Reboot II

"What was even more impressive was to sit down with this bunch and turn them loose to do the songs in whatever way fit their artistic vision. The fun part was we weren’t chasing the original recordings or arrangements or our versions." (Ronnie Dunn [Brooks & Dunn] / billboard.com, September 16, 2024)

Okay?

"Both the actual book as well as the saying I’m OK – You’re OK have been featured in popular culture in the decades since the book was released, starting with a [1972] New Yorker Magazine cartoon about a phone conversation: 'Oh - we're reading "I'm O.K. - you are O.K.," and I guess we are O.K.. But I think it's because of the martinis, not the book." (Nicholas Berne Calcaterra / drthomasharris.com/im-ok-youre-ok-book-thomas-harris/)

A huge surprise and an undeserved award?

"For a second, it was hard to tell what silhouetted angel was killing the beginning of Chris Stapleton’s 'Think I’m in Love With You.' [...] Her voice fit the bluesy, sultry song well, and Stapleton, a true pro at big-time duets, knew how to cede the stage." (Justin Curto / vulture.com, May 17, 2024)

Bring on the Neon

"If 2022 ended up being a relatively quiet year release-wise for Booth, that’s only because next year he’s going to be making a hell of a lot of noise. The only track he released this year was his gritty outlaw country cover of Post Malone’s ‘Feeling Whitney’." (Jof Owen / holler.country, Dezember 15, 2022)

Pocketful of 90s

"It would be painful, just knowing what we know now after being in the business for eight years — it would be hard to forfeit that, even for the price [of] whatever may be on the other side of the door. We’ve built this team, from booking agents to management and our business manager. It’s like family."   (Charlie Muncaster [Muscadine Bloodline] / billboard.com, Februar 27, 2023)

At the end of a bar

You can find your future Run into your past You can look for answers At the bottom of a glass You can make a best friend And never know their name . (At The End Of A Bar / Chris Young, Mitchell Tenpenny, Chris DeStefano)
