Little Big Town, Sugarland Release "Take Me Home," Announce Joint Tour: Prior to their live world premiere of the song on last night's "CMT Music Awards," Little Big Town and Sugarland released their cover version of Phil Collins' "Take Me Home." Along with the new single, the two bands announced that they were embarking on a joint tour later this year. The "Take Me Home" tour hits 18 cities starting on October 24 in Greenville, South Carolina and wrapping on December 13 in Nashville. See all the tour dates on Little Big Town's website.

Morgan Wallen Fans Boo Taylor Swift Joke: So when do Morgan Wallen fans boo Morgan Wallen? It happened over the weekend at a concert at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Morgan stopped down to thank fans for helping set attendance records the venue for two straight nights, which had never been done before. He joked that he planned on holding on to the record until Taylor Swift played the stadium in the fall, a comment that elicited some boos from the crowd. "You ain't gotta boo, you ain't gotta boo her," he quickly said. "I appreciate that, I know y'all got my back, though." See the video of Morgan's Taylor Swift joke and the crowd's response here. 

Nate Smith Releases "Through The Smoke" EP: Nate Smith's new EP "Through The Smoke" is out. The seven-track project features his current single "Bulletproof" along with five additional new songs and a cover of Nirvana’s "Heart Shaped Box." Of the EP, Smith says, "I think this EP is a transition between all the fire and pain and everything I went through, and then overcoming. And that’s what I want people to feel. It’s layered in there." 

Songwriter John Morgan Drops Duet With Jason Aldean: Jason Aldean has loaned his superstar status - and superstar talents - to songwriter John Morgan for his new tune "Friends Like That." Morgan has known country success many times, writing tunes for Jon Pardi, Dustin Lynch, Thomas Rhett and many more as well as Aldean, but now he has a real shot of having not only his song but his voice on country radio. Of Morgan, Aldean said, "I’ve been in town here in Nashville for 25 years, and John Morgan is one of the most talented guys I’ve ever come across in all aspects – as a singer, as a songwriter and as a performer. It’s a really cool thing for me as an artist to sign another artist, so jumping on this song that’s also jump-starting his career along with going to radio, I’m excited for what’s to come from John Morgan and glad he’s one of ours and on our team." 

Clay Walker Releases "I Know She Hung The Moon": Last month we told you Clay Walker was releasing a song co-written by Scotty Emerick and the late Toby Keith. Friday, Clay dropped "I Know She Hung The Moon." Keith shared the song with Walker back in 2021, and Clay recorded it in December, less than two months before Toby passed. "I found out that he had passed away and it really affected me and I’d asked my manager, who also manages Toby, 'Did Toby ever get a chance to hear the song?' and he said 'he (Toby) did. He said he loved it' and that meant a lot,” Walker shares.
