WATCH: Morgan Wallen Shares Epic Live Performance Video Of “Don’t We” From Tuscaloosa, Alabama

The opening song to Morgan Wallen’s I’m The Problem tour. And “Don’t We” is also his current radio single, and of course, was included on his record-breaking fourth studio album, and was written by Wallen with Rocky Block, John Byron, Ashley Gorley, Blake Pendergrass and Ryan Vojtesak. It’s the seventh country-format single from the album and eighth overall, and it has already been certified Gold and is still climbing the charts at country radio, and certainly stands a chance to become his next radio chart-topper. The lyrics find Morgan reflecting on the small town lifestyle and explaining why, even though many people in these smaller, more rural areas don’t have all the money and material items, they are rich where it counts: “Wouldn’t trade this holler for a stone-cold million dollars My green all comes blue collar, and I’m all good with that This world’s been changin’ but these folks ’round here they ain’t been They all still windshield wavin’ when they slow rollin’ past We could live a little higher on the hog But I don’t think that we’d be no better off Not everybody got that spot out in The Forty Some ten point buck they shot hangin’ like a velvet trophy Fridays in parkin’ lots outside of somewhere holy Not everybody likes this kinda life, but we do, don’t we?” It’s a theme that runs throughout Morgan’s music, and even though he’s a huge superstar now, he comes from humble beginnings growing up in small town east Tennessee, eventually moving to Knoxville in his teenage years. And today, he shared a really cool live performance video of “Don’t We” from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where he played at Bryant-Denny Stadium, which shows him coming up to lots of smoke and fan-fair and is extremely high quality, almost making you feel like you’re right there in the stadium with him. Tons of people love to hate Morgan, and while he isn’t necessarily at the top of my playlist every day, he puts on a heck of a show and definitely knows how to do it up for massive stadium, which isn’t easy to do. Check it out: He also teased a new, unreleased song on his social media accounts yesterday, so this could be his last radio single before he starts putting out new music and potentially announcing a new album: View this post on Instagram “Don’t We” Morgan will plays two concerts in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this weekend at Acrisure Stadium. ‘Still The Problem’ Tour Dates June 5 || Pittsburgh, Penn. || Acrisure Stadium w/ Brooks & Dunn, Gavin Adcock, Zach John King June 6 || Pittsburgh, Penn. || Acrisure Stadium w/ Ella Langley, Gavin Adcock, Zach John King June 19 || Chicago, Ill. || Soldier Field w/ Brooks & Dunn, Gavin Adcock, Zach John King June 20 || Chicago, Ill. || Soldier Field w/ Ella Langley, Gavin Adcock, Zach John King June 26 || Clemson, SC. || Clemson Memorial Stadium w/ Brooks & Dunn, Gavin Adcock, Jason Scott & The High Heat June 27 || Clemson, SC. || Clemson Memorial Stadium w/ Ella Langley, Gavin Adcock, Jason Scott & The High nHeat July 17 || Baltimore, Md. || M&T Bank Stadium w/ Brooks & Dunn, Gavin Adcock, Jason Scott & The High Heat 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 WATCH: Morgan Wallen Shares Epic Live Performance Video Of “Don’t We” From Tuscaloosa, Alabama first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Ben Ingram, The Voice Of The Atlanta Braves, Reveals Most “Country” Guy On The Team

There’s a lot of “country guys” on the Atlanta Braves, but one player in particular takes the cake. 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. We got to spend a good amount of time with the Braves play-by-play announcer, and found out rather quickly that he’s got a great taste in music. Ingram told us that, ironically enough, he doesn’t find a lot of country artists through the radio. Rather, he relies on word of mouth from those around them… and based upon his list of favorite artists, it’s working out great: “I love Turnpike Troubadours. I love Whiskey Myers. Big fan of Colter Wall, Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson. It’s a lot of stuff that you don’t hear on the radio. That’s where I gravitate to. Shane Smith and the Saints. Charles Wesley Godwin.” Throw all of those names together and you’d have a heck of a playlist. With that kind of country music taste, we felt as though Ben Ingram could be trusted to ascertain the “most country” guy on the Atlanta Braves. It didn’t take long for the voice of the Braves to throw out some names, and even provided one that many fans wouldn’t expect: “Austin is definitely in the conversation. I’d probably start right there. I’d say… this might throw you for a loop, because when you think of ‘country,’ you think of American-born players. Martín Pérez is a rancher in Venezuela. He’s got hundred and hundreds head of cattle. In fact, I think he plays baseball so he can ranch. That’s his passion. That’s pretty country as well.” @whiskeyriff @Atlanta Braves #whiskeyriff #whiskeyriffraff ♬ original sound – Whiskey Riff Though Ingram also mentioned Dylan Lee, Eli White, and Mike Yastrzemski in the conversation, it sounds to me like Pérez can comfortably take the title of “Most Country Braves Player.” And speaking of country, there’s quite the celebration of country music coming up on June 13 at the Home of the Atlanta Braves. It’ll feature a stacked lineup including Cody Johnson, Ella Langley, Ernest and Mackenzie Carpenter. The star-studded gathering of artists playing inside Truist Park makes for a can’t-miss event. You can hear more from Austin Riley, Kyle Farmer and Ben Ingram of the Atlanta Braves by checking out the interview on YouTube or making sure to download the podcast on Apple Podcasts by searching “Whiskey Riff Raff” or by clicking here. We’re also available on Spotify and wherever else you can listen to podcasts. Cheers, y’all.
