Adam Doleac just released a brand new song “Coulda Loved You Longer” available now, April 23rd, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.
We have been big fans of Adam Doleac, since the very beginning when the singer-songwriter joined us for a live session back in 2017. He continues to get better and better with each new release. The hitmaker released “Another” back in September, and is finally releasing new music again. Today, the singer dropped his next song, “Coulda Loved You Longer.”
Doleac is an artist that is instantly recognizable the moment you hear him sing. “Coulda Loved You Longer” fits right in with his catalog of music. The brand new love song is delightfully charming and mesmerizing at the same time. It transports you into a movie scene, where all you feel is loved and adored. Doleac croons about wishing he had met his love sooner, all so they could experience love together even longer. How romantic is that?
“Wish I’d met ya sooner // So I coulda loved you longer // Wish I’d spent it all // Instead of wasting all that time // All of our favorite memories // Go back a little bit father // Wish I’d met you sooner // So I coulda loved you // So I coulda loved you longer”
Adam Doleac’s “Coulda Loved You Longer” is available now, April 23rd
Despite the fact that the lyrical content is about love, a typical topic in country music to write about, Doleac finds a way to put his own spin on everything he does. The song feels fresh and innovative, without feeling too new. It’s clear that he has figured out the right formula for his music, and we cannot wait to see what he shares for country music lovers next!

Chris Lane’s highly anticipated brand new song, “Fill Them Boots” is available now, April 23rd, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new song.
It has been quite a while since Chris Lane has put new music out — twenty-two months to be exact. He has been riding the slow and steady climb of his latest single “Big, Big Plans,” which hit number one in December, making it the singer’s third chart-topping hit. Today, April 23rd, Lane blessed us with a brand new song titled “Fill Them Boots”.
Lane made his fans wait almost a year for this song, as he teased a demo of it last May on Instagram. Produced by Joey Moi and penned by himself with Josh Miller, Mark Trussell, and Ernest, Lane tells a story of a girl on the rebound. The man sees her holding back tears at the bar, which causes him to swoop in with hopes of boosting her spirits and potentially becoming her new boyfriend. Lane’s twang mixed with a simple string/percussion melody makes this a fun, ‘nice-guys-finish-first’ anthem.
“Girl, it’s time to move on, scoot on over // You’re looking like you can use a brand new shoulder // Let your heart break, take a holiday // for a song or a drink or two any ways // I don’t him from Adam but I’m kind of mad at him, for the way he did you // Yeah, I can fill them boots”
Lane has teased some demos of other songs on social media over the past year as well, so be on the lookout for a future EP or perhaps even a full-length album. His last record, Laps Around the Sun, was released in July of 2018 and featured 2x platinum, number-one hit “I Don’t Know About You” and 2x platinum top ten track, “Take Back Home Girl” with Tori Kelly.

Justin Moore’s new album, Straight Outta The Country, is available now, April 23rd, on all streaming platforms. With 8 new tracks, take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new music in our First Impression review.
Justin Moore has always toed the line between traditional and modern country perfectly. With hits like “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away” and “Small Town USA” under his oft-oversized belt buckle, Moore has managed to always stay true to his sound. Yet, while staying true to himself, he manages to continuously release music that sounds contemporary with a classic twist. This is the case on his new album, Straight Outta the Country, out today, April 23.
The album opens with “Hearing Things,” an ode to living in the city and missing the greener grass of country life. Written by Rhett Akins, Kelly Archer, and Chris Stevens, the song is fitting for a New York-dwelling country music fan, as we can relate to Moore and his remarks that he can “hear honking horns from the 21st floor,” and thinks he’s going crazy hearing the sounds of his country life. “I think I’m going crazy // Hearing things in my head like // Truck tires rolling on a gravel road // AM static on the radio // Pine trees swinging and singing when the wind blows,” Moore drawls. “I swear I’m hearing things like // Muddy water rippling on the riverbank // The lonesome whistle of a midnight train // Sounds crazy I know // But I’m hearing things // And they’re calling me home.”
The album’s lead single “We Didn’t Have Much” appears two times on the album, as both a full band and an acoustic track. While the former is currently climbing the charts at county radio, it’s the latter that allows the stellar lyrical content to shine. Co-written by Paul DiGiovanni, Randy Montana, and Jeremy Stover, “We Didn’t Have Much” also brings about nostalgia for simpler days and a simpler place. “There was dirt on Daddy’s clothes // From putting that bacon on momma’s stove // Dog barking in the yard at a truck we don’t know,” Moore recalls. “All we had was us // That little bitty house and a lotta love // We had it all when we didn’t have much.”
While Moore can hold his own on an up-tempo, he shines on the slower and sentimental tracks, including “You Keep Getting Me Drunk” and “More Than Me.” The latter is a beautiful love letter of a song, co-written by Moore, DiGiovanni, Chase McGill, and Stover, to Moore’s children. On the heartfelt track, he tells of all the things he wishes for his children. “I hope you love // I hope you hit your knees // Hope you get to see the hometown team win // A little more than me,” He sings. “I know the world’s gonna think the world of you // But I swear on the stars above you // No one’s gonna love you // More than me.”
On “You Keep Getting Me Drunk,” Moore shows his heartbroken side, drinking to dull the pain over his lost love. “How can I get over us when I can’t even sober up?” He asks, the song displays a clever twist of a breakup track, highlighted perfectly by Sarah Buxton’s impeccable background vocals.
The album’s title track is a heavier Moore than we’re used to, driving guitars filling the song. This is an anthem to country-living that we can easily see kicking off or closing out a Moore live show, leaving the audience clamoring for more Moore.
Overall, Justin Moore’s Straight Outta Country is a quintessential mix of modern and contemporary country, Moore’s small-town charm shining on tales of simpler times, country living, celebrating life, and lost love.

Brett Young just announced his latest album, Weekends Look A Little Different These Days, due out June 4th, and dropped a brand new song, “Not Yet”, available now, April 23rd, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new music.
After a busy month of releasing “You Got Away With It”, announcing his family is growing once again with a second baby girl on the way, and celebrating his 40th birthday, Brett Young has a full plate of exciting things to come both personally and professionally. Along with announcing a new forthcoming album, Young also dropped a brand new song “Not Yet” ahead of the project. The track is one of those good things that is sure to be eaten up and devoured by country radio; parallel with rising to the top of the country charts.
A song that demands to be heard on the way to the beach with your girlfriends or during a late-night long way home, cruisin’-around-town type of night, this new single from the singer-songwriter is as endearing and memorable as any good country-pop hit has been and will be to come. The starry-eyed and moon-chasing performer who has provided the public with access to being enchanted by his wife, Taylor Mills, specifically with the recently acclaimed #1 hit “Lady”, Young adds to his discography with “Not Yet”.
Brett Young’s new song, “Not Yet” is available now, April 23rd
“You still got a lot of kisses left on your lips // Yeah, you still got a lot of time to take away my breath // You still got a lot of driving me wild left // with that smile, with those eyes // I ain’t done loving you tonight, not yet”

Eric Church’s new album, Soul, is available now, April 23rd, on all streaming platforms. The record marks the last of 3 new albums released by Church this month, including ‘&’ and ‘Heart‘.. Read our first impression review of ‘Soul’ below as we dig a little deeper into the new music.
Eric Church’s last of three new albums, ‘Soul’ available everywhere now, April 23rd
For Eric Church fans, the final piece of his incredible Heart & Soulcollection is Soul, released today, April 23. Following in the footsteps of Heartand &, Soul shows Church stretching himself musically, sampling different sounds and truly making another standout record. Out of the three new releases, Soul is sonically the most diverse of Church’s offerings, truly living up to its name.
Soul opens with the grooving “Rock & Roll Found Me,” which tells the tale of a “skinny little white kid,” whose life was changed when he discovered music. He compares it to his faith and to a drug, a new addiction for a kid from the wrong side of the tracks. “I turned on my amps and all at once my blind could see,” He proclaims. “Yeah when rock and roll found me.”
Church continues to explore his soulful side throughout this project with songs like “Where I Wanna Be” and “Look Good And You Know It.” The latter track mixes driving guitars with a breakdown that actually sounds like an old doo-wop song, Church seamlessly trading vocals with the female background singers. Meanwhile, “Where I Wanna Be” also shows Church experimenting musically and vocally, his voice sliding into a falsetto as he croons, “And I’m down, I’m game, I’m in, I’m free // Wherevеr she is that’s where I wanna bе.”
“Break It Kind of Guy,” is classic Church with a twist, the chorus almost venturing into Bee Gees-esque territory, while “Bad Mother Trucker” continues in that similar vein, as its Church dialed up to eleven. The breakdown midway through is truly something special, and we cannot wait to hear this live.
While Church is experimenting with different sounds and styles here, there’s also some tried and true Chief on Soul. This is exemplified on one of the album’s highlights, “Hell of a View,” Church singing of life with him, “This ain’t for everybody // Toes hanging off the ledge // Like we got nothin’ to lose // Ain’t always heaven, baby // This livin’ on the edge // You holdin’ me holdin’ you // It’s a hell of a view.”
Likewise, “Jenny” is a mid-tempo country song that Church debuted at this year’s Country Radio Seminar, revealing to those in attendance that it was inspired by a broken generator.
Soulends with “Lynyrd Skynard Jones,” the only track not co-written by Church. Written by his frequent collaborator Casey Beathard, the song reveals the story of an Alabama boy whose mother was a big fan of Lynyrd Skynyrd, “born to carry on who his mother was a fan of.” Church tells the haunting tale over a simple acoustic guitar, a twist coming in the song’s final line. While Eric Church can rock with the best of them, he’s also one of the genre’s finest storytellers, as evidenced on “Lynyrd Skynard Jones.”
Soul is Church’s most eclectic collection yet, beginning with “Rock & Roll Found Me,” and we’re so glad it did, as it’s impossible to imagine a world without Eric Church’s music.

Eric Church’s new album, ‘&’ is available now, April 20th, exclusively on vinyl to members of his fan club, The Church Choir. It’s the second of 3 new albums to be released by Church this month, including Heart, released on April 16th, and Soul, due out April 23rd. Read our first impression review of ‘&‘ below as we dig a little deeper into the new music.
Eric Church’s ‘&’ is available now, April 20th, exclusively on vinyl to members of his fan club, The Church Choir, only.
If you want to hear the second piece of Eric Church’s Heart & Soulcollection, ‘&’, you need to be a member of his Church Choir fan club, and you need to own a record player. Released exclusively on vinyl (at least for now), the six-track collection is the second of three albums released this month by Church. Last Friday, April 16th, he shared his Heart, and he’ll share his Soul this Friday, April 23rd.
Overall, ‘&’ shows Church’s sensitive and introspective side, the majority of the songs lean towards being more low-key and mid-tempo. The exception is “Do Side,” a guitar-driven track that puts Church’s rock influences on full display. On here, he’s the left behind and not the leaver, remarking “Yeah, the player got played.” However, the emotional change of pace is a welcomed one, as he realizes that he might have gotten what he needed, finding himself on the “do side of a give a damn.”
As a release solely for his devoted fans, much of ‘&’ pays homage to those who have been loyal to Church since the beginning. The opening track, “Through My Ray-Bans,” is a heartfelt ode to the Chief’s view every night from the stage. “Everybody’s got their arms around // Everybody else’s shoulders // Guarding against the world outside // Like an army of Friday night soldiers,” He sings. “The battle wages tomorrow // But tonight you don’t give a damn // Wish you could stay the way I see you // Through my Ray-Bans.”
On “Doing Life With Me,” Church continues to show his softer side on this musical thank you to his wife, and all of those special people “doing life with him.” It’s a beautiful track, perfect for first dances and wedding receptions, with Church singing, “Spend my living giving thanks // For the ships I never sank // Every big, every little in the everyday things // The notes and the words and the songs I sing // To the ones doing life with me.”
Church is also heartbroken on ‘&’, as evidenced on “Kiss Her Goodbye” and “Mad Man.” The former tells the clever tale of all of the places he loves to kiss someone, except now he can’t bring himself to “kiss her goodbye.” On “Mad Man,” he sings of a man driven crazy by his lost love. While this track starts off slow, it picks up with a blistering guitar solo in the second half, Church’s vocals shining as he proclaims he’s “like a mad man.”
The album ends with “Lone Wolf,” another epic track that builds and explodes with meaning. “Yeah, this lone wolf is done runnin’ down the moon // In the daylight dark of the night this heart is howlin’ for you,” He sings, “Yeah, this lone wolf ain’t lonely anymore // ‘Cause you weren’t afraid to reach out and save a lone wolf at your door.”
While ‘&’ is shrouded in a bit of mystery due to the exclusivity of its release, it features six solid new tracks that Church devotees are sure to love. However, for those who aren’t yet members of the Church Choir, ‘&’ might just make the membership worth the investment.

Filmore just released a nostalgic new track titled “Used To Be”, available everywhere today, April 16th, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.
Back in September, one of our favorite artists, Filmore dropped his incredible 18-track debut album. Despite that release, Filmore is not slowing down. He follows up the record and his new song “Good Thing” with another spectacular new single. The singer-songwriter dropped “Used To Be” earlier today.
Complete with signature Filmore charm and flavor, “Used To Be” is a pensive and nostalgic jam about missing a relationship. The singer takes it a step further, admitting to missing the type of man he was when he used to be with this particular girl. We appreciate the reflective nature of Filmore’s songwriting; however, his vocals are just as enticing.
Filmore’s “Used To Be” is available now, April 16th
“I knew you like the back of my hand I wish you were holding // It’s too late to say I’m sorry and now everywhere I go in this small town // Just reminds me, what used to be // Back when we used to be young, used to be wild”
It is just the beginning for Filmore and his blossoming career. With each and every song released, he continues to grow his fanbase exponentially. His signature pop-country sound is innovative, and we cannot wait to see his star continue to rise. To get more of your Filmore fix, check out our Swag Session below where he joined us back in to chat and play a few songs.

Miranda Lambert along with Jack Ingram and Jon Randall just released a new song as part of their forthcoming collaboration project, ‘The Marfa Tapes’. “Anchor” is available now, April 16th, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.
County music superstar Miranda Lambert has joined forces with fellow musicians, Jack Ingram and Jon Randall on a brand new record entitled THE MARFA TAPES, slated to come out on May 7th. The record is a culmination of intimate songs that the threesome wrote and recorded together in the tiny town of Marfa, Texas. This week, the singer-songwriters release another track off the record, a song called “Anchor.”
Similar to the previous releases, “Anchor” is a swoon-worthy song that is all about the vocals and the lyrics. With just an acoustic guitar, the trio harmonizes about love in the spectacular tune. Ingram takes the lead on this song, singing all the verses off the track in a way that is both inviting and intimate. Lambert humbly takes a back seat and can be heard softly harmonizing during the chorus.
“Be my anchor // Come and save me // Come and take me // To the other side”
So far, the trio has released songs that showcase all sides of each of their unique talents. “Anchor,” “Tin Man” (Re-release” and “In His Arms,” and “Am I right or Amarillo” are incredible sneak peeks of the upcoming record. We look forward to hearing the full-length project and the magic that the trio has created together.

Tim McGraw just released two digital deluxe versions of his #1 album Here on Earth (Ultimate Edition) and Here on Earth (Video Edition), both available today, Friday, April 16th. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new music.
Tim McGraw’s Here On Earth (Ultimate Edition) is out now, April 16th
McGraw surprised fans with the announcement of these two deluxe albums and the release of his new single, “God Moves the Pen”, only days before the albums dropped, hardly making country music lovers wait until they had new music and videos from the three-time GRAMMY winner.
The extended album, out today, includes 30 tracks total, 16 of which are the original tracklist off the #1 album, which includes songs like “I Called Mama” and the title track. The next 8 songs are a mix of previously released songs from McGraw including, “Undivided” with Tyler Hubbard, “Neon Church”, “Thought About You”, and his latest single “God Moves the Pen”. As well as new songs like fan favorite, “Cuttin’ Onions”, “Truth Is”, and two bonus movie tracks: “Keep Your Eyes on Me” with Faith Hill from the 2017 film The Shack and “Gravity” from the 2018 documentary Free Solo. The final six tracks are video versions of “Here on Earth”, “I Called Mama”, “Gravy”, “Undivided”, “Thought About You”, and “Neon Church”. McGraw had already released a lyric video for each of the 16 songs on the original version of the album.
This massive collection of songs marks its own era of music from McGraw which is what made him want them all to be included together in its own project. He shared that “Neon Church” started a new chapter, and he wanted to make sure it was included in the full story of Here on Earth.
Earlier this week, McGraw spoke on his connection to one of the new songs off the record “Cuttin’ Onions”, a song written by brothers Brad Warren and Brett Warren with Monty Criswell. McGraw shared: “Cuttin’ Onions…hit me pretty close to home, growing up. It reminded me a lot of my childhood and the way I grew up in some certain circumstances. So it just put me right into the position of those memories and that life that I had growing up that wasn’t the best sometimes. So that’s what it did to me… I can visually picture it. I mean I could picture the house. I could picture the windows open and the curtains blowing out of the windows. I could picture all of it happening. It was just to me, it was just so vivid. For one thing, there was some inner emotional connection that I had to it with my life but also, it was just so visceral and visual to me that I couldn’t, I just couldn’t get it out of my head.” See the behind the scenes clip and interview here.
“Sunday mornin’, my best shirt // Crockpot’s on for dinner after church // Dad was baptized by Lynchburg // Mama’d always beg him to come with us // Crying cuttin’ onions in the kitchen
Another brand new song off the album, “Truth Is” is about not wanting to face the truth about a relationship that’s come to an end so you just avoid seeing the people that are going to make you talk about it. Similar to other heartbreak songs off the album like “7500 OBO”, “Not From California”, and “If I Was a Cowboy”, “Truth Is” is about doing what you can to forget what was or what could have been and struggling to face what you’re going through.
“I don’t wanna go, where everybody knows your name // So I just stay at home, many more these days // ‘Cause every time I leave the house I hear somebody asking about you and I just can’t bring myself to tell the truth about it so I tell a lie // Say you’re doing pretty good and things are going like they should and when I get back home tonight I’m gonna tell you that they sad to tell you ‘hi’”
“Keep Your Eyes on Me” and “Gravity” are both songs that McGraw co-wrote. “Keep Your Eyes on Me” is the first song he and Faith Hill wrote together with Lori McKenna, which McGraw and Hill performed together in the 2017 film The Shack, which McGraw also starred in. The superstar shared that “Gravity” was the third song he’d ever written for a film, also with Lori McKenna, and that he knew he wanted it to be included on a project down the line. If you’ve ever seen Free Solo or know the incredible story of Alex Holland, then you know the immense weight this song holds in being the one that closes out the film.
“Keep your eyes on me // When you’re lost in the dark // Keep your eyes on me // When the light in your heart is too burnt out to see // Keep your eyes on me // Swear you’re all alone sometimes // Keep your eyes on me // And you can’t find your way home sometimes // Keep your eyes on me”
On June 12th, there will be a special edition 12” vinyl available for Record Store Day that will have “Undivided”, on one side, and an acoustic version of “I Called Mama” on the other. These two songs are incredible representatives of not only McGraw’s current career but of how he is releasing important music at an essential time.
“Undivided” was released at a crucial moment for our country, and just in time for the Presidential Inauguration in January where McGraw and Hubbard performed the song live for the first time together. They have also released a director’s cut version of the song’s music video since then. “I Called Mama”, now out for almost a year, continues to act as a reminder of the importance of home and human connection even in the toughest of times.
