It’s always the dang whiskey. Yesterday, Emily Ann Roberts released a new version of her song “Jack & Jill Daniel’s,” which she first put out as a solo single in August of 2025. She wrote it with Ryan Beaver, Jeremy Spillman, and Trent Willmon, and it’s a brilliant spin on the “went up the hill” nursery rhyme. Emily was nominated for ACM New Female Artist of the Year award this year, and it’s a well-deserved recognition for Roberts, whose incredible voice and traditional country sound have positioned her for her breakout moment over the past couple of years. If you’re not familiar with Emily Ann, she had a viral song called “Whole Lotta Little” a couple years ago, and she has released a couple of albums including her 2023 album Can’t Hide Country record and her most recent project, Memory Lane. Emily Ann was also on The Voice in 2015, and in addition to putting out great music and touring a lot, she showcases her country lifestyle for a big TikTok following and is a self-proclaimed “Yeehaw MeMaw.” But this new version of “Jack & Jill Daniel’s” finds Emily duetting with Ian Munsick, as they go back and forth about Jack’s “heartbreak history,” which leads him up the hill to build a whiskey still, and the rest is history: “Jill was a diamond in a chunk of coal town Prettiest girl in any holler around Took a shine to Jack, Jack gave her a ring And for a little while they had a really good thing Jill was hard to handle, that’s a known fact But ’til you hear the whole story, you don’t know Jack Jack went up the hill to build a still of whiskey And drink away the hurt of his heartbreak history Ain’t no mystery, that’s the way it goes Behind every shot of Jack there’s a Jill Daniels Oh Nobody knows for sure, but the old timers say Jill left with a man on a midnight train Jack knew all along he couldn’t hold that girl But what he did next changed the whole world” It’s incredibly unique and fun, country to the core, and easily one of the most fresh and creative songs I’ve heard this year. Emily is such a star, and it’s so awesome to see her really start picking up some momentum and starting to get the recognition she deserves as one of the genres most exciting young stars. Making this song into a duet just makes so much senes, and I’m a sucker for a good country duet.

One of the best walk outs of the Still The Problem tour. Last night, Morgan Wallen headlined M&T Bank Stadium with Ella Langley, Gavin Adcock, Jason Scott & The High Heat in Baltimore, Maryland, and he brought out a Ravens favorite in Hall of Famer Ray Lewis for his walk out on night 2. Ray Lewis a former linebacker, one of the greatest defensive players in NFL history, and he spent his full 17-year career with the Baltimore Ravens. and if you’re a football fan at all, then you’ve probably seen his iconic pre-game “squirrel dance” a time or two, which he showed off last night for the hometown fans. Morgan came out and did it solo at first, and then Ray came out and showed him how it was done, and of course, the fans were LOVING it. Morgan shared the video on Instagram, saying he has a “couple new moves in [his] arsenal” now thanks to Lewis: “Got a couple new moves in my arsenal now thanks to Ray Lewis.” Lewis has always been known for his high energy, outgoing personality, and he was definitely a great choice for this: View this post on Instagram The night before, Morgan had some of America’s service members from the U.S. Navy walk out with him (the Naval Academy is not too far from Baltimore in Annapolis, Maryland), which was very special too: @spaark319 Morgan Wallen walked out with The Navy!!! #morganwallen #morganwallenconcert ♬ original sound – spaark319 In addition, during the night one concert, Morgan announced that his next single “Been By Now” will be released on July 24th. He wrote it with Charlie Handsome, John Byron, Blake Pendergrass, Rocky Block and Taylor Phillips, and he even debuted it for the Baltimore crowd, which you can check out here: @kays_concerts i’m so lucky to have been there. #morganwallen #baltimore #fyp #concert ♬ original sound – kayla Still The Problem Tour July 18 || Baltimore, Md. || M&T Bank Stadium w/ Ella Langley, Gavin Adcock, Jason Scott & The High Heat July 24 || Ann Arbor, Mich. || Michigan Stadium w/ Thomas Rhett, Hudson Westbrook, Blake Whiten July 25 || Ann Arbor, Mich. || Michigan Stadium w/ HARDY, Hudson Westbrook, Blake Whiten July 31 || Philadelphia, Penn. || Lincoln Financial Field w/ ​​Brooks & Dunn, Hudson Westbrook, Blake Whiten August 1 || Philadelphia, Penn. || Lincoln Financial Field w/ Ella Langley, Hudson Westbrook, Blake WhitenThe post “Couple New Moves In My Arsenal ” — Morgan Wallen Does The “Squirrel Dance” With Ravens Legend, Ray Lewis, For Baltimore Show Walk Out first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Possibly another song from the forthcoming EP. At the beginning of July, Zach Bryan pretty quietly announced that he has an EP called Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs, which he shared in the YouTube comments of two video teasers of two different songs called “Lodi When”: “A snippet of ‘Lodi When’ off the new EP, ‘Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs’.” I still have not been able to figure out the EP title and I’m really hoping at some point we get some sort of explanation because it’s really something, but I digress… Zach’s been busy in 2026 in terms of playing a lot of shows both in the states and overseas in Europe, and he announced that he started his sobriety journey late in 2025, in addition to getting married to Samantha Leonard on New Year’s Eve this past year. Just two weeks later, he’d drop his long-awaited sixth studio album, With Heaven On Top, along with a full-length acoustic version of the record. With Heaven On Top would debut #1 on the all-genre Billboard 200, selling 130,00 units in its first week and charting 18/25 songs on the Billboard Hot 100. And since then, he hasn’t put out any new music, and I don’t think fans necessarily expected him to considering he released the aforementioned album in January, but today, _ seemingly shared another song that will be part of this EP called “Walk Backwards.” He sings about life and trying to figure it all out in a way Bryan only seems to be able to put it: “All I want are your beautiful legs around me On that Spanish beach you found me For the rest of my earthly days This is how you walk backwards Everything I ever said, I said in reverse Everything I ever did, what’s it all worth? Live and learn how to walk backwards Well I don’t feel human anymore, Mama When am I ever going to get that karma You said was heading back down this way” He still hasn’t shared a release date or anything of that nature, so stay tuned.
