This man releases country music that doesn’t miss.

Casey Donahew has been releasing music since he first showed up with his debut album “Lost Days” in 2006. I was hooked the first time I heard “Stockyards”.

Mainstream country radio keeps playing music that they think is better than this man’s music…and they are absolutely wrong as they have been for years. They are missing out giving country music fans country music that actually has substance. Texas music and red dirt music alone is better than 80% of the music that comes out of Nashville. That’s just factual information that you can actually hear.

“White Trash Story”, “What Cowboys Do”, “Drove Me To The Whiskey”, “Bad Guy”, “He Ain’t A Cowboy” and “Built Different” to name a few fill my soul. His music is cowboy country and it’s solid. Casey has been playing this song at his shows for a hot minute and teasing it on his socials. As in I’ve been not patiently waiting for this song.

Now here we here. It’s Friday, September 25, 2026. And Casey Donahew delivered his song, “Earnhardt”.

Wrangler has had one of the greatest partnerships in history.

King George Strait is still rockin’ Wranglers, over 30 years since he wore them in “Pure Country” in 1992. Now in new ad, he said, “you know how to spot an original? They never change who they are, or what they stand for.”

The formal signature line, Wrangler George Strait Collection, officially launched in 2003, featuring specialty western shirts. Then eventually expanding into his signature line of jeans. And you can dress in his clean and classic cowboy style with Wrangler’s George Strait Collection today.

I mean you can’t go wrong in Wranglers. They know what the hell they’re doing…and they’re doing it well.

Happy Dolly Parton Day y’all!

As a nod to her song “9 to 5”, today is all about celebrating the Queen of Country across the country. Here’s how a few cities will honor her. In New Orleans, they will have a Celebration of Life parade.

In Nashville, there will be pink lights and Dolly posters around the city, and Garth Brooks’ Friends in Low Places bar will donate proceeds to her Imagination Library. And San Francisco will have a daytime celebration with live music.

Celebrate Dolly Parton Day with love and kindly. Basically treat people how you would want to be treated. Rest in peace Dolly.

This is not going to sit well with Ella’s fellas.

So, Ella Langley and Tucker Wetmore are apparently dating now. “People” magazine says the rumors are true. Ella and Tucker are dating. They first sparked rumors back in December when they were seen at a bar in the British Virgin Islands together.

Ella and her fella were seen leaving the Nashville Songwriter Awards on Tuesday night. In which she was awarded Song of the Year for…you guessed it, “Choosin‘ Texas”.

Now I don’t want to assume things here…but maybe they were just at that award show as friends and just happened to hitch a ride together? Maybe. Okay they’re probably dating.

Man’s best friend is showing the world the best diet.

Move over ozempic. This is where you eat the smell of the food and not the actual food. German Shepherds and dogs in general are special creatures to say the least.

If it’s okay for Stella Lefty to get #1 song on country radio copying other artists songs…and I love Stella by the way…then this parody of “Boston” is a hit.

Now I say that considering there’s also a lot of garbage on country radio and this parody is in way shape or form a kid friendly song, but it’s catchy. It’s explicit adult content and vulgar, but it could be nice to hear between the “pretend country music” that they play on mainstream country radio to be honest.

I believe this parody is called “Run A Back To Boston”…but I could be wrong.
