The ACM Honors are happening on Wednesday, August 23, 2023, and I have your honoree preview. Tim McGraw, Chris Stapleton, Clint Black, and Mary Chapin Carpenter are a few of this year’s recipients. Carly Pearce returns to host for the third time - listen to the preview now!

The second single from The Warren Brothers provides a relief to the glossy and overproduced country music of the late '90s. "Better Man" from their debut album Beautiful Day in a Cruel World lands on this countdown at #87.

If there's a country album from the past year that you need to listen to, it's Julie Roberts' "Ain't In No Hurry." Produced by Shooter Jennings and Erin Enderlin, the collection is unlike anything we've heard from the singer on her previous efforts. While it was nearly a decade in-between full-fledged albums, the wait was worth it.

The Chicks World Tour made its way to Louisville, Kentucky, on July 25, 2023. With a setlist comprised of selections from each of their five studio albums, it's a show that every fan should see! I share my highlights in this country music podcast.

Diving into the current state and what's happening at country radio in this podcast.

Crossover songs are ruling from Jelly Roll, Parmalee, and Luke Combs but at what point are songs no longer considered country?

Country's leading females - Lainey Wilson, Kelsea Ballerini, Ashley McBryde, and Carly Pearce - deliver the best of the genre.

New songs from Chris Janson, Brothers Osborne, and Darius Rucker are poised for strong finishes.

Penned for a '90s TV movie, "xxx's and ooo's (An American Girl)" by Trisha Yearwood becomes a staple of country music. The movie? It wasn't so acclaimed. But was it really as bad as it sounded? I'll give you my review!

Conway Twitty left a legacy of hundreds of songs, many of which were chart-toppers. His reign continued throughout the early '90s when he was scoring big hits amid the Hot New Country wave. "She's Got A Man On Her Mind" would become his final top thirty hit in 1991 and it ranks at #88 in this podcast mini-series.

Kimberly Perry releases the most personal project of her career titled "Bloom." As she begins her solo career, she looks back at the journey here through "If I Die Young Part II," a beautiful ode to her award-winning single that sold over five million copies during her stance as lead singer for The Band Perry. We'll dive into "Bloom" and revisit the monumental time period when we were first introduced to Kimberly Perry at country radio.
