Looks like Morgan Wallen is ready to drop some new music any day now. Of course, he released his monster fourth studio album I’m The Problem in May of 2025, and he did go on a 20-show tour of the same name last year too, but since then, he’s been pretty quiet, though he did put out a studio cut of his cover of “Graveyard Whistling” in October of last year, which fans thought could potentially be part of a deluxe edition of I’m The Problem, but that hasn’t proven to be the case, at least not yet. He said not long ago that he was ready to start teasing some new music, though, and that time has come, as he just shared a teaser of an unreleased song on his social media accounts, which finds him coming to the realization that he’s in a relationship that’s no longer working… because “if it was meant to be, it we’d have been by now”: “No we don’t even fight like we used to We don’t even care enough to cry no more It’s been a hundred nights since I knew you How long we gonna keep looking at that door? If it was meant to be we’d have been by now We wouldn’t have to keep trying to work things out Yeah baby we’re a freeze when the lights go down It wouldn’t be so hard when we ain’t in the dark If we were in the stars they’d have lined right up Yeah maybe from the start we’ve been trying too much I know you wanna think that it’s what we found But if it was meant to be be we’d have been by now Been by now” It has that heavily pop-influenced production that Morgan often infuses into his music, and of course, it’s very catchy, and I’m sure fans are ready for him to put out as soon as possible. It’s unclear what the name of the song is, and who the writers are, but if he’s teasing it on socials I have to imagine that the full version will be out sooner rather than later.

I might actually watch The Voice this season for the first time ever. Riley Green will join the show as a judge for Season 30 of the reality singing competition show, where he will be joined by fellow judges Kelly Clarkson, Adam Levine and Queen Latifah. He says he just met Queen Latifah for the first time last weekend, and he has yet to meet Adam, so fans will really get to know each of them, and their dynamic as a whole, in realtime when the show actually airs sometime this fall. And while he’s never done anything like this for in terms of judging a reality TV singing competition, Riley did make his acting debut on the TV show Marshals a few months ago, and during an appearance on Country Countdown USA, he says he felt like he was already busy before Marshals, so now, it’s going to all be taken up a notch: “I feel that way. I’ve taken on a lot of new ventures. I wasn’t hurting for things to do already. But it’s been a lot of fun. I got a taste of it with Marshals. I thought I was busy before that.” He also revealed that there were two different appearances that led him to secure The Voice gig, which will definitely bring him a ton of exposure and introduce him to a much more mainstream crowd, even though he’s already a country star. The first was a Q&A he did before he performed at the Grammy Museum in LA, and the second was a spot he did on Jimmy Fallon, when he taught him how to use a duck call, and producers got to see his personality on full display. They were apparently looking for someone kind of like former judge Blake Shelton in terms of the humor spot, and after watching him at those two events, execs were sold: “There were mentions that there was interest that I might be a possible candidate. We were in LA and I did a show at the Grammy Museum, and we did a Q&A before the show. We had a good rapport, and that got me the job. The personality that Blake had is what they’re looking for. I also did a spot on Jimmy Fallon, where I got to visit with him and teach him a duck call. Those two things got me the job.” Riley definitely has a great sense of humor, similar to Shelton, which you can hear in a lot of his music, and so I think he’s a great choice for the role, if you will, and it will be really interesting to see how he goes about all of this as he mentors young, up-and-coming artists from all genres. While they haven’t started filming yet, Riley says he’s met The Voice team and he will be watching episodes of Blake from the Vice and Luke Bryan on American Idol to help him figure out how to go about all of it: “They haven’t. We start filming in the next couple months. I don’t know what to expect except I know how the chair works. I haven’t met any of the other coaches yet. Kelly called me when I got the job. She’s a country fan, and I know she’s covered some of my songs. I’m not sure about any of it, it’s such a different thing. But I’ve met the team, and I know what they need from me. It’s helpful to watch Blake & Luke Bryan, because now I know how to go about it, and I’m excited about the coaching part of it.” Riley has obviously don a ton of media and live shows, but being on a major network television show is a whole different ball game, so to speak, and I have no doubt he will represent country music very well. On top of that new gig, Riley will release a new album called That’s Just Me on September 18th, and he already released the lead single “Think As You Drunk,” which he says has a music video coming soon that he filmed a this Nashville bar, Duck Blind: “‘I Ain’t As Think As You Drunk I Am.’ It’s a funny song. It’s gonna be a lot of fun. We shot the video outside my Nashville bar The Duck Blind. It’s nice to have a bar that you can’t get thrown out of. ‘My Way’ was a song that was featured in Marshals, and that’s on the album. So is ‘Think As You Drunk.’ The album’s done. We’re gonna be putting songs out from the album early, and then looking at announcing the album before too long with a date for everybody.” The tracklist is yet-to-be released, so stay tuned, because I have v feeling there might be a cool collab or two on there too… “Think As You Drunk” The post “Blake Shelton Personality”: Riley Green Reveals The 2 Appearances That Got Him His ‘The Voice’ Gig first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

The Atlanta Braves locker room is always welcoming of country music. Some members of the Braves recently sat down with us on the Whiskey Riff Raff podcast. Third baseman Austin Riley, utility player Kyle Farmer, and the voice of the Braves Radio Network, Ben Ingram, all carved time out of their 162-game schedule to talk about their favorite country artists, how the locker room is full of “Ella Fellas,” and how the Atlanta Braves and country music have always been intertwined. Austin Riley talked to us about how convenient it is for him that baseball season ends right when hunting season begins, Kyle Farmer (a Georgia native) discussed how fitting it is for him to be a member of the Braves at this point in his career, and Ben Ingram also gave some insight on how he takes care of his golden radio voice. But the through line of our conversation always came back to country music. Austin Riley told us that any type of country is good with him, but he does have some favorites: “I’m a big fan of Luke Combs. Pretty much everything that he sings is good. I like some Jason Aldean, I like a little bit of everything. Zach Top and Ella Langley too. All country is good with me.” @whiskeyriff @Atlanta Braves #austinriley #kylefarmer #whiskeyriff #whiskeyriffraff ♬ original sound – Whiskey Riff Luke Combs is evidently a very popular choice in the Braves locker room. Kyler Farmer said that he always finds time to work in country music, and he’s often partial to some of the greatest hits from the golden era of country: “I’m listening to Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen. Kind of your basic country, whoever is hot right now. ‘Where The Wild Things Are’ is still one of my favorite songs. My walkout song is ‘Still Going Down’ by Morgan Wallen… I’ll also hit up Spotify and go 90s country. Kind of play back the old ones. ‘Dust on the Bottle’ by David Lee Murphy, ‘That Ain’t My Truck’ by Rhett Atkins, ‘Chattahoochee’ by Alan Jackson, and ‘Watermelon Crawl’ by Tracy Byrd. When me and my buddy have one too many cocktails, we play ‘Watermelon Crawl.'” Sounds like Kyle Farmer knows his stuff. That likely explains why he and center fielder Michael Harris III are considered the “AUX masters” of the locker room. That’s at least what the Braves third baseman told us when he discussed what time of day the team usually cues up country: “We listen to a lot of country. It kind of depends on the time of day. Early on, it’s country. As we get closer to the game time, we kind of get into our mode and we get some upbeat stuff going.” Makes sense. But all in all, the entire team likes to listen to country. Farmer says there’s guys all throughout the roster and the club house that partake in the genre: “Michael Harris III loves country music, Austin Riley loves country music, obviously. Matt Olson too. I think it’s a good clubhouse with a lot of guys who kind of love really anything. But country music seems to be a theme around here, which is good.” Country music will definitely be the theme for Braves Country Fest. The celebration of country music – which takes place on June 13 at the Home of the Atlanta Braves – will feature a stacked lineup including Cody Johnson, Ella Langley, Ernest and Mackenzie Carpenter. The star-studded lineup playing inside Truist Park makes for a can’t-miss event.

The curious case of Clovis continues. There’s no doubt that Charley Crockett has remained one of the busiest artists working in the genre today. Since 2024, the “$10 Cowboy” has dropped a staggering five albums. Of course, this includes the double-up in 2024 in $10 Cowboy and Visions of Dallas, as well as the now-completed “Sagebrush Trilogy,” which is comprised of Lonesome Drifter, Dollar A Day and his latst release, Age of the Ram. However, he had all intentions of releasing a sixth album in two years, Clovis, which appeared just three weeks after Age of the Ram on April 28th. As one of the best releases to date from Crockett, fans everywhere were touting it as the Album of the Year. Despite all the hype surrounding it, it would disappear from on streaming services a little over a week later, which means the 14-track album was only available to fans for around a week. As of today, it still has yet to reappear. Over the weeks, we have gotten some updates on the record, however. Back on May 25th, Shooter Jennings, son of Waylon Jennings and Crockett’s long-time producer, would take to X to confirm that Clovis is for sure coming back, and that when it does, it’ll return with physical media: “It is coming back! With physical!” It is coming back! With physical! — Shooter Jennings (@shooterjennings) May 25, 2026 Just days later during his performance at Music City Rodeo in Nashville, we’d get another update straight from the horse’s mouth. Before performing a standout from the album, “Hallelujah Trail,” Crockett would tell the crowd that Clovis is coming soon, saying it’ll be back on the street in “two shakes of a lamb’s tail.” “I’m sorry about that record I put out a little ways back that got pulled down. I promise y’all I’m gonna get it back on the street in two shakes of a lamb’s tail.” Today, Crockett would give yet another update on Clovis… and there’s some good news and bad news. The bad (and most notable) news is that it seems as if we’re still a long ways away from seeing Clovis back on streaming, with the “Lonesome Drifter” singer saying he can’t release the album for “a minute.” Additionally, it seems as if he may be in some legal trouble; however, he didn’t specify if its related to Clovis itself or something else entirely. The good news, for those who live in Nashville or are attending CMA Fest this weekend, is that his team will be patrolling the streets of Music City and handing out CDs for free during the festival. He’d sign off by saying that he’s going back to his roots with the whole “boots-on-the-ground” approach to delivering Clovis to the masses. “I got a loyal street team around this week in Nashville. I’d be there but I’m in some legal trouble I won’t bore you with. They’ll be handing out CDs for free. You know, the way I got here.” View this post on Instagram I can’t say I’ve seen an album have this many issues releasing to the masses in recent memory; however, it seems as if we’re still a ways away from finally getting Clovis in its final, official form permanently. If you’re in Nashville this weekend, it’s best to keep an eye out in order to get your hands on this incredibly elusive record. Before you go, fire up “Hallelujah Trail,” which is actually still on YouTube via a recording from ABC Country in Australia.
