All these experiences are “how you make a man.” Throughout the song, Morgan acknowledges all the triumphs and tribulations. It is clear he knows a thing or two about rising from the ashes.
“Daddy said let me tell you son // It’s the good days, bad days // Goodbyes, heartbreaks // Taillights fading cause you didn’t say enough // The loss and the tears // and the laughs and the beers // The one’s you find, the ones you walk away from // You learn to crawl, you rise, you fall // You hit your knees until you learn to stand // that’s how you make a man”
As a veteran in the industry, Morgan is not trying to fit in with the “cool kids.” He is carving a path that is distinctly his own. Fans who appreciate honest, vulnerable, and emotive lyrics will continue to jump on his bandwagon. just like we have!

Madison Kozak’s new track, “Loud House” is out now, August 5th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new song below.
Madison Kozak follows up last month’s clever “One Girl To Another” is the incredibly honest and nostalgic “Loud House”. The song was written by Kozak years ago, and the message of the song still holds true, if not more so now that time has passed. Kozak grew up as one-of-eight children, and although she reflects on her childhood with love, she is sincere in acknowledging its difficulties of it as well.
“Growin’ up in a loud house // You get used to the sound // Happy or sad // There’s always a crowd // And when you’re sixteen // You can’t wait to move out // Out of a loud house”
In a lot of ways, it’s a continuation and older sister of 2019 release “Household”. While that story is more reminiscent and poignant, “Loud House” cuts straight to the heart of growing up. It’s the best and the most difficult, and you can love your family while processing the dynamics and patterns you grew up learning.
“Mom and Dad are shoutin’ // Throwing words around // Don’t know what it’s about // But it don’t sound good // And she starts crying // He peels out the drive // And then it’s all quiet in the neighborhood”
“I wrote ‘Loud House’ within the first year of signing my publishing deal, so I’ve been sitting on it for a minute,” Kozak shares. “It felt very special from the day I wrote it. I remember running across the street to Big Loud and playing it right after I wrote it, because I was just so excited. It felt like an actual piece of my heart in song form.”
The production, melody, and Kozak’s vocal delivery on this song is some of her strongest work yet. This tune is a showstopper in a way that her breakout “First Last Name” is. The sonics are slow enough to really digest the lyrics and the story, and every detail is nuanced and stunning.
It’s no surprise that Madison Kozak continues to release great song after great song, and it seems she has no plans of stopping. It’s refreshing to hear a nostalgic perspective that hits both the sweet memories and the ones harder to swallow in a more modern country song. The longing for peace and less chaos growing up to not being able to navigate the quiet is a very realistic narrative and one that should be explored more often.

Travis Denning releases his new EP, Might As Well Be Me, out now, August 5th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new project below and check out our full review.
Travis Denning made his mark on the country scene with his 2019 radio hit, “After A Few.” Since then, the Georgia-native has released three, six-track EPs, all of which have represented four major themes: nostalgia, love, heartbreak, and southern pride. The opening track, “Red Round Here,” is his ode to country life. He lists all the mundane jobs people carry out daily, and says it is his job to “keep it red down here.” The track is very upbeat and country, and the chorus’ rhyme scheme gives it a nice flow and makes it a fun tune for the tailgate playlist.
“Somebody’s gotta keep it red ‘round here, hold it down down here // Pop a county-line sign full of lead ‘round here, yeah // Crank some Hank on the bank throw some bait on a limb line hanging on a tree”
The single, “Buy A Girl A Drink” explains how this simple act can have a huge impact on your life. He says it is the best way to spend $7.50, as it can lead to a forever love. The writers, Jeremy Stover, Paul DiGiovanni, Chase McGill, and Denning, go through the whole timeline, including the first kiss, the wedding, honeymoon, children, etc.
“River Named Mississippi” is a simple love song in which Denning confesses his feelings for this person using many State metaphors, ending with the phrase “I’m going to love you as long as there’s a river named Mississippi.”
“Long as there’s pine trees in Georgia, Rockies in Colorado // Stars in California, Chevy makes a Silverado // Long as cowboys in Texas, Tennessee bottles whiskey // I’m gonna love you long as there’s a river named Mississippi “
Denning captures his past so well in his songwriting. From his debut single about a fake I.D.—“David Ashley Parker from Powder Springs”—to now “Don’t Give A Truck,” Denning explains his reasoning for why not to give your teenage boy a truck. He quite obviously talks from personal experience, describing all the reckless things he did in his truck in the past. This is a relatable tale to anyone who grew up driving around in their parent’s car.
“Don’t give a truck, don’t give a truck, don’t give a truck to a small town kid // ‘Cause he’s gonna end up, gonna end up, making don’t tell stories in the back of it // He’ll drive too fast, burn some gas, if the last thing you want is him looking back”
“She’s On It” was the second song released on the EP. This cleverly written tune starts out by describing a girl who is enjoying a Friday night on Main Street. The girl suddenly shifts from the protagonist to the main plot point after the first verse, as the listener soon learns about the ex-boyfriend who is drinking his sorrows away at the bar. She’s on the dance floor, on her new guy’s tab, and—unfortunately—still on her ex’s mind.
“He’s got his phone on the bar face down, he can’t stand to see that background //When it lights up, I bet she’s on it (I bet she’s on it) // And for all he knows there’s some new guy // Makin’ her laugh with all his lines // If he’s got a tab // I bet she’s on it”
The EP’s closer, “If You Need Anything,” is a sad, yet powerful tribute to someone who passed away. The singer is talking to his fallen friend and tells him if he needs anything, give him a sign from up above. Driven by a simple, acoustic guitar to start, the production increases and adds drama to the story when the chorus rolls around, similar to the kind of emotion listeners feel when HARDY’s “GIVE HEAVEN SOME HELL” comes on.
“I bet it’s nice up there this time of year, but if you need anything down here // Have an old red Chevrolet like yours drive by, put an old Skynyrd song on the radio // Make a couple shooting stars fly across the sky, hook me up to a bass at the honey hole”
“Last year and my most recent EP were all about thankfulness, and being glad to have any live shows at all,” Denning said in a recent press release, expressing the drive behind a new creative chapter. “This time a lot of that is behind us, and it’s like ‘Alright, let’s get to work.’ Overall, I wanted this EP to feel like a setlist. And I wanted it to be a no skipper.”
Might As Well Be Me EP Tracklist:
Red Round Here
River Named Mississippi

Don’t Give A Truck

In his incredible career, Luke Bryan has certified himself as a superstar. With a killer catalog of songs to choose from, we are sharing our favorites that did not quite make it to country radio.
With 31 singles from seven albums, the superstar has generated 25 number one hits over his 15+ year career in Nashville. This included a run of eighteen-straight hits from 2011-2018.
Here are 5 Luke Bryan songs that should have been singles…
“Been There, Done That” – Tailgates & Tanlines
This catchy song from his third studio album, written by Bryan and Rachel Thibodeau, is about a relationship that constantly has its breakups and breakthroughs. Bryan’s counterpart continuously calls him with the intent of getting back together. He, on the other hand, has learned that you cannot force a relationship and he is tired of trying to make it work.
“Beer in the Headlights” – Crash My Party
Almost every song on Bryan’s fourth studio album could have had success at radio; it was certified Platinum and was the third best-selling album of 2013 all-genre. This fun, up-tempo tune checks off all the boxes of a 2013 radio hit, but with all five singles topping the charts, Bryan switched gears to move onto his next project and “Beer in the Headlights” was never given its chance.
“Just Over” – Kill the Lights
After another fight with his girlfriend, the singer just assumes that they will make up again, just like the past. This time, however, she wanted to officially end the relationship. Its catchy chorus is perfect for country radio, but with six other singles on his fifth studio album, it was time for Bryan to move onto the next record.
“Hooked On It” – What Makes You Country
There are a lot of fun songs on Bryan’s sixth studio album, but “Hooked On It” defines the theme of the project the best. With heavy electric guitar and supporting banjo, this tune perfectly paints the image of southern life. The album’s fourth single, which served as the title track, ending Bryan’s run at eighteen-straight number ones, which may have been a reason to move on from this record.
“For A Boat”— Born Here, Live Here, Die Here
“For a Boat” is a sweet song about loving what you have and not what you don’t. The man in the song recalls learning all of life’s most important lessons fishing on a bank, instead of on a boat. Growing up “too broke for a boat” taught him the value of money, patience, family, and much more. Four of the ten songs on Bryan’s latest record topped the country radio chart, and two more singles were sent to radio after he released the deluxe edition the next year. Unfortunately, there was no room for this song to become a single.

One of the best things about country songs is the way they make us feel. Here are 10 songs you need to listen to that will boost your mood!
“Whiskey Glasses” – Morgan Wallen
This melancholy jam starts any party. As do many of Wallen’s song, this just happens to one of the classics!
“I Was On a Boat That Day” – Old Dominion
Old Dominion songs are perfect for the summer, but this single, “I Was On a Boat That Day” is one of our current favorites. Blast this all summer long!
“Little Red Wagon”- Miranda Lambert
This playlist is not complete without Lambert’s killer song “Little Red Wagon.” You can not tell us you don’t feel sassy as hell when you sing this song.
“Before He Cheats” – Carrie Underwood
Echoing the statements from the Miranda Lambert song, this Carrie Underwood classic is another tune that is full of sass. Everyone loves singing it!
“Song About You” – Sam Grow
This Sam Grow song was recommended by one of our readers on Facebook. We agree that the song will for sure boost your mood.
“Chicken Fried” – Zac Brown Band
Every music lover is obsessed with this song, even if they do not admit it. “Chicken Fried” is fun bottled up in a feel-good song.
“Good Time” – Niko Moon
The title of this song does not disappoint! Niko Moon’s number one single is a bop and a jam all at the same time.
“AA” – Walker Hayes
Lately, Walker Hayes has been cranking out hit after hit. “AA” is another one of his catchy tunes that you cannot help but jam to.
“Does to Me” – Luke Combs ft. Eric Church
When two superstars combine, you know that it is going to be an incredible song. Luke Combs and Eric Church’s “Does to Me” definitely fits the bill.
“GIRL” – Maren Morris
We had to end this list with the confidence-boosting-anthem, “GIRL.” This one might be for the girls, but we know the guys love it too!

Jordan Rowe releases new song, “5:00 In The Country,” out now, July 29th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.
Almost a year after releasing his debut album, Bad Case of the Good Ole Boy, Jordan Rowe is back with new music, “5:00 In The Country”.
This is the perfect song to turn on after a hard week of work. It reminds you that no matter the type of week you’ve had, the weekend is the time to put in the past and enjoy doing the things you love.
Written by Rowe, Hunter Phelps, and Driver Williams, this song will not only have you up and dancing but will also take you to church. Accompanied by an actual choir, the vocalists join the singer-songwriter during the uplifting chorus.As they emphasize the word up, you’ll automatically feel as if you are joining them at their Sunday worship.
“Get up, everybody from the hill to the holler // Fill up the gas tank and a cooler full of swollers // Pull up to the party with ya clean truck muddy // Stop, pop a top it’s 5 o’clock in the country”
Being part of a choir is nothing new to Rowe. The South Georgia native grew up singing in his hometown choir which started his love of performing. We love that he is sticking to his roots and continues to incorporate his faith into his music.
Already sharing the stage with award-winning artists including Luke Combs, Rowe is gearing up for his own headlining tour in the South later this year. We can’t wait to continue to watch his career develop!

Brett Sheroky shares new track, “Life Ain’t Always Pretty” out now, July 29th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new song below.
Every time Brett Sheroky releases new music, we are always so excited to share it. Time and time again, Sheroky creates songs that speak to real-life stories, emotions, and experiences. His latest release, “Life Ain’t Always Pretty” is a prefect example of that.
The heartfelt ballad expresses the duality that life is all about. Even in the darkest times, there is light and even in the light, there is hard times and grief to deal with. The song is full of one-liners that will make you reevaluate your thoughts on life. We so often as humans forget to be grateful for the good moments and lean on the ones we love in the tougher ones. As always, Sheroky is sharing his truth with his growing fanbase.
“It’s the crying out your eyes around a casket, when you can’t get someone back // But it’s the thought about how good it was when they were here that makes it hurt so bad // It’s the baby that won’t sleep // It’s driving you insane // Them smiling, chubby cheeks, makes it all okay // Life ain’t always pretty // It’s something else sometimes // But it’s the good and bad and living that makes you feel alive”
Sheroky’s new song, “Life Ain’t Always Pretty” is a songwriting dream. Every lyric is important and impactful. It is one of those country songs that every fan needs to listen to at least once.

Brooke Eden releases her new EP, Choosing You, out now, July 29th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new project below and check out our full review.
Rising country artist, Brooke Eden creates music that speaks to her personal experience, while still maintaining relatability to the masses. Her music is meant for people who want to feel something. The deep connection she feels for her music is evident across her musical catalog. Today, the singer-songwriter shares her EP, Choosing You, out now.
The record houses five incredible tracks, all co-written by Eden. “Knock” starts off the project. The song is as real as it gets. Eden takes the role of a supportive friend or a big sister on this track. She is telling a girl to stop letting a lover treat her poorly. At the same time, she is reminding us all of the sobering lessons that we do not have to accept love from someone that does not deserve us.
“Left You For Me” is the next song on the record. The previously released tune is all about radical honesty and self-love. It is about trusting your gut, honoring what’s right for you, and abandoning anything not meant for you. The single is a solid reminder to build a life we love.
“I guess I accidentally // Went and wrapped my whole damn wrong around ya // Holding on until one day I was looking in the mirror at someone I don’t want to be // Can’t you see you I didn’t leave you for somebody else // I left you for me”
The record continues with the next two songs on the project, “Comeback Love” and “Heartless.” The former is a pop-inspired track that boasts a catchy melody and memorable lyrics. On the other hand, “Heartless” taps into the quieter and more vulnerable side of the songstress. The track seems to draw inspiration from sensual jazz-like songs. It shares the struggles we often go through in love.
Choosing You ends with one last song, “Off The Ground.” Quite possibly our favorite off the EP, the song combines the vulnerability and the confidence that we have come to expect from an Eden song.
Overall, the EP is exactly what we wanted from the talented singer-songwriter. We believe, she has secured her staying power in country music with this killer project.
Choosing You EP Tracklist:
“Knock” (Brooke Eden, Steph Jones, Jesse Frasure)
“Left You For Me” (Brooke Eden, Kyle Schlienger, Jon Stone)
“Comeback Love” (Brooke Eden, Jesse Frasure, Sarah Buxton)
