Kacey Musgraves described her experience with three bright, color-changing orbs that flew in shifting formations, stating they were 'not moving like any craft that we can control.'

Booking shows is not a career for the faint of heart. Beyond coordinating schedules, hosting live music night after night requires a skilled ear behind the sound board to make sure the drums don't overpower the bass, and that the vocals don't overpower the drums.

Despite the injury, he remains fully mobile and in good spirits as he continues his recovery. Stevens still plans to release his upcoming album, 'Favorites Old & New,' this Friday.

The Way I Am plays like an hour of prime contemporary country radio: It hits the expected marks crisply and efficiently, sometimes even memorably.

"Where else are you gonna get so many choices with just a little Cash?" he asks during the spot, donning his signature black suit and wielding his guitar while a giant screen behind him flashes close-ups of bean and cheese burritos and hard-shell tacos.

The 73-year-old Grammy winner prefers to keep his personal life extra private, so there is little publicly known information about the real estate that Strait has owned since he landed in the spotlight with his first major label single, "Unwound," in 1981. ("I've never been one to like to talk about myself a lot," Strait said in 2017.)

Thanksgiving did not go the way that Frank Ray had anticipated. The country singer had invited his family up from Texas to Tennessee for the holiday, with plans to deep fry a turkey, explore Nashville, and take in a show at the Grand Ole Opry. But on Thanksgiving morning, Ray received an unsettling call: TSA had flagged his sister's husband, Juan Nevarez-Porras, at El Paso international airport due to insufficient documentation required to fly.

I'm blessed to have T Bone in my life right now and working with me on these records. After we did the last record, which I love listening to, this one just sort of happened. I like to say sometimes I make the right moves, like you can go left or right at any point, and one of the right moves was hooking up with T Bone for Look Up, and now for this one, which I'm calling Long Long Road, because I've been on a long long road.

Sedaka got his breakthrough as a performer with 1958's The Diary—inspired when Connie Francis refused to let him and songwriting partner Howard Greenfield scour her diary for inspiration. Oh! Carol, meanwhile, was a paean to Sedaka's ex-girlfriend Carol Klein—the irrepressibility of the melody at odds with the misery in the lyrics (I am but a fool!). Klein was impressed enough to write an answer song, Oh! Neil, which she recorded under her new pen name: Carole King.

Tim McGraw has announced the "Pawn Shop Guitar Tour," a 33-date outing across North America this summer. The tour includes a trio of stadium dates at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, PA; Fenway Park in Boston, MA; and Target Field in Minneapolis, MA, with very special guests The Chicks and Lady A. 49 Winchester and Timothy Wayne will also join McGraw for select dates over the course of the run.

49 Winchester will release their new album Change of Plans on May 15 via Lucille Records / MCA. It's their first record for a major label after two on New West, and they made it with producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson). The album includes their cover of Black Sabbath's "Changes," which was released back in November, and the new single from the album is the anthemic rocker "Pardon Me." Watch the video below.

"I think this year will probably be it," Henley stated. "And I've said things like that before, but I feel like we're getting toward the end and that will be fine, too." When asked to confirm whether 2026 will be the end of the Eagles, he added, "I'm okay with that."

Jeff Hanna, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band founder and de facto leader, is tucked into a nondescript booth at El Palenque, a 30-years-plus local restaurant in a Nashville strip mall, talking about "Nashville Skyline," a pensive track from their EP, "Night After Night." The family-owned Mexican restaurant is the kind of place he's gravitated toward since starting a jug band with friends in Long Beach before migrating to Los Angeles' folk/rock scene.
