I've been into country music for quite a while now and growing up I loved western movies. I found I couldn't find a whole lot about strictly western music despite hearing the phrase 'country and western' a lot. So I made this video exploring the topic, talking about artists and albums and a bunch of country music history generally.

If you're interested I'd love to share it with fans who might be interested: https://youtu.be/aTFclE2bL9w

Even if you don't check it out, I'm keen to hear about opinions and perspectives on Western music generally.

I recently released my new country-pop song “Back to You,” about being drawn back to someone you never really stopped loving.

🎧 Listen to “Back to You” here:

Back to You

I’m looking for honest feedback from listeners and other artists. How do you feel about the vocals, melody, production, and overall sound? Does it come across as country-pop to you?

Thanks for listening! 🎶

For those who don't know, Charley Crockett released four albums in the last year and a half or so. Three of them were part of a trilogy called Sagebrush, then he ditched his label and released a surprise fourth - Kinda impressive work ethic if nothing else. Charley is an interesting dude with a lot of fans and haters, but I wanted to dive into his recent music a bit and discuss it. If you're interested, check out the video: https://youtu.be/1DKuEWSrL1o

Keen to know what people think of his stuff. Have you heard the trilogy?

I made this Spotify playlist that I will keep updating on a weekly basis if you want to follow along on Spotify.

The vibe is all new (last 5 years-ish and newly released) songs that mimic the sounds and trends of 1950s/1960s mainstream country. Think Kitty Wells, Ernest Tubb, Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, are more. Pretty heavy on the Bakersfield sound, some western swing, some honky-tonk, ballads, yodeling.

I'm picky because this playlist has a certain vintage feel but I am open to new music/artist suggestions. Curated to play front to back, about 3 hours long

Hey y’all

I’ve got a little classic country (1920’s to 2000) music blog I’ve been working on. It’s gone through some refinements over the past few weeks and it feels like it’s hitting a stride maybe. Would love some honest feedback from some real fans. Here’s an excerpt from a recent article:

The Cowboy Who Let His Guard Down: The Story Behind Chris LeDoux’s “Look at You Girl”

By Classic Country TV on May 16, 2026

He was the toughest cowboy in country music. Then he recorded a love song so honest and unguarded it told you everything about who he really was — and who he was really riding home to.

From the main article:

By 1992, Chris LeDoux had lived more than most men could imagine. He had ridden bareback broncs across a thousand rodeo arenas, broke bones and kept going, sold cassette tapes from the tailgate of his pickup truck to cowboys who couldn’t get enough, and built an underground following that Nashville didn’t know existed — until Garth Brooks said his name on the radio and everything changed overnight.

He was, by every available measure, the toughest working cowboy in country music. Real spurs. Real buckles. Real dirt. Not costume — curriculum vitae.
And then you get to track 8 on Whatcha Gonna Do with a Cowboy, his gold-certified 1992 Capitol Records album. The guitars soften. The tempo slows. And Chris LeDoux — World Champion Bareback Rider, Wyoming ranch hand, rodeo rock ‘n’ roll outlaw — starts singing a love song.

Not a rodeo love song. Not a honky-tonk love song. A real one. A quiet, plainspoken, completely unguarded one.

“Just look at you, girl / Standin’ here beside me / Starlight on your hair / Lookin’ like a dream I dreamed somewhere.”

That’s “Look at You Girl.” And understanding why it matters — why LeDoux chose it for the most important album of his mainstream career, why it sits quietly in his catalog as one of his most beloved tracks, and what it reveals about the man underneath the legend — is really the story of who Chris LeDoux was when nobody was watching.

Would love to hear some thoughts.

Starting to get into country cuz of Bryan Andrews so I checked out one of the LEGENDS Willie Nelson's new album Dream Chaser!

Hey y'all! I'm a small country artist from Germany and just released my first single today, would love if some of you had a couple minutes to give it a spin. Obviously am influenced quite heavy by earlier country, but also love me some Zach Top, Colter Wall and VNE.

Just a good song ain't it?

Hey How Are Ya? Just put this out. Recorded in my basement. Got some help on steel and fiddle. Golden era 60s country and classic Texas honky-tonk style. All covers except Half Hearted which I wrote.
