Sounds like they had more than their fair share of fun on the first date. Lainey Wilson got her now-fiancé Devlin “Duck” Hodges, and she shared some gorgeous photos of the day on Instagram when it happened back in February: View this post on Instagram Duck was a four-year starter at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama before being signed as an undrafted free agent by the Steelers in 2019. He was named the starter during the 2019 season when Mason Rudolph went down with an injury, going 3-3 as a starting quarterback before being waived by the Steelers and signed to the practice squad prior to the 2020 season. They dated for about four years  before getting engaged, and during a party celebrating her radio hit “4X4XU,” Lainey previously shared details about the proposal that happened at the aforementioned stunning George Jones estate the week after the Super Bowl. She said not long ago that they haven’t really started planning much yet, as she’s been out on the road this year for her extensive Whirlwind tour, but Duck recently revealed that they have a few date options, and it will likely be in late spring or early summer of 2026. During a conversation on the Like A Farmer podcast, in addition to sharing some of those wedding details, Duck recalled their first date, which was at a place called Moby Dicky’s in Hendersonville, Tennessee. He explained that Lainey’s song “Yesterday, All Day, Every Day” details some of it, but they ended up at a bar afterwards where you pay $5 per person and it’s all you can drink beer and wine… though they only got to go a handful of times because it only stayed open for about a month after their first date. Duck admits they “might have shut it down” that first time: “Our first date, she’s actually got a song about it, it’s called ‘Yesterday, All Day, Every Day.’ It kind of tells a story. Our first date, I came to Nashville, picked her up. We went to go eat dinner at this restaurant called Moby Dicky’s, it’s up at Hendersonville on the water. And then we went to this bar that shut down about a month after we went on the first date, and you’ll see why here in a second. You pay five dollars a person, and it’s all you can drink beer, all you can drink wine. So we went there on our first date, and it was me, her and I think like 10 of her friends. We might’ve shut down that place ourselves, I don’t know. Because we went there, from our first date till they shut down, we probably went there four or five times, and every time it was five dollars, all you can drink beer, all you can drink wine, line dancing. I mean, if you get free beer, you’re not just drinking five, you’re drinking about 15 or 20. So that was our first date.” Not a great business strategy, obviously, but it sounds like my kinda bar… The song Duck referenced, “Yesterday, All Day, Every Day,” was included on the deluxe edition of Lainey’s Whirlwind album and was written by Trannie Anderson, Josh Kear and Dallas Wilson. It opens by talking about an “Alabama son and a Louisiana daughter,” who went to a bar on their first date and ended up falling in love: “Catfish shack, feeding ducks on the water Alabama son and a Louisiana daughter Summer heatwave don’t get much hotter Than the burn in that first kiss Wondering on downtown to Silverados Crowd was line dancing and we were clinking bottles Damn, it kinda feel like we done and hit the lotto Free beer from five to ten Got me wishing that I could live Yesterday all day, every day Stuck in a loop like Punxsutawney…” It’s a beautifully captured ballad about their love story, which hopefully continue for many years after their wedding in 2026. I know Lainey’s going to look absolutely stunning, and I can’t wait to see what she wears. You can watch the clip here: @likeafarmerpodcast Their first date was so good, she wrote a song about it.

Some new, old music is on the way from Benjamin Tod. The “Using Again” singer joined the Whiskey Riff Raff podcast to talk about his faith, staying grounded while country keeps changing, doing his best to no longer be an antagonist, why staying true matters to yourself matters now more than ever, and much more. If you’ve ever listened to the often sinister and sincere stylings of Benjamin Tod, you know that the subject matter of his songs can vary from hopeful to as dark as it gets. The country music artist has quite the story to get where he is today – battling drug addiction at a young age, busking to try and make ends meet, and hopping freight trains to travel across the country. Through it all, he’s gained an intense appreciation and deep knowledge for the country music artists that have come before him. During our conversation, Tod briefly touched on why he’s frustrated that younger artists (at least some of them) don’t care to keep up with the genre’s history: “All of us, we know Dock Boggs and Blind Willie McTell and we know the old English ballads and how they relate to murder ballads from Appalachia and the songs they are derivative from. If you have a clear understanding of that, and your knowledge of country music isn’t just Travis Tritt and Hank Sr…. if you don’t have a fundamental understanding of the history of country music and its impact, then it’s really hard to have a conversation. We’re talking about two different things.” Benjamin Tod is one who is very much informed on country music and it’s impact, which is why he’s decided to do a little bit of a passion project that honors some of his favorite artists from yesteryear. While talking about all the things he has going on in his life – like preparing to bring a child into the world, or up-keeping his land in Kentucky – he revealed that he’s somehow carved out the time to record a record full of covers in the near future. Tod said that he’s got about 10 songs (one from each of his favorite artists) that he plans to cover himself and compile them all into one project: “I’m gonna record a record in December. A classic country record of sort of… I just picked a tune from probably by top 10 favorite classic country artists. Starting with Jimmy Rogers and moving all the way up to a Keith Whitley tune. And it spans (a long time). I’ve got one Graham Parsons tune and a Don Williams tune, obviously a Haggard tune. I tried to reach around (and pull from everywhere).” @whiskeyriff @Benjamin Tod #whiskeyriffraff #whiskeyriff ♬ original sound – Whiskey Riff Hey, there’s five artists right there. Tod has talked highly of other names such as Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt in the past, so they too could find a home on the 34-year-old’s cover project. Guess we’ll have to wait until he actually delivers the album to see who fills out the rest of the track list… but until then, make sure to download the podcast on Apple Podcasts by searching “Whiskey Riff Raff” or click here to hear more from Benjamin Tod. We’re also available on Spotify and wherever else you can listen to podcasts. Cheers, y’all.
