The world has lost a light, and of the most unique, interesting, compelling, challenging, mercurial, iconoclastic, and influential songwriters to ever ply the craft. Todd Snider wasn’t just a singer of songs…
Colter Wall doesn’t just play the music, he champions it. He embraces it. He sells its virtues to the audience. That’s what Colter does for traditional country songs on “Memories and Empties.”
As predicted, the matter of AI artists infiltrating Billboard’s country charts and the music industry in general has gone from bad to absolutely catastrophic in the matter of a singular human-measured week.
What is it about the Grammy system that doesn’t allow that one consensus album of a given year to rise to the top like it should, like it didn’t for the Turnpike Troubadours in 2025?
It’s a rarity that that folks can convince Colter Wall to come out of the saddle and play some shows for folks. But with his new album on the way, he’s planning a big tour in early 2026 to help support it.
Drake Milligan isn’t just ready to follow the neotraditional country resurgence, he’s ready to lead it. With his new album “Tumbleweed,” making it two for two with quality albums.

There’s few experiences like seeing the Turnpike Troubadours in concert, and you just got a few more chances to see them as they’ve extended their “Wild America” tour into 2026.
The curse is cast with AI and recorded music. But how about we make this one, easily implementable concession to the human creators who rely on recorded music to make a sustainable living.
There are no big questions asked in ‘Enjoy The Ride.’ But in some ways, the biggest questions of all are answered through it. Life is life. You’re dealt a set of cards, and you do the best you can with them.
It might be an awkward Thanksgiving around the Nelson household. Actually, probably not. They seem like the kind of clan that’s not especially competitive with each other and is more supportive.
The gall on these tech pirates trying to pass off AI slop as “country” music. Rest assured you’ll only find 100% Certified genuine human emotions straight from the heart on this playlist.
