Most of what we know about the ocean just skims the surface, literally. We’ve gathered a large quantity of data on the oceans from satellites, but most of that is based on the top layer of water. Below that, the picture gets murkier. Buoys, ships, and some autonomous rovers have recently added some detail, but […]

A full circle moment for this “Bar Star.” Carter Faith is gearing up to hit the road with Post Malone and Jelly Roll, as they recently announced their Big A** Stadium Tour Part Two. For the second installation of this tour, the “Losers” artists are calling on North Carolina native, Carter Faith, to join them on the road. View this post on Instagram In case you’re somehow unfamiliar with Faith at this point, she’s undeniably one of the brightest up-and-coming female artists in the entire genre at this point, with Ella Langley naming her at the 2025 ACM Awards that she’s going to be the next big female country star. After releasing her debut single, “Leaving Tennessee,” in 2020, the self-described “cowgirl hippie and sometimes kind of trippy” has flown up the ranks over the past two years in particular with her patented 70s-inspired sound. This was best displayed on her debut album, Cherry Valley, which was released last month and quickly flew to the top of many Top Albums of 2025 lists, thanks in part to infectious, sassy tracks such as “Grudge,” “Betty,” and “Bar Star.” Faith is well on her way to becoming a household name, being a supporting act on the Big A** Stadium Tour Part Two, and she’s also scored supporting nods for King himself, George Strait, as well as Chris Stapleton for upcoming shows this year. However, taking the stage before Post Malone is a true full-circle moment for the “Six String” singer. Shortly after the tour announcement, Faith shared on social media that she had covered Post Malone songs in the early days of her career and is clearly a fan of his work. “Okay, I’m going on tour with Post Malone, and my high school self is freaking the f**k out ’cause I used to cover his songs at my bar gigs when I was 18. This one is for her.” Faith says in the video before she begins singing “Better Now” by Post Malone. But the moment is even more of a pinch-me moment for Faith because she revealed in the video’s caption that it all started when Malone sent her a DM when she was at a low point financially, saying he liked her tune “Bar Star.” “A couple months ago, I was buying lace and fake birds at Michael’s to make my own stage props. I was stressing cause it was almost time to pay my rent, and I spent way too much lol. When I was in the checkout line, I saw Post had DM’d me and said he liked my song ‘Bar Star,’ and I laughed cause I thought it was fake. It was not fake, and now I’m gonna tour the country with him, but I’m still gonna make my own stage props. I can’t wait wow.” The DM that started it all. Thank goodness Carter Faith didn’t dismiss it as a fake direct message, although her instincts told her otherwise at first. A true “pinch me” moment for her. View this post on Instagram Carter Faith will be a knockout addition to this already stacked tour bill. I can’t wait to see her shine on stages across the country this spring and summer.

Sharing some insight into the massive collaboration. Before the Grammys on Sunday, which featured Zach Top and Tyler Childers winning their first-career Grammys for Best Traditional Country Album (Ain’t In It For My Health) and Best Country Song (“Bitin’ List”), the biggest story dominating the country music world the past week was none other than the surprise collaboration between Morgan Wallen, Eric Church, Tim McGraw and HARDY. Given the fact that Church, Wallen, McGraw and HARDY, all took to Instagram to upload incredibly similar posts with birth and death dates (save for Wallen) for members of a seemingly fictional McArthur family, theories about the deeper meaning of it were flowing in all week, and it quickly became clear that it was going to hold a lot of historical significance. Many of the dates mark very important moments across American history, whether it’s World War II events, a Martin Luther King Jr. speech, or the assassination of John F. Kennedy… you can read much more about that HERE. Though there were TONS of theories flying around, everything from a concept album to a Taylor Sheridan series to a new installment of the Red Dead Redemption video game, HARDY, who spearheaded the project, seemingly put them to rest Thursday by confirming the project (for now) was just a single song. Of course, “McArthur” was released on Friday to high praise from fans and critics alike. However, it looks like the supergroup may not be limiting themselves to just one song in the world HARDY, along with co-writers, Josh Thompson, Chase McGill and Jameson Rodgers, created. In an interview with Billboard, the “wait in the truck” singer would dive into the fascinating story behind the song’s creation, how Church was the catalyst in bringing the entire group together and the potential of an entire album following the story of the McArthur family. A bit surprisingly, HARDY would reveal that “McArthur” was originally written back in October shortly after he finished his tour for the year. And originally, it was conceived as a stand-alone, solo track upon its completion. “I wrote it back in October. My wife and I have a beach house in Florida, and I just finished a tour, so we decided to spend the month there and I was like, “I’d love to do some writing while I’m here, and so I talked to some co writers into doing some zoom writes. Jameson Rogers is really good at making song starts and he actually had a verse about, “I’m John McArthur, and I worked this dirt” and he had a little bit of the backbone of this thing. I take no credit for the concept coming to life. Chase McGill was the one that was like, “You know, what if we made it to where each verse was a different generation and we’re trying to hang on to this land?” I was in once I heard that. I love songs like that.  Once we got the concept, we just dug in.” However, after listening to it back, on a whim, he’d send the demo over to the “Springsteen” singer. Immediately loving the song, Church agreed when HARDY told him he and a few artists should record the song. Immediately, Church selected Wallen to be the youngest of the four McArthurs; however, the pair went back and forth on who the eldest should be. After throwing some names around, the two agreed on enlisting McGraw, who immediately said yes. “A few days after we wrote the song, I was listening to [the demo] over and over and I just on a whim sent it to Eric Church. I’ve gotten to know him pretty good and we’ll send each other song ideas. I just said, “Man, you and I and a couple other people should do this song together.” He immediately hit me back and was like, “Dude, I love this. Let’s get Morgan on it. And then we need, like an OG, like a heavy, heavy hitter, to play John.” And so, we threw some names around. Tim was the main guy the whole time and so sent it to Tim, and Tim immediately said, “I’m in” and it worked out like a dream. We really got lucky with everything. Then we were off to the races.” Undeniably, the question that has been on everyone’s mind since its elaborate teaser and subsequent release is “Will an entire ‘McArthur’ project ever be released?” HARDY himself added more fuel to the fire on Saturday when he responded to a fan’s comment on Instagram simply saying, “You haven’t even heard anything yet” in regard to the future of the McArthur story. In the interview, HARDY would clear the air by noting that discussions regarding a Highwaymen-esque collaborative album have been had. However, he would say that there’s currently no confirmation if or when that will happen despite him wanting to expand upon the story. “We have definitely thrown out the idea. It will take a lot of work, and it’s obviously four people that are heavy hitters and very busy. But, for the record, I would love to expand on this concept, truly. So the discussion has been had. There is no confirmation that it will happen, but we talked about it and if we could all somehow get together and have some time to write a storyline or the rest of a record than I would love for that to happen.” Given the incredible amount of attention to detail involved in the promotion/rollout of the initial track, ranging from the meticulous dates for all four members of the McArthur family to the fact that the song itself ends on a cliffhanger, it always felt as if this project was meant for a scale much larger than a one-off single. Though there’s no definitive answer as of today, it seems as if HARDY definitely has something more up his sleeve when it comes to the McArthurs in the future. For now, we’ll just have to wait and see. “McArthur” The post HARDY Says He’d Love To Expand On The “McArthur” Concept, Doesn’t Rule Out A “Highwaymen-Style” Collaborative Album first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
