The 142,000-acre ranch located in Guthrie, Texas, was originally listed for a whopping $340 million, however the most recent listing from Chas S Middleton showed a price of $192,202,200.

Prior to 2015, Chris Stapleton was the best kept secret in country music, perhaps all of music in general, except it really wasn’t much of a secret to anyone actually in country music. In fact, Dierks Bentley more or less predicted Chris Stapleton’s rise to fame…. more than 15 years ago.

Well that wasn’t what I was expecting from that duo…but I’m not mad at it. Lukas Nelson, son of the legendary Willie Nelson and an incredible artist in his own right, was in Nashville tonight performing in the Neon Steeple at Eric Church‘s downtown bar, Chief’s. The show was just one of many going on tonight in Nashville as CMA Fest week kicks off, but from the looks of it, it was the one you didn’t want to miss.

Can’t we just enjoy the show? Taylor Sheridan has yet another massive hit on his hands with the success of his latest series Landman. The show from the creator of Yellowstone features an all-star cast including Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, Andy Garcia, Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland, and Michelle Randolph, among others, and follows a landman for an oil company, played by Thornton, trying to navigate the West Texas oil business and all that comes with it during an oil boom.
Eric Church Reveals The Six Most Important Songs Of His Career - And “Springsteen” Isn’t On The List

2 days ago | whiskeyriff.com | Aaron Ryan

It may be his signature song, but it’s not one of the most important. Of course Eric Church has a lot of “signature songs” at this point. That’s just what happens after two decades, 8 albums, and a fanbase as passionate as the “Church Choir” who know all of the words to every song. There’s no doubt that each song he’s recorded has special meaning to Church in one way or another – especially given the fact that he’s had a hand in writing all but a handful of songs that he’s released over the years.

Can’t be giving away his location like that. Celebrities have a hard enough time keeping their private life out of the public eye. From paparazzi waiting to snap pictures to fans who are always around trying to record videos on their cell phone any time they see someone famous out in public, there’s no doubt that it can be tough when you want to just get away and live a normal life for a little while. And you definitely don’t want a billboard advertising your location.
Tracy Lawrence Thinks The ’90s Will End Up Being Like Classic Rock For Country Music: “It’s Gonna Be The Go-To Era”

2 days ago | whiskeyriff.com | Quinn Eaton

Could the ’90s country era really be far enough in the past to be considered “classic” at this point? Tracy Lawrence certainly thinks so, and considering the fact that he had plenty of hits himself in that decade, I feel like we’ve got to hear him out on this one.
