/in , , /by

Luke Bryan scores his 30th number one song at country radio this week with single, “Country On.” Learn all the details here.

A mainstay in country music, Luke Bryan truly knows no bounds. His infectious personality and catchy songs have had country music fans celebrating his music for well over a decade. His most recent single, “Country On” marks his 30th number one song at country radio.

Bryan debuted the song back in July, which shows just how quickly the song catapulted up the charts. Written by David Frasier, Mark Nesler, Mitch Oglesby, and Styles Haury, the song is all about uniting Americans. It is as patriotic and anthemic as it can get, without coming across too cheesy or lacking substance. The song is the perfect song to remind fans across the world that we are all one, no matter our differences.

“Hey cowboy, keep slingin’ that rope // Eatin’ that dirt, wearing that gold // Break a leg rodeo, but just don’t break no bones // Country on // Hey barkeep, how ’bout another round? // Keep the neon lit in this crazy town // Just pour a little more // Country on”

In a world that often feels so divisive, it is nice that Bryan can continue to connect people through music. Music has always been the ultimate healer. “Country On” is one of those songs that can be medicine. Congrats to Bryan and his team on another incredible number one!

Jelly Roll Releases Brand New Song “Need A Favor”

/in , , /by

Jelly Roll’s brand new song, “Need A Favor” is out now, December 9th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.

Jason DeFord, known professionally as Jelly Roll, has been creating music predominately in the hip-hop realm his entire career. Recently, he has been experimenting with more traditional sounds and returning to his Nashville roots. For his 2021 album, Ballads Of The Broken, Jelly Roll teamed up with renowned songwriter, ERNEST to collaborate on the single “Son Of A Sinner”, which currently sits at number two on the National Country Airplay chart.

In “NEED A FAVOR,” written with Austin Nivarel, and Joe and Rob Ragosta, Jelly Roll discusses his relationship with God, confessing how he only reaches out when he needs something from him. He acknowledges that in order for God to help him, he would have to change his ways. In the second verse, we find out the favor is his girl not leaving him. Sonically the track contains heavy percussion with fiddle sprinkled in between the lyrics.

I only talk to God when I need a favor // And I only pray when I ain’t got a prayer // So, who the hell am I, who the hell am I // To expect a Savior o-o-oh // If I only talk to God when I need a favor // God I need a favor

Why Do So Many Country Artists Support St. Jude?

/in , /by

As a country music fan, year after year, it’s almost certain that you’ve found your favorite country music artists supporting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Whether through benefit concerts, posts on social media, or rocking the ‘This Shirt Saves Lives’ tee, it’s pretty clear that St. Jude holds a very special place in the country music community. 

While the answer may seem obvious by brief definition alone, — St. Jude leads the way the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. To learn even more, Country Swag took a visit to St. Jude during the annual ‘Country Cares Seminar’ this fall.

Launched more than 30 years ago, Randy Owen from the band Alabama stood up during Nashville’s Annual Country Radio Seminar and asked his friends, colleagues, and radio partners to join together to help St. Jude and the children they serve, and so, the ‘Country Cares Seminar’ was born. The program unites more than 200 radio stations, influencers, and dozens of country music artists annually to raise awareness and support for St. Jude.

During the seminar, all guests are invited to tour St. Jude, located in Memphis, Tennessee, and see firsthand the inspirational work that the teams at St. Jude are doing. Upon the first introduction, guests learn about the organization and what exactly makes it so impactful and so special. Perhaps the most remarkable part is that thanks to very generous donors, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food. Families receive the best care in the world, at no cost, making the worst and darkest days of their lives a little bit brighter – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.

In addition, St Jude’s research facility and labs are open 24/7 and freely share their findings, protocols, and breakthroughs, so that every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands of more children.

Thanks to generous donations, the brilliant teams at St. Jude have access to equipment that costs millions and millions of dollars, which just not all doctors and scientists everywhere have access to. This not only gives them the freedom to focus on what matters most — saving kids regardless of their financial situation, but they are able to share their discoveries and patients everywhere are getting treatments that were started at St. Jude. Consequently, when you’re donating to St. Jude, you’re not just donating to one hospital in one city, you’re funding the source and if speaking to cancer patients around the world, a common thread may be that many have been treated by protocols that have been sourced by St. Jude. St. Jude is actively working towards a world where no family ever has to hear the words “you have cancer”.

Seeing the work, hearing stories from doctors and patients alike, and understanding the experiences at St. Jude make it easy to recognize the importance of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and instantly inspires guests to get involved and help raise awareness. Next time you see your favorite artists talking about and supporting St. Jude it’s likely because they were able to have these experiences too and see firsthand the amazing work done at St. Jude.

Words like “inspiring”, “joy”, “positivity” and “healing” are just some of the many terms that came to mind for country artists like Breland, Kameron Marlowe, and Randy Owen, during their recent visit to St. Jude, as seen in the video above.

There are great research institutions, great hospitals, and great charities. St. Jude is all three. You can join the cause and help support St. Jude and the incredible initiative set forth by many country artists and celebrities alike with the ‘This Shirt Saves Lives’ t-shirt. For a monthly donation of just $19, you get the exclusive tee and all funds directly support the incredible St. Jude organization.

It costs over a million dollars daily to operate St. Jude each and every day. Donations allow St. Jude to continue to help children everywhere.

Join us and many of your favorite country artists like Carly Pearce, Sam Hunt, Dierks Bentley, and Kelsea Ballerini, and help save lives.

To donate and get your own “This Shirt Saves Lives” t-shirt head to: musicgives.org.

Who Is John Morgan? The Story Behind His Journey to Country Music

/in , , /by

Who is John Morgan? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about his journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…

John Morgan // Photo by Justin Mrusek

Quick Facts:

Full Name – John Morgan
Birthdate – 08/08/1995
Hometown – Sylva, North Carolina
Current City – Nashville, Tennessee
Musical Influences – Keith Whitley, Ronnie Milsap, John Mayer
Current Single – “Friends Like That” (*as of date of article: 12/5/2022)

The Beginning:

Today’s spotlight is shining on an artist that is the full package. John Morgan is a singer, songwriter, and artist in his own right. We predict that 2023 is going to be a huge year for the entertainer; however, you can start becoming a huge fan now. We know we are!

Morgan grew up in western North Carolina surrounded by music, with his roots firmly planted in bluegrass. “I grew up playing bluegrass and that’s how I learned how to play guitar and learned how to sing, and do all that,” began the singer. “I started doing that when I was ten years old, and we would travel around and play bluegrass festivals all over the country.”

At eighteen years old, the entertainer quit the bluegrass circuit in favor of working outside of music, while simultaneously focusing on growing his songwriting skills. “I started writing my own songs […] It was kind of an easy transition for me to switch over to country music.” Morgan likens the trajectory of his switch from bluegrass to country music to one of his favorite artists, Keith Whitley. “Keith Whitley is one of my biggest influences even to this day.”

“I love my hometown where I grew up. I’ve never really envisioned myself leaving there, which is why when I quit playing bluegrass there, for two years, I didn’t do anything, I was focused on my job at the time. At that moment, I didn’t think that I would pursue music full-time.” Eventually, through trips to Nashville, Morgan caught the bug again.

“When I started making trips down here to Nashville, I really learned how much I loved songwriting and so that’s kind of where I cut my teeth and was digging into that aspect of music really trying to better myself as a songwriter first. I knew I could hold my own on guitar and sing good enough at the time, but I was just missing that triple threat.”

The Turning Point:

Just a few years ago, Morgan made the decision to move to Nashville to pursue songwriting and his dream full-time. “I moved to Nashville a little over three years ago now […] I got in with Jason Aldean’s camp through an Uber driver, which is a weird crazy story. I started writing songs with those guys and that’s kind of where I’m at currently.”

While Morgan feels fortunate to have had cuts on Aldean’s latest album, eight in fact, including the number one hits – “Trouble with a Heartbreak” and “If I Didn’t Love You” ft. Carrie Underwood, Morgan believes that his work ethic has helped him throughout his journey thus far. “When I finally moved to Nashville, and got to town and realized there were a million other people trying to do the same thing I’m doing, it makes you kind of level up.” Adding later, “Songwriting gave me enough confidence to drop everything that I was doing to pursue it full-time.”

Morgan continued to grind, getting into as many writers’ rooms as he could. “Even as an unsigned writer, I was writing with people who were also writing with people who have written hit songs and at least knew the layout of this is what a hit song requires formula-wise.”

Despite his early success as a songwriter, Morgan yearned to be an artist in his own right. His friend and fellow producer Will Bundy encouraged him to hone his skills as a songwriter and as a producer while working towards his dream.

“He just encouraged me and was like “dude I know you want to be an artist, I know you want to write songs, but this is working for me, and I feel like you have a good enough ear to do this too, at least get an ear with a publishing company”,” adding later, “I shadowed him for a couple of weeks to learn how to build a simple demo for a song after you write it. That in itself allowed me to get into bigger rooms.”

Today:

Flash forward to today, Morgan is a signed artist with new music coming down the pipeline early next year. Already, the singer’s newest song, “Friends Like That” is making waves amongst country music fans and the industry. According to the singer, “‘Friends Like That’ was a song we wrote almost a year ago, it was one of those songs that was such a feel-good song. Will Bundy produced the demo for it. All of the elements came together for this song.”

While Morgan is attracted to and loves to write more sentimental songs, “Friends Like That” showcases a side of his artistry that fans get to see and hear for the first time. “It was just a cool idea from the beginning and we just kind of ran with it. It was really a song that I needed for me as an artist. I tend to write more nostalgic, more serious heartbreak songs I guess, and this was more of a feel-good, fun, I’m getting over you the way you want to kind of song. […] It kind of gives you a different side of who I am as an artist too.”

As a songwriter, Morgan will continue to pull from his own experiences, while relying on his supportive team in the process. Next year is already shaping up to be the year of John Morgan – new songs are currently being recorded and at least one new single is sure to come out in January. Make sure you pay attention and keep Morgan on your radar!

“‘Cause love’s a smoke ring // Wrapped around your finger // One second it’s a blessing // And the next it’s already gone // A broken heart, I’m a walking testimony // My confession is a lesson // That I’m pouring out in this song // Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa // You don’t wanna fall in love // Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa // You don’t wanna fall in love”

Morgan Wallen by David Lehr

After having a monumental year touring and sharing new music with fans, Morgan Wallen is showing no signs of slowing down. Earlier today, the superstar announced his first ever world tour. Now, he is sharing three brand new songs with fans, calling it a sampler for what is to come with album number three.

Wallen’s new songs are “One Thing At A Time,” “Days That End in Why,” and a previously unreleased fan-favorite, “Tennessee Fan.” All three songs gives fans a little taste of Wallen’s artistry and of course, what is in store in the next chapter of new music.

According to the singer-songwriter, “I’ve had so many people ask me if I want to take some time off, but the truth is – I have been writing and making too much music in my off-time because I feel as inspired as I ever have. It feels like new songs re pouring out of me, and I love that feeling. We are going to run it back next year with the One Night At A Time World Tour.”

“One Thing At A Time” is a mid-tempo song all about trying your best to get over someone, while “Days That End in Why” is a pensive song that touches on Wallen’s more tender side. Then, “Tennessee Fan” is a song that feels nostalgic and reminiscent of young love. The three songs are the perfect additions to Wallen’s already impressive catalog of music.

Who Is Madeline Edwards? The Story Behind Her Journey to Country Music

/in , , /by

Who is Madeline Edwards? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about her journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…

Quick Facts:

Full Name – Madeline Edwards
Hometown – California
Current City – Nashville, TennesseeMusical Influences – Ella Fitzgerald, Michael Jackson, Shania Twain, and Keith Urban
Label – Warner Music Nashville
Current Project- Crashlanded (*as of date of article: 11/28/22)

The Beginning:

We are excited to introduce you to a singer-songwriter that we are loving lately. Newly signed recording artist, Madeline Edwards might not be on your radar yet, but she should be. Learn more about her story and her new music below.

“I was born in California and I moved to Texas as I was entering high school, so that’s kind of how the west-coast jazz and the southern influences have been combined,” Edwards began. For the songstress, singing and writing was a lifelong dream. “I really wanted to be a singer and a songwriter since I was a kid” adding later, “The thing that I wanted to be when I was four years old is exactly what I ended up doing with my life.”

According to Edwards, she was writing for just as long as she was singing. “I wrote my first song when I was five or six, and then when I was ten, I wrote another song, that was actually a jazzy song called “All I Need,” and it was actually pretty decent for a ten-year-old.”

She credits her musical family and the breadth of music available to her for her wide variety of musical influences. Edwards enjoys artists like Ella Fitzgerald, Michael Jackson, Shania Twain, and Keith Urban to name a few. “I love people who are kind of on the fringe of what popular music is, but they found their way into the popular music scene.”

The Turning Point:

At just fourteen years old, Edwards began playing music for a living. “I started working in piano bars when I was fourteen because I was helping my parents with bills,” she shared. “It ended up being one of the best things I have ever, done because up until I moved to Nashville, I was singing four for five hours a night in bars, five or six nights a week.”

Later, Edwards also credits her mother for helping her see the perspective that she getting to practice, while also getting paid. “I put in well over 10-20,000 hours, just singing every song, and every genre; I would sing everything from Lady Gaga to Blake Shelton to Nat King Cole. […] I was just stretching my voice and it became better, and better, and better.”

With several years of experience under her belt, the singer-songwriter and her husband found themselves moving to Nashville. “Nashville ended up being where we decided to take the leap.” For Edwards, putting in the work prior to moving to Nashville allowed her to meet the right people, create, and had the confidence to do so while in the buzzing country music scene.

“If you don’t come ready to work and with the 10k hours already put in, it doesn’t really help you if you put yourself in front of the right people,” she explained. “My advice is to play as often as you, anywhere you can, and as much as you can.”

Although she has only been in Nashville for just under two years, Edwards was ready to take the country music world by storm. She landed her record deal shortly after moving, proving that persistence, hard work, and 10,000+ hours pays off.

Today:

Now, as a signed recording artist, Edwards recently got to put out her debut album, Crashlanded. “I always knew I wanted to combine those sounds [jazz and country], I just didn’t know how to do it. It’s kind of taken me almost a lifetime to come to the sound that I’ve accomplished with the music I’m writing today and with the record, ‘Crashlanded.’”

The twelve-song project is a cool, pop-jazz-country record, featuring songs for everyone. “It was quite a process picking the songs for a record and even picking the order for the record. […] I wanted it to sonically sound really good,” shared the singer.

Songs like the title track, “Crashlanded” will have you rooting for Edwards from the get-go! Other songs like, “Why I’m Calling” and “Too Much Of A Good Thing” give you a new perspective on the songstress and her undeniable talent. According to Edwards, the record is both personal and relatable.

“It’s just kind of this full life cycle on the record of this is my story. I wanted it to be really relatable to the listener too,” adding, “At the end of the day, it’s still my story and every song is very telling of what that story is.”

Edwards is primed for success. Fans can catch her on the festival circuit next year, and we are sure that there is much more to come!
