22 Country Music Murder Ballads
From Lefty Frizzell to Carrie Underwood, country stars have always written about murder. Murder ballads about men who do away with their female love interests are abundant, but there's also a whole lot of great songs about the women who kill -- or have others kill for them. Here are the 22 best songs about, disposing of the man in your life. All 22 are on my ‘Facebook Post of the Day’

Murder ballads are a centerpiece of classic country, and while most of the killers are male, there's still plenty of tracks about women who kill. The Chicks, Martina McBride, Reba McEntire and Kaitlin Butts are just a few who made this list.

Charles Wesley Godwin’s latest single, a collaboration with Luke Combs called “Better That Way,” is out now.
The West Virginia native opened up for Luke on his Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old stadium tour back in 2024. Charles first opened for Luke nearly 10 years ago, in January 2016 at a bar called Schmitt’s Saloon ingodwin’s hometown of Morgantown, West Virginia.
Hopefully though, adding Luke to the song provides an opportunity for Charles to finally get a radio hit and show everybody else what they’ve been missing. You can hear it now on my ‘Facebook Post of the Night’

A RIFF on what country is really about.

5/28/26- UPDATE from MN Energy from gas leak in Windom:

The outage was caused when a construction crew, not affiliated with Minnesota Energy Resources, hit one of our underground natural gas lines.

Our crews worked overnight(5/27/26-5/28/26) to repair the damage and started restoring service to customers early this morning. We visited all customers throughout the day.

According to MN Energy representative, Brendan, "specific to the concern of hot water, there was an apartment building that we could not get access to until this afternoon. However service to the hot water heater was restored around 4:30 PM".

Any customer who was impacted by this event and does not have service restored should call us at 1-800-889-9508.

Cody Johnson aka CoJo came up via the Texas scene, cultivating strong grassroots support before ever courting Nashville to take it national. Even if his industry support imploded tomorrow, Johnson would still have a strong fan base to fall back on. Johnson’s also not a radio star, propped up by the well-ordered carousel of #1’s that guarantee a single hits the top spot.

And most importantly, Cody Johnson is actually country, traditional country in many of his songs, but with a pragmatic sensibility that the masses have found favor with. And now that traditional country continues to surge in popularity, Cody Johnson could be poised to take this thing to an entirely new level.

Ahead of Johnson being considered for Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the year on Sunday’s ACM Awards, he’s released the track list and further details for his upcoming album Banks Of The Trinity, which references the river that snakes through east Texas that Johnson grew up around. The 16-track album will be released on June 26th, and once again is produced by Trent Willmon.

ALERT: 5/27/26
Windom Residents: Please be aware of another gas leak related to construction near the intersection of 9th Street and 1st Avenue.
Businesses directly affected by the leak have already closed for the evening. However, Hy-Vee and the highway remain open.
According to Assistant Fire Chief Jordan Bussa, there is currently no estimated repair time, but crews are hopeful the issue will be resolved by morning.
A quick note for residents: if you notice a gas smell in the area, officials say you are likely smelling the odorant added to natural gas to help detect leaks. At this time, it is not believed to be a cause for concern. Crews continue to monitor the situation.
Please use caution and avoid the affected area if possible.

Landman star Billy Bob Thornton has teamed with one of his hit TV show's co-stars to form a country duo called Backbeat Troubadours.
Their first song pays tribute to race car driver Bobby Rahal.
Season 3 of Landman (Paramount+) is believed to be slated for the Fall of 2026, although no official timetable has been released.
Backbeat Troubadours have signed to Big Machine Records, owned by Scott Borchetta.
The first song is called “True American Racer (500 Miles),” and it features Slash on guitar.
Billy Bob Thornton and Mark Collie form Backbeat Troubadours. It's hardly the first foray into music for either man.
Collie plays Sheriff Walt Joeberg on Landman. His character has an uneasy friendship with Thornton's Tommy Norris, mostly because Tommy is often trying to skirt the law.
Country fans may recall Collie's catalog of early 1990s hits, including "Born to Love You" and "Even the Man on the Moon Is Cryin'."
He's continued to release music well into the 2020s.
Thornton has also released several country and country-rock albums, both as a solo artist and as leader of the Boxmasters. They've enjoyed niche success nationwide as they produced music and toured for most of 20 years.
Watch the video for “True American Racer” on my ‘Facebook Post of the Night’
