Just when you thought it was safe to listen to country radio again, here comes some more bro country.
To varying degrees, that’s what Bailey Zimmerman, Timothy Wayne and Thomas Rhett are offering, as was last month’s Luke Bryan.
On the brighter side, we have forward-looking country singles this week by Caylee Hammack, Kelsea Ballerini & Noah Kahan, Fancy Hagood and Tanner Adell. Not to mention Maren Morris’s pop outing with Julia Michaels. All of them were in contention for Disc of the Day.
But the Disc of the Day prize goes to Morgan Wallen, who is coming off what is shaping up to be the biggest single of the year, “I Had Some Help,” his No. 1 duet with Post Malone. His fine “Lies, Lies, Lies” performance will continue his unbroken string of authentic hits.
Our DISCovery Award winner is Daniel Jeffers, a North Carolinian with all his country bona fides in place.
MORGAN WALLEN / “Lies, Lies, Lies”
Writers: Chris Tompkins/Daniel Ross/Jessie Jo Dillon/Josh Miller; Producer: Joey Moi; Label: Big Loud Records/Mercury Records/Republic Records
– If he tells himself, or her, that he is over the heartbreak, he is lying. The lovelorn lament is beautifully produced, and Wallen’s delivery, as usual, is hillbilly perfection. Essential listening, especially the live version recorded at Abby Road studios.
TANNER ADELL / “Cowboy Break My Heart”
Writers: Akil “worldwidefresh” King/Anthony Germaine White/Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor/Tanner Adell/Will Weatherly; Producers: Tanner Adell, Di Genius,Will Weatherly, Akil “worldwidefresh” King; Label: LVRN Records
– Bopping and frisky with a snappy electronic rhythm track underscoring her solid vocal. Adell is having a dandy year. She was chosen for CMT’s 2024 Next Women of Country tour, appeared on the Beyoncé album, has a track on the blockbuster Twisters soundtrack, signed a new record deal, appeared on Macy’s July 4th TV special and became the first female country act to perform on the BET Awards, where she introduced this audio delight on June 30.
KENNY CHESNEY / “Just To Say We Did”
Writers: Brett James/David Lee Murphy/Kenny Chesney/Matt Dragstrem; Producers: Buddy Cannon, Kenny Chesney; Label: Blue Chair Records/Warner Music Nashville
– Kids do crazy stuff. “No rhyme or reason why/It just seemed like the thing to do at the time.” The rollicking production is like an exciting surf-board ride, and Chesney’s vocal has immense verve. Made for summer.
FANCY HAGOOD / “Through”
Writers: Caitlyn Smith/Fancy Hagood; Producer: Jarrad K; Label: FH
– What a groove. Love the cool, crunchy bop tempo. The catchy, uplifting song is about getting through heartache and heading for a better place. “This is for the lost and the broken hearted,” he sings while tapping his toes. “One day you’ll just wake up laughing” as if the pain had never happened.
MAREN MORRIS & JULIA MICHAELS / “Cut!”
Writers: Caroline Ailin/Joel Little/Julia Michaels/Maren Morris; Producer: Joel Little; Label: Columbia Records
– She’s a flawless model of having it all together while out and about. Behind closed doors, however, she’s weeping and screaming. Wonderfully produced pop with loads of melodic hooks. So nice I played it twice. Programmer alert: There is a rather loud “f-bomb” in the lyric.
MORGAN WADE / “Moth To A Flame”
Writer: Morgan Wade; Producer: Clint Wells; Label: Ladylike Records/RCA Nashville
– It’s a guitar ballad about lasting love that has a sensual vocal intimacy underscored by a sighing steel and piano chords. Riveting and hypnotic.
THOMAS RHETT / “Feelin’ Country”
Writers: Ashley Gorley/Chase McGill/Chris LaCorte/Parker Welling/Thomas Rhett; Producers: Dann Huff, Julian Bunetta; Label: Atlantic Records
– Loads of rockin’ fun. He’s along for the ride as she beckons him to join her in a hick-time good time. Happy sounding, for sure. Drawn from the soundtrack of Twisters, which is packed with a country who’s who. Both the film and the soundtrack drop on July 19.
CAYLEE HAMMACK / “The Hill”
Writers: Caylee Hammack/Logan Wall/Tenille Townes; Producer: John Osborne; Label: Capitol Nashville
– A minor-key fiddle saws enthusiastically and a backbeat thumps righteously beneath her spectacular vocal delivery. Passion in every note. I remain an enormous fan. This lady is the for-real deal.
BAILEY ZIMMERMAN / “New To Country”
Writers: Austin Shawn/Bailey Zimmerman/Heath Warren/Jacob Hackworth/Tim Galloway; Producer: Austin Shawn; Label: Warner Music Nashville/Elektra
– This current country ‘it’ guy says he is still the same good ol’ boy as always. Truck, mud, whiskey and rowdy friends are all cited in this tuneless rock outing.
DANIEL JEFFERS / “Roll One With Willie”
Writers: Ben Chase/Chris Buck/Daniel Jeffers/Jake Parshall/Zach John King; Producer: none listed; Label: DJ
– This wailin’ North Carolina honky tonker knows that if he could just toke up with Willie, life’s problems and issues would all make sense somehow. The lyric name checks Waylon, Jones and Merle as it yearns for a time when “country was true to itself.”
KELSEA BALLERINI & NOAH KAHAN / “Cowboys Cry Too”
Writers: Alysa Vanderheym/Kelsea Ballerini/Noah Kahan; Producer: Kelsea Ballerini, Alysa Vanderheym; Label: Black River Entertainment
– The delicate production is exquisite, and these two vocalists blend like they’ve been singing together all their lives. The swirly ballad is folkie, poppy and country simultaneously. Great listening.
TIMOTHY WAYNE / “God Made A Country Boy”
Writers: Brad Warren/Brett Warren/Lance Miller; Producer: Tim McGraw, Byron Gallimore; Label: UMG Nashville
– Well sung. But the song comes across as a series of routine, paint-by-numbers country-music cliches. Wayne is Tim McGraw’s nephew.

Morgan Wallen performed for 50,000 fans during his sold-out debut at London’s Hyde Park yesterday (July 4)—marking the largest country concert ever held in the United Kingdom.
The show marked Wallen’s first U.K. appearance since performing for a sold-out crowd at The O2 in December. His 24-song set featured a solo rendition of he and Post Malone’s history-making collaboration, “I Had Some Help,” and an acoustic performance of his new single, “Lies Lies Lies.” Wallen then closed out the milestone evening with “The Way I Talk” from his 2018 debut album, If I Know Me.

Written by Jessie Jo Dillon, Josh Miller, Daniel Ross and Chris Tompkins, and produced by Joey Moi, the superstar timed the release of “Lies Lies Lies” to his return to the city where it was originally recorded as a part of his Abbey Road Sessions, which he released on March 3 to celebrate the one-year anniversary of One Thing At A Time. As Wallen prepared to take the stage, the record-breaking collection’s cover art was projected throughout Camden and Southbank as well as onto Tate Modern and the Wellington Arch. He also surprised fans with the drop of a U.K.-exclusive “Lies Lies Lies” physical CD.
With a portion of every ticket purchased to his live shows benefitting the Morgan Wallen Foundation (MWF), which operates on the core belief that all children deserve a chance to thrive, play and create through sports and music, the MWF earmarked $20,000 to support London Youth Choirs (LYC), whose mission is to improve access to music for disadvantaged youth.
Wallen will travel overseas once again to kick off his first-ever European tour in Stockholm, Sweden on Aug. 28. The seven-show run will include stops in Copenhagen, Denmark; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Glasgow, U.K. and more before concluding with two back-to-back nights in Dublin, Ireland.

Music industry veteran Mary Martin has passed away on Thursday night (July 4) at Alive Hospice. The news was posted on social media and shared by The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
“Time and again, Mary Martin spotted great talents and elevated their careers,” said Kyle Young, CEO of the CMHOFM. “Early on, she connected Bob Dylan to her friends the Hawks, who became the Band. She managed Leonard Cohen in his first musical outings, then guided the budding solo careers of Van Morrison, Rodney Crowell and Vince Gill. At Warner Bros., she signed future Country Music Hall of Fame member Emmylou Harris, at RCA she helped sign and develop Clint Black and Lorrie Morgan, and she encouraged a young Keith Urban to move from Australia to Nashville. Mary’s unerring feel for songs and performers was legendary, and she was a fierce ally for the artists she represented.”
Born in 1939 in Toronto, Canada, Martin began her career in New York in 1962 as executive assistant to artist manager Albert Grossman, who guided the careers of Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Peter, Paul & Mary and others. She went out on her own four years later, and managed the early career of Leonard Cohen and then Van Morrison.
In 1972, she joined Warner Bros. Records in New York, where she signed Emmylou Harris, Leon Redbone and The Marshall Tucker Band. Moving to Los Angeles at the end of the ’70s, she returned to artist management, working with Rodney Crowell and Vince Gill. She also gave production assistance to Crowell for artists he produced like Rosanne Cash, Sissy Spacek, Guy Clark and Albert Lee, and initiated the fan clubs and oversaw the creation of a successful merchandising venture for both artists during this time.
Martin moved to Nashville in 1985 and became Vice President of RCA Records, where she worked with Gill, Clint Black, Paul Overstreet, Aaron Tippin and Lorrie Morgan.
She became the Executive Director of ECO (Earth Communications Office) in 1991, overseeing fundraising and other activities for the nonprofit. She consulted with the A&R department of Asylum Records from ’94 – ’96 before joining Mercury Records as Vice President in 1999. Martin won a Grammy in 2002 for her work on the Hank Williams tribute album Timeless, which featured Dylan, Johnny Cash, Keith Richards, Tom Petty and others.
SOURCE inducted Martin into its Hall of Fame in 2007. She was honored at the Louise Scruggs Memorial Forum in 2009. Martin inspired generations of music industry professionals, especially women.
Memorial services have not yet been announced.

Nashville wrapped another sparkling fourth of July celebration downtown with its annual “Let Freedom Sing!” event, drawing a record 355,000 people in spite of the oppressive heat and a temporary downpour.
The lineup of music featured headliner Chris Young as well as Girl Named Tom and Blessing Offor. Yola‘s scheduled performance did not take place due to the weather delay. To help keep attendees safe in the severe heat, safety precautions were put in place including misting tents and hydration stations. Red Frogs volunteers handed out free water, misting, sunscreen and more.
For the first time ever, the massive fireworks display incorporated drones into the 30-minute show high above the city, which were choreographed to a live musical performance by the Nashville Symphony.
“Once again, Music City delivered another spectacular Independence Day celebration, and the fireworks and drone show choreographed to the Nashville Symphony was a highlight,” says Deana Ivey, President and CEO, Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. “Thank you to headliner Chris Young and our wonderful lineup, as well as all our event partners, Metro agencies and everyone who celebrated with us.”

Industry veteran Charlie Peacock is set to release his memoir, Roots & Rhythm: A Life In Music, early next year via William. B. Eerdmans Publishing. The book will touch on his journey from the beginning of his career to now, acting as a tribute to the joy and perseverance in his life in music as well as the ancestral and musical influences that have shaped his career.
He describes the novel as a “chapter-by-chapter remix of the music, places and people that made me and the music I made.” Roots & Rhythm: A Life In Music will include retellings of his time developing Switchfoot, producing The Civil Wars, co-writing Amy Grant’s “Every Heartbeat” and more.
Peacock’s 50-year career as an artist has brought him Grammy Awards, solo albums, hit productions with acts such as Chris Cornell, Holly Williams and more. He is also the Founder of re:think, a label that has signed Switchfoot, among others, and created the Commercial Music program at Nashville’s Lipscomb University.
Additionally, Peacock is known for his pioneering contributions to gospel rock and the Americana/Folk movement of the 2000s as well as his jazz explorations with bassist John Patitucci.
Along with the new book, he plans to release a solo album, co-produced with Sam Ashworth, in the near future. Like the novel, the album takes a reflective look backward, using the lessons learned and inspiration gained from the five decades.
