Lori is facing stage 4 pancreatic cancer and Jenny wanted to make her smile.

Everyone needs a drink and to calm the heck down. There's no doubt that 2013 has had Nashville's panties in a complete bunch. Mainstream Country Music is evolving; it's more electric guitars, more rapping infused, less fiddle, less steel banjo...

Everyone has heard "The Christmas Song". We've all heard "Jingle Bells". We all have our favorite versions of those songs. But what about the songs that you can only hear on country radio?

Justin Moore says this is a song he probably wouldn't have cut ever, let alone write.

For Chris Young, a new album is an opportunity to push himself further both creatively and vocally. This comes with risks. It's easy to push too far and find your fans responding with criticism, or even worse, ambivalence. That doesn't seem like it's going to be a problem for this 28-year-old.

Zac Brown is clearly very opinionated. He's opinionated he says because he cares about country music. He has no problem publicly saying that Luke Bryan's latest song 'That's My Kinda Night' "is garbage". There's no doubt about it that Luke Bryan is the new country...

Heavy production stamps Leah Turner's debut single 'Take the Keys.' The love story is thick with effects and vocal reverb, but really, the time has never been more right for this type of song.

Have you ever been at your favorite musician’s show, and the poser standing next to you in a tour shirt with the tag still connected, turns to you and says, "These guys are rad, but I wish they’d just play ."

Morgan Frazier's new single 'Hey Bully' is a neat and tidy soundtrack for an anti-bullying PSA. The singer shares a story she seems intimately familiar with, but the scattered lyrics don't quite latch on as tightly as one hopes.

Jason Michael Carroll pulls back the production to reveal a new sensitivity in his single 'Close Enough.' The singer has a unique way of taking a phrase and turning, twisting and shaping it to mean several different things within a three-minute song. It's a talent that's on display once again during this regret-filled ballad.

Charlie Worsham's debut album is about as splashy as a summer drought -- but that's not his style. The Mississippi-born instrumentalist puts his schooling to work on 'Rubberband,' an album that will compete for the best debut effort of 2013.

We haven't heard anything from Sara Evans in quite some time since “A Little Bit Stronger”, but she's back with a brand-new song called "Slow Me Down", and hopefully we'll hear her real soon again on WYRK.
