Tenille Townes has a theory about UK audiences: we’re the land of second verses. “You guys listen through the whole song. You know even the second verse,” she told me when we caught up ahead of her Living Room Tour. For an artist bringing a stripped-back show across the Atlantic, that sounds like a pretty ideal crowd.

Does Max McNown ever stop making music? I’m beginning to think he’s the busiest man in country music, but you won’t catch me complaining about a new Max record. Leave On A Light is his third studio album, and he hasn’t exactly kept it brief. Seventeen songs!

From the opening seconds of Fast As I Can Crawl, subtlety is very much off the table. This is the kind of song that makes you want to pull on a pair of boots, find the nearest dive bar and kick the doors open on arrival. It’s gritty, raw and packed with swagger - and within one track, Play Boy has already made its intentions very clear.

It’s been four years since Drew Baldridge released a full-length album, but with FARM FAITH FAMILY, he proves that sometimes good things really are worth waiting for. In this case? We’ve struck country gold.

Everyone knows Riley Green. From the hits and high-profile collaborations to the stage presence that has made him one of country music’s biggest touring names, Green has spent the past few years steadily cementing his place at the forefront of the genre. What perhaps nobody expected, though, was a sprawling 19-track album arriving in September.

I think one of the most nerve-wracking things you can do as an artist is release your debut album. It’s the first real, physical documentation of the music you’ve spent years writing, playing live and touring with - suddenly available for anyone to listen to, dissect and fall in love with whenever they want.

Warren Zeiders is mentally preparing himself. Not for another tour, the jet lag of another trip across the Atlantic or even the prospect of facing a Glasgow crowd again... His new album is about to come out.

Ryan and Rory have discovered two things about the UK. We know how to do country music, and apparently, we know how to party. After making their first trip across the pond for C2C earlier this year, the duo wasted absolutely no time finding an excuse to come back, returning less than six months later for The Long Road Festival in Lutterworth.

Tyler Halverson was the kid who turned up to cattle shows with a mohawk and a skateboard. That probably tells you quite a lot about the country artist he would eventually become.

There’s something slightly different about interviewing an artist after you’ve watched them tear a stage apart. Usually, I’m backstage before the show, chatting about what’s about to happen. This time, I’d already watched James Johnston walk out in front of a packed SWG3 crowd, bring a bagpiper onto the stage and somehow turn a Glasgow gig into what felt like a country nightclub.

Every time I interview Ty Myers, something huge seems to happen afterwards. The first time we sat down, he was days away from becoming the youngest artist to ever play C2C Festival. Fast forward a few months and he's dropped his album, clocked up over a billion streams, put his own soulful spin on Amy Winehouse's Valerie and found himself opening stadiums across Europe for Luke Combs.

Sometimes there are shows that you go along to review, and then there are the ones that take a good 24 hours to fully process what you've just witnessed. Luke Combs' double-header at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium is right up there with one of the best concerts I've not only had the chance to review, but one of the best live experiences I've ever had.

LiveWithLP caught up with Josh Ross to chat all things new music, why UK fans are some of his favourites, and a surprise new hobby that had everyone talking.

There’s something about Koe Wetzel’s voice that just keeps getting better with every release. Effortlessly progressing from record to record, his latest album, The Night Champion, proves exactly why he continues to be one of the most exciting artists in country-rock right now.

When you're four studio albums deep, how do you manage to create a fifth that's somehow your best yet? We'll have to ask the guys in Midland, because their latest release, Stages, is one for the history books.

This isn't just Alana Springsteen's most vulnerable album to date; it's her strongest. Honest, relatable and beautifully written from start to finish, I HOPE THIS HELPS proves exactly why Alana continues to establish herself as one of country music's most exciting young artists.

We caught up with Ian to talk touring the UK for the first time, unexpected fan favourites and just how many pints he managed during his Glasgow stop

LiveWithLP caught up with Bayker Blakenship backstage at Stagecoach Festival to talk new music, British crowds, and why he considers himself an “Ella Fella”.

At just 18, Ty Myers delivers a stunning sophomore album with Heavy on the Soul, blending country, soul, and blues. Recorded at Muscle Shoals’ iconic Fame Studios, this 17-track masterpiece showcases his storytelling, emotional depth, and genre-defying talent.

Emily Ann Roberts, the breakout country star behind ‘Whipped,’ chats with LiveWithLP in Europe about her rise to fame, performing with Keith Urban, C2C festival highlights, and staying true to herself as her music wins fans worldwide.
