Tim McGraw returned to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Monday night to perform “Hard to Stay Mad At,” a track from his new solo album, Here on Earth, his first in five years.
Seated underneath a chandelier and in front of a towering window view in his home, McGraw and his band performed the understated but soothing track, co-written by Lori McKenna, Shane McAnally and Luke Laird. McGraw sang with his trademark ease: “If you weren’t so damn stubborn, we would’ve never got this far/Be just another casualty,...

When Shy Carter collaborated with Sugarland to write their 2010 single “Stuck Like Glue,” he brought bold ideas to the table. Like a drum loop, beat boxing, and a reggae rap breakdown performed by the duo’s Jennifer Nettles. At the time, such progressive production was considered country music heresy.
“That was one of the first loop-based songs that was on country radio,” says Carter, 35. “I was beating on wood and guitars and stuff. They never had anything like that in country music.”
In the 10 years since he began working in the Nashville industry,...

Written by Lance Miller, Marv Green, and Jimmy Yeary, “I Called Mama” is a gently ebbing ballad led by acoustic guitar and washes of pedal steel. More than a Mother’s Day song, it’s about not putting things...

When Chris Janson shot the album cover for his new release Real Friends, out Friday, he went full high-class hillbilly: reclining in a silver-dollar-studded 1964 Pontiac Bonneville that was once owned by Hank Williams Jr. and now resides in the garage of Kid Rock, who loaned it out to the “Drunk Girl” singer for the photo session.
Janson is a Williams superfan and channels the polarizing country rebel on a number of songs on the LP, including the shout-along “Beer Me” and the small-town salute “Country USA.” But it’s on “Say About Me” — a rapid-fire,...
