Lainey Wilson brought together more than 300 industry members, friends and family on Tuesday (Jan. 13) to celebrate her ninth No. 1 single, “Somewhere Over Laredo.” Hosted by ASCAP and BMI, the event honored the artists, songwriters, publishers and industry team members who contributed to the single’s success.

Written by Wilson, Trannie Anderson, Dallas Wilson and Andy Albert, and produced by Jay Joyce, the track was inspired by Judy Garland’s “Over The Rainbow,” written by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg. The track is nominated for “Best Country Song” and “Best Country Solo Performance” at the upcoming 68th annual GRAMMY Awards.

Many spoke of the close creative relationship of “The Heart Wranglers,” which consists of Laniey Wilson, Dallas Wilson and Anderson.

“What you guys are together is so special because you have grown together, you have each other’s backs, you speak life into one another, and your relationship has impacted beyond the three of you as a unit,” Gaston shared.

“There is not a harder working, more appreciative guy in town than Andy Albert. That makes my job easier, and it makes me want to do better for you,” Turner shared, noting that this song marks Albert’s third No. 1 of 2025.

Studio Bank sponsored the event, with Kari Barnhart presenting a special donation in honor of the writers to Wilson’s Heart Like A Truck Fund.

Dallas Wilson shared his gratitude for each co-writer, recounting how each one was integral to his early career, taking writes before he signed a publishing deal.

“Lainey Wilson is the biggest blessing to a songwriter,” he shared. “She props us up, she encourages us, she loves on us in every way. She doesn’t have the capacity but she does it anyway, and its the greatest blessing to be part of this.”

Albert shared that the song began when he and Anderson went to Florida’s Harry Potter World during a trip for Orlando Nashville Nights.

“I can’t believe the seed of a song idea we kicked around waiting in the lines has grown into this, but I guess that’s the magic of Nashville,” he quipped.

Anderson shared that the song marks a full-circle moment for her as the timing of the song has aligned with her pregnancy with her “rainbow baby.”

Lainey Wilson took the microphone to wrap up the celebration, sharing, “As a songwriter, its important for me to be able to step into a pair of shoes I’ve worn before and tell a story from that perspective. … I’m so thankful that I get to write songs with my best buddies, people who know me better than I know myself.”

This dream began with me, a guitar, and the songs. Just me, as raw, and real as the music can be. No band to hide behind, or to carry me each night.

Brothers Osborne are celebrating 10 years since the release of their breakthrough album Pawn Shop with the release of Pawn Shop (10 Year Anniversary Edition), due out Feb. 13 via MCA.

The new album honors the project originally released in 2016 that introduced the duo’s sound and marked a defining moment for Brothers Osborne. It became a cornerstone of their career, producing multiple career-defining singles for the duo upon its release, including “Stay A Little Longer,” which reached No. 1 at country radio and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. Another standout, “It Ain’t My Fault,” climbed into the Top 10 and also received a Grammy nomination.

Out today, the duo shares “Love The Lonely Out Of You (Live Pinebox Version),” accompanied by a lyric video recorded in John Osborne’s Pinebox studio. Captured in a single take, the performance strips the song down to its emotional core, highlighting the honesty and songwriting that first connected the duo with fans.

To commemorate the milestone anniversary, Pawn Shop (10 Year Anniversary Edition) will be released on vinyl alongside three limited-edition 7-inch collector vinyls, each offering a unique pairing of newly released recordings, demos, or live versions from the Pawn Shop era. The songs selected from Brothers Osborne were intentionally chosen because they have never before been released in a physical format, giving fans the first opportunity to own these tracks on vinyl. A special international release will include a single LP compiling all six songs.

The full anniversary edition will also include the previously unreleased song “Pins And Needles.”

The Store officially opened its second location in Nashville yesterday (Jan. 14) on the campus of TriStar Centennial Medical Center on the ground level of TriStar Centennial’s B Garage at 311 23rd Ave North.

Corporate and private donations helped make the buildout and operations of the new location of The Store possible. Co-founded by Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams-Paisley, the nonprofit offers a free, referral-based grocery store to families and individuals in need across Middle Tennessee and emphasizes dignity and choice, allowing customers to select from a variety of fresh produce, meats, dairy products and pantry staples.

The Store’s original location opened in 2020 on Belmont University’s campus and served nutritious food and support services to 2,200 families in 2025. Due to the growing hunger crisis, the demand for The Store’s services continues to grow, and the wait list has substantially lengthened. The opening of the second location will provide the opportunity to more than double the number of families currently being served.

“We are very thankful to TriStar Centennial and to all of the wonderful individuals and corporations all over the country providing financial support for this mission,” says Kimberly Williams-Paisley. “We also couldn’t have done this without the hundreds of volunteers assisting our staff to help make this all come together. Together, we aim to help our customers get to the place where they won’t need The Store anymore, where the next time we see them will be when they come through our doors as one of our volunteers. That’s our dream.”

The Store utilized more than 3100 volunteers in 2025 to stock shelves, assist customers, and execute year-round programming. With the addition of the second location, The Store will need 275 volunteers each week and welcomes individuals, families and organized groups to volunteer. Given the increased size, The Store’s new location will also offer emergency clothing and provide shopping trips for persons referred by Centennial staff and other partners.

“The new store at Centennial reflects what’s possible when a community comes together with compassion and purpose,” says Collen Mayer, The Store CEO. “At nearly three times the size of our original store, with expanded storage and volunteer space, this location will allow us to serve twice as many neighbors—meeting the growing food need with dignity and love.”
