Hillbilly Live!

If you’re going to piss people off with your work, do it with confidence.

This man’s shows are hard not to watch and I’m definitely a fan. Taylor Sheridan says he tries to piss off critics with petulance on his TV shows like “Yellowstone” and “Landman”.

He said, “I should have trigger warnings on my shows (that read), ‘If you are a television critic or a Hollywood executive, this is meant to traumatize you. I’m trying to piss you off.’

The madder you are, the madder your review will be. The more people read it, the more curious they’ll be. Every time I get a bad review, I’m like, ‘Thank you.'”

What in the hell is this? I’m glad you asked.

When I first saw Treaty Oak Revival post a picture on their Instagram that said, “WTF IS 80 ACRES”, I had no idea what that meant. Now it’s all coming together.

Let’s introduce you to 80 Acres. 80 Acres is a five-member band that’s fronted by Dylan Marlowe with Christian Strahley (drums), Ethan Leak (guitar), David Medlin (guitar), and John Frisch (bass). The band came together pretty organically as the guys have toured with Dylan for quite some time, often working punk rock tracks into Dylan’s country set and forming a close bond on the road.

This is how great bands start y’all. And this is 80 Acres.

80 Acres does in fact have some music coming soon too. They have their debut self-titled five song EP dropping Wednesday April 8, 2026.

A song this big has to have video that’s even bigger.

Ella Langley finally released her official video for “Choosin’ Texas“ and it’s basically a country video masterpiece. And it was shot in the perfect place too. The video was directed by Ella herself, along with Wales Toney and Caylee Robillard and filmed in Fort Worth, Texas, at the Stagecoach Ballroom.

It stars Luke Grimes, Miranda Lambert (who co-wrote the song), Kaitlin Butts and Reese Witherspoon’s daughter Ava Phillippe. There’s a lot of other familiar faces in this video you’ll probably recognize. Casey Donahew, Wade Bowen, JB Mauney and Dale Brisby to name some more make appearances too.

And Ella’s upcoming album, “Dandelion”, comes out next week. It drops Friday April 10th.

The last time this duo put out new music was in 2023 with the release of their album “Bigger Houses”.

So, it’s time for some new music from Dan + Shay to say the least. Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney are releasing a new song titled “Say So” on Thursday, April 2, 2026, at 11 p.m. CT according to their socials. Which is also marking the start of their next musical chapter.

The duo described the new song as a personal, heartfelt story about losing a friend and hinted at a “most inspired burst of creativity” leading to more new music and a potential tour coming.

Dan said it best the comments, “WE ARE BACK.”

Interviews with alcohol involved are the best.

In light of April Fool’s Day, Nate Smith recently talked about the time he pranked Morgan Wallen on the first night of their tour back in 2024. Nate was trying to be funny, so he threw a full drink at him onstage.

He said, “Morgan forgave me. He should have kicked me off the tour, but we laughed about it. We talked it through…Morgan, if you’re listening, I love you. Thank you for not pranking me back, by the way.  

You made me think you were going to the entire tour and you didn’t. You held back because you’re a man who walks in grace. Thank you, sir.”

One of the best parts of the interview was when host said, “I’m shitfaced from on tequila shot.”

We will be seeing this man act on tv. We promise this is not made up news.

Riley Green fans won’t have to wait much longer to see his acting skills. He’ll be making his TV debut on “Marshals” in mid-April. He’s reportedly a returning character, and he’s previously teased that he’ll be performing onscreen. 

In other Riley news, he’s reportedly opening a second Duck Blind bar location in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Hopefully we’ve updated in Riley news well here. Mainly because we’re here to help.

After watching this…I feel I need to get this done. This is what pain leaving your body looks like.

LeAnn Rimes got a 60-second procedure called a “deep jaw release” that relieves the tension and built-up stress in the jaw. After it’s done, she immediately burst into tears, before laughing it off.

She said, “oh my God, you just don’t realize how much tension is in there.”

It’s going to be a damn Good Friday this week, in more ways than one. 

With it being Holy Week and Easter Sunday coming April 5th this song coming from these two is simply perfect timing. Brandon Lake teamed up with Lainey Wilson to release a special song for the occasion called, “The Jesus I Know Now”.

Brandon said, “glad to say I found a friend in both Jesus and Lainey Wilson.”

The U.S. Army is now investigating why two of their helicopters were hovering outside Kid Rock’s “Southern White House” mansion in Tennessee.

In case you didn’t see, Kid posted a clip of himself standing by his swimming pool and saluting a helicopter. He said in the caption, “this is a level of respect that shit for brains Governor of California will never know. God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her.”

A U.S. Army officer said that an investigation has been initiated, and that the helicopters were flying a route in the Nashville area for training purposes. So, I personally don’t see a problem if they were flying a route in the Nashville area. They literally just stopped and said hi to someone who helps support them. An investigation into this seems like a waste of time and money.

Kid doesn’t think anyone will get in trouble over it though, “my buddy is commander in chief. I mean, what are they looking into? They stopped seconds…a minute? It was pretty cool they stopped right there.  

I wasn’t expecting any of that, but I thought it was pretty neat.” The shit for brains Governor of California title fits Newsom perfectly well too.

This is a level of respect that shit for brains Governor of California will never know. God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her. 🇺🇸 🙏 pic.twitter.com/iD5mmkaXv1
