Is it possible to see an actual celebrity at the popular celebrity-owned bars in Nashville? You might wait in lines for hours just to get inside and listen to bands playing the same popular cover songs for hours and eat bar food. So why do some people do this thinking they might see someone like Morgan Wallen walk in the door? Well, because some lucky people actually have. One of the draws of country music is that the country stars seem down to earth like someone you could actually drink a beer with, and some famous A-listers have proven just that they are just that. We can’t have this convers...

Garth Brooks is the best-selling country artist not only of his generation, but of all time — but that wasn’t always the case. An old clip that has resurfaced online shows a young, pre-fame Brooks performing a George Strait cover in an early TV appearance, and it’s a remarkable country time capsule. The YouTube clip below dates to 1986, when Brooks was still living in his native Oklahoma and fronting a band called Santa Fe. That’s the same year that Strait released “Nobody in His Right Mind Would’ve Left Her,” which his longtime collaborator, songwriter Dean Dillon, wrote and released on an al...

Lainey Wilson small town roots are the very reason she has a surprising connection to fellow Louisiana native Tim McGraw. She recently revealed during a sit down with Garth Brooks that one of her relatives used to care for the country veteran when he was a child. “Tim grew up right down the road from me,” she shared. “My step-grandmother used to actually babysit him. But I’ve never met Tim.” The “Hang Tight Honey” singer grew up in Baskin, La., which — according to Google — is just a 22-minute drive from Start, La., where McGraw grew up.

Garth Brooks got a little teary eyed as he gushed about his famous wifey, Trisha Yearwood, traveling with him to support him during his epic Vatican performance. During his Inside Studio G show, he said would “try to get through this without crying, it’ll be impossible” while telling stories of his wife’s support when he was invited to perform at the World Meeting on Human Fraternity at the Vatican in Rome. He dedicated “Make You Feel My Love” to Yearwood during the performance as a testament to her support and their marriage. Apparently, he wasn’t the only fan of Yearwood at the Vatican. He s...

Garth Brooks put country music in the spotlight at the Vatican in Rome over Mother’s Day weekend, and while “Friends In Low Places” isn’t what you’d expect to hear at such a sacred place, fans just couldn’t help themselves. The country music superstar was invited to perform at the World Meeting on Human Fraternity, and he gave an acoustic performance of Vatican-approved songs from the atrium of St. Peter’s Basilica. It was during the May 13 episode of “Inside Studio G” that it was revealed that people who were gathered for the stripped down performance were chanting “Friends in Low Places” in ...

When an artist covers a song that’s already popular, they always run the risk of facing criticism. But in these 10 cases, country artists were able to take successful songs from other genres and make them their own. Whether it’s the massive success Luke Combs achieved covering Tracy Chapman‘s 1980s hit “Fast Car” or the emotional story behind Johnny Cash making an unlikely track from industrial rock superstars Nine Inch Nails his swan song, all of these artists gave some already massive hits a whole new look in country music. Cover songs can sometimes breathe new life into a song that has long...
