There’s talk, and then there’s action. Zach Bryan has made a lot of noise about how he’s tired of seeing his hard-working fans get filched by the ticketing monopoly that is TicketBastard, and promised a few weeks ago that he would actively work to buck the system.

American folk and rock music legend David Crosby has died at the age of 81.

George & Tammy turned out pretty spectacular generally speaking, with some very serious caveats that for some viewers ultimately turned out to be fatal to their viewership. There is a reason that almost every single professional review of this series was glowing in its praise, but some fans balked.

It is Willie Nelson who has defined the best of country music for decades of fans, but it was songwriter Harlan Howard who best defined what country music is when he called it succinctly “Three chords and the truth.” Though that might be the Country Music Hall of Famer’s most quoted line…

Is Eric Church Really “Anti-Gun”?

159 Comments
Eric Church

There is no better example of just how damaging a mischaracterizing article can be to an artist than the “Rolling Stone” cover story that came out about Eric Church in the summer of 2018. And in this instance, it came in the form of a puff piece feature, not some attempted take down of Church.

Luke DoucetĀ andĀ Melissa McClelland from Hamilton, Canada have been taking their combined love and acumen for country music, and applying it to albums that are decidedly not predominantly country.

When enumerating the greatest country songs of all time, it’s without a doubt that “Amarillo By Morning” must be near the top.

dierks-bentley

20 years in the business now, Dierks Bentley should be at the point where he can call his own shots. And seeing him paling around with Charlie Worsham lately, and hanging out in the rain to watch Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway play their set at Telluride last summer are all good signs.

Album Review – Myron Elkins – “Factories, Farms & Amphetamines”

44 Comments
myron-elkins

Don’t let the baby face of Myron Elkins fool you. You pipe up Factories, Farms & Amphetamines, and it’s like you’re immediately ferried off to some faraway, ramshackle roadhouse set in 1970s sepia, with some 70-year-old cat in polyester butterfly collars crooning out stories of blood and bruises.
