Drugs Never Seemed like a problem to Elvie Shane. Dabbling in cocaine, meth, and heroin were all part of the future country singer’s college days in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Even when he got hooked on speed, the dangers didn’t seem real. He could take it or leave it, he figured, a good time for whenever he had the money.
“We just thought we were having fun and catching a buzz,” says Shane, who was clean for nearly a decade before scoring a country Number One with “My Boy...

It’s a few hours before I’m supposed to meet Elvie Shane at a racetrack in Bowling Green, Kentucky, when my phone starts blowing up.
The lanky, tattoo-covered country singer, who scored a Number One hit with “My Boy” in 2020, is meeting me to put the 2024 Corvette E-Ray — top speed 183 mph — through its paces, and Shane is texting to say how excited he is to lay down some rubber.
“I’ll only kill ya once,” he writes. “I swear.”
Shane is used to driving fast. In his younger days,...

Country music is increasingly starting to address difficult subject matter and Elvie Shane is at the forefront of that movement. Today, he drops the new song “Pill,” which dissects the fallout of the opioid crisis. In the video for the song, filmed in New York, the Kentucky songwriter paces through Lower Manhattan, singing into his cell phone and lighting up cigarette after cigarette. He’s playing lost and troubled — and he sells it well.
The video opens with a text to Shane: “Hey man you should reach out to your cousin Jerry and his girl.

While technically a CMA Fest event, the Cadillac Three delivered a gritty and often improvised alternative to the highly produced TV taping going on across the river at Nissan Stadium on Friday night. During their concise, stout headlining set at Ascend Amphitheater — dubbed “The Cadillac Three & Friends” — the Nashville trio incorporated a horn section, added Charlie Worsham as second guitarist, and leaned into the “& Friends” part of the billing by performing a pair of songs with Little Big Town and Elvie Shane.

Grief is a weird thing, frequently and unexpectedly rocketing toward you with enough power to alter your worldview, make you feel as if you’re drowning, and even see people who are no longer there. That’s been the experience of the Cadillac Three’s singer-guitarist Jaren Johnston, who lost his father, the musician Jerry Ray Johnston, in 2022, and who wrestles with his life’s shattered sense of stability in “This Town Is a Ghost.”

Songs about the working class are woven throughout the fabric of country music. Unfortunately, some of the more recent ones do nothing more than pander to an already marginalized demographic. Thank goodness for Elvie Shane, then. The Kentucky songwriter’s new single “Forgotten Man” cuts through the buzzword bullshit of freedom, cold ones, and American dreams to get right to the heart of what it means to be blue-collar in 2023.

Taylor Swift and Harry Styles were among the big winners at the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards Monday night, with Swift taking home song of the year for “Anti-Hero,” and Styles being named artist of the year.
Swift also received the Innovator Award for her impact globally to pop culture. According to iHeartRadio, the Grammy-winning artist has not only had a successful career but has been an “advocate for women’s rights and the LGBTQ+ community, using her music and platform to inspire young people to use their voting power.”
After the award was presented by Phoebe Bridgers, Swift was quick to admit that she felt “flattered” to receive the award.
While reflecting on her career, Swift said she always tried to “make the right decision” for herself at the time “whether or not it had ever been successfully done before.” Though oftentimes in the industry many “want an example of something working before,...

The Cadillac Three are known for hard-hitting Southern rock and country-funk — “country fuzz,” the trio calls it — but members Jaren Johnston and Neil Mason are looking outside of that box for their new record label. On Thursday, Johnston and Mason announced War Buddha Records, a partnership with Warner Records, and their first signed artist: Rett Madison, a West Virginia singer-songwriter now living and working out of Los Angeles.
Madison, who released the album Pin-Up Daddy in 2021 and recently finished a tour with St. Paul and the Broken Bones, is no stranger to Rolling Stone.

The Cadillac Three enlist Elvie Shane and Old Crow Medicine Show’s Ketch Secor for the Tennessee-Kentucky collab you didn’t know you needed. “Hillbilly” mixes Secor’s haunting fiddle with the grungy stomp of the Cadillac Three, all propelled by the moonshine drawls of Shane and TC3 singer-guitarist Jaren Johnston.
But while the Nashville born-and-bred TC3 are known for ragers like “Crackin’ Cold Ones With the Boys” and “Party Like You” (as heard on Yellowstone), “Hillbilly” is more cautionary, warning about the pitfalls of pills, whiskey, and any other...

Arguably the biggest prizes in country music, the Country Music Association Awards (CMAs) seek to honor the best in the industry. The award show features categories like Album of the Year, New Artist of the Year, Female and Male Artist of the Year, and the coveted Entertainer of the Year award. Let’s take a look at a few names that could pop up in the nominations list this year.
There are a couple of favorites who will get nominations without a doubt. Maren Morris’s “Humble Quest” is one of her best pieces of work and includes the hit “Circles Around This Town,” which could get into Song of the Year. There’s also Miranda Lambert, who will be in contention for her new album “Palomino” and the hit single “If I Was a Cowboy.” Similarly, Jason Aldean has found success with his album “Macon, Georgia,” led by his already-cma-winning duet with Carrie Underwood,...

The 2022 CMT Music Awards were handed out on Monday night, April 11, at 8:00pm Eastern on CBS. These awards honor the best in country music videos, but unlike the Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association Awards, which are voted on by industry peers, these awards are decided by fans. So who were the big winners? Scroll down for the complete list.
Kane Brown co-hosted the event with Kelsea Ballerini and Anthony Mackie, and he also led with four nominations including Video of the Year for “One Mississippi.” That category started with 12 nominees when they were initially announced. Fan votes then narrowed that down to the top six, and the day of the show we learned the final three: Brown’s “One Mississippi,” Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood‘s “If I Didn’t Love You,” and Cody Johnson‘s “Til You Can’t.”
Johnson and breakthrough artist Breland followed with three nominations apiece.

A positive Covid test for country star Kelsea Ballerini has led to a change in plans for tonight’s CMT Music Awards, being broadcast on CBS.
