Releasing Little Crosses in the dead of summer is smart timing for Joe Stamm and Co. This is a summer album full of serious heartland rock, songs that stoke sentimental memories, and a little bit of recklessness to make it ripe to bark at the moon and drive too fast to, basking in the moments that warm summer evenings are most agreeable for.
The opening song “Territory Town” might as well be straight from the John Cougar Mellencamp catalog, or Springsteen’s mid-career output. Despite it’s familiar and reminiscent charm, it’s ultimately one of the lightweights in the track list if anything as Stamm does what he does best, which is strike you with observational lyricism wrapped into compelling storytelling. Those two new song are what Joe is sharing with us on our ‘Facebook Post of the Night’

Releasing 'Little Crosses' in the dead of summer is smart timing for Stamm and Co. This is a summer album full of serious heartland rock, songs that stoke sentimental memories, and a little bit of recklessness.

Jordan Davis brings heartbreak to life in a unique way with the release of his brand-new music video for “Bar None.”
The video opens with Davis alone in a dimly lit bar, surrounded by moody neon lights and stained glass windows, seemingly reflecting on the pain of a recent breakup. As the emotion builds, so does the intensity of the video. Suddenly, the walls, floor, and ceiling begin collapsing inward, as if the weight of his heartache is literally closing in on him.
“Bar None” is Davis’ current single from his highly anticipated new album, Learn The Hard Way, which arrives on August 15. Check out the video on our ‘Facebook Post of the Night’

Riley Green recalls how a day of fishing with Luke Bryan led to a collaboration on his latest album.
“That was one of the first things we did together was go fishing in his lake, you know, down south in Nashville,” Green revealed. We had a great time. He’s such an easy dude to hang out with, you know, and him growing up in Georgia, I mean, we grew up the same way, so we immediately hit it off.”
“And probably that fishing trip is why he was the first person I sent this song to when I wrote it. I just texted him and it worked out,” Listen to ‘Reel Problems on our ‘Facebook Post of the Night’

Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, rose to fame in the 1980s with his All-American “Hulkamania” persona and played a significant role in transforming WWE. And speaking of the ’80s, Hogan made an appearance while he was in his prime on Dolly Parton’s variety show.
Those are two things that don’t seem like they belong in the same sentence, eh?
In a recap episode of her variety show, they revisited one of the first episodes, where Dolly wrote a song called “He’s Got A Headlock On My Heart.” For the skit, she was appropriately a fan girl of the ever-popular WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan.
“I’m going to do something now that we have had so many requests for. On my very first show, I did a video with Hulk Hogan, and it was for a song I wrote called ‘He’s Got A Headlock On My Heart.’
And I wrote that because in one of those gossip magazines, you know, where they tell everything that ain’t true… Well, they predicted I would fall in love with a 300-pound wrestler and make a video and all of that.
I thought it was great, and the people wanted to see it again. We’ve gotten so many calls.

Riley Green surprised fans on Friday with the release of a new acoustic EP, Midtown Sessions.
The stripped down set features five tracks, including a cover of Tim McGraw’s classic “The Cowboy In Me.”
Inspired by his love for ‘90s country, the EP takes things back to the basics, stripping away the noise and allowing Green’s Alabama-bred vocals to shine.
“I have always loved the acoustic versions of songs so I cut a few for y’all just the way I wrote them,” Green shared of the project. I have the Tim McGraw cover on our ‘Facebook Post of the Night’

“A red head, a blonde, and a… dirty blonde walk into a studio.”
Last month, Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert and Lainey Wilson teamed up for a new single “Trailblazer,” a day after debuting the song at the ACM Awards. And recently, the powerhouse trio dropped a new video taking fans behind the scenes of the writing and recording process that went into creating the new song.
Released back in early May, “Trailblazer” was a captivating collaboration that celebrated the path that past country artists had paved for new artists. I have videos of the making of “Trailblazer,” the video of the studio version and the live performance from the ACM’s all on my ‘Facebook Post of the Day’

Colby Acuff has done it again with his newest single, “Average American.” Colby is highlighting the American dream, or what it’s reality looks like. It’s no secret that being a young adult in today’s world is not always the most glamorous. Folks are in debt, falling out of love, and getting divorced, renting forever because owning a house is not as achievable for some in today’s society. Give it a listen on our ‘Facebook Post of the Night’
