NEW ALBUM "LEARN THE HARD WAY" OUT NOW!!!!

It won't be a shock to many of you that I think the singles Jordan has been putting out are all 🔥 but let me tell you now the album as a whole is brilliant! PLUS tour coming next year!!!

Multi-platinum award-winning singer/songwriter Jordan Davis today released his highly anticipated third album, Learn The Hard Way, via MCA. Hailed as a “modern-day storyteller” (Billboard) and “one of the leading talents in a new wave of American country music” (BBC News), Davis has amassed over 8.4 billion career streams, earned multiple CMA and ACM Awards, including “Song of the Year” for two different songs off of one album, and solidified his place as “one of country music’s most consistent hitmakers” (CountryLine).

Learn The Hard Way includes Davis' record-breaking 8 week No.1 hit at UK Country Radio, “I Ain’t Sayin’”, as well as Davis' current Top 10 single “Bar None”, the critically acclaimed track “Turn This Truck Around”, and a selection as Disc of the Week.

His global Ain’t Enough Road headlining tour, launches in the US on September 11th, before making its way to Europe in February 2026. For tickets and additional information, including all tour dates and opening support for the Ain’t Enough Road tour, visit www.jordandavisofficial.com.

💔 Remembering Jeannie Seely 💔
1940–2025 “Miss Country Soul” — trailblazer, hitmaker, Opry legend, and country music icon.

We’re sad to share the passing of Jeannie Seely at age 85 — a true force in country music whose voice, spirit, and presence changed the genre forever.

Jeannie’s breakthrough came in 1966 with “Don’t Touch Me,” a Grammy-winning ballad that helped earn her the nickname “Miss Country Soul.” With a torch-like vocal style and a songwriter’s eye for honesty, she gave voice to heartbreak, independence, and raw emotion — and opened the door for generations of women to follow.

She joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1967 and went on to become one of its most enduring figures — not just a performer, but a pillar of the institution. She holds the record for the most Opry performances in history — 5,397 — and in 1985, she became the first woman ever to host a segment of the show.

For Jeannie, the Opry was more than a stage — it was family. “I knew at eight years old what I wanted to be,” she once said. “And I knew I wanted to be at the Opry.”

She didn’t just belong — she changed it. From her signature miniskirts and go-go boots to her fearless voice and undeniable stage presence, Seely helped bring a new, modern energy to the Opry and country music at large.

As news of her passing spread, her longtime friend Dolly Parton posted:
“She was one of my dearest friends. I think she was one of the greatest singers in Nashville and she had a wonderful sense of humour””…

Jeannie passed away in hospital in Hermitage, Tennessee, from an intestinal infection, just months after losing her beloved husband Gene Ward to cancer.

The Grand Ole Opry’s performance on August 2 will be dedicated to her memory.

Jeannie Seely was unsinkable — and unforgettable. A voice like hers doesn’t fade. It lingers, it uplifts, and it reminds us what country music is really about: truth, heart, and soul. 🤍

Rest easy, Jeannie. Your neon light will shine forever.
