Warner Music Nashville has signed rising honky-tonk vocalist Braxton Keith. To celebrate, he has released his major-label debut track, “Fall This Way,” which will be featured on his upcoming EP, Blue, available everywhere on Dec. 6.

Keith has been turning heads with his ‘80s country sound and aesthetic as well as his live shows. The Texas native, who splits his time between San Antonio and Nashville, learned how to play piano from his grandmother and grew up singing family-friendly tunes like “The Carroll County Accident.”

“There’s something romantic about the country music scene in Texas—it’s that connection with that crowd,” Keith shares. “It doesn’t matter what day of the week it is, whether it’s an old raggedy bar or wherever the hell you are, they’re going to show up, and I fell in love with creating moments with those fans. I just try to imagine it’s a 90-minute show for me, but it’s a lifetime experience for them.”

Leaving school behind to earn his place in Texas’ live-music scene, Keith and his band have now been touring nonstop since 2020. His relentless nationwide touring and self-released singles and EPs have earned him a solid social media following. He arrived in Nashville for the first time in 2021, and has since been fine-tuning his songwriting.

Keith is planning to release more music in 2025. He is managed by Alex Torrez and Emily Vincent at Torrez Music Group, and represented by Andrew McWiliams at Evergreen Artist Group.

With their respective country albums, Beyoncé and Post also led the country categories, with the former earning a nod for Best Country Solo Performance (“16 Carriages”), Best Country Duo/Group Performance (“II Most Wanted” with Miley Cyrus), Best Country Song (“Texas Hold ‘Em”) and Best Country Album (Cowboy Carter), and the latter represented in Best Country Duo/Group Performance (“I Had Some Help” with Morgan Wallen), Best Country Song (“I Had Some Help”) and Best Country Album (F-1 Trillion).

Beyoncé also garnered nods in other genres, as well as the general field Song of the Year and Record of the Year with “Texas Hold ‘Em,” and Cowboy Carter in Album of the Year. With this group of nominations, the artist became the most-nominated artist in Grammy history with 99 total nods.

Shaboozey racked up six nods, including the only country representation in the general field category of Best New Artist. His “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” was nominated for the general field Song of the Year as well as Best Country Song, Best Country Solo Performance and Best Remixed Recording. His collaboration with Beyoncé “Spaghettii,” which also features Linda Martell, was nominated for Best Melodic Rap Performance.

Jamey Johnson Releases New LP ‘Midnight Gasoline’

Jamey Johnson is releasing his debut Warner Music Nashville album, Midnight Gasoline, today (Nov. 8), his first new solo studio project in 14 years.

CMT is also debuting the video for a track from the album, “Someday When I’m Old,” across its platforms, including CMT, CMT Music and CMT Equal Play, as well as the Paramount Times Square Billboard. Johnson served as the video’s executive producer and developed the concept for the cutting-edge video that depicts him giving advice to his younger self. Joel Robertson directed the clip, which was shot in Nashville.

“The idea behind the video is if I could go back and meet the younger version of me, what would I say?” Johnson says. “Or would I?”

The video uses AI technology and post-editing effects to feature Johnson both as a young man and as he is today. Johnson supplied about 30 photos of his younger self that were digitized and processed through AI software to “de-age” him. This visual was placed over a stand-in actor in the video and blended with post-editing effects. The clip features many aspects of Johnson’s real life, such as his beloved guitar Ole Maple, the 1986 Dodge truck he owned when driving to Nashville for the first time and the clothes he wore in the video for “The Dollar” (which are worn by the “young” Johnson). The photos featured in both wallets are Jamey’s photos of his daughter.

YouTube video

Midnight Gasoline is the first of Johnson’s Cash Cabin Series, which is a collection of albums recorded at the famed studio in Hendersonville, Tennessee, that was owned by Johnny and June Carter Cash and is now owned by their son, John Carter Cash. The album contains the tracks “21 Guns,” “What a View,” “Trudy,” “Sober” and “Saturday Night in New Orleans,” all of which were released during the last few months.

Garth Brooks Goes Home On Latest Anthology Chapter

Garth Brooks will release the next installment in The Anthology series with The Anthology Part IV: Going Home, which will be out Dec. 6.

Filled with never-before-seen photos, the collection recounts the 14 years Brooks spent in Oklahoma after stepping out of the spotlight and going back home to focus on his three daughters. The Anthology, Part IV contains stories and anecdotes from Brooks and the other people who made those years “life at its best,” including Trisha Yearwood and the friends they met as their children became teammates and friends. Included with this volume are six discs showcasing tracks from The Lost Sessions, Blame It All on My Roots: Five Decades of Influences and original cuts from his early Capitol releases.

“Those 14 years of my life are the ones I’ll always remember. It was life at its best. I learned to be a dad, my girls got to know me, and I’d never for one second regret walking away from a career in order to find all of that,” says Brooks.

Going Home begins on Oct. 26, 2000, when Brooks and Capitol Records celebrated RIAA-certified sales of over 100 million albums at a formal gala in Nashville. During a press conference that morning, Brooks shocked even those closest to him by announcing that he was retiring. This volume reveals what was going through his mind in that moment and the reactions of others in the room. Pre-orders are available now on Amazon and TalkShopLive.
