Post Malone Cover Of Garth's "Friends In Low Places" Could Be A Thing: While the music world wonders if Post Malone's country album will ever come out, Posty keeps fans intrigued by continuing to leak little snippets of what he's been up to on social media. Friday he released a clip of himself in the studio performing Garth Brooks' "Friends in Low Places." Malone is seen singing and playing acoustic guitar in what appears to be a recording session. "Think I’ll slip on down to the oasis," Malone captioned the video. 

Morgan Wallen And Ex Are "All Good" In Pics Taken After Arrest: Despite speculation that Morgan Wallen's alleged drunken chair-throwing incident was sparked by him feeling a certain kind of way about his ex-girlfriend's sudden marriage, things appear to be OK between the two. In a series of pics of Morgan, KT Smith (the ex) and their son Indigo, it seems the family is on fairly good terms, further putting the rumors that Morgan was crushed by KT's recent nuptials in the rearview mirror. 

Chris Stapleton Teams Up With Slash For Fleetwood Mac Cover "Oh Well": Two titans of their respective genres teaming up for an all-time classic? Sign us up! Slash is putting out a straight-up blues album, "Orgy Of The Damned," and since Slash isn't much of a vocalist, he went straight to one of the great blues voices of our time - Chris Stapleton. "His singing cadence and that drawl that he has for this particular song, in my mind’s eye, it sounded perfect,” Slash told "Rolling Stone." The song? The classic Fleetwood Mac blues-rock rave-up "Oh Well." "I had to get his number and cold-call him," Slash added. "And he was really gracious about it and really bent over backwards to help me get it done." After they recorded the track, it came out exactly how Slash imagined it would. "I think it was one of the best ideas I’ve had in recent memory, was to have him sing that song," he said. "Orgy Of The Damned" comes out May 17.Keith Urban Collab With Snoop Dogg From "The Garfield Movie" Drops: We told you earlier this month that "The Garfield Movie" is bringing us one of the more unlikely collaborations - at least on paper. Friday, the duet "Let It Roll" from the upcoming animated movie was released, featuring playing and singing by Keith Urban, and rap accompaniment from hip hop legend Snoop Dogg. The complete soundtrack comes out May 17, with the movie hitting theaters the following week. 

Jelly Roll Weight Loss Update: 70 Pounds And Counting: We've told you that Jelly Roll - who weighed in at close to 500 pounds at his heaviest - was on a mission to bring that number way down. Of course, it's April, so most New Year's resolutions have gone by the boards - so how's Jelly doing? Apparently, really well. "I'm probably down 70-something pounds," Jelly recently told "PEOPLE." "I've been really kicking a**, man. I'm doing two to three miles a day, four to six days a week. I'm doing 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna, six minutes in a cold plunge every day. I'm eating healthy right now." He has no intention of stopping any time soon. "I feel really good," he says. "I was thinking, I plan on losing another 100, 100-and-something [pounds]. If I feel this good down this weight, man, I can only imagine what I'm going to feel like by the time I go on tour."

ERNEST Sophomore Album Brings Out The Stars: For ERNEST's sophomore album, he hasn't left any stone - or collaborator - unturned. Released Friday, his "Nashville, Tennessee" includes some of the high-powered, uber talented friends he's made over his years in Music City. Along with the previously released "I Went To College/I Went To Jail with Jelly Roll, other artists on the project include Lukas Nelson, Morgan Wallen, Lainey Wilson and Hardy. ERNEST said of the release, "I was born and raised in Nashville. I love this city, it’s the country music capital of the world, and this album is a positive affirmation in the name of country music. That country at its core, the songwriting and storytelling, is popular again." The singer is making the rounds on television this month to promote the album; he'll make his national TV performance debut on "Live With Kelly and Mark" tomorrow morning, followed by appearances on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" and "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" later this month.
