Wynonna shared on social media that this is the most personal record she’s ever made — songs about where she’s been, what she’s lost, what she’s survived, and who she’s become. She said this album forced her to let go of perfection, embrace honesty, and tell the truth… even when her voice shook. And her hope? That these songs help someone feel seen, understood, or a little less alone. The album drops October 2nd, and the lead single Kentucky Queen is already out now.

If this is Wynonna at her most real — yeah, I’m absolutely ready to hear it.

Pre-order limited edition color vinyl in her webstore HERE. Wynonna will also host a Talk Shop Live event on June 15 where she’ll chat directly with fans about the new album as she autographs exclusive vinyl and CD offerings.

Cody was in radio at an early age. For over 30 years he was the host of WSM Radio’s morning show, Coffee, Country & Cody. He was inducted into the Country Radio Hall of Fame, has a star on Music City Walk of Fame just to name a few. He was also the long-running announcer for the Grand Ole Opry. Those that have attended shows probably heard him announce.

Garth Brooks said, “There might be someone somewhere in the world who loved country music as much, but nobody loved country music more than Bill Cody.”

Last month Bill was in the critical condition and could only survey if he received heart and kidney transplants. He daughter asked for prayers in hopes that this would happen. Sadly he passed away at the age of 67.

Country artists really are at their best when it comes to connecting with fans. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to meet several, and one thing always stands out—they’re genuinely kind, down-to-earth people. It’s even more meaningful when they continue to show that same authenticity on stage.

Take Dylan Scott, for example. While out on tour, he spotted a young boy in the crowd—probably around 9 or 10 years old—holding a sign that read: “My mom said she’ll buy me a truck when I turn 16 if I can get on stage and sing ‘New Truck’ with you.”

Not only did Dylan invite him up, but the kid absolutely owned the moment. He sang his heart out and worked the stage like a pro—right alongside Dylan himself. It was one of those unforgettable moments that perfectly captures why country music fans feel such a strong connection to their favorite artists.

Moments like this are worth checking out.

If you didn’t know, March 10 is officially Mario Day. When you shorten March to MAR and add today’s date (10), it spells MAR10 — which looks just like Mario!

To celebrate the day, Nintendo and Illumination dropped the final trailer for the highly anticipated new film The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which is set to hit theaters on April 1st.

And that’s not the only Mario fun coming up.

NBC will also air the 2023 blockbuster The Super Mario Bros. Movie on Saturday, March 21 at 7pm, giving fans another chance to watch the hit film from home.

Along with the new trailer, Nintendo is celebrating Mario Day with special deals, exclusive content, and more for fans. If you want to see everything they have planned for the celebration, check it out here.

Over the year or so, there have been some rumors that maybe FGL could reunite. We have a little bit more fuel to go by now that it, in fact, could happen. Brian Kelly recently did an interview on the “Country Outdoors” podcast. He talked about where he and Tyler Hubbard stand now and what’s next for both of them. “You know, right now, I think just working on our brotherhood will lead its way home. So we’ll see. But right now… I think we’re both focused on the friendship and working on our own stuff still.”

Check out the interview below to hear him talk about it.

We don’t do ‘She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy’ this year.

Wait What??? was my first reaction. That also didn’t sit well with the hosts as they started to sing the song. I mean every single Kenny concert I have attended ends with that song. It’s a tradition in my mind. So we will see if Kenny may sing it Saturday night by chance. If you want to go see him. You can still get tickets for the show HERE.

Well, the whole experience was overwhelming to me because it really just showed my life just flashing before my eyes. People talk about when you’re dying, that your life flashes before you. I was looking for the pearly gates when I fishied. I’m like, ‘Is it my time?’  – Dolly Parton from Parade interview

She went on in the interview to talk about her friend the late Kenny Rogers, who she loved dearly. In the exhibit, they feature their friendship/relationship and the song “You Can’t Make Old Friend” which made everything extremely emotional.
