Tweet Cover art: Lonestar, "Amazed"; Maren Morris, "The Bones" 2020 marked the fourth consecutive year in which a single that had a strong showing on Billboard’s weekly Hot Country Songs chart also appeared in the top 10 of the trade magazine’s all-genre Year-End Hot 100 Songs chart. Maren Morris’ “The Bones,” which had a 19-week run in the No. 1 spot on Hot Country Songs, came in at No. 9 on the Hot 100 wrap-up in 2020. In 2019, Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” was a record-setting hit on the Hot 100, and climbed to No. 19 on Hot Country Songs befo...

This mid-tempo song opens simply with a guitar and a voice, almost angrily, declaring, “ There is no good reason I should have to be so alone.” The rest of the song is a balance between frustration and empathy, with a driving beat stopping things from ever getting too sad; you can almost see Natalie Maines laughing in frustration as she sings, “ God help me, am I the only one who’s ever felt this way?” 10 "Never Say Die" “Never Say Die” is an optimistically (and purposefully) naive love song. Another mid-tempo song balanced somewhere between ballad and waltz, it has Maines’ na...

Formed in 1989 by Laura Lynch, Robin Lynn Macy and sisters Martie and Emily Erwin (now Martie Maguire and Emily Strayer), the Chicks released three albums as an independent band, in 1990, 1992 and 1993. In the summer of 1995, the then-trio (Macy had departed in '92) signed a developmental deal with Sony Music Nashville. Natalie Maines replaced Lynch as the Chicks' lead singer, and Sony signed the revamped group as the first artists on their newly revived Monument Records imprint. In October of 1997, the Chicks released "I Can Love You Better" as the first single from  Wide Open Spaces; the s...

Remember When the Chicks Released Their Major Label Debut Album? The Chicks were already veterans of the recording studio when they released their major-label debut album, Wide Open Spaces, on Jan. 27, 1998. The group switched up their approach completely for the album, which changed not only their career, but also the entire trajectory of contemporary country music. Formed under the name Dixie Chicks in 1989, the group's original lineup included Laura Lynch, Robin Lynn Macy and sisters Martie and Emily Erwin (now Martie Maguire and Emily Strayer). That lineup performed extensively in and ar...

Vince Gill is best known for his exceptionally pure tenor as a singer of some of country music's most emotional ballads, but as it turns out, he can rock it up when he needs to. The country superstar turns up the volume on a new version of "Heartache Tonight" from the Eagles' new live album, and he pulls it off surprisingly well. "Heartache Tonight" is perhaps the song that's the biggest stretch for Gill in the songs he took over from the late Glenn Frey when he joined the Eagles in 2017. Most of the other songs he sings in the iconic group's live shows are better suited to his own approach, ...
