Dustin Lynch offered up a pair of new songs on Friday. The surprise releases “Pasadena” and “Not Every Cowboy” are the country singer’s first new music to appear since his fourth album, Tullahoma, was released in early 2020.
In comparison to the Tullahoma singles “Good Girl” and “Ridin’ Roads,” both of Lynch’s new songs feel like back-to-basics, fiddle-friendly productions from collaborator Zach Crowell. “Pasadena” plays on the musicality of the California town’s name, its four syllables mirroring an ascending guitar and banjo run while Lynch, who co-wrote the...

Keith Urban is joined by fellow Cma Entertainer of the Year nominee Eric Church on a new version of his current single, “We Were.” Urban released his recording of the song, which Church wrote with Ryan Tyndell and Jeff Hyde, in May.
This new rendition is virtually unchanged from the version Urban released in May — now a Top 10 hit — save for the presence of Church. The “Desperate Man” singer parachutes in around the 1:13 mark to lead the second verse and chorus, lamenting a loss that was likely inevitable but...

The title track from Shepherd’s new album is a mid-tempo salute to resilience and resolve. “You’ve gotta keep your faith and stay strong, even when everything else in your life is going wrong,” she sings over power chords and mandolin,...

Stamped hands, bar bands and fake IDs all figure into Keith Urban’s new song “We Were.” A slice of earnest nostalgia, the vibey mid-tempo ballad yearns for those romances that we all know won’t last but are essential to our formative years.
Urban runs through a roster of vivid imagery — leather jackets on a Harley; feet hanging over the edge of a water tower; a car parked discreetly with the top down in a remote field — selling each snapshot with his understated phrasing. But “We Were” also succeeds...

When Tucker Beathard released his debut single “Rock On” in 2016, the young songwriter watched as his then label Dot Records, a now defunct imprint of Big Machine Records, motivated the song up the charts. It peaked at Number 2, but Beathard wasn’t able to match its success — even by singing about “Momma and Jesus” in the follow-up single and doing BMX stunts in its Jackass-inspired video.
Soon, relations with the label became strained and Beathard felt as if he were being boxed in creatively.

When Eric Church’s debut album Sinners Like Me hit in 2006, it signaled a brash new direction for country music. Here was an artist who, although leaning heavily on rock & roll, maintained a foothold in country, especially with his enlightened workingman lyricism. Naturally, Church evolved over his next four albums, embracing both harder sounds and a more singer-songwriter vibe that culminated with the surprise release Mr. Misunderstood in 2015 (he’ll further his catalog with the new Desperate Man on October 5th). In celebration of Church gracing the August cover of Rolling Stone,...
