Luke Combs is putting his fans ahead of money, and he doesn't mind one bit. Continue reading…

Rising country music star Ty Myers stopped by the Whiskey Riff Raff podcast to talk about his career thus far and his latest album, Heavy on the Soul. The “Thought It Was Love” singer talked to us about his career blowing up while he’s still a teenager, being the boss of adults at the age of 18, how he’s written 90 percent of his songs in his childhood bedroom, and being called an old soul ever since he started writing full songs when he was seven years old. Myers also touched on the main demographic of his fanbase being young girls, how every night on tour is a party (and why he sometimes separates himself from it), John Mayer being his number one influence, and the concern he sometimes feels that fans won’t like an album that sounds completely different than something he’s done previously.

Giving Cody Johnson a run for his money. It’s been quite the past few days for Post Malone. Yesterday, he’d turn heads by taking to Instagram to tease his massive, upcoming album, The Eternal Buzz. Posting a photo of a whiteboard featuring 40 (that’s not a typo) songs, the “Congratulations” singer riled up the internet and got fans speculating whether he’s staying in country music, returning to rap/alternative or potentially combining both into the huge album. Before he broke the internet by teasing The Eternal Buzz, Post closed out the slate of Final Four concerts over the weekend in Indianapolis, along with Twenty One Pilots and fellow country artists, Zac Brown Band. After Megan Moroney warmed up the crowd, the Texas native delivered his standard concert fare as of late, performing a mix of his old, rap smashes like “White Iverson,” “Better Now” and “I Fall Apart” with his recent country hits like “I Had Some Help,” “Dead At The Honky Tonk,” “Wrong Ones” and his second collaboration with Morgan Wallen, “I Ain’t Comin’ Back.” He’d bring the show home with three of his biggest songs to date, the aforementioned “I Had Some Help,” “Sunflower” and finally, “Congratulations.” During the closing performance of “Congratulations,” Post would deliver an incredibly passionate speech. Addressing the crowd, the rapper-turned country star would give the Indianapolis crowd a reminder not to let life get them down, promising them that they are loved more than they could possibly know. “I know exactly how it feels to feel like this world can just f****** kick you down to the point you want to give up, or you don’t want to keep going and you just want to give up. I just wanted to say and reiterate once again, no matter what the f*** you’re going through, no matter what the f*** is happening in your life, sh*t gets better and you are loved more than you could ever f****** know. Sounding a bit like his tourmate, Jelly Roll, during his signature speeches, Post would go on to tell the crowd that there’s no force on earth that can stop them from chasing their dream, encouraging them to live life as “truthfully and genuinely” as they possibly can. “There is no earthly force. There is no heavenly force, no f****** hellish force in this f****** universe that can stop you from doing what the f*** you want to do with life and living your f****** dreams. It doesn’t matter what the f*** you want to do. Do it as hard as you f****** can and do it as f****** truthfully and as genuinely as f****** can. And no one can honestly tell you sh*t on how to live your f****** life.” Wrapping up the speech and launching into the final portion of “Congratulations,” he’d once again encourage the crowd to pursue whatever passion they desire, telling them to “do the best you f****** can.” “It doesn’t really f****** matter whether you want to be an astronaut or a f****** basketball player. No matter whether you want to be a truck driver, it doesn’t f****** matter. Just do the best that you f****** can, ladies and gentlemen.” I think it’s pretty safe to say it wasn’t the most eloquent speech ever given, but props to Post for taking the time to encourage his fans and deliver a good message.

If only Terry Bradshaw’s Hall of Fame football career wouldn’t have gotten in the way of his country music career. Throughout his lifetime, Terry Bradshaw has worn many hats… literally. During his playing days with the Pittsburgh Steelers, he donned a helmet and was a Super Bowl champion. Once he moved onto his broadcasting career, Terry has been known to wear flat caps as he breaks down games. And then on other occasions throughout the 70s and 80s, you just might have seen him singing country music while wearing a cowboy hat. Believe it or not, Terry Bradshaw once even released his own country music album in 1976 that was titled I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry. The project itself climbed into the Top 100 Country Albums chart, and his cover of Hank Williams’ song (that the album is named after) peaked at 17 on the Billboard Country Music chart. That’s pretty impressive, especially considering he released the album right in the midst of his playing career. Bradshaw played 14 seasons in the NFL from 1970 to 1983, and was just casually putting out solid, respectable country music during that time as well. The more you know, right? In 1977, the star quarterback joined a half-hour, syndicated country music program called Pop! Goes the Country. The TV show brought on both traditional and more pop-leaning country music acts, and shined a spotlight on the genre. It aired from 1974 to 1982, and racked up over 230 episodes. One of those episodes featured Terry Bradshaw singing a cover of Hank Williams’ “Jambalaya (On the Bayou),” and a video of that performance is currently going viral online. Why, you might be asking? Well, people love the occasional nostalgic dip back into yesteryear, and this video below certainly provides that. A social media account called “Super 70s Sports” shared a snippet of Bradshaw’s performance, and I’ve got to say… the Steelers quarterback has some pipes. He looked like a natural out on the stage, and it’s crazy to think that Terry Bradshaw was singing country music on Pop! Goes the Country all while he was also putting together a hall of fame football career. He’s a multi-talented man, and this footage of him covering Hank Williams proves that: Terry Bradshaw sings Hank Williams with four glorious sons of the 70s on backing vocals. Just trust me on this one … pic.twitter.com/OMGdKghEQV — Super 70s Sports (@Super70sSports) April 7, 2026 Now anytime I see Terry Bradshaw included on NFL coverage, I’m going to think of that video. I don’t think it would be crazy to say that Bradshaw could have explored a country music career back in the day. Nowadays, it’s probably best that he sticks to covering football, but back in the 70s? He could have spun his football following right into a country music fanbase if he wanted to. If a country music program was booking him to perform, he’s certainly got some talent. All in all, I think everything worked out just fine for Mr. Bradshaw. However… I do wonder if he ever sits down in his home, pours himself a drink, and cues up this Pop! Goes the Country episode and contemplates what could have been. Oh, and if you wanted to listen to the original – rather than Terry’s version – here’s Hank Williams: “Jambalaya (On the Bayou)” by Hank Williams The post WATCH: Terry Bradshaw Covering Hank Williams’ “Jambalaya (On The Bayou) In 1977 Is The Country Throwback You Didn’t Know You Needed first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Imagine saying no to “you look like you love me.” Before “Choosin’ Texas” became nothing short of a career-changer for Ella Langley, allowing her to hold the record for longest-running #1 hit on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 for a female country artist in history, “you look like you love me” was the track that kick-started the Alabama native to the superstar status she’s currently at today. In many ways, “you like you love me” was a gift that kept on giving for Langley and Green and set the pair up for the success they’re currently experiencing nearly two years later. Beyond its massive streaming numbers (331 million on Spotify alone), it would also net the duo a staggering 7 ACM and CMA Awards throughout 2024 and 2025. Notably, it would become the first song ever to win Single, Song and Music Video of the Year in a single night at the 2025 ACM Awards and additionally netted the pair a rare Single and Song of the Year double-up at the 2025 CMA Awards. Couple all those accolades with a 3x platinum certification from the RIAA and a #1 spot on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart, and you have yourself one of the most successful songs of the past few years. There can be full-length thesis papers done on the massive virality and overall impact that the track has had on both Green and Langley in particular, but one of the most interesting thing to note about it, all seven awards and all, is the simple fact that neither of the two superstars actually thought the song would see the light of day, let alone the success its experienced over the past two years. Notably, Langley would reveal that the song was never even supposed to be recorded, originally being written as a joke with co-writer, Aaron Ratier, in an appearance on The Bobby Bones Show back in September 2024. As for Green, he also had his doubts about the song, at least from a commercial perspective. In an interview with Zach Sang, he’d note that he thought the song was much too traditional to have success on the radio nowadays. Today, on an appearance on the always-hilarious This Past Weekend with Theo Von, Langley would drop the most shocking revelation about “you look like you love me” to date: her label, Columbia Records, actively discouraged her from releasing the song in the first place. As the “weren’t for the wind” singer explained to the comedian, everyone in her camp was telling her that the song was never going to work. Similar to the hesitation Green had from a commercial-perspective, her label kept pushing for her to sing the now-iconic spoken-word verses. “Everyone told me that song was not gonna work… After we cut it, they were like, ‘We really think you need to sing these verses.’ I was like, ‘I’m not singing it…’ I just fought them really hard on it.” In fact, she’d reveal that the label told her that “you look like you love me” would be the worst-performing song on her debut record, Hungover. “They wanted me to sing that [and] go back in. They were like, ‘This is going to be the worst-performing song on the record.” Obviously, the track would not only perform well but quickly became the best-selling song of her career until “Choosin’ Texas” came around. Reflecting back on her decision to keep it the way it was intended, Langley would admit that she wasn’t sure how successful it would eventually become, simply sticking with it because she believed in it. “I didn’t know what it was going to do, but I believed that it was different. I believed that it was something that made me smile, and I enjoyed singing it. When I put my mind to something, like if I go in and cut something, it’s because I believe in it.” Well, after 7 award wins, a #1 spot on the Billboard charts and ultimately setting the stage for “Choosin’ Texas'” record-breaking success, it’s safe to say that it was a pretty big hit. That’s pretty good for a song that was never even supposed to be released (and actively encouraged not to be), if you ask me. Watch the full podcast here.
