It’s been a long wait for Tim McGraw fans, but that wait is about over. His last album, “Here On Earth,” came out in 2020 – and three years later, Tim has announced a follow-up.

Titled “Standing Room Only,” (the title track is already climbing the country charts), the album is Tim’s 17th studio album, and is set to drop August 25th. To thank fans for patiently waiting, Tim dropped a second song from the upcoming release, titled “Hey Whiskey.” Tim had this to say about the album: “As an artist, I always want to dig deeper and get better every time I make a new record – it’s a big part of what drives me, and I really believe this is one of the best projects we’ve made. I’ve been working on this album since 2020, and this collection of songs are some of the most emotional, thought-provoking, and life-affirming music I’ve ever recorded. I’m excited to have ‘Hey Whiskey’ out so fans can start hearing more of what we’re working on – and maybe even more before August…” Check out the new track and the track list below.

Luke Bryan helped create a very special memory for one couple Friday night at his show in Darien, New York. He called up a young fan named Shannon as he launched in to his hit “Country On.” He told the crowd, “So Shannon’s husband has been fighting overseas for a couple of years, and I wanna get her to help me. Come up here with me right now,” and once the fan got on stage he gave her a big hug.

The special memory part came when the crowd went wild, clueing Shannon in that something was happening behind her. She turned around to see her husband, in uniform, walking out from the side of the stage. The couple hugged, Shannon cried, the crowd cheered, and all the while Luke kept strumming along.

Michael Jordan has decided to divest himself of his majority ownership in the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets. As he’s looking to sell, buyers are lining up – and one of them is country superstar Eric Church.

Eric, a native North Carolinian and major supporter of the state’s pro sports teams, has joined with a group of buyers who are finalizing a deal to buy a majority stake franchise.

Although an agreement has been tentatively reached between Jordan and the prospective buyers, the transfer of ownership must be approved by the NBA Board of Governors before being finalized. So Eric Church the businessman (Whiskey Jypsi) and country singer is hoping to add sports mogul to his resume.
