The new tv series “Marshals” premieres Sunday March 1, 2026 and the cast kicked off the “Yellowstone” spinoff with an event at The Autrey in Los Angeles.
The star of the show, Luke Grimes, who is reprising his role as Kayce Dutton, was joined on the red carpet by the shows co-stars Ash Santos, Moses Brings Plenty, Brecken Merrill, Arielle Kebbel, Gil Birmingham, Tatanka Mean, and country star Riley Green. The man will be making his acting debut in the new show too.
In a video shared on the “Marshals” official TikTok page, Luke introduced Riley, who played a few songs at the event, and he poked a little at his mustachioed friend. It’s what friends do.
Luke said, “well, I had this whole bit I was going to do, where I met this struggling country musician in Nashville and he needed a job, so I gave him a job on our show. But he’s sitting here already so I can’t do that.”
Riley then chimed in with, “want me to leave and come back?”
I can’t wait to watch this new show. Mainly because I’m a fan of watching law enforcement arrest or kill violent criminals. We need more of that in real life too. Let’s be real.
Cody Johnson has a great story about where he proposed to his wife…and you might have had dinner there once or twice.
He said, “this might be really cheesy. I’ll tell you how I proposed to my wife. On our first date, I took her to a Texas Roadhouse here locally, and we sat in a booth…and I was just so in love, and I could not wait to make her my wife…
A year later to the date, we parked in the same spot…and went to the same booth.”
He did not pop the question inside though. He waited until they walked back to the truck. Then he got down on one knee and asked his then future wife the biggest question of his life.
Now they share three kids. And it all started with some fresh baked rolls and that delicious honey cinnamon butter. Amen

1. “Blaze”…95%…starring Ben Dickey and Alia Shawkat.
2. “Wild Rose”…92%…starring Jessie Buckley and Matt Costello.
3. “Honkytonk Man”…90%…starring Clint Eastwood and Kyle Eastwood.
4. “Sweet Dreams”…90%…starring Jessica Lange and Ed Harris.

9. “Walk the Line”…83%…starring Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon.
10. “Tender Mercies”…82%…starring Robert Duvall and Tess Harper.
We do have some honorable mentions here that didn’t make the top ten. And they include “A Prairie Home Companion”(81%), “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” (78%), “Falling From Grace” (78%), “Songcatcher” (74%), “Urban Cowboy” (71%) and “Honeysuckle Rose” (60%).
Of course “Pure Country”…starring King George Strait should’ve been number one and “Urban Cowboy” should’ve been number on this list. But I wasn’t in charge of putting together this list.
Luke Combs is over it. In a new interview, he opened up about being labeled politically, even though he says he’s never claimed a side.
Luke says the backlash ramped up after he addressed an old video that had the Confederate flag in it. So, then he joined a panel with Maren Morris and made it clear he’s not a racist. But that moment had some critics calling him “woke”. I mean if you’re not something…then why apologize for it.
I also wouldn’t have joined a panel with Maren…unless it was to call her out for being a ridiculous person in running the country music community into the ground.
Luke said, “I’m not liberal enough for liberals and not conservative enough for conservatives. They want you to be this or this. There’s no grey area. There’s no clickbait in being a moderate.”
Luke says that country music should be for everyone. No labels required. I thing all of us who just trying to live life is over over the political stage and the labeling.
Welcome to the final Friday in February…as it’s February 27, 2026…and we do in fact have some new country music here again y’all.
Now be sure to do your part in visiting your neighbor liquor store to pair your favorite alcohol with your new favorite country music, because it’s how country music is supposed be enjoyed. Don’t let anyone judge you for it neither.
Here’s what we’ve found…
1.Jon Langston released his second studio album “Thing About Me”.
6. Gavin Adcock dropped a cover of Waylon Jennings’s “Only Daddy That’ll Walk The Line”, which is from his compilation covers album called “Country Never Dies” that’s dropping March 13, 2026.
7. Jason Aldean released “Don’t Tell On Me” along with two more other songs from his upcoming album, “Songs About Us”, which due out April 24, 2026.
Dolly Parton’s classic song “Jolene” is getting another makeover. And thank God it’s not Beyoncé this time, because really ruffled some feathers.
An up-and-coming artist named Belles just wrote a sequel to “Jolene” called “Son of Jolene”. It’s pretty damn catchy too.
Here’s the best part though, Dolly loves the song, too. And now she wants to do a duet.
Belles said, “when I wrote this song, I would’ve never in a million years thought that it would’ve gone all the way to Dolly…and now I’m here, but I really couldn’t be more grateful.”
And here’s what Dolly said about it, “when I heard ‘Son of Jolene’, I thought it was very clever. No one had ever thought of it that way.”
And When Dolly told Belles she wanted to sing on it, Belles said, “I could die happy now.” I get it…as I would too.
Carly Pearce talked with Taste Of Country and was asked how far you’d have to walk inside her house to know it was hers.
It’s not a long walk at all neither. She said, “you would walk in my hallway and turn the corner into my living room and there’s a shrine of myself…and I’m fine with it.”
Carly said every milestone is proudly displayed. But her dad is not as thrilled. She said. “my dad thinks it’s a little aggressive…but when you’ve worked your whole life, every plaque, every award, everything is there.”
The only problem is now she’s run out of room.
She went on to say, “I’m at max capacity…I have some plaques in my garage, which is a nice feeling. I’ll take it.”
So, I’m seeing about 10 artists who have posted something about this “Country Never Dies” project.
I’ve even seen some other country news publications saying this is a new Gavin Adcock album that’s coming from him. Mainly due to him teasing a cover of Waylon Jennings’ “Only Daddy That’ll Walk The Line”. Of course he’s only teasing the single and he’s not actually saying this project is his album alone.
Gavin’s cover of Waylon’s classic…sounds damn good too. And I could be wrong here, but I don’t this is being a Gavin Adcock album alone. I feel we’re about to see a country music classic country cover compilation album y’all.
Jake Worthington’s post about this on his Instagram teasing this new project tagged about 10 different accounts. As of now the only song we actually know here is Gavin’s cover of “Only Daddy That’ll Walk The Line” that’s dropping this Friday, February 27th. And the album, “Country Never Dies”, will be released March 13, 2026.
