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

ABC celebrated CMA Fest 2022 in a remarkable television special, recapping the events from earlier this summer. Check it out below.

After a long, but necessary two-year hiatus, CMA Fest returned to Nashville, taking place from June 9 to June 12 with the biggest acts in the genre performing at Nissan Stadium over the four-night event. The three-hour television special aired on ABC last night (August 3), targeting the country fans who could not attend in-person or who wanted to relive the music-filled weekend. The dynamic duo of Dierks Bentley and Elle King hosted the action-packed program.
The “KB”s, Kane Brown and Kelsea Ballerini, opened the show, performing their current, upbeat singles “Like I Love Country Music” and “Heartfirst,” respectively. Both songs are currently in the top 40 on country radio. Brown and Ballerini both performed later as well, singing “One Mississippi” and “Half of My Hometown.” Thomas Rhett was next, singing his latest number one hit, “Slow Down Summer.”
After several newer songs, it was time to flashback to 2013; Darius Rucker performed his classic country hit, “Wagon Wheel.” Rucker stopped singing to allow the 65,000+ fans to shout the final chorus. Bentley was next, and performed his biggest hit to date, “Drunk on a Plane.” Bentley brought Billy Ray Cyrus on stage to sing Cyrus’ crossover hit, “Achy Breaky Heart” on the 30th anniversary of its release.
Cole Swindell was next to take the stage—he sang his nostalgic tune, “She Had Me At Heads Carolina.” After, Lainey Wilson made her debut on the CMA stage to sing her and Swindell’s number-one collaboration “Never Say Never.” Swindell’s good friend, Luke Bryan was up next. He kicked off his set with his hip-hop blended-bluegrass hit, “Kick The Dust Up.” The other Luke, reigning CMA-Entertainer of the Year, Luke Combs followed with a performance of his current top-10 single “The Kind of Love We Make.” He concluded his set with the energetic, “Beer Never Broke My Heart” which really got the crowd fired up.
The show’s mood changed when Carly Pearce expressed her sorrow in the death of her childhood icon, Naomi Judd. To honor her legacy, she brought out her daughter and bandmate, Wynonna Judd to sing their 1984 hit, “Why Not Me.” Judd told the band to lower the music so she could hear the crowd sing the “La la la” part of the bridge.
Bentley took the stage again to introduce his co-host, Elle King, who gave an animated performance of her collaboration with Miranda Lambert, “Drunk and I Don’t Want To Go Home.” After, Ashley McBryde joined her to sing King’s 2015 number one pop hit, “Ex’s and Oh’s.” After the commercial break, Jason Aldean sang “Trouble With A Heartbreak” and Old Dominion performed their uplifting, top-20 single, “No Hard Feelings.” Lead singer, Matthew Ramsey broke up his little xylophone during the final chorus, an instrument you rarely see on the country stage.
Zac Brown Band performed their boot-stomping single, “Out In The Middle” right before Rucker took the stage again to sing what is undoubtedly one of the most popular country songs of all-time, “Chicken Fried” with the GRAMMY-winning group. Later Carrie Underwood took the stage to sing her 2012 hit, “Good Girl” and her current single, “Ghost Story.” From two of the most-established acts in the industry to one of the newest, Parker McCollum made his debut on the CMA Fest stage, performing “To Be Loved By You.” Russell Dickerson also made his CMA Fest debut this year—he performed “Love You Like I Used To” later in the show.
Brothers Osborne brought skeletons on stage for their performance of the song of the same name. John Osborne always provides a little bit of flare to the live show, adding an electric guitar solo at the end of the song. Lady A brought the good vibes with their new tune “Summer State of Mind” before performing the song that started it all for the trio, “Need You Now” with special guest, Breland. Before the final chorus, the band stopped playing to let the audience harmonize the lyrics.
Dustin Lynch and MacKenzie Porter performed their number one collaboration “Thinking ‘Bout You” on a stage in the middle of the audience. After Aldean gave a fiery performance of “She’s Country,” Rhett closed the show performing a medley of past hits such as “Get Me Some of That,” “It Goes Like This,” and “Vacation,” concluding three hours of high energy country music performances that will definitely make you want to attend the festival in-person in 2023.

Here are all of Cole Swindell’s number one songs on country radio in his music catalog. The singer-songwriter has twelve number ones to his name.
We love reminiscing about all the great country music to hit country radio over the last few years. In our brand new series, we’re looking back on the songs that made it to the top of the country airplay charts. Today, we’re highlighting songs in Cole Swindell’s career that hit the number one spot.
“Chillin’ It”- Cole Swindell
Making his artist debut in 2014, “Chillin’ It” was the first single off of Swindell’s first album. Before the singer-songwriter was even signed to a label, he sold 100,000 copies of this track by word of mouth and social media. It’s not only a special track but also timeless. “Chillin’ It” is perfect song to play during the summer as you’re driving with your windows down.
“Hope You Get Lonely Tonight” – Cole Swindell
The Georgia native certainly started off his singing career strong with another number one off of his debut album. This track is relatable as it tells the story of feeling pain from a breakup but normalizing that it’s ok to miss the other person and wanting to reconcile, even if it’s for one night.
“Ain’t Worth the Whiskey”- Cole Swindell
A true staple in Swindell’s catalog. Written by Swindell, Adam Sanders, and Josh Martin, this shows the talents of the award-winning artist’s storytelling. It’s not only a song about getting over a breakup but also a song to honor the men and women serving our country. Every time Swindell plays this song live, he takes a moment to thank not only the service men and women in our military but also first responders. It’s a special moment that you should experience if you haven’t already!
“Let Me See Ya Girl”– Cole Swindell
With his fourth consecutive number one from his debut album, Swindell was the first and only solo male artist in the history of the Mediabase chart to have his first four singles hit number one. Staying with his chill vibe, this is another song that always has the crowd up on their feet with their arms swinging.
“You Should Be Here” – You Should Be Here
“You Should Be Here” was the first single off of Swindell’s sophomore album. It’s one of the first times we got a look into the artist’s personal life. An emotional song about losing his father, this song is relatable for anyone who has ever lost a loved one.
“Middle of a Memory” – You Should Be Here
The great storytelling continued with Swindell’s sixth number one. Written by Swindell, Zach Crowell, and Ashley Gorley, it’s a track that tells a relatable story of meeting someone on the dance floor but then being interrupted and never being reunited. It questions the love that could have been.
“Flatliner” (Featuring Dierks Bentley) – You Should Be Here
Swindell wrote this song with Dierks Bentley in mind. Bentley is a mentor of Swindell’s, and it was a dream come true when the superstar agreed to collaborate! The hit song led to the 2015 ACM New Artist of the year breaking his own record of being the only solo artist in the history of Country Aircheck\Mediabase to top the chart with their first seven singles.
“Love You Too Late”- All of It
A song that shares the message of don’t wait to say I love you or it might be too late was the second single off of Swindell’s third studio album. This wasn’t the first time that Swindell, Brandon Kinney, and Michael Carter wrote a song together but it was their first number one.
“Single Saturday Night” – Stereotype
“Single Saturday Night” was lucky number ten. Written for his new album Stereotype, this track is a fun twist on finding your person.With a shoutout to the popular hard seltzer, White Claw, it makes you think when will your last single Saturday night be?
“Never Say Never” (with Lainey Wilson) – Stereotype
Swindell’s latest number one song doubles as his first-ever duet, “Never Say Never” with Lainey Wilson. The love song lands Swindell his 11th number one hit.
“She Had Me At Heads Carolina” – Stereotype
Swindell’s twelfth number one single, “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” was a standout from his latest record. After just one listen, “She Had Me At Heads Carolina,” will get stuck in your head. The song is a fun riff on the classic country song, “Heads Carolina, Tails California.” Swindell shines on this song, as he shares the fun meet-cute story through the verses.
We’re certain Swindell will add to this list for a long time coming as he continues to put out hit after hit. Nonetheless, this impressive list is just the artist’s number ones as a singer. He also has quite a few as a songwriter. So it’s no secret that he’s quite talented and we can’t wait to watch his career continue to thrive!

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!

Who is Logan Crosby? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about his journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…
Logan Crosby // Credit: Jake Powers
Quick Facts:
Full Name – Logan Crosby
Hometown – Milledgeville, Georgia
Musical Influences – Chris Stapleton, George Strait, The Allman Brothers Band,
The Beginning:
One of our favorite things about Country Swag is our ability to champion new artists before they officially take off. We believe that will be the case for today’s spotlight artist, Logan Crosby. If that name sounds familiar to you already, you may recognize the singer-songwriter from his impressive TikTok or from the new show ‘Claim to Fame.’ However, you are going to remember him for his undeniable talent and charm.
Crosby grew up in a small town in Georgia. His upbringing allowed him access to explore all of the musical genres that were at his fingertips as a kid. “Growing up in Georgia, there are so many different musical influences. Otis Redding was born right down the road from me. You got the Allman Brothers, you got Little Richard and then you have Luke Bryan, Sugarland, and so on. Then you have Atlanta, which is one of the biggest hubs of rap music. Of course, it’s the south, so there’s also a lot of gospel music,” shared the artist.
He recalls constantly shuffling through different music throughout his childhood, including artists like Aretha Franklin and even Chris Stapleton. Crosby shares that he learned to sing in the choir at church, but it was not until he turned seventeen that he finally learned how to play guitar and piano.
“Growing up, I always kind of had it in my head that I wanted to do music, that I wanted to be in the entertainment business.” Despite that knowledge, Crosby did not know exactly how he was going to achieve those dreams. Instead, he attended college at The University of Georgia in Athens.
The Turning Point:
While attending university, Crosby learned the power of his talent and the power of social media. His skills as an artist were not just a “party trick.” The singer created a TikTok page and luckily had a video go viral. Ironically, the song was just a funny video and not music-oriented.
“It wasn’t a music TikTok, but somebody saw that I did music and they were like ‘can you cover this song?’ and then someone else was like, “can you cover this song?,”‘ shared the singer. By summer 2021, Crosby accumulated almost 30K followers on the app alone. This led him to start playing shows and taking music a bit more seriously.
“I started putting out some of my own music on TikTok, I called it original music Fridays and people loved it. […] And I was like, let’s give it a shot, let’s see what happens.”
Today:
Now, Crosby has accumulated almost 90K followers and 2.5 million likes on TikTok. The singer also released his first ever song thanks to his fans. “If Jesus Was A Cowboy” officially dropped on July 15th. “I was looking for something with this first song a little bit different, and so it’s not your typical full band, everybody’s jammed out kind of stuff.”
According to Crosby, “I wrote [the song] after watching an episode of ‘1883.’ It took me 25 minutes to write the song, but I kind of went in, and I was like this is how I feel. And I think putting out music that is relatable to people is what people want to hear.”
Crosby yearns to continue to create and release music that people can relate to. He truly believes in the art of storytelling. “I love writing music. It’s my favorite thing to do,” shared the singer, adding, “That’s kind of the simple, country music, where you’re putting the emotion and the raw-feel back into it is who I am, that’s who I have always been.”

The Story Behind His Journey to Country Music
Jake Owen’s song “Best Thing Since Backroads” officially hit the number one spot on the country radio charts. Learn more here!
Jake Owen scores his tenth number one song with his current radio single, “Best Thing Since Backroads.” The monumental feat follows the consecutive hit songs, “Homemade” and “Made for You.” Owen continues to hone in on his country-beach loving sound, which is clearly resonating with his fans across the genre.
Almost a year ago to the date, the singer dropped his new number one song, “Best Thing Since Backroads.” The track is a joyous one. “Best Thing Since Backroads” compares a romance to the euphoric nature of a backroad. It was made for live performances, and it is the perfect song to jam out to on long car rides.
“You’re the best thing since back roads, baby // Pedal to the medal with the windows down // Sunshine setting on a cross that saves me // Hanging from a rearview in red dirt clouds // Two-lane heaven’s one hell of a view // But it ain’t got nothing on you”
Fans can rejoice in this new wave of music for the hitmaker. Congrats to Owen and his team on another number one at country radio!
