When Nashville songwriter Abe Stoklasa died last week at 36, he left behind a catalog that frequently probed the dark corners of daily life. In many of his songs, love sucked, gainful work was elusive, and the choice between redemption and destruction was often decided by a single step. Even his Number One pop-country hit, Chris Lane’s seemingly innocuous “Fix,” was rife with foreboding references about addiction (in this case, to love): “I’ll make you feel invincible/I’m more than recreational” went one verse, while another alluded to a “Walter White high.

Charlie Worsham has been playing the long game for over a decade, and he’s finally poised to cash in with an all-star duets project he’s calling Compadres. Released this week, the five-song EP features collabs with A-listers Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, Elle King, Dierks Bentley, and Kip Moore.
But before he was able to create Compadres, Worsham, 38, had to make peace with a now 10-year-old ghost. Back in 2013, the Mississippi native released Rubberband, his major-label Nashville debut. It failed to crack the Top 10 on the country albums chart,...

While technically a CMA Fest event, the Cadillac Three delivered a gritty and often improvised alternative to the highly produced TV taping going on across the river at Nissan Stadium on Friday night. During their concise, stout headlining set at Ascend Amphitheater — dubbed “The Cadillac Three & Friends” — the Nashville trio incorporated a horn section, added Charlie Worsham as second guitarist, and leaned into the “& Friends” part of the billing by performing a pair of songs with Little Big Town and Elvie Shane.

It’s Worsham’s first new music since 2017’s criminally overlooked Beginning of Things, and it’s not hard to imagine how that album’s disappointing commercial performance might’ve fueled “Fist Through This Town.”

Luke Combs has teamed up with bluegrass star Billy Strings for the new song “The Great Divide.” Surprise-released Sunday night, it addresses the bitter cultural divide of the present-day United States and is the first new studio music Combs has released since the deluxe edition of his second album, What You See Is What You Get. In October, Strings posted a photo of a writing session with Combs in Florida, pointing to a collaboration to come. “The Great Divide” was written by Combs, Strings, and Wyatt Durrette.

Tony Rice, the bluegrass guitarist and vocalist known for his elegant, innovative flatpicking, died Friday at his home in Reidsville, North Carolina. He was 69. Rice’s death was confirmed by the International Bluegrass Music Association, which inducted him into its Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame in 2013.
Born David Anthony Rice in Virginia on June 8th, 1951, Rice learned about bluegrass from his father, an amateur musician who raised his family in Los Angeles, and Tony’s older brother Larry Rice, who played mandolin. When Tony was 20, he joined his sibling as...

“Lovin’ a music man’s ain’t always what it’s supposed to be,” Journey’s Steve Perry sang in “Faithfully.” In his new song “Doing Life With Me,” Eric Church echoes that sentiment as he lists off all the burdens his loved ones had to carry as he pursued country music stardom.
“It ain’t easy putting up with/a road dog with a cup with/a little Jack in it,” Church sings to open the easygoing number, going on to wonder why anyone would agree to taking such...

Over the weekend, Luke Combs performed a solo acoustic version of the song “Ever Mine,” an unreleased track that doesn’t appear on the CMA Male Vocalist of the Year’s latest album What You See Is What You Get.
Written with fellow singer-songwriters Charlie Worsham and Hailey Whitters, “Ever Mine” is a classic country ballad that takes a narrative approach to depict a soldier who’s been sent away from his family to fight in a war. Rather than focusing on acts of heroism or patriotism, the song looks...

Charlie Worsham’s Every Damn Monday concerts have been a highlight of the Nashville summer for the past four years. This year, a tornado decimated the regular home of Worsham’s residency, the Basement East, and then the pandemic struck. Undeterred, Worsham has announced a livestream version set for November 18th — a Wednesday — at the Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville. Dubbed “Every Damn Five Years,” the show features a diverse group of special guests, including Worsham’s bandmate in Old Crow Medicine Show, Ketch Secor.

Charlie Worsham has recorded and released a one-man-band version of David Bowie’s 1977 song “Heroes” as an homage to the nation’s health care workers fighting Covid-19.
The country singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist filmed a homemade video for the clip that shows him recording the track in the studio and hamming it up in his backyard with a vintage microphone and bongos. It’s musically intricate but visually lighthearted, and acts as a balm for the frazzled nerves of many music fans.

Old Crow Medicine Show’s Ketch Secor goes it alone in the new song “Quarantined” — but he sure would like to have some company. A lighthearted ode to be being separated from the one you love, the track finds the man-out-of-time musician suffering through two full weeks without as much as an embrace.
“I wanna hug you and hold you tight/but I gotta wait 14 nights,” Secor sings in the ragtime number, lamenting the sad truth that “one little cough can kill us all.” He even works in a reference...

“You can dance in a hurricane, but only if you’re standing in the eye,” Brandi Carlile and Tim and Phil Hanseroth sang onstage at Nashville’s Marathon Music Works on Monday night. The Seattle-based musicians flew in especially to perform at the To Nashville, With Love tornado relief benefit concert and, with songs like “The Eye,” helped take back the power of last week’s natural disaster and transform it into something healing.

Christopher “Critter” Fuqua has played his last official concert with Old Crow Medicine Show. Fuqua, a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, co-founded the country string band in 1998 with singer and fiddle player Ketch Secor. His final show was the band’s annual New Year’s Eve concert, broadcast live on Sirius Xm’s Outlaw Country, at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium.
Fuqua’s exit caps a year of lineup changes for Old Crow Medicine Show. Guitarist Chance McCoy left the group earlier in 2019, and solo artist Charlie Worsham joined as an adjunct member.

Keith Urban comes up with a holiday original, Kacey Musgraves recruits Lana Del Rey to sing a classic, Wade Bowen tries to do his best Mariah, and more Christmas-themed country and Americana songs to hear this week.
Brandy Clark, “Merry Christmas Darling”
Brandy Clark brings out the melancholic ache in this holiday staple. The thick harmonies during the song’s final stretch nod to the Carpenters, who first released “Merry Christmas Darling” in 1970, while the electric guitar — played with expert restraint by Charlie Worsham — cranks up the soul without clouding the sorrow.

Musicianship was the theme of the evening for the second of Marty Stuart’s three Artist-in-Residence performances at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum on Wednesday. Titled “Psychedelic Jam-Bo-Ree” and featuring a multi-generational cast of guests, the emphasis felt tilted slightly more “jam” than “psych,” with Stuart and his band the Fabulous Superlatives flexing their instrumental chops.
In a way, the show was akin to Stuart’s annual Late Night Jam, held each June at the Ryman Auditorium during Cma Fest. That show mirrors the format of an old radio program,...

For several years, guitar-wielding singer-songwriter Charlie Worsham has featured a song in his live shows which he says fits into the relatively sparse category of “stoner gospel.” Written with Ashley Monroe, “I Hope I’m Stoned (When Jesus Takes Me Home)” is an ode to the earthly, yet otherworldly delights of cannabis.
“I believe he put it down here for all of us to use, a little piece of heaven to take away your blues/I know I’m far from perfect and I’ll call a sin a sin...

Grand Ole Opry members Old Crow Medicine Show took the stage of the Opry’s former home, the Ryman Auditorium, recently for a live, acoustic performance of their 2008 tune “Methamphetamine.” Joined by new guest member Charlie Worsham on guitar, the six musicians gather around one microphone, playing to an empty house, which adds an air of desolate intensity to the song about the ravages of drug addiction.

Country Radio Seminar (Crs) isn’t usually the kind of place for grand statements — if anything, the annual gathering of country radio programmers in Nashville is a time when artists play it safe in hopes of scoring some eventual airtime. You strum your single, you crack a joke. You offend no one. But, once in a while, a moment happens.
Two years ago, it wasn’t an up-and-coming indie voice that broke the usual mold for how things are supposed to go at Crs. It was Vince Gill, one of...

As a rising country artist, Logan Mize has a problem that’s almost enviable. The Clearwater, Kansas, native would like to begin putting out new music for his fans, but he has a practical reason to tap the brakes. At present, his single “Better Off Gone” is just starting to gain some traction at country radio — despite the fact that Come Back Road, the album on which it appears, has been available for two years. That’s an eternity in country music and often spells death for an artist’s momentum.

Among today’s country artists, Old Crow Medicine Show have become synonymous with the Ryman Auditorium, Nashville’s “mother church of country music.” On September 20th, the Grand Ole Opry members will pay homage to their long-running relationship with the venue with the release of the new concert document Live at the Ryman.
The 11-track collection — all recorded at the Ryman between 2013 and 2019 — includes both Old Crow staples like “Brushy Mountain Conjugal Trailer” and “Methamphetamine,” and traditionals and covers like “Will the Circle Be Unbroken,” “Cc Rider,” and “Sixteen Tons.

“All my life I’ve known Jesus/But that connection never came,” sings Vince Gill at the top of his new song “When My Amy Prays.” A hushed, vulnerable ballad that deals in doubt and the strength that comes with love, “When My Amy Prays” is the latest release from Gill’s upcoming album Okie.
Over restrained piano chords and softly brushed drums, Gill sings about not fully understanding or feeling the presence of a higher power until he experienced it through his wife, singer Amy Grant. Seeing Amy pray,...

The 54th Acm Awards on Sunday night felt like a tug of war between country’s old-school traditions and its progressive future, resulting in some truly engaging performances. Others, however, struggled to find their footing, while some moments left us with head-scratching questions — like why were two of country and Americana’s most talented musicians performing in near obscurity? And why wasn’t Kacey Musgraves’ music heard, either live or on tape? Here’s the 13 best, worst and Wtf things we witnessed.

For the finale of the Loretta Lynn birthday concert in Nashville on Monday night, the majority of the all-star cast returned to the stage to sing “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” a motley crew of Tanya Tucker, Brandi Carlile and Dennis Quaid all gathered around the guest of honor. It was a tenuous moment, with the soon-to-be 87-year-old Lynn emphatically shaking off her sister Crystal Gayle’s overture for her to sing her signature song. “I don’t wanna,” Lynn said.
But then, at the start of the second verse, Lynn seized the moment.

Luke Dick clicks a file on his computer and swivels around his chair in the converted garage-studio behind his East Nashville home. Andy Warhol’s voice, dispassionately commenting that he’s just eaten a burger, leaps out of the speakers and begins to warp as if a tape machine is being melted. A slinky, single-note guitar riff and throbbing disco-punk groove take over, and a singer howls, “Baby you’re clickbait, sitting underneath my fingers,” amid a flurry of lustful, panting come-ons to our state of constant distraction. In the song’s middle section,...
