Hillbilly Live!

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.

When the say, “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”, in this particular case it absolutely needs to stay in Vegas.

A Las Vegas country singer named Cali Tucker is going viral for her bizarre performance of Luke Combs’ “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma”. Now her vocals are great, but her stage setup is what had people disturbed.

She sang while sitting on an acrobatic performer who was walking around on all fours…on stilts…while dressed like a horse. One fan commented, “what in the sleep paralysis is happening?”

I mean seriously, what in the actual hell is this?

This is what makes the internet amazing to me.

Here’s a cure for your case of another day of adulting. This adorable weenie dog went viral for all of the right reasons. This dog likes dancing to Alabama’s “Mountain Music”. He’s propped up on his hind legs and pumping his paws to the beat of the music in the video.

His owner captioned the video saying, “when your dog hears ‘Mountain Music’ and turns into a full-blown road trip hype man.” God bless this little dog too.

When you’re a word traveler…it’s good to try some new things while you’re in a foreign country.

Jake Worthington was Australia for CMC Rocks QLD, which is Australia’s premier international country music festival and the largest of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. The 2026 festival, which recently concluded, took place from Friday, March 20th to Sunday, March 22nd, 2026, at Willowbank Raceway in Ipswich, Queensland.

Jake decided to try some local food while he was there, as he tried some vegemite on toast. And I’ve never personally heard of that. So, he’s a brave man to me…and it went exactly how you’d except.

After taking his first bite he said, “this is not chicken on a biscuit buddy.” And being from Texas myself, I felt that.

At least no one can say Jake didn’t try something new while he was in Australia.
