Parker McCollum released an official studio duet version of his current hit single, “Killin’ Me,” featuring country music veteran Lee Ann Womack. The track transitions the song from a solo track into a collaborative performance between the two Texas natives, with the release following their highly publicized live performance of the song at the 61st Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards. The newly recorded track is the opening number on McCollum’s self-titled fifth studio album, which recently won Album of the Year at the ACM Awards. Originally tracked with Womack and her daughter Aubrie Sellers providing background vocals, the song was later sent to country radio, where it became a mainstay on major stations and a permanent fixture in McCollum’s touring setlists. Following the positive reception of their live awards show pairing, the artists returned to the studio to formally cut the full duet version. The partnership represents a deeply connected family collaboration behind the scenes...

Wynonna Judd is set to release her first solo studio album in a decade, titled The Hard Truth, a project she describes as her most revealing and emotionally honest work to date. Scheduled for release on Oct. 2, the album arrives after a five-year creative journey and follows a period of profound personal loss, reflection and renewal. Judd announced the project alongside its lead single, “Kentucky Queen,” a song that reconnects her with her Kentucky roots while reflecting on the experiences that shaped her life and career. The 11-track collection marks the first time the five-time Grammy winner has co-written an entire album, with longtime collaborator and husband Cactus Moser serving as producer. Recorded primarily in Tennessee, the project explores themes of resilience, faith, grief and personal growth. In a statement accompanying the announcement, Judd said, “I’ve spent a lifetime singing about heartbreak, healing, faith, and survival, but I’ve never made a record like this one.” She...

Lee Brice has released his latest single ‘Me And Whiskey,’ a new preview of his forthcoming album Sunriser (All Nighter), set for release on Oct. 2. Co-written by Brice alongside Matt Alderman and Nate Kenyon, Me And Whiskey was co-produced by Brice, Cody LaBelle, and Jerrod Niemann. The single puts a somber turn on the classic childhood nursery rhyme “Sitting in a Tree”. Rather than reflecting on young love, the lyrics depict a man coping with the painful breakdown of a relationship while seeking solace at a tavern counter. “Me And Whiskey” serves as a featured track on “Sunriser (All-Nighter),” with the 32-song collection acting as an expanded edition of his sixth studio album, “Sunriser.”  It also features the recently-released singles: “What You Know About That,” “Cry,” “Country Nowadays,” “Truck Bed Mixtape,” and “Killed the Man.” In support of the new music, Brice is continuing his 2026 tour schedule with concert dates across the United States throughout the year.
