One Marvel Cinematic Universe star said it out loud: he’s ready to work with Taylor Sheridan. The actor reportedly confessed he’d “do anything” to join Sheridan’s storytelling world. And frankly speaking, there’s no better fit for Tulsa King Season 3.

With the show’s mix of streetwise muscle and emotional depth, this MCU alum brings just the perfect blend of charisma, edge, and firepower to shake things up alongside Sylvester Stallone’s Dwight Manfredi. If Ts is listening, he might’ve just found the missing piece to take Tulsa King to the next level.

Post Malone and Zach Top don’t seem like they would pair well together as their styles are completely different. Zach has historically been praised for reviving a traditional country sound into mainstream country music. Post Malone is known for his tattoo and transition from pop into country. However, Malone often collaborates with many big pop country stars and some country music legends. Zach and Malone agreed to collaborate on a classic country music song.

Malone And Top Have A History

Post Malone often pays tribute to country music legends. He has covered Hank Williams and George Straight, as well as recording collab projects with many others. Post jumped into country music at a time when many pop stars were transitioning to the genre, however, his music quickly set him apart from other country converts. Indeed, Malone respects and appreciates the roots of the country music genre. Which is one...

The Country Music Association announced the nominees for The 57th Annual CMA Awards, set to air live from Nashville on Wednesday, Nov. 8 from 8 p.m. – 11 p.m., Est. The show will be hosted by Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning.

Bowie has been credited as an unlikely writer on the song, as well.

“When I first heard this song, I immediately connected with the groove and the lyrics with nods to so many things I can personally relate to,” Young said in a statement. “It made me...

Blake Shelton stays busy with his music career, a bit of acting and a lot of career coaching on “The Voice.” He’s been on the series since the beginning, and his picks have won nine times and counting over the show’s 22 seasons. But despite his busy schedule, he returns to his Oklahoma roots time and time again for relaxation and philanthropy.

Though Shelton moved to Nashville after high school, he remains connected his home state with a 1,300 acre ranch near the town of Tishomingo. As an avid outdoorsman, it stands to reason that he’d support nonprofits with the same values.

The Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Foundation launched about four years ago and Shelton was one of the first to come on board with his support. While the organization is part of the State Department with a mission to protect, preserve and conserve wildlife and natural spaces, they don...

Jeff Carson, who had 14 songs make it onto the Billboard’s country music charts, died Saturday in a Franklin, Tn, hospital from a heart attack, his publicist said. He was 58.

Carson had hits with “Not On Your Love,” (a No. 1) and “The Car” (in the top five) before leaving the music industry and becoming a police officer. He recently started recording again and released a single in what amounted to a small comeback.

Born Jeffrey Lee Herndon in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1963, Carson sang in church and formed a band in Rogers, Arkansas, before moving to Branson, Missouri, becoming a local attraction in the music town.

Carson then moved to Nashville and recorded demos for Tracy Lawrence, Reba McEntire, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and other country stars. He received his own recording contract at Curb Records in 1995, and released a single, “Yeah Buddy.” He...

Former HoneyHoney member Suzanne Santo releases her second solo album Yard Sale on August 27th, and the song “Mercy” reflects on a series of realizations in her young life: understanding mercy, darkness, and changing.

Alabama have been celebrating 50 years together as a band with a tour announced back in 2018.

The country group of Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry, and Jeff Cook announced a new string of dates on Monday.

Beginning next month with a pair of shows on July 2nd and 3rd in Nashville, the tour will visit states like Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Texas and run into 2022. Martina McBride is set to open the Nashville dates,...

Three of country music’s most popular male artists will headline the 2021 Faster Horses Festival. Luke Combs, Jason Aldean, and Thomas Rhett will each close out a night of the three-day Brooklyn, Michigan, country gathering.

Set for July 16th through 18th, Faster Horses 2021 is essentially the 2020 edition, at least in terms of headliners — Combs, Aldean, and Rhett were all slated to anchor last year’s fest, which, like so many other live events, was derailed by the pandemic.

“So the house lights will be up. I’ll take a look around, maybe raise up the ‘Cheers!’” Dierks Bentley says, taking a break from strumming his acoustic guitar to lift a can of peach-pear Lacroix to eye level and predict how a live audience might react after a year without concerts. “They may look at us like we’re idiots.”

A little boy once said “I see dead people”. In The Voices we have a little girl who can hear dead people. For better or for worse, this film is very much in the M. Night vein.

The Voices kicks off with two ladies restrained in a Saw-esque torture-basement before moving back in time to a little girl, seemingly receiving therapy from a young lady wearing sunglasses (while indoors). I am not a therapist, but I would imagine hiding your eyes from your patient is probably the last thing you would want to do. Having said all that, it turns out our therapist is blind, so that told me. We then have a rather confusing flashback after a flashback.

When David Ball’s single “Thinkin’ Problem” hit country radio in the spring of 1994, it played alongside tunes by neo-traditionalists Tracy Lawrence, Mark Chesnutt, and Alan Jackson. Yet even then it seemed like an anomaly.

With Ball’s a cappella delivery of the opening line, “Yes, I admit I got a thinkin’ problem,” sung with the hard-edged twang of a Buck Owens-George Strait hybrid, the song, written by Ball with Allen Shamblin and Stuart Ziff, was the first taste of mainstream country success for the Spartanburg, South Carolina,...

“I think I oughta say something about that song now,” Don Williams would tell concertgoers between the tunes he’d play while seated on a stool, guitar in hand. “I’ll think of something and say it later.” The joke being that country’s “Gentle Giant” would rarely get around to saying much, preferring instead to let the lyrics, and his warm, blanketing baritone do the talking, with his onstage motion mostly limited to moving effortlessly from one familiar hit to the next. Williams, who died in 2017 at 78, will be...

One of the most influential country and bluegrass singers of his generation, Keith Whitley will be remembered on the 30th anniversary of his untimely death with an all-star concert featuring Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Mark Chesnutt, Tracy Lawrence, Joe Diffie and more.

One of the most influential acts of the last half-century in country music, Alabama will reach that same milestone with their 50th Anniversary Tour, a trek that will keep the trio on the road throughout the new year. Joining the Country Music Hall of Fame members on select dates are Chris Janson, Tracy Lawrence, Restless Heart, Exile, Charlie Daniels Band, the Marshall Tucker Band and the Oak Ridge Boys.

Formed in 1969 in Fort Payne, Alabama, the group played the nearby (now defunct) Canyon Land amusement park on weekends, before making their way to Myrtle Beach,...

Mazie Bunn has Chiari malformation, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and epilepsy. Mazie loves country music and wanted to experience Nashville.

Mazie felt like a celebrity… Emerald Luxury Transportation chauffeured them in a Mercedes-Benz limousine to the Grand Ole Opry for her harmonious night of country superstars. They also had seats with amazing views of the stage for performances by Rascal Flatts, Ashley McBryde, Tracy Lawrence, The Whites, Levi Hummon who performed his new song “Patient” before its official release, Dustin Lynch, Rita Wilson who was debuting at the Opry, and the Del McCoury Band.
