• Eric Church - The Outsiders - Where the Dark Meets the Light

    On Eric's fourth release, he mixes up not only the personalities of the songs but also the musical aspects, throwing in rock, rap/spoken word and a touch of blues. Some fans will love the mix. Others won't because each song doesn't line up like precise little toy soldiers. It comes down to personal taste and whether you prefer a multi-faceted approach or a straight country licks down the line touch. For me, I am a big fan of seeing more than one side of any artist so I'm seriously diggin' (and relating to) 'The Outsiders.'

The June 7, 2014 date at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX had been previously announced as the final date on "The Cowboy Rides Away" tour, but we all knew that it would have to be a blowout of the epic variety. Strait and his team have come through, assembling an all-star supporting cast for his final show.

  • Marijuana and Country Music: An Old Trend That Mainstream Listeners Are Just Realizing [VIDEO]

    If you've enjoyed music produced by every scene ranging from '40s bebop to '90s grunge, you're aware that heroin has played a role. Ecstasy and "molly" use in the EDM scene have recently become a concern for parents and concert organizers after a rash of overdoses. However, marijuana has somewhat lost its edge. Although we don't encourage any drug use, a reference to taking a toke hardly raises an eyebrow, whether the artist is Sublime or Wiz Khalifa. One scene that's late to the party is country music, and a Billboard report indicates that those surrounding the traditionally family-friendly genre are concerned with a rash of weed references in popular country music.
