The Red Clay Strays & Zach Top Cover "Where Corn Don't Grow"

Wrasslin' Country Reaction Gifs #87

Me during the great Barstool/Zach Bryan war of '24

When you see Wheeler Walker Jr. live and he doesn't play your favorite song, "Skanks for Nothing"

Watching Post Malone get a second performance at the CMA Awards while Zach Top gets none

When somebody claims to be a huge "Dwight Yoakum" fan

Me when the family asked for some Thanksgiving music and I played this. 

When you're 8 tallboys in at the Cody Jinks show then you remember you're the DD

Hearing a Jelly Roll song every time I walk in Dollar General

What does Carrie Underwood eat for Thanksgiving?

Me when the youths start talking shit about George Strait again

Your pop fan wife 2.5 hours into the Johnny Blue Skies show when there hasn't been any confetti or dancing

Deedoodle: I know I'm just a figment of your imagination, but possibly you should get away from your demons

 When some dude on the bread aisle is humming "Cruise"

You don't like Reckless Kelly?

Bobby Bones said what??

When people keep talking during the Lori McKenna show

Whassup girl, I got Chase Rice tickets? 

Pick you up around 8?

If Rascal Flatts was black and they tried to pick up Gary

YouTube Gems: Darrell Scott

Darrell Scott's new album Long Ride Home is an early contender for album of the year. You owe it to yourself to check it out. Since I couldn't find any live performances of songs from that album, here's my favorite Darrell Scott song... and probably one of my favorite songs ever, "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive."
