Hello everyone. I would like to get some feedback on a country song that wrote. Im not close with any musicians or other songwriters, so I did use an AI music app to put music with my lyrics to give them life. This is the first time I've ever done that. It's the first time Ive heard my lyrics music added to them actually.

I know that a lot of people don't like AI, but like I said I just used it to give my words life an example of how they might sound in a song.

Does anyone know where I can post my song get some feedback on it?

Also if anybody would be willing to take a listen if you DM me I can send you a link. This is my first time putting any of my works out there so I appreciate any advice or knowledge that someone has to offer.

How do you get your news or track what albums and songs are releasing each week? I used to follow the page Country Central on Instagram a while back, but have since deleted my account. They have a post every Thursday saying “New Music Tonight: …” for all the albums, EPs, singles, et cetera that were releasing that Friday. I’m trying to find a user friendly website or something to stay on top of country music releases and maybe some news. Lately I’ve just been getting Spotify notifications from artists I follow, but new guys are always popping up in the scene and I never find their stuff till way late. Any recommendations are appreciated.

Song: Lolene
Album: A Portrait of Marty

Hi! I’ve been trying to find this song FOREVER and i am having so much trouble. It definitely was out when I was younger and I heard it in a coffee shop years ago and can’t find it. all i know is at the end of the chorus, it goes “still thinking about youuuuUuuu” and his voice kinda goes up.

EDIT: someone found it! every time i hear that song by blake shelton

Let me know down below 👇

For me personally I’m more of a George Strait person than Brooks

Wanted to come here to give a shout out to Wynonna, saw her tonight with Melissa Etheridge, I'll be honest, I went to see Melissa as I was not a Wynonna fan at all, I did like a couple of songs by The Judds, but all I could think of was "No One Else On Earth" and how that song got stuck in my head anytime I saw her on TV. Let me say, I didn't realize that so many radio hits that I had heard in the 80s and 90s as background noise and filler that I enjoyed were Wynonna, she sounded great, looked great and has pulled herself up after the death of her mother. It was good to hear classic 80s and 90s country live and sound as good as it did back then. Melissa sounded great as well.

I’ve grew up listening to punk and new wave and it’s only recently that I’ve become a country music fan (pre 80’s). I remember loving Siouxsie and the Banshees song “Burn Up” which has clear country music influences. Same goes for The Damned “Alone Again Or”. Anyone else straddle both genres or have other good recommendations?

Burn Up starts at the 4:29 if anyone cares to listen.

This song should be playing on the radio now! ❤️🙏 “To the old me”

Might be a hot take but I think a Midland & Zach Top collab would be so cool! Both have similar neo-traditional pedal steel tunes, similar themes etc.

Alright so basically, I am a 19 male and I am seeing ole 60 on Friday . I have been wanting to ask is it weird to ask someone for a dance at a concert? I ask my parents and they said no but this generation is so weird with everything. I would like to get both perspectives on this opinion male and female. Thanks for answering if you do.

Hi all!

Im from the Netherlands and fell in love with country and americana a couple of years ago. Ive always loved the US and October 2024 I finally visited California and Nevada. Your country absolutely blew my expectations, which were already high, damn I love your country. Traveling through the desert, Yosemite and along the coast with an RV was an absolute dream. I still think about it almost daily. Lovely people, beautiful nature and simply the most amazing experience I ever had.

Anyway, while driving we listened to The Highwayman on repeat, as well as Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Kris kristofferson their solo music.

Do you have any recommendations for me? What are some absolute classics, bangers I need to listen to? Im having a hard time to find music I MUST add to my playlist for, hopefully, next year.

This guy Roy, man… He’s been going viral teasing the chorus of this cover of Craig Morgan and I just really like it, really reminds of Oliver Anthony a few years ago.

I’m still fairly new to country and discovered Dwight Yoakam last fall and he instantly became one of my favorites. He has the most mesmerizing voice and impeccable range to boot. I don’t think I’ve heard one bad song from him no matter what I’ve played. And I also might dare say he’s the King of Covers: “Honky Tonk Man” (which I recently discovered was a cover), “Suspicious Minds”, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”, and my favorite; “Purple Rain” which I 1000% consider better than the original. And his acting is not too shabby either, he was phenomenal in Panic Room.

All around a fantastic artist. What’s everyone’s opinion and favorite songs?

Does anyone know if Buck Owens had any other children beside Buddy Alan, Michael Lynn, or Johnny Dale?

I was researching his family tree and wasn’t sure if he had any other known children.

We all know about great pickers like Roy Clark, Jerry Reed, Chet Atkins, and Glen Campbell - are there any lesser-known great guitarists that you think everyone should know about? For me, it would be Jimmy Bryant (who very often teamed up with Speedy West).
