I love saying I told you so! :) Posty and Morgan Wallen will have everyone singing I Had Some Help through the summer, though there are some heavy hitters slated to release new music like the much anticipated Death of Slim Shady album.

It is also his first number one as lead vocal. The song is infectuous as all heck, and I catch myself singing it throughout the day. Yes, songs about messy breakups resonate. We've all ..read more

One of the top added songs this past week comes from Traditional Country music hero Randy Travis. A feat, he and everyone thought would never happen, but thanks to artificial intelligence, we have been blessed once again with Randy’s signature voice. The way it was done is groundbreaking as Randy’s recorded voice spanning four decades was used and processed using artificial intelligence. We’ve come a long way, baby.. Back in 2021, I wrote an article on the future of country music and artificial intelligence’s potential role. The results of AI generated country music back then were disastro ..read more

With the news of Country Hip Hop pioneer Colt Ford still in the intensive care unit at the Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa, Arizona, we wanted to take a closer look at the successful collabs between Country music and Hip Hop artists throughout the years.. This is definitely not the George Jones styled country music that I grew up with, and love lol.. To be fair, there will probably never be another George Jones, who was hands down the greatest country singer of all time. But like many from Zoomers to Late boomers, it was nearly impossible to not vibe with Hip Hop growing up too. It came ..read more

To say that many of us were shocked when the legendary Toby Keith passed away is an understatement. After breaking the news in 2022 concerning the stomach cancer diagnosis, he had also shared that he’d undergone chemotherapy, surgery and immunology. Surely, if anyone could come out winning it would be Toby. He was a former semi pro football player, and roughneck that worked the make or break oilfields at the ripe old age of 18! Speechless was a phrase I kept seeing over and over because when we lost Toby on February 5th, 2024, we truly lost a legend. He was 62. We were very happy to see the r ..read more

Cooking and baking are ranked as two of the overall top hobbies of all time, and it's easy to see why. Making something delicious from scratch, and sharing it with your loved ones, and seeing their faces light up with joy when they take their first bite, and the next, and the next. That is the reward for us foodies.  However, much is assumed here, such as having a similar food palette. For example, I love game meat, and seafood, but you might prefer pasta or bugs.. Yes bugs as you will find out shortly is a “delicacy” one of my favorite actresses enjoys. I was truly surprised when this ma ..read more
