  • KIP MOORE LOOKING TO HELP HIS BELOVED HAWAII IN THE WAKE OF THE DEVASTATING FIRES STILL BURNING ACROSS THE ISLAND OF MAUI.

    Kip Moore

    A devastated Kip Moore posted a video on his socials on Thursday (August 10th) to reveal he’s working on a benefit to help those ravaged and destroyed by the horrific fire that has engulfed the Hawaiian island of Maui. According to news reports, the fire, which was fueled by a dry summer and strong winds from a passing hurricane, has claimed the lives of at least 36 people so far. *UPDATED: at least 55 killed and more than 1,000 structures damaged or destroyed.

    “Anyone that’s followed this page for any length of time knows that it’s not just a place that I go, it’s home, and I’ve developed some of the strongest friendships that I have in my life there; the kind of people that would truly do anything for you, if you asked ’em. So, I guess I’m making this (video) to say to anyone that’s watching from Maui that’s seeing this video, there’s a lot of people talking about you, there’s a lot of people that want to help, that are going to help, and I know it’s a long, long, it’s going to be a long road back to rebuilding, but there’s people that want to jump on board and help that process. And I’ve already been on the phone with different artist friends of mine, agents, managers trying to figure out how quickly we can get over there and do a show to raise funds to help that process, get it moving. Already talking to different construction companies that might want to team up and help this process. So, yeah,  just wanted to say there are so many people on the mainland thinking about you guys and we want to help.”

     

    For fans and friends who want to donate, Kip included a link to the One Heartbeat Hawaii Fund, which is a charitable endeavor established by the singer-songwriter last year to help nourish the needs of underserved native Maui residents. A percentage of tickets sold from his “Fire On Wheels Tour” last year went to the fund.

  • JORDAN DAVIS RELEASES HIS NEW SINGLE, “TUCSON TOO LATE.”

    Jordan Davis

    Jordan Davis has released his new single, “Tucson Too Late,” the follow-up to his multi-week No. 1 smash, “Next Thing You Know.” Jordan co-wrote the song with his brother Jacob Davis and brothers Josh and Matt Jenkins, the same dream team behind “Buy Dirt.”

    “I remember talking about (Keith Whitley’s) ‘Miami, My Amy,’ you know how that song just grabs you, and as you can tell, out of that conversation came ‘Tuscon Too Late,'” he recalls. “I really like the way we kept this very simple, we let the lyrics speak, we tried to really just kinda make the listener feel the kinda worry that this guy was going through trying to get this girl back, and I think Paul (DiGiovanni) absolutely nailed the production on it in letting the vocals speak and letting the lyrics shine. And I think too, like it’s something that I’ve never done. I don’t think I’ve ever released a song that is as maybe traditional as this one. You know, stuff like this is what I grew up on. Being able to have a song like this out that has this kinda feel, I don’t know, for me it’s fun. I’m pretty fired up about ‘Tucson Too Late.’”

    Jordan is set to release the official music video for “Tucson Too Late” at 1pm ET/Noon CT on Thursday (August 10th).

    The Louisiana native will perform his new single when he performs in Boise, Idaho tonight (August 10th), in Salt Lake City on Friday (August 11th) and in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Saturday (August 12th) on Dierks Bentley’s Gravel & Gold Tour.

    Jordan is set to kick off his own headlining Damn Good Time Tour August 31st in Atlanta, Georgia.

    “So, ‘Tucson Too Late,’ another song I wrote with Jacob, Matt, and Josh, the ‘Buy Dirt’ squad. I write more with them more than I write with anybody. I think it’s cool for us, every time we get together it like, what can we do, what have we not done, what is something that we can try to write today that’ll challenge us that’s different? And I remember talking about (Keith Whitley’s) ‘Miami, My Amy,’ you know how that song just grabs you, and as you can tell, out of that conversation came ‘Tuscon Too Late.’ I really like the way we kept this very simple, we let the lyrics speak, we tried to really just kinda make the listener feel the kinda worry that this guy was going through trying to get this girl back, and I think Paul absolutely nailed the production on it in letting the vocals speak and letting the lyrics shine.

  • LUKE BRYAN CELEBRATES THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS MULTI-PLATINUM ALBUM, CRASH MY PARTY.

    Audio
    Luke Bryan

    Luke Bryan is celebrating the tenth anniversary of the release of his multi-platinum album, Crash My Party. The 4-times platinum album produced six No. 1 singles, including the title track, “That’s My Kind of Night,” “Roller Coaster,” “I See You,” “Drink A Beer” and “Play It Again.”

     

     

    Luke is closing in on the Top 10 on the country charts with his latest smash, “But I Got A Beer In My Hand.”

     

    Audio / Back in 2013, Luke Bryan describes his album, Crash My Party.

    Download

    Luke Bryan (Crash My Party Album) OC: …on there. :38
    “The album – it has your party songs, it has your songs that are about life, and they’re about rural life. It’s got love songs, I’ve never done this kind of love song on it, that I’m really, really excited about. I mean, we’ve got songs for the guys, songs for the girls, songs you can go riding dirt roads in, songs you can cry to and songs, I think I’ve got a song on there that could really, really change people’s lives and really help them heal through a tough time. So, I’ve never been more excited about an upcoming album, and I think this has something for everybody on there.”

    Audio / In 2013 prior to the release of his Crash My Party album, Luke Bryan explained what would make the album a success to him.

    Download

    Luke Bryan (what would make CMP a success) OC: …widely accepted. :58
    “In my opinion what would define the success of this album is obviously to…gosh, I don’t know.  To sell three or four million albums certainly.  But my main thing is to continue to move the needle on the fans knowing that I’m upping my game constantly and coming with better songs and singing better than ever and fueling the live show in whatever is going to, the ability to grow into bigger and bigger and bigger venues constantly for as many years as I can.  And making sure this album continues that upper climb of upward movement to being an even more elite entertainer on a global scale to where my music is me, to where I didn’t change my music to make it global.  I make kind of a more of an audience come to what I’m saying and selling.  And if I can do that on this album it’s a success. So just telling my story and making my story that which is something that is widely accepted.”

    Audio / In 2013, Luke Bryan talked about one of his favorite songs on the album, “Drink a Beer.”

    Download

    Luke Bryan (Drink a Beer) OC: …the album. :50
    “‘Drink a Beer’ is the best way I can describe it is — it’s the coolest sad song I’ve ever heard.  It’s the saddest sad song you’ve ever heard but it’s like it could be played at any really environment and you’re not going to tank the mood. You’re just going to make people reflect and the perfect way you’re going to make them revert back to somebody that they lost, whether it’s their granddad that they used to sit on a boat and drink a beer with. It’s whoever in your life that you’ve lost that you would have shared a beer with, and I think it’s just a perfectly written sad song, and it’s one of those that I’m honored that it found its way to me and I’m honored that it can be on the album.”

    Audio / Luke Bryan talks about singer/songwriter Chris Stapleton who wrote “Drink a Beer,” and also sings background vocals on the song.

    Download

    Luke Bryan (Stapleton on Drink a Beer) OC: …piece of work. :36
    “Having Chris Stapleton sing background on it that’s like heaven. That’s like me being in a foot race with Usain Bolt [sprinter and 6-time Olympic gold medalist] or something.  Having Chris Stapleton sing, he’s the best singer on the planet to me. So, for him to come in and lend his backgrounds on it takes this song even yet to a higher level with just how powerful he is as a singer and an artist, and he wrote the song also with Jim Beavers. I’m honored to say I’m starting to do some pieces of works. It feels like a true piece of work.”

  • CARRIE UNDERWOOD IS “JUST A COUNTRY GIRL LIVING OUT SOME ROCKSTAR DREAMS.”

    Audio
    Carrie Underwood

    On Saturday (August 5th), Carrie Underwood lived out her rockstar dreams by opening for Guns N’Roses. in Moncton, New Brunswick.

    After the show, she posted numerous images of her onstage and backstage, and she seemed to have the time of her life! She wrote, “Just a country girl living out some rockstar dreams….I want to say a HUGE thanks to @gunsnroses for having us out on tour, as well as their amazing fans! I was super nervous playing for another band’s crowd (of a completely different genre, no less), but you all made us feel so welcome!”

    Underwood’s eclectic set, backed by her stellar 8-piece band, included unique mash-ups and covers by some of Underwood’s longtime rock inspirations such as Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, and Heart, while also covering other crowd-pleasing favorites by Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and Motörhead. The enthusiastic crowd also sang along to Underwood’s smash hits, as well as newer tracks from her most recent album, Denim & Rhinestones.

    During Guns N’ Roses headlining set, Underwood joined the iconic rock legends for their classic hit “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” and was invited back again to the stage for the night’s final number, the anthemic “Paradise City.”

    She told us prior to her first show with GNR, “I think the things I look forward to most are obviously, like watching their show (laughs) and being around them, but it’s just such a fun vibe. Their fans are absolutely incredible and so supportive and just have been so much fun everything that I’ve seen from them. But also looking forward to just doing some things in our set list that I might not get the chance to do any other time. I wanted to be me, but I also wanted to bridge the gap between me and Guns N’ Roses a little bit, so we’re just having a blast with it. I’m doing some cover songs of some rock stuff that I love. I’m mashing up some of my songs with some other songs. We just look at it as an opportunity to be creative and get to do something we’ve never done before; just have a good time with it.”

    She will join Axl and the guys again on Tuesday (August 8th) in Montreal, Quebec, as well as a show on August 26th in Nashville at GEODIS Park.

    Carrie, who is making her way up the country charts with “Out Of That Truck,” will release the deluxe version of her 2022 album, Denim & Rhinestones, on September 22nd. The collection features six new songs, including her latest single.

  • VINCE GILL & PAUL FRANKLIN’S SWEET MEMORIES: THE MUSIC OF RAY PRICE & THE CHEROKEE COWBOYS.

    Audio
    Vince Gill

    “With this record, Vince Gill and Paul Franklin have taken their admiration for Ray Price to the next level, with one of the finest true-country tributes of all time,” states country music icon Bill Anderson in the liner notes for Sweet Memories: The Music of Ray Price & The Cherokee Cowboys.

    Now, 10 years after the release of Bakersfield, their ringing homage to the music created by Buck Owens and Merle Haggard and their bands, Gill and steel guitar wizard Franklin are back in the re-discovery lane with Sweet Memories: The Music of Ray Price & The Cherokee Cowboys, now available everywhere.

    LISTEN TO Sweet Memories: The Music of Ray Price & The Cherokee Cowboys | HERE

    “It’s a kind of magic when (Vince) Gill and (Paul) Franklin apply their talents to the great American country music songbook,” states Cowboys & Indians. “Paul and I are in no way trying to say we can make these records better than the original,” Gill stresses. “I don’t think any of these songs sound comparable to the original. Paul didn’t play the same solos. Part of the reasoning behind this record was to feature not only Paul as a steel guitarist but me as a vocalist,” he adds.

    “I think Vince’s singing on this album is maybe his Mount Everest of performances,” Franklin says. “I’m excited this music is getting out there and in a way that we feel brings new life and new ideas to it.

    What we hope to do is introduce it to a new generation of fans and musicians that might not take the time to look back into the ’50s and ’60s. If you have great songs and you interpret them through improvisations, you’re going to get something good. And that was our mission,” Franklin adds.

    The entire album contains material that might be surprising to even the most die-hard of Price’s fans. “We started looking through the sheer volume of Ray’s music,” Franklin explains. “We looked for obscure songs, ones even Ray’s fans might not know as well.” As No Depression noted, “Sweet Memories is a labor of love, introducing Price and his music to a new generation.”

    Gill and Franklin discuss the making of Sweet Memories: The Music of Ray Price & The Cherokee Cowboys in a series of YouTube videos on Gill’s channel. You can watch them HERE.

    Last night, Gill and Franklin previewed a few selections from the project, for the first time live on the Grand Ole Opry, performing “Kissing Your Picture (Is So Cold),” “You Wouldn’t Know Love,” “Danny Boy,” and “Your Old Love Letters.” The performance will air on Circle All Access TV on August 12th.

    The album is now available on all streaming services. It is also available on limited edition autographed milky clear vinyl, as well as special exclusive autographed box sets that include the CD, an autographed art card, and a limited edition T-Shirt on Gill’s website HERE.

    There is also a special exclusive tan vinyl that is only available at all Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores©.

I never got to hang around with Ray, but I was taken by – this is of course when he was really dealing with his health – but just watching how kind…we’ve got headphones so we can hear the breathing and issues, but he never lost his voice. When he sang, it was still Ray Price as we’ve known him. But just watching him struggle with that, but yet the kindness and everything to musicians, and I was honored because Buddy Emmons had just turned it down and that was his guy, so to get that call – I mean, I just assumed he’d go down to one of the guys that he knew, but it was really cool and just a nice man.”

  • LIFELONG FAN CARRIE UNDERWOOD HITS THE ROAD WITH GUNS N’ ROSES.

    Audio
    Carrie Underwood

    Carrie Underwood joins her favorite rock band, Guns N’ Roses, for a handful of dates on the North American leg of the group’s 2023 Global Tour beginning Saturday (August 5th) in Moncton, New Brunswick, followed by an August 8th stop in Montreal, Quebec and a show on August 26th in Nashville at GEODIS Park.

    Carrie has performed Guns N’ Roses songs during her shows for years, lately “Welcome To The Jungle.” Lead singer Axl Rose surprised the crowd at Stagecoach in 2022 where the pair sang “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “Paradise City.” She then joined the band in the U-K for their London show to perform those same songs. Axl once again appeared as a surprise guest on Carrie’s L.A. stop on her recent Denim & Rhinestones Tour.

    The Oklahoma native, who cites Axl as a musical influence, is stoked to be opening for the legendary group. “I’m super excited to get to open a few shows for Guns N’ Roses,” says Carrie. “Of course, I’ve been a massive GNR fan for pretty much my whole life. I’ve been able to sing with Guns N’ Roses and Axl separately a few times.”

    Not only will she be able to watch the group’s show every night on the road, but she’ll also get to throw in some new song mashups and rock cover songs she doesn’t get a chance to do in her own headlining shows. “I think the things I look forward to most are obviously, like watching their show (laughs) and being around them, but it’s just such a fun vibe. Their fans are absolutely incredible and so supportive and just have been so much fun everything that I’ve seen from them,” Carrie says. “But also looking forward to just doing some things in our set list that I might not get the chance to do any other time. I wanted to be me, but I also wanted to bridge the gap between me and Guns N’ Roses a little bit, so we’re just having a blast with it. I’m doing some cover songs of some rock stuff that I love. I’m mashing up some of my songs with some other songs. We just look at it as an opportunity to be creative and get to do something we’ve never done before; just have a good time with it. So, hopefully, my fans that are at the shows will see things that they’ve never seen and hear things that they’ve never heard in a really cool way, and then also even if there’s people out there who have no idea what I do, hopefully, they’ll really enjoy seeing us before Guns N’ Roses and just have fun with us too. So, it’s an opportunity for new creative things to happen, and I’m excited about it.”

    Carrie, who is making her way up the country charts with “Out Of That Truck,” will release the deluxe version of her 2022 album, Denim & Rhinestones, on September 22nd. The collection features six new songs, including her latest single.

    Fans can also catch her on the small screen in the show open for NBC’s Sunday Night Football for the 11th consecutive season beginning September 10th on NBC and Peacock.

  • LUKE GRIMES RELEASES NEW VERSION OF “HOLD ON” FEATURING FOY VANCE.

    Audio
    Luke Grimes

    Mercury Nashville / Range Music recording artist Luke Grimes today released a new version of, “Hold On,” which also features Irish singer-songwriter Foy Vance, a co-writer on the track. Produced by Dave Cobb, the song was written by Vance and Ilsey Juber.

    LISTEN TO “HOLD ON” FEATURING FOY VANCE | HERE

    When Grimes began having discussions with his management team about his musical inspirations, Foy Vance, a singer-songwriter from Northern Ireland, was on that list. After a writing session with Vance in Scotland fell through, “Hold On,”, was pitched to the team and it was immediately put on hold for Grimes. He recorded it with Cobb, and it is one of only two songs that Grimes didn’t write for his forthcoming album. After the original “Hold On” came out earlier this year, Grimes reached out to Vance again to see if he would record a duet and though the two have still not yet met in person, the beautiful new version is now available.

    “‘Hold On’ has become one of my favorite songs on the (upcoming) album,” said Grimes. “Foy Vance is one of my favorite current songwriters and although he and I couldn’t get together in person, I knew I wanted him to be a part of this album. He had this song that had not been cut and I immediately fell in love with the words; I felt so connected to it. It’s a familiar feeling, the fear of falling too deeply for someone because you could ultimately get hurt. I think it’s a universal feeling for anyone who has had their heart broken.”

    Adds Vance, “I was so happy to hear that Luke had cut ‘Hold On’ for his debut album and then equally honoured to be asked to duet it with him.”

    About Luke Grimes
    Grimes’ debut track, “No Horse To Ride,” debuted inside the Top 10 of the Country Songs sales chart at No. 7. In its second week of release, “No Horse To Ride” racked up 95K Shazams, placing it No. 2 on the Shazam Country chart, No. 2 on the Shazam Top 200 USA chart and No. 37 on the Shazam Global chart, a rarity for a country artist. Spotify placed the song on the cover of its Country Hits 2023 playlist, with the song in the No. 1 position, and the song has been on eight Spotify Viral Charts.

    Known for his role as Kayce Dutton on the hit television series, “Yellowstone,” Grimes has been making music for years and is prepping his first major label project. When not on set, Grimes can be found spinning his favorite country albums and songwriting at home in Montana or in Nashville writing with some of Music Row’s elite including Jonathan Singleton, Tony Lane, Randy Montana, Brent Cobb, Jamey Johnson, Love Junkies, Josh Osborne, Jon Randall, and Jessie Alexander.

    Grimes grew up playing music in the church as the son of a Pentecostal pastor. His father also laid the foundation for the music he loves, introducing him to the works of Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings. The Ohio native is now finding his own voice and style as an artist, inspired by the likes of Colter Wall, Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton, Miranda Lambert, and the late Townes Van Zandt. Grimes is touring this summer at fairs and festivals across the country.
