Ballads & Bangers: Standing in the Rain & Man Made Money

"What makes a song a banger? The most important is the hook, that sticks in your head, after you hear the song just once. In addition it will also have a solid beat, that you can't help but move to. And recognizability is also key." (DJ Rinehart / deepinthemix.com, July 23 2023)

Greatest Story

" It’s tempting, as an artist trying to make a name for himself, to lean into what is working in the industry - to chase the trends I hear on the radio and try to change my sound and my style to better ‘fit in’ to the Nashville game." (Matt Jordan / facebook.com, February 15, 2024)

The Cowboy Killer case

"Everybody wanna know, where did all the cowboys go? Musta been the whiskey, maybe it was all the Marlboros. But it ain't none of that, that laid 'em all low, yeah, believe me, I know." (Killed The Cowboy / Jordan Reynolds, Anderson East, Devin Dawson)

6 ft. deep

"The idea that graves should always be 6 feet deep has been around for a long time. There is no agreement about where this idea came from. For some it comes from London in 1665, where the Lord Mayor ordered that all "graves shall be at least 6-foot deep" under the presumption that doing so would prevent the spread of the Black Death."
