Listen Now: Pryor & Lee “Y’ALLSOME”
Thanks to the wondrous time I’ve spent killing over at TikTok, I’ve managed to stumble across quite a few country artists that I may never have heard of otherwise. Now I’m even starting to get bombarded by country music fans on that platform with THEIR favorite artists and let me tell you I * AM * HERE * FOR * IT! The latest tune to flood my ForYou page is this catchy little number from up and comers Pryor & Lee called “Y’ALLSOME”. It turns out this is the pair’s debut single, and if this is how they’re starting off, I can’t wait to hear what’s next! It’s a fun party vibe track that brings some sweet smooth baritone and a hell of a ripping guitar lick in which all hits in the right places, especially if you were raised on line-dancing, late-drinkin dance hall weekends. If you want to find out more about Pryor & Lee you can check out their official site, find them on Facebook, or even stalk them on TikTok!

GRAMMY® Award-winner Tim McGraw is ushering in the holiday season with the release of “It Wasn’t His Child” today – listen now.

Originally written and performed by Skip Ewing, McGraw’s version was arranged and co-produced by his longtime band leader Danny Hemingson along with Steve Gibson and Byron Gallimore. “It Wasn’t His Child” has been a favorite song of McGraw’s for years. “It’s been a crazy year and we’ve worked hard to put out music, knowing how much it can mean and provide solace in difficult times,” McGraw says of the release. “This is our final chance to thank everyone for sticking with us this year and more importantly, provide some Christmas spirit to you this holiday season.” The release of “It Wasn’t His Child” caps off a 2020 for McGraw in which he released his 16th studio album Here On Earth, which marked his 4th straight decade with a #1 album on the Billboard Country Album chart.

Going Tiny: Financing the Big Dream
This year has been a picnic… if by picnic you mean we’ve had to halt construction plans on a half-finished community kitchen since Covid took away the live music industry and nixed the bulk of our income, leaving us prepping cold sandwiches and pickles when we’d rather be cooking up a storm! But of course, you can’t always predict the curveballs that life is going to throw at you.
