PsA: Dolly Parton’s Threads symphony show is surprisingly entertaining, despite its Dollylessness. Her video segments are legit funny

Now we need Ronnie to return the favor. Reboot 3!

Kacey Musgraves popped into Robert’s dressed up as Ronnie Dunn. She’s so unserious 😭

Sorry to hear trad country favorite Colter Wall will be stepping away from the road. His statement hits pretty hard. Sending strength to everybody out there struggling

We pay ~20% on every ticket, but #livenation can pay 1% of annual revenue one time, to operate an alleged concert monopoly. #ticketmaster #dealofthecentury

“From gospel hymns and African spirituals to work songs, folk songs, and Appalachian soul, Burnett’s vision for the soundtrack was gritty, tragic, and beautiful all at once, much like the people it championed.” 25 years of O Brother Where Art Thou?

The reaction to a new song by @carlypearce - before it even came out - showed me what the women in my life already knew.

@JVMonte2 Chris Stapleton. He sang in a bluegrass band called The Steeldrivers, who did regular gigs at The Station Inn in Nashville. At the time, he was just known as a songwriter

[Chris Parton @PARTONIKUS]

It’s been 5 years +change since @BillyJoe_Shaver died. Can anybody tell me why we never did a proper, non-socially distanced tribute concert?

Well, I coined a whole new word for the 2025 BGS year end round up - bet it makes the dictionary in 2035! Behold: "Beyoncénfreude"

Honored to witness a special night in tribute to the great Raul Malo and the Mavericks last night. Also proud to cover it for Rolling Stone here (gift link). #RaulMalo

.@jakeowen told me the last time he was in @nashlifestyles he was the city’s most eligible bachelor. Now, he’s in for a rough hewn outlaw country album that’s the work of a grown ass man. New reviews on @lukebellmusic @coltford @WillieNelson and @VincentMason_ too

[Chris Parton @PARTONIKUS]

Thanksgiving dinner at the Nelson household should be epic. Both @WillieNelson and @lukasnelson are up for #2026Grammys for Best Traditional Country Album. Congrats to @Charleycrocket, @MissMargoPrice, @Zachtopmusic as well.

Had a blast writing this

People are using the building blocks of music to treat cancer. Also depression, addiction, Alzheimer’s … there’s definitely something going on we don’t fully understand. #CancerResearch

So @trishayearwood is such a huge fan of Snoopy, she walked down the aisle to a song from A Charlie Brown Christmas! She shared that + thoughts on a new duet with @garthbrooks from upcoming ‘Christmastime’ symphony album in yesterday’s interview. Story in @nashlifestyles soon
