Ella Langleynamed her top three dream collaborators that we can all hope could someday become a reality. She revealed that they are Chris Stapleton, Miley Cyrus, and Stevie Nicks.
In one interview Ella talked about possibly teaming up with some of the leading female artists in the contemporary country music landscape…
“There will probably always be collaborations on the horizon. We’re going to switch it up and do some female collaborations soon. There are so many amazing females in town that I just believe in, and I want to work with and sing with and write songs with”.
She also mentioned in a recent interview that she wants to get into acting in the next year. She said, “I like thrillers but also love comedy. I’m not a big romantic movie lady, so probably something funnier or a little more intense.”
And the way her music career is going…she can probably did anything she wants.
Cody Johnson has been dropping some songs and talking about releasing new music for awhile. His last album, “Leather”, came out in 2023. And with twenty five songs on that project…it had plenty to hold us over til COJO’s next album. But it’s been three years now. Three long years.
Cody has finally announced the news of his ninth studio album. I mean it could technically be his tenth, but we can’t really count his Christmas album.
The man’s “Banks Of The Trinity” album will be available come June 26, 2026. The fist song, “I Want You”, is already available wherever you stream country music
Cody had a lot to say about the album on his socials too…
“When I heard the song “Banks Of The Trinity” for the first time, it was like a portrait flashed in my head of memories I thought I’d forgotten. It took me straight back home to Sebastopol, Texas, where I grew up on the river.
That’s why I chose a photo of Lawrence’s Grocery Store for the album cover. As a kid, I used to ride my bike two miles down an old dirt road just to get a cream soda and a Blue Bell ice cream bar. I’d sit there and listen to the old men talk for a while before heading back home with a basket of groceries.
This record is my way of going back to those dirt roads. I can’t wait for you to come with me on that journey back.”
Wrestling and country music make for great business partnerships.
Darius Ruckersigned a deal with the WWE. But sadly, he isn’t going to actually wrestle. It’s for clothing.
Darius said, “not sure if y’all knew this, but I’m a HUGE wrestling fan!! I have been my whole life! That’s why I’m so excited to share the new WWE line in my Fanatics collection.”
Post Malone is celebrating 10 years of teaming up with Bud Light with a new product: MINI BEERS.
Post said, “we knew we had to do something…small! It’s a simple thing. If the Bud Lights are mini, they stay cold longer for you and your buddies to enjoy. Genius, if I say so myself.”
There will be 7-oz. bottles and 7.5-oz. cans and they’ll be co-branded with the “Posty Co.” logo.
Posty made the announcement with a short film called “The Smallest Bar in the West”. The minis will make their debut at the Stagecoach Festival next week. He’s headlining on Sunday, April 26th.
Welcome to another Friday again y’all…as it’s April 17, 2026. And we do in fact have some new country music here today.
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.
Dogs are amazing additions to the family. Until they start rubbing their ass all over your carpet at home.
As a proud dog owner and lover….I’ll be the first to say that dogs can be nasty. It’s also not a bad idea to buy a carpet cleaner if you’re thinking about getting or maybe you already own dog. Mainly because if you have carpet in home,,,they will cover it with literal shit at some point.
With that being said…I still firmly believe that dogs are still better than cats. And you won’t change my mind.
Justin Moore recently landed his 14th career #1 with “Time’s Ticking”, which also set the record for the longest climb to the top of the charts with its 67 week run to get there.
Having fourteen #1 songs to your name is impressive for any artist. There are a lot of artists who go their entire career and never make it to the top of the charts, and Justin has managed to be a consistent hitmaker for nearly two decades now. In fact, Justin’s 14 chart-toppers puts him in the top 40 of all time in country music…and it ties him with another country legend, George Jones.
It’s kind of hard to believe the Possum, one of the greatest country artist of all time, only scored fourteen #1 songs throughout his 50 plus year career. And Justin had a priceless reaction to finding out he had actually tied George with his latest #1.
After “Time’s Ticking” topped the charts, Justin was talking with radio hosts Big D & Bubba when they revealed to him that his fourteen chart toppers put him into a tie George. And it’s safe to say that Justin was shocked to find himself in some really good company.
He said…
Are you kidding me? Oh my gosh. That’s insane.”
Which is how I would’ve responded to that news as well. Justin admitted that his goals have changed over the years too.
“I mean, I remember when I moved to town, I was 18, this was ’02, and I thought, ‘Man, if I can just get a record deal, even if I don’t ever get to put anything out, then I can go back home and be proud.’ You know, stand tall, puff my chest out.
And then we had a hit and I thought, ‘It’s alright if I’m a one hit wonder.’ Then you have one more, and another one, and another one. It’s amazing, man.”
He sums it up with a goal that’s much more important though…
News broke back on April 10th about Kacey Musgraves being followed by three unidentified flying objects on her flight to Nashville. The orbs were orange-ish and would change direction with her plane.
She said, “these orbs were not moving like any craft that we can control. They were intermittently coming and going, forming triangle patterns.”
Kacey’s pilots told her they’ve been seeing these pop up and don’t know what they are.
Kacey Musgraves shares videos of alleged UFOs escorting her flight. 👀
Now Kacey is pretty serious about UFOs y’all. She’s set up an Instagram page with the username “Spacey Sightings” to post all the “weird stuff” she sees saying, “I’m gonna be so annoyed if I created this account and never have any other sightings.”
In other Kacey news, she was announced as a surprise guest for Coachella on Saturday.
Today is Tax Day, which is probably either meaningless, annoying, or stressful to you. If you’re in the last group, you’re not alone.
According to a survey that was conducted at the start of 2026, 29% of Americans said they’d probably procrastinate on filing their taxes this year…and even more admitted to putting things off last year too. It’s an annual tradition y’all!
Back then, 15% of Americans thought they’d be done by January…38% said they were hoping they could get it taken care of in February…26% said March was the best bet…and 18% said they expected to wait until April.
Even then, 3% of people said they’d probably file for an extension, which pushes the deadline back to October 15th. If you do that, you do have to pay interest on any money you owe.
Let’s be honest…more than 3% are actually in that boat, today.
19% of people said they didn’t know when the filing deadlines were.
There are a lot of reasons that we procrastinate on filing our taxes. And the top three are…it’s too complicated and stressful…it’s too time consuming…and we’re worried about owing money.
If you have more complex finances, it can also be a hassle collecting and organizing all the documents you need…and if you wait to the last minute, it can be hard to schedule an appointment with a tax professional.
The people most likely to procrastinate on their taxes are in the Southeastern U.S., as well as the Dakotas and out west. The states least likely to put it off are in the Midwest and Northeast.
According to a new Fox News poll, a record 70% of voters think the taxes they pay are too high…up 11 points from last year. And 75% say that government spending is too wasteful…up a whopping 18% from last year.
The #1 tax frustration is…the wealthy not paying their fair share. Whatever that really means.
What’s really important this mans take on the IRS, because they really are “c*ck sucker”.
