CMA Album of the Year nominee Jon Pardi releases Heartache Medication Deluxe Edition today. Featuring three new bonus tracks- “Bar Downtown,” “Beer Light” and “Ain’t Always The Cowboy (Western Version),” the expanded album of his critically-acclaimed album Heartache Medication celebrates the one year anniversary of the original album release and his first, back-to-back headlining shows at the famed Ryman Auditorium (10/1-2/2019). Teaming up again with longtime collaborators Bart Butler and Ryan Gore, the triple threat producer, singer and songwriter co-produced all three new tracks. “Bar Downtown” premiered on Rolling Stone Country yesterday (10/1) and fans can listen to the full 17-track Heartache Medication Deluxe Edition HERE.

Heartache Medication Deluxe Edition comes on the heels of Pardi’s recent, second consecutive ACM Album of the Year nomination and his current CMA Album of the Year nomination (his first nod in the category). With the release of his highly-lauded album Heartache Medication, Pardi doubled-down and “…cut a path through modern country by stubbornly sticking to fiddles, steel guitar, and dive-bar jukebox energy” (The New York Times). Critics hailed his blend of “honky-tonkin’, boot-stompin’ tracks about whiskey, women and song” (The New York Times), named him the only country artist/album represented in the Los Angeles Times “Best Albums of the Year” list (#4) and called him an artist that “…proves that Country music is still thrillingly alive” (Rolling Stone).

The ACM/CMA winning artist recently became the first country artist to have two #1 singles on Country Radio in 2020. Heartache Medication Deluxe Edition follows the release of “Ain’t Always The Cowboy” (Western Version) and Pardi’s RANCHO FIESTA SESSIONS– an eight-song album that features a combination of songs Pardi is both inspired by, and loves to perform-and his ACM/CMA nominated album, HEARTACHE MEDICATION. Pardi is currently nominated for CMT Awards’ Collaborative Video of the Year category for his collaboration on the #1 hit single “Beer Can’t Fix” with Thomas Rhett.

Fresh off his powerful performance of current Top 25-and-climbing single “Stick That In Your Country Song” on CBS’ recent ACM Awards, praised by Billboard as “one of the night’s hardest rocking, most passionate performances,” Eric Church offers fans more new music with the release of “Hell Of A View,” available now.

Written by Church together with Casey Beathard (“The Outsiders,” “Mr. Misunderstood”) and Monty Criswell (“Like Jesus Does”), the romantic mid-tempo track depicts a life devoted to chasing dreams over dollars alongside the ones we love. Joined by powerhouse and longtime backing vocalist Joanna Cotten, Church sings about the payoff of such a life in the song’s chorus:

“This ain’t for everybody / Toes hanging off the ledge / Like we got nothin’ to lose / Ain’t always heaven, baby / This livin’ on the edge / You holdin’ me holdin’ you / It’s a hell of a view”

Like current single “Stick That In Your Country Song” and additional releases “Bad Mother Trucker” and “Crazyland,” this latest song was born from a sequestered session in rural North Carolina where the current CMA Entertainer and Male Vocalist of the Year nominee wrote and recorded a song per day for nearly a month.

In addition to the official releases, Church has also shared previews of unreleased music with recent performances on ACM Presents: Our Country (“Never Break Heart”), Stagecouch (“Jenny”) and in a defiant spoken-word recording (“Through My Ray-Bans”).

The new music follows Church’s most recent critically acclaimed project, 2018’s Desperate Man, his sixth studio album which was named one of the year’s best by Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, Los Angeles Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, Variety and Vulture, also earning a Grammy nod for Best Country Album (his third nomination in the category).

Walker adds, “I can’t believe Kylie was in her teens when we wrote this.  Even crazier how it has stood the test time.  I know this song and the way she and Shane were able to bring it together will most definitely meet people where they are & make them pull over. I did when I heard it the first time.”

Keith Urban recently joined fellow songwriter-musician-collaborator Foy Vance on Foy’s new web series, “The Vinyl Supper.” The website states: “If you miss having dinner with friends, grab a seat at Foy’s table. On The Vinyl Supper, Foy Vance chats songs and food with old friends and special guests. During each episode, Foy has a lively discussion with his guest about what three courses they’d eat and what music they’d listen to at their last meal. And of course, they catch up and chew the fat with moments of levity amidst the cathartic reflection. Foy’s pals talk about everything from pairing burgers with oysters to Japanese beef and redneck sushi. Conversations meander through global tours and global lockdown, losing loved ones and winning Grammys, reflecting on life before and during quarantine. As it turns out, you can tell a lot about a person by their favorite food and music.”

Keith is episode No. 2 in the series and they talked about dogs (including Keith’s toy poodle Julian), Bonnie Raitt, Billy Connolly, promite sandwiches, Ray Charles, Willie Nelson, and much more.

Keith Urban recently released his latest single, “One Too Many,” with P!NK.

Sam Hunt has released his latest single, “Breaking Up Was Easy in the 90’s.” The tune, which is featured on his latest album Southside, is the follow-up to his recent chart-topper, “Hard to Forget.”

“’Breaking Up Was Easy in the ‘90s,’ that’s a song that kind of speaks to the times a little bit. My favorite line from that song is ‘Modern love leads to modern hearts breaking. I’m just a product of my generation.’ Just a fun, kind of simple reflection on how much more difficult it is to be so connected, the downside of being so connected, nowadays. Yeah, that was one that was written in the ninth hour and turned out pretty cool, I thought, and we put it on the record.”

Sam is nominated for two CMT Music Awards — Male Video of the Year for “Hard to Forget” and CMT Performance of the Year for his cover of Reba McEntire’s iconic hit, “Fancy,” at the 2019 CMT Artists of the Year ceremony. The 2020 CMT Music Awards will air October 21st beginning at 8pm ET/7pm CT.
