JORDAN DAVIS CRUSHES THE COMPETITION ON THE ROAD.
Jordan Davis keeps in shape on the road by playing basketball, pickleball and golfing, but don’t think he’s a pushover and will let you win at any sport he is playing. He’s a pretty competitive fella.
“When it comes to – don’t get it twisted – we are playing pickleball half for exercise, because nobody wants to go do cardio, so you might as well play something while you’re getting cardio in,” says Jordan. “The other half is I am trying to absolutely crush every other person on the other side of that net. I, I am. I am competitive. I like to win. I don’t like to lose, and it boils over sometimes. We have to have some sitdowns in the greenroom and be like, ‘Hey-I didn’t really mean that.’ It boils over on the golf course. If I’m gonna do something, I want to win at it. It’s pretty competitive out there (laughs), so yes (I’m competitive).”
The Louisiana native is closing in at the top of the country charts with his latest hit, “Tucson Too Late,” and he takes his Damn Good Time World Tour to Charlotte and Wilmington, North Carolina, as well as Jacksonville, Florida this weekend.
Audio / Jordan Davis says he gets pretty competitive when he's playing sports -- like pickleball and golf -- when he's out on the road.

PARKER McCOLLUM RELEASES MUSIC VIDEO IN TRIBUTE TO HIS MOTHER.
Parker McCollum has released a performance music video for the song “Things I Never Told You,” from his sold-out headlining show at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas. In the clip, photos of his mother are interspersed between live shots from the arena.
He chose “Things I Never Told You” to put on his Never Enough album because it completely reminded him of his mother.
“My buddy Taylor Phillips sent this song to me one day. He wrote it with Lynn Hutton and Monty Criswell and just one time through…I didn’t even listen to the whole song, but halfway through after the first chorus, I said, ‘I’m in. I’m singing that song,” recalls Parker. “It reminded me so much of my mom and I knew she would love to hear it. I didn’t tell her anything about it. I had her come to one of tour rehearsals this year and played it for her there, full band with the whole production and everything and the empty amphitheater. It was kind of cool. But I cut that just for her and thought it was such an amazing song. There’s a line in it that said, ‘I kept a well-hidden can of Skoal in the console of my Chevy.’ I actually really did in high school. I had a secret compartment in the center console of my Chevy truck that I kept a can of dip in. So just it kind of hit home and it’s just a great song.”
The Texas native will take his Burn It Down Tour to Salina, Kansas on Thursday (May 2nd), Rogers, Arkansas on Friday (May 3rd) and Columbia, Missouri on Saturday (May 4th).

“This song, it’s the only song on the record I didn’t write. I wanted to cut one outside song for this record. People send me songs all the time and very, very, very rarely does one ever really catch my attention and stand out, and my buddy Taylor Phillips sent this song to me one day. He wrote it with Lynn Hutton and Monty Criswell and just one time through…I didn’t even listen to the whole song, but halfway through after the first chorus, I said, ‘I’m in. I’m singing that song.’ It reminded me so much of my mom and I knew she would love to hear it. I didn’t tell her anything about it.

Kylie Morgan will release her debut album, Making It Up As I Go, on Friday, October 13th.
She previously said in describing the collection, “This album is for the in-betweeners. The ones who pretend to have it all figured out but are still finding out where they want to go, who they want to be, and how to get there. Whether you’re a child who’s supposed to feel like a teenager, a teenager who’s supposed to feel like a grown up or a grown up that still feels like a child. We’re all just doing our best and I hope this is the soundtrack to your journey. Cause if we’re all being honest… we’re just makin’ it up as we go.”
“I hope my fans take away a lot of things from this album,” says Kylie. “Continuing to release very honest and real songs, I feel like has made me find the group of fans that have, that I just felt so close to, and that’s what I’m continuing to do on this. It’s from perspectives that they haven’t heard. It’s about subject matters that I have talked about, but also from new perspectives AND about subject matters that I even haven’t addressed yet because I just now lived it in my life. So I hope they take away nothing but honesty, transparency, and I hope that they can find a piece of this album that relates to the chapter of the life that they’re in right now.”
Kylie’s debut album follows the success of her bold breakout track “If He Wanted To He Would,” which is included on the project, along with recent releases “A Few Hearts Ago” and “Sugar Daddy.” The 12-song track list features two self-penned songs, plus co-writes alongside Music Row’s most promising songwriters. Kylie’s signature vulnerable storytelling combines with empowering anthems, for a refreshing relatability that meets fans right where they are, in any stage of life.
