A couple of weeks ago, Jordan Davis was able to perform his latest single, “Almost Maybes” live for the first time, and he and his band couldn’t wait to see what the reaction would be like from the crowd.

“I think the thing about this pandemic is we haven’t been able to play a lot of these songs out, so we have ‘Almost Maybes,’ – we’re looking at it on the setlist and excited for it being the first time that we’re getting to play it live and we’re playing a big festival on the East Coast,” says Jordan. “And I mean I just stopped singing it and was able to just kind of put the mic down and just listen to all the fans scream it back to me. That was a special moment, and really, really glad I got to share it with ‘em.”

The Louisiana native penned the song, which is poised to hit the top of the country charts, with Jesse Frasure and Hillary Lindsey. “Almost Maybes” is the follow-up to three consecutive No. 1 songs, “Singles You Up,” “Take It From Me” and “Slow Dance in a Parking Lot.”

Jordan is set to kick off his headlining Buy Dirt Tour September 9t in Minneapolis, and will also hit the road with Kane Brown later this fall.

Tickets for Where I Come From: Tornado Benefit Featuring Alan Jackson have sold out, organizers have announced. Capacity for the June 26th at the Coweta County Fairgrounds in Newnan, Georgia was reached within hours of the event going on sale Friday morning (May 21st).

Jackson is headlining the event in his hometown to assist those impacted by an EF-4 tornado that ripped through Newnan in March. Proceeds from Where I Come From: Tornado Benefit Featuring Alan Jackson will benefit the Coweta Community Foundation’s Tornado Relief Fund. Despite the event’s sellout, donation opportunities remain and can be made to the fund via the Foundation’s website.

The June 26th concert headlined by Jackson finds the Country Music Hall of Fame member joined by multi-platinum entertainer Chris Young, singer-songwriter-producer Caylee Hammack, singer-songwriter Adam Wright and country artist Brian Wright, the latter two both – like Jackson – Newnan natives.

“This is a montage of everything I have done since my last album,” Allan says of RUTHLESS. “It’s what I love.  I remain influenced by the ‘90s — as well as by the ‘80s. Twenty-six tracks were cut for this album.  Then I went back to the studio and recorded three or four more tracks. Then I returned for two more. From each of these many sessions, I pulled out the cool stuff that I wanted on the record.” Hear more from Gary Allan about RUTHLESS here:

While becoming a force on the country music scene, Allan has remained true to his artistic voice each step of the way.  Allan has also dropped the brand new merch collection that can be purchased with the album, including exclusive t-shirts, hats, vinyl, and more on his website at ruthless.garyallan.com. 

Jordan Davis released his brand new EP, Buy Dirt, today – listen HERE. Featuring eight songs, seven of which were co-written by Davis, the Shreveport native “eyes a risk-taking project many fans may not expect (American Songwriter).” Produced by Paul DiGiovanni, Buy Dirt is the follow up to Davis’ debut album, Home State, and his self-titled EP released last Spring.

As a young father and husband, Davis finds himself in a new place in his life and this comes across in the songs he wrote. From the John Prine inspired intro “Blow Up Your TV,” the regret-filled “Need To Not,” the reflective “I Still Smoked,” to the current Top 10 single, “Almost Maybes,” Davis delivers an exceptional performance that takes his artistry to new heights. Watch Davis talk about the making of his new EP HERE.

Davis will make a very special appearance on NBC’s 3^rd hour of TODAY June 1^st, performing “Buy Dirt” with country superstar Luke Bryan. Bryan lends his vocals on the title track and centerpiece of the EP, which illustrates the vulnerable realization of the things that matter most in life. Fans can catch Davis live on tour this Fall performing on Kane Brown’s Blessed and Free Tour. Additionally, Davis will be performing the half-time show for  the Nashville Soccer Club’s match against Austin FC at Nissan Stadium this Sunday.

Dierks Bentley climbs to the top of the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart this week with his latest smash, “Gone,” marking his 20th No. 1.

“I really can’t believe I have 20 No. Ones at Country radio,” he said. “I still remember the bar I played in Texas when I found out that ‘What Was I Thinking’ was going to be my first No. One. It’s a great feeling that only gets better with each song that goes to the top. I am so appreciative of Country radio for all the support they have given me from the beginning…it’s been a great ride.”

Written by Nicolle Galyon, Ben Johnson and Niko Moon and produced by David Garcia, Dierks says he still feels like it was yesterday when he scored his first chart-topper with “What Was I Thinkin’.”

“It’s like when I walk on stage, I feel just like that same kid that sung that song,” he says. “In some ways nothing’s changed, and in most ways everything’s changed. It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 singles.”

LIST OF NO. 1 SINGLES:

“What Was I Thinkin’”
“Come A Little Closer”
“Settle For A Slow Down”
“Every Mile A Memory”
“Free And Easy”
“Feel That Fire”
“Sideways”

Jordan Davis releases his new EP, Buy Dirt, tomorrow (May 21st). Produced by Paul DiGiovanni, Buy Dirt is Davis’ eight-song follow-up to last year’s self-titled EP and his debut album Home State. Davis co-wrote every song on the EP except for the John Prine-inspired “Blow Up Your TV,” who is a major influence on Davis and his music. As a husband and new father, Davis finds himself in a different place in his life, and the songs reflect it. Davis stakes his claim as a country innovator, both expanding and modernizing his sound without abandoning his love for the classics.

“I think this EP, Buy Dirt, it’s been my last year. You know, I think I’ve learned a lot about myself, and I’ve been able to kind of reprioritize some stuff,” says Jordan. I think it’s good to be busy. I’ve kind of always leaned on being busy as this really, really good thing. Being busy is good because that means you have a lot of work or whatever. But unfortunately, when you’re busy and you’re on the road, a lot of things that should come first kind of get pushed to the side. I kind of had to figure that out, and the pandemic really put it right in front of my face. And so, My writing changed, and I think that’s what a lot of these songs on Buy Dirt kind of reflect. I hope they take away some good music and a changed artist for the better.”

Country superstar Luke Bryan lends his vocals on the vulnerable title track and centerpiece of the EP. The two musicians had first met at an awards show, then bumped into each other on the golf course throughout the years that followed. “We sat around the fire after a golf tournament one day, smoking cigars and talking about everything but music,” Davis recalls. “That conversation always stuck with me. Luke isn’t just a great entertainer; he’s a great Dad, a great husband, and a great friend, too. That’s what ‘Buy Dirt’ embodies. When I wrote ‘Buy Dirt,’ I knew he could relate to the song’s message. I took a chance and asked him to join me on the recording, and he said yes.”

Additionally, Fans can watch the EP trailer detailing the new project HERE. Davis’ current single, “Almost Maybes,” is currently Top 10 on the country radio charts and Davis will hit the road this Fall performing on Kane Brown’s Blessed and Free Tour.

Country star Josh Turner’s Your Man Deluxe Edition is out now. The deluxe edition celebrates 15 years of Turner’s iconic Double Platinum-selling Your Man album. It features all 11 original tracks including collaborations with country icons John Anderson, Dr. Ralph Stanley, and Diamond Rio’s Marty Roe, Gene Johnson, and Dana Williams, plus live versions of the title track “Your Man,” fan favorite and often celebrated “Me and God,” and multi-week No. 1 hit “Would You Go With Me.”

“The YOUR MAN album holds so many special memories,” says Turner. “It marked so many firsts in my career.  My first No.1 album and single and we were pregnant with our first child. It was a pivotal album in my career, and I am so thankful to be celebrating it 15 years later with the release of YOUR MAN Deluxe Edition.”

The Triple Platinum-selling title track “Your Man,” penned by Chris Stapleton, Chris DuBois, and Jace Everett, has become one of Turner’s trademark hits, as has the accompanying video which is now nearing 100M views. Turner and the video’s leading lady, his wife Jennifer, returned to the historic Hermitage Hotel in downtown Nashville for a special anniversary making of the “Your Man (Official Music Video – Reimagined 15 Years Later),” which also features cameos of the couple’s four children- Hampton, Colby, Marion, and Hawke.

“I don’t think anybody has done this, where the same people go back and recreate the video from 15 years prior, in the same location,” Turner shares exclusively with PEOPLE. “When I saw the first edit, I just sat there, and I was speechless. I was thinking, this is kind of crazy looking. Once you think you’ve done it all, you haven’t.”

Watch “Your Man (Official Music Video – Reimagined 15 Years Later) 

Turner’s Double-Platinum-selling “Would You Go With Me” also recently experienced a viral surge across TikTok leading to a jump in streaming which landed the classic country tune on Spotify’s US Viral 50 along with Spotify Viral charts in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland. Posting more than 3.7M weekly streams, “Would You Go With Me” moved inside the Top 35 on the Country streaming chart and ranked HOT on Amazon Music’s Voice Index.

The Your Man Deluxe Edition marks the first time the signature album has been pressed on vinyl which is available now exclusively at Walmart.

Caylee Hammack is on cloud nine after receiving the news that country superstar Alan Jackson wrote a song based on a letter she sent to him thanking him for recording a duet with her on a cover of the Don Williams’ classic “Lord I Hope This Day Is Good.” In the letter, she said for a man that never cries, her daddy was crying happy tears after listening to her daughter and the iconic Alan Jackson sing together.

His team didn’t really know that he wrote it about that until he was talking about the songs on the record. “The truth be known, the hook came from a young artist that’s on my label, a girl named Caylee Hammack,” says Alan. “She wanted to record this old Don Williams song, ‘Lord I Hope This Day Is Good.’ And I love that song and I love Don anything. And so, I agreed to sing it with her and it’s her record…and she’s a great singer. She sounded beautiful on it. And after we had recorded it she sent me a nice gift or two and a letter and the letter was – she’s from Georgia, like I am from somewhere up north of Atlanta – that she had taken the rough track we had sent her and played it for her daddy who is probably my age. But he was a big fan of mine and this was in the letter that she played it for him and he…yeah, I guess he teared up about it and she just thought it was really something from a man who never cries. And I thought I need to write that.”

Caylee’s team just sent over the song and said they wanted her reaction caught on camera. Little did she know the song was based on her father. “I listened to the song, and I just fell in love with the song and it made me think of my dad. Well, I’m already excited to listen to a (new) Alan Jackson song but I don’t know why I’ve gotten the chance to,” says Caylee. “I called the team and I tell them it reminds me of my dad, but why did he send it? They explain to me that this was inspired by a letter that I had written Alan Jackson and a line specifically about my dad, a man that never cries but crying happy tears when he heard our version of ‘Lord I Hope This Day is Good.’ It just blew me away to be completely honestly. I didn’t even know to wish for this, but still it’s just a dream come true. I’m so grateful to Alan Jackson, Mr. Jackson, I don’t know what I should call him just yet, but I am so very grateful. He made my dad’s day, once again.”

I’m not crying, you’re crying😭😭😭 https://t.co/A0wXmymIGo

Caylee will also have a chance to thank Alan in person when she performs during his concert Where I Come From: Tornado Benefit show for relief efforts in Newnan, Georgia June 26th.

Alan just released Where Have You Gone, his first album in six years, last Friday (May 14th).

Dierks Bentley is about to take over the top of the country charts with his latest single “Gone.” He gravitated towards the song, written by Nicolle Galyon, Ben Johnson and Niko Moon, when he first saw the title and the clever wordplay in the song.

“When it came time to cut some stuff, that song just kind of rose to the top, and I gravitated towards it because I love the title,” says Dierks. “I love a good classic country wordplay of ever since you left, I’ve been gone, but he actually hasn’t gone anywhere. I feel like I’ve been gone. I feel like we’ve all been gone. So, it touches on a little bit of the idea of what’s been going on here with COVID, but it does it in a metaphorical way through a relationship. So, it touches on a way we can all relate to, but I just love the groove. I love the way it feels. One of the good things about not writing the song is I can brag on it. It’s written well. It’s well-written with a great groove; it’s fun to listen to.”

If Dierks hits the top of the charts, it’ll be his 20th No. 1.

The headliner will hit the road with his Beers On Me Tour with Parker McCollum and Riley Green August 13th in Salt Lake City, Utah.
