• To quote Jason Aldean, "We Back"
    Aug 2 2023

    Yea, we back babbyyy!! And what a title I hear you say - well, it's fitting because we talk a fair bit about Jason Aldean and his ever so unifying song, Try That In A Small Town... Yes, that was a joke. Miranda Lambert's concert-stoppage, more country music news and chart toppers (and Batman impressions feature)... Are you even surprised? ;)
