THE JACK WHARFF BAND / “No Way Out”
Writers: David “Messy” Mescon/Jack Wharff/Mikey Reaves/Wes Critt; Producer: David “Messy” Mescon; Label: Big Machine Records
– Minor-key moodiness as the anguished tenor vocalist finds himself trapped and helpless. “Nothing left to lose,” he cries as a deep-echo twang bass guitar throbs in sympathy. For a peppier experience, check out the band’s new tempo tune “A Month, a Week, a Day.” It ripples with the longing of a guy who’s been on the road too long. The Jack Wharff Band is scheduled to for its debut Opry appearance next week, on Feb. 10.
HARDY, TIM McGRAW, ERIC CHURCH & MORGAN WALLEN / “McArthur”
Writers: Chase McGill/Jameson Rodgers/Josh Thompson/Michael Hardy; Producer: Jay Joyce; Label: Big Loud Records
– Wow. What a song. A poor man’s meditation on morality and passing value along through the generations. Deeply stirring. No wonder the superstars climbed on board HARDY’s wagon.
KASHUS CULPEPPER / “Man of His Word”
Writers: Kashus Culpepper/Natalie Hemby; Producer: Brian Elmquist; Label: Big Loud/Mercury Records
– Culpepper brought down the house on Tuesday evening (Feb. 3) when he performed this on ABC-TV’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. His effortless folk-soul voice delivered the message in a groove-soaked arrangement that was just delicious. “She don’t need a man that keeps talking/She needs a man of his word.” One of Nashville’s most exciting new voices. Make this his year.
GEORGE BIRGE & LUKE BRYAN / “Ride, Ride, Ride”
Writers: Casey Brown/George Birge/Parker Welling/Tyler Hubbard; Producer: Casey Brown; Label: RECORDS Nashville
– An old cowhand shares his memories of hard times with a youngster. The secret to a good life is to ride on through the midnight storm. The youngster replies that it’s all worth the grit and perseverance. The big production gives this stately oomph, and both vocalists give it their all.
ANA CHRISTINA CASH / “Daybreak”
Writers: Ana Christina Cash/Gabriella Scotto/Willie Breeding; Producers: John Carter Cash, Willie Breeding; Label: Avondale Records
– Need a little summertime right now? Let the steamy sizzle of this slow-groove burner take you there. South Florida native Cash fantasizes about getting away from it all in a tropical paradise as “a couple of beach bums” who are “barely wearing clothes.” She sings, “We need a day break,” and do we ever. This is the lead track on the Cuban-American’s just-released, bi-lingual album The Sunshine State. Also check out “Cheap Margaritas” and “Last Call.”
BRIAN KELLEY / “93 in the Keys”
Writers: Summer Overstreet/Rian Ball/Aaron Raitiere; Producer: Katlin Owen; Label: Nashville South Records

MIKE PARKER / “My Heart Your Hands”
Writers: Bryan Simpson/Josh Kerr/Shy Carter; Producer: Jimmy Robbins; Label: Mailbox Money Records
– This former American Idol finalist has moved to Nashville and issued his debut single. It’s a slow-jam soul ballad with a deeply romantic lyric. Valentine’s Day is next week, and Parker has the soundtrack.
REBA McENTIRE, BRANDY CLARK & LUKAS NELSON / “Trailblazer”
Writers: Brandy Clark/Lainey Wilson/Miranda Lambert; Producer: Brandy Clark, Reba McEntire; Label: Rockin’ R Records
– McEntire re-imagines her 2025 song with able assistance from co-writer and co-producer Brandy Clark plus a lovely Lukas Nelson guitar solo. Sunday’s Grammy telecast spotlit the Country Music Hall of Famer and her two stellar harmony singers during its In Memorium segment, and it was mighty, mighty touching
HARPER GRACE / “If Daddy Says No”
Writers: none listed; Producer: none listed; Label: Curb Records
– She’s torn between her love for her father and her suitor. What is she going to do if her daddy doesn’t approve of him and won’t walk her down the aisle? The ballad’s wooshing production frames Grace’s highly expressive vocal performance perfectly.
ERNEST / “Lorelei”
Writers: Ben Hayslip/Ernest Keith Smith/Mark Holman/Rhett Akins; Producers: ERNEST, Jacob Durrett; Label: Big Loud Records
– He’s a seafarer who is on a fruitless quest for an elusive woman. In German mythology, the Lorelei is a siren on the Rhine River rocks who lures sailors to their doom. But this gal sounds a lot more merry and jaunty than that. The bopping, sunshiny groove is addictive. Play this.
EDDIE SANDERS, LARRY CORDLE, JOHN COWAN & SHAWN CAMP / “Calling Me”
Writer: Edgar Sanders; Producers: Eddie Sanders, Scott Vestal; Label: True Lonesome Records
– Toe-tapping bluegrass gospel with an all-star cast. Everybody gets a shot at a lead vocal, and listening for each of my favorites was fun. The arrangement is banjo dominant, but there’s plenty of slippery fiddling, too.
KENT BLAZY / “American Dreamers”
Writer: Kent Blazy; Producer: Kent Blazy; Label: KB
– Blazy has written many hit for others, but he also makes records, himself. This one’s a rocking, Springsteen-y anthem for musician dreamers everywhere. Earnest and energetic, with homemade charm.
THE INFAMOUS STRINGDUSTERS / “Up From the Bottom”
Writers: Andrew Falco/Andrew Hall/Christopher Pandolfi/Jeremy Garret/Travis Book; Producer: The Infamous Stringdusters; Label: Americana Vibes
– This jam-grass band is celebrating its 20th anniversary with an album titled 20/20. This track explains its longevity—these are acoustic-music guys with a rock & roll attitude. The shifting tempos, hearty harmonies and ear tickling instrumental virtuosity are all in full flight here.
Rissi Palmer Offers ‘Perspectives’ On New Four-Song EP, Out Now
/by Lorie HollabaughRissi Palmer‘s new four-song Perspectives EP is out today (Feb. 6).
In celebration of the release, Palmer is making a series of special appearances in Nashville today, including guesting on WSM Radio’s Coffee, Country & Cody. This afternoon, her Apple Music Country show Color Me Country with Rissi Palmer will air live from Nashville, featuring music from Perspectives, a surprise guest host, and a special live performance by Palmer. Fans can tune in at 1 p.m. CT on Apple Music Country.
Later tonight, Palmer will return to the Grand Ole Opry to perform songs from the new album, continuing a historic relationship that began with her groundbreaking debut in 2007 and has included multiple Opry appearances over the years.
Produced primarily by Shannon Sanders, Perspectives was sparked by Palmer’s time on the 2025 “Trailblazing Women of Country Tour,” where honoring the legacies of Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton reconnected her to the genre’s storytelling roots. On “Somebody Somewhere,” the lone track produced by Dan Knobler, Palmer revisits the Loretta Lynn classic with quiet reverence and inhabits the song through her own lived experience, embodying the spirit behind the EP’s title.
“Making new music has been my focus for the last year and I am so excited to share it with the world,” says Palmer. “With so much happening in the world right now, I’m trying to do my best to use my music and voice to amplify and resist through joy and hope.”
Perspectives Track List:
1. “Old Black Southern Woman” – Rissi Palmer/Kyshona Lamiere
2. “Can You Run?” – Chris Stapleton/Mike Henderson
3. “Good To Me” – Rissi Palmer/Shannon Sanders/Hilton Wright II
4. “Somebody Somewhere (Don’t Know What He’s Missin’ Tonight)” – Lola Jean Dillon

/by Lorie HollabaughThe Jack Wharff Band will release their new EP Strange March 13 via Big Machine Records.
Comprised of five songs and featuring previously released tracks “Ole Virginia,” and “Saved,” Strange explores themes of self-discovery, love, freedom and faith.
The band is offering fans a taste of the new project with their longing new track “A Month, A Week, A Day (With Solon Holt)” out today.

“We wrote ‘A Month, A Week, A Day’ during a time when the distance between us and our loved ones was weighing on us,” shares Jack Wharff. “We hope that people who might relate to that loneliness find some comfort in the song and are reminded how lucky we are to have people in our lives who are worth missing so much.”
On Tuesday (Feb. 10), the band will take a break from their headlining “From The Hills To The Holler Tour” to make their Grand Ole Opry debut. The four-piece received the surprise invitation from Old Crow Medicine Show’s Ketch Secor in December.
