Without even looking it up, Col Neeham knows that Nicole Kidman was born in Honolulu in 1967. That’s what 50 years as an obsessive film fan with an attention to detail and an engineering degree will get you: an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the entertainment industry, right at the apex of the internet supernova. But Needham’s story about the 35-year-old IMDb is so much better than just right time, right place.

Most of today’s biggest country stars would look good singing in just about anything. But man, when they look the part? That elevates everything they do, say, write and sing. And when it comes naturally, even something like shiny pair of spurs seems to fit the fit check.

Angel White still lives in the same house in the same small Texas town where he was born and raised. And he loves that nothing about that life has changed. Well, except his name. Born Khalil Hall, he came up with his new pseudonym Angel White when he was about 20 years old. “’Angel’ comes from the angels in life that people interact with, whether they know it or not. And then White is my family’s last name,” he says of the change he made ten years ago.

When Riley Green was playing music in bars around his hometown in Alabama, he had business cards printed. They said “Riley Green, Country Music Singer” and had his phone number right under that. But now, at 35, those old business cards don’t even begin to do justice to who Green has become. C&I sat down with Green in his brand new Nashville bar Duck Blind – the steak biscuits are a must -- to find out more about his path to Music Row success without ever actually making the move to Tennessee.

Two years ago, at the Super Bowl LVII, Chris Stapleton became the very epitome of a tough act to follow. He made “The Star-Spangled Banner” his own, he nailed it, and everybody felt it. So much so that some of the football players themselves were caught crying on camera, like Jason Kelce and coach Nick Sirianni. And while the invitation to sing our anthem at the Super Bowl is always an honor, some artists are reluctant to accept it. Perhaps because of the a cappella nature of the performance.

Chancey Williams has been making country music – the genuine cowboy kind – for the last 15 years. But his new release is the first time he’s penned a tribute to his Uncle Don, who he told C&I is the best cowboy he knows. In a call from his place in Wyoming, Williams described his uncle, his father and his grandfather as cowboys who got things done the old-fashioned way: herding sheep, riding bareback, working horses, and understanding how a horse thinks.

This new Ashley McBryde song isn’t just a cowboy song. There are pastures and prairies and circling wagons. But there’s a deeper meaning to the three-and-a-half-minute metaphor. “Instead of us saying, ‘Work ethic’s out the window, stick-to-it code’s pretty much dead and idealism is gone,’ it was easier to say that by saying there is no wild out west. That’s all gone,” McBryde told Cowboys & Indians a few days before the song’s release.
