While rock legends such as Jimi Hendrix and Slash typically dominate the "best guitarist ever" conversations, country music is no slouch when it comes to producing legendary shredders.

The Boot counts down 2016's very best country songs.

Chris Young, Randy Houser and Frankie Ballard have been announced as the headliners for the 2017 Headwaters Country Jam, set to take place in Montana in June.

"I started this band 12 years ago in Kalamazoo Michigan man, and I've never looked back and we have been hammerin' it and hammerin' it just trying to get better." That strategy is working out nicely for Frankie Ballard who to this point has already had 3 different songs go to number one in country airplay...

When I started at WGNA earlier this year, everyone told me Taste of Country and GNA's Countryfest were the 2 highlights of the year. I got to knock one off the list this weekend!

Frankie Ballard absolutely accomplishes what he set out to do with El Rio, his third studio album.

There are ten country albums on the 2016 calendar and more than a dozen more planned, but not yet scheduled, plus those we just know are going to drop. Like Miranda Lambert? She has to release an album filled with emotional love and heartbreak songs this year, right?

Five red-hot, rising country acts will usher in Christmas with a twang bang this fall. The fifth annual Taste of Country Christmas Tour features dates with Frankie Ballard, Chase Rice, Old Dominion, Canaan Smith and a Thousand Horses. Tickets go on sale this week.

"The show must go on." We've heard that sentiment expressed in the music business many, many times over the years. But have you ever stopped to ask yourself why?

This is not your father's country music — and that's a good thing.

Frankie Ballard's "Young and Crazy" is about living life to the fullest and taking advantage of situations — even if sometimes, you get hurt.
