Charlie Worsham has been playing the long game for over a decade, and he’s finally poised to cash in with an all-star duets project he’s calling Compadres. Released this week, the five-song EP features collabs with A-listers Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, Elle King, Dierks Bentley, and Kip Moore.
But before he was able to create Compadres, Worsham, 38, had to make peace with a now 10-year-old ghost. Back in 2013, the Mississippi native released Rubberband, his major-label Nashville debut. It failed to crack the Top 10 on the country albums chart,...

To hear Brent Cobb tell it, you can draw a line from today’s class of the most celebrated country artists straight back to Shooter Jennings’ debut album, 2005’s Put the O Back in Country. One of the first LPs produced by Dave Cobb, it helped forge relationships between the Grammy-winning producer, Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, Jamey Johnson, and some of Nashville’s best musicians, like guitarists Leroy Powell and Jason “Rowdy” Cope.

Few artists embody the South quite like Brent Cobb — the guy is a walking bowl of greens. On his new song “Southern Star,” he summons the easygoing vibes and sounds of his native Georgia. Accented by Wurlitzer keys and Cobb’s own acoustic strumming, it’s a song about going home.
“Under the Southern star I heal all of my scars/As cicadas sing ain’t it the sweetest dream,” Cobb sings. “Winding kudzu vines untangle up my mind/How beloved is my home sweet home.”

When Jake Owen announced the track list for his upcoming album Loose Cannon, his first in four years, one song’s writing credits stood out above all the others: “On the Boat Again” is credited to Devin Dawson, Kyle Fishman, Rocky Block, Blake Pendergrass and…Willie Nelson. It’s easy to hear why.
“On the Boat Again” borrows the chorus melody of Nelson’s 1980 touring anthem “On the Road Again,” changing the lyrics to summon that most cherished of Southern weekend outings: boat day. “On the boat again/I just...

Luke Combs is surprising fans with new music.
Less than a year after the release of the musician’s Grammy-nominated record Growin’ Up, he’s announcing his new album Gettin’ Old.
“This album is about the stage of life I’m in right now. One that I’m sure a lot of us are in, have been through, or will go through,” Combs explained. “It’s about coming of age, loving where life is now but at the same time missing how it used to be, continuing to fall for the one you love and loving them no matter what, living in the moment but still wondering how much time you have left, family, friends, being thankful, and leaving a legacy. Me and so many others have poured their hearts and souls into this record, and I hope you love it as much as we do.”

Blame the pandemic, the dying planet, or our rapid transition into United States: Fury Road, but there’s a lot of soul searching going on these days. Some artists, especially in the Americana genre, are even looking to the heavens. Brent Cobb is releasing a gospel album in January, Hiss Golden Messenger sing hymns religious and secular on a new LP, and Katie Pruitt is dissecting her complicated religious upbringing in the must-listen podcast The Recovering Catholic.
Brian Fallon, meanwhile, is turning to the spirituals he heard in the pews as a kid.

There’s an uncharacteristic quaver in Jamey Johnson’s baritone when talking about the last song he ever wrote with Jason “Rowdy” Cope, his longtime friend and bandmate.
That song, “All of Your Stones,” ended up becoming the title track of the new album by Cope’s band the Steel Woods. Released last week, the LP is an unexpected tribute to the Southern-rock group’s lead guitarist: Cope died from complications related to diabetes in January. He was only 42.

There’s a gentle life-lessons ballad called “Little Stuff” that wraps up Brent Cobb’s latest album Keep ‘Em on They Toes in which he sings about seeing “heaven in the clouds.” It’s not a metaphor. Cobb, a proponent of natural mind-altering substances, was on a mushroom trip beneath a tree near a river in Spokane, Washington, when he looked up and saw faces gazing down at him from behind the clouds.
“You can call it God or angels or whatever you want,” he says, “but I saw the faces beyond the sky.

It’s been three years since Miranda Lambert released The Weight of These Wings, a double-disc examination of the regrets, rebounds, and emotional resets that follow a divorce. At 24 tracks, the album’s running time gave her more than enough room to indulge her musical whims, from impressionistic Americana — a sound that nodded to the moody murk and woozy, water-colored production of Emmylou Harris’ Wrecking Ball — to raw, rough-edged roots-rock. The result was a supersized record that didn’t consolidate her strengths as much as emphasize their full, unabridged scope.

The passage of time was a heavy presence in singer-songwriter Hailey Whitters’ breakout single “Ten Year Town,” in which she reflected on the sweat equity and lack of guarantees when chasing a musical career. In another Whitters’ song, “The Days,” time is still a central figure, but in this case it’s something to be savored as long as possible.
Written by Whitters, Hillary Lindsey and Ben West, “The Days” stitches together memories of spiked lemonade, high school graduation and hiding out in Cvs to avoid the town gossip, with...

Opening with a slashing guitar riff and the wail of singer Cody Cannon, Whiskey Myers’ new song “Die Rockin'” is a blast of potent rock & roll with a Southern flavor. “I’m gonna rock until I die/I’m gonna die rockin’,” Cannon sings, letting you know exactly where he lands on the rock versus pop debate.
“Die Rockin’,” written by Cannon with Texas country rebel Ray Wylie Hubbard, is the first release off the Texas band’s upcoming self-titled album, out September 27th.

Randy Rogers Band chronicle a vacation breakup in “We Never Made It to Mexico,” Rhiannon Giddens reaches across generations and cultures in the gripping “Ten Thousand Voices” and Pink gets an assist from Chris Stapleton in “Love Me Anyway” in this week’s batch of must-hear songs.
Davisson Brothers Band, “Unbreak You”
The chorus may nod to Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy,” but “Unbreak You” takes the bulk of its cues from modern country radio, mixing the Davisson Brothers Band’s West Virginia twang with rocked-up grit and thickly stacked harmonies.

Logan Brill is a woman on the move in her new song “Roll,” which premieres today. The swaggering track is the Knoxville, Tennessee, native’s follow-up to “Walk of Shame,” released earlier in 2019.
Penned by Brent Cobb with Ben Daniel and Skip Black, “Roll” comes from a similarly funky place as “Morning’s Gonna Come” on Cobb’s 2018 album Providence Canyon. Produced by Jason Lehning, the track’s slippery Dobro licks and sizzling slide guitar help Brill embody the good-timing, fast-moving narrator role as she sings about searching for a...

The living took on the hordes of dead Sunday night in an epic, bloody episode of HBO’s Game of Thrones titled “The Long Night” that will no doubt be debated intensely for weeks as the series prepares to wrap up its eighth and final season. Many fans from the country music world weighed in on Twitter, but one performer was closer to the action than all the rest: Chris Stapleton, who makes a brief cameo as a fallen Wildling-turned-White Walker outside Winterfell as Jon Snow tries to charge the Night King.

Country troubadour Brent Cobb got Rocky Mountain high for cover of Tom Petty’s “You Don’t Know How It Feels,” delivering a sun-dappled performance of the classic hit in Telluride, Colorado, in a newly posted installment of his ongoing “Meat and Potatoes Sessions” warm-up videos.
Playing back-porch style – if one’s back porch happens to include a breathtaking mountain vista – the gorgeous clip was filmed in August of 2018, a few months after Petty’s death. With Cobb’s Georgian drawl adding an extra layer to Petty’s deep-thinking slacker vibe,...

Alabama native Adam Hood gets buried alive in the new video for “She Don’t Love Me,” his latest collaboration with fellow singer-songwriter Brent Cobb.
“She stole my heart, killed my pride, but she can’t put me in the ground,” Hood sings in the chorus, which proves to be a prophetic line for the video. Hood takes a sunny drive through the country with his girlfriend, who lures him out to a spot in the woods where she’s been digging a large pit. One swift blow to the...
