Blake Shelton‘s “Stay Country or Die Tryin’” video is out! The video for the song, from his latest For Recreational Use Only album, premiered on Times Square in New York City.
The cinematic video shows a home and family evolve throughout seven generations, backed by Shelton’s pure country vocals.
“When I heard ‘Stay Country or Die Tryin’,’ it took me back to the first time I heard ‘Ol’ Red’ or ‘God’s Country,’” says Shelton. “It’s full of energy and packed with those sayings and moments that feel like home to me. I love singing this one live—it’s a blast.” Check it out on our ‘Facebook post of the Night’

Blake Shelton's new video is SO good!

George Strait, the King of country music, has a lot of number-one hits under his belt. Throughout his career, he’s had 60 number-one hits, and John Prine is arguably the most prolific songwriter of our generation. He was an integral figure in the city’s folk revival scene of the 1960s. In 1986, John Prine and Roger Cook got together and wrote an island breeze-inspired love song that would appear on his record German Afternoons. The tune they penned would later be picked up by George Strait in 1998 and recorded. That song is his number one hit, “I Just Want To Dance With You.” I have both John Prine and George’s version on our ‘Facebook Post of the Night’

During the 2015 Gershwin Prize Tribute Concert in Washington, D.C. (where the great Willie Nelson received the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song), Alison Krauss and Jamey Johnson took the stage to perform a duet of the 1984 classic “Seven Spanish Angels.”
In 2015, Willie was of course sitting in the audience, and he had all he could do to fight back the tears during the moving performance. I mean, Willie, Jamey, Alison, a Gospel choir in the background… Takin’ us to church on or ‘Facebook post of the Night’

Baylee Littrell is stepping into what he calls a “rebirth” of his musical career, and it all starts with his brand-new single, “Hey Jesus.”
The world first heard Littrell’s powerful storytelling within “Hey Jesus” during his time as a contestant on American Idol. He took the stage during Hollywood Week to sing his original tune and earned strong praise from both the judges and America who watched from home.If you missed it I have the studio version on out ‘Facebook Post of the Night’

“It's really impactful…It's unexpected and it's a different route than what I've tried before, so I'm very, very excited for it.”

Russell Dickerson is ready to show fans exactly where he came from and who he’s become with his fourth studio album, FAMOUS BACK HOME. In a new announcement, the viral country act revealed that the brand-new project will arrive August 22 via Triple Tigers. Keep reading to find out everything we know about the album so far.
featured is his latest release, “Heard It In A Country Song,” a swagger-filled, throwback anthem that tips its hat to themes found in ‘90s country songs like barbecue stains, grape snow cones, and watermelon crawl. As he pays tribute to the classics, Dickerson uses his signature energy to follow in the same mission of reflecting on love, celebrating small-town pride and highlighting life’s simple pleasures. The tune was co-written by Dickerson, Chase McGill, Chris LaCorte, and Parker Welling.Check it on our ‘Facebook Post of the Night’

This highly anticipated project is set to arrive on August 22, 2025.
