Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation and Tractor Supply Company have announced their third annual “Relief for Rescues” fundraiser, which provides financial support for shelter animals impacted by disasters such as floods, fires, hurricanes and tornadoes.

From Jan. 12–22, customers can donate to the “Relief for Rescues” Fund during checkout at any Tractor Supply location, online at TractorSupply.com or via the Tractor Supply mobile app. Launched in 2023, the fund has raised more than one million dollars and already allocated over $600,000 to support shelter animals impacted by natural disasters.

The fund is actively supporting the Southern California region impacted by ongoing wildfires, and recently deployed $250,000 to provide critical assistance to 31 animal shelters and organizations across multiple states in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The money distributed helped animal rescues access more efficient emergency response and provided food, supplies, veterinary care, transport services for displaced pets and assistance with shelter repair.

“Our ‘Relief for Rescues’ Fund allows MuttNation to help shelters when they need us the most,” says Lambert. “It’s been heartbreaking to see the devastation in California unfold, and we’re grateful that our fund and the generosity of our donors has allowed us to respond quickly. 100% of your support goes directly to those impacted by disasters.”

“At Tractor Supply, we’re passionate about animals and dedicated to supporting them however we can,” adds Kimberley Gardiner, Chief Marketing Officer, Tractor Supply Company. “Natural disasters often leave more pets without homes and put extra pressure on shelters. That’s where the ‘Relief for Rescues’ Fund comes in—it allows us to quickly provide financial support and help ease that strain. We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished so far with Miranda, MuttNation, our amazing team members and our customers. This year, we’re excited to keep that momentum going and make an even bigger impact together.”

Parmalee has released the new track “Cowgirl,” the debut single from their forthcoming album, Fell In Love With A Cowgirl, due out April 4.

A seven-song collection, Fell In Love With A Cowgirl is part one of a two-album set. Writers contributing to the project include Ben Stennis, Ashley Gorley, Michael Tyler and more. Fans can hear “Cowgirl” and more of the new material live when Parmalee kicks off their “Fell In Love With A Cowgirl Tour” on Feb. 13.

Warren Zeiders will release his new album, Relapse, Lies, & Betrayal, on March 14 via Warner Records.

The two-part, 20-track project offers an intimate journey through heartbreak, personal growth and emotional healing, delivered with Zeiders’ signature raw vocals and storytelling. The album is produced by Zeiders alongside Ross Copperman and Mike Elizondo. Zeiders is credited as a writer on 17 of the tracks, with Connor Mcdonough, Ali Tamposi, Mark Holmon, Feli Ferraro, Chris Stapleton and more also co-penning tracks.

Zeiders released a preview of the album today (Jan. 10) with “Can A Heart Take.” Written by Zeiders, Copperman, Randy Montana and Ryan Beaver, the tune is a poignant, musical dissection of the heart that explores explores the limits of loss.

Throughout the creative process of the album, Zeiders embraced an intimate, therapeutic approach to songwriting, drawing from his personal relationships and the whirlwind of his meteoric rise to success. The new album captures the emotional rollercoaster he experienced amidst his rapidly changing life and career, offering a cathartic exploration of love, loss and gratitude. From the summer vibe of “Relapse” and the fiery anthems like “Bad” and “Take It To the Grave,” to the introspective moments in tracks like “You For A Reason,” “Can A Heart Take” and “Withdrawal,” every song pulses with the fleeting emotions of love. Elsewhere, tracks like “Crying Whiskey” and “Lies” balance out the raw vulnerability, while reflective pieces like “Everything Comes To Go Away” encapsulate the album’s central themes of love and loss.

Zeiders is coming off a breakout year propelled by the success of his first No. 1 single, “Pretty Little Poison,” and a win for CMT’s Breakthrough Male Video of the Year. Last fall, he released Relapse, and capped off his year performing as direct support on Jelly Roll’s “The Beautifully Broken Tour” and earned seven spots on Billboard’s 2024 year-end charts.

Next month, Zeiders will take the stage at the 2025 New Faces of Country Music showcase during the Country Radio Seminar. He is also set to go overseas on his first-ever European tour later this month, and will kick off off his 23 date “Relapse Tour,” making stops in Nashville, Atlanta, Charlotte and more.

Rising singer-songwriter Zach John King has signed a record deal with Sony Music Nashville.

A Fayetteville, Georgia native, King fronted an indie-rock band through college before moving to Nashville in 2021. He released his first solo track introducing his country-meets-rock sound, “Just Missed You,” in 2023. He turned heads with other independent tracks including his 2024 breakout single “Wannabe Cowboy” and follow up “Hole In The Wall,” leading him to 3.4 million streams worldwide and placements on high-profile playlists like Spotify’s New Boots, Fresh Country and Next From Nashville.

“I’m so dang grateful to be with such a stellar team,” shares King. “They’ve been there since day one and have been behind some of my favorite artists of all time. I’m proud to have a home team here in Nashville. I’m ready to get to work.”

King released a new track today titled “Slow Down,” which he wrote with Thomas Archer, Kyle Fishman and Michael Tyler. Produced by Ryan Wilson, the song tells the story of a narrator reflecting on a failed relationship, haunted by the memory of his ex.

“I wrote ‘Slow Down’ with Thomas Archer, Kyle Fishman and Michael Tyler. We wanted to capture the feeling of seeing someone you loved move on quickly and the pain of not being able to get them off your mind. It’s a story that I think a lot of people can relate to—that classic small-town experience where, after a breakup, there’s no escaping the memories. In a town that small, they follow you around everywhere, no matter where you go,” King shares.

“I love the vibe and the beat behind this song. It’s also a chance for my fans to hear something musically different from what I’ve released in the past, with more variety and depth to my sound. Writing songs that people can connect with is one of my favorite things to do, and I think most people have been through something like this at some point.”
