NBA star Jimmy Butler recently teased that while he’s rehabbing a knee injury, he’s also been quietly working on a country music album—and even shared a clip featuring vocals from Breland.

Now, Jordan Davis is backing it up. He says he’s heard a lot of the project and it’s “awesome,” calling Butler “a crazy talented guy” and adding that it’s exciting to see someone he’s long admired so fired up about country music.

Zach Top launched his Cold Beer & Country Music tour Friday night in Oklahoma, treating fans to an acoustic cover of George Strait’s “Amarillo by Morning.”

Fun fact: it’s the very first song he ever learned on guitar—back when he was just five years old.

Justin Moore has announced he’s stepping away from touring for a short period to focus on his health.

In a statement, he said, “As a result, I’ll be unable to perform some upcoming shows. This is the right decision for me and my family, and I appreciate everyone’s understanding and support.”

He added that he’s looking forward to getting back on the road later this summer and doing what he loves most.

Someone has created a “days since” count-up clock, tracking the number of days it’s been since Morgan Wallen did something dumb.

Most recently he grabbed a phone out of a security guard’s hand at his Pittsburgh concert and tossed it across the stage.

Fans in attendance say the security guard was helping a fan get video … A week before that Morgan got upset and flipped a piano that was malfunctioning.

He’s also tossed a chair off a bar roof too, among other things. The days counter sits at 3 days right now!
