In this week’s Artist Profile, we’re hearing from Mr. Zac Brown himself as he talks about a special performance that gave him chills. Zac also shares his source of inspiration and what keeps him grounded.

Along the way, we’re spinning “Chicken Fried” and the new one, “Free.”

True story: the last time we interviewed Steel Magnolia, Josh was nowhere to be found. Not that sitting down with Meghan is a chore or anything … But the reason Josh stood us up?? He was getting a root canal! Ouch!

In this week’s Lifestyle feature, we hear Josh recall his painful dentist visit and spin a special live performance of “Keep On Lovin’ You.” So check it out below!

Easton Corbin is ready to roll into summer and he says he’s got the perfect song for the occasion. His new single, “Roll With It,” is poised to be a summer radio staple.

The song will likely bound up the charts like his previous single, “A Little More Country Than That.” It will also likely gain Easton even more comparisons to a certain other Country artist. While Easton appreciates the compliments, he says he just tries to sound like Easton Corbin.

Check it out below as we hear from Easton and “Roll With It” in the New Music Spotlight:

We only have one gripe about Kenny Chesney’s new 3D blockbuster Summer in 3D… We wish they sold beer at the movie theater! Come on! It’s not a concert without a little cold beer, right??

In this week’s Cover Story, we’re hearing from Kenny as he talks about his new movie. While he was very hands on in the production process, Kenny insists that he doesn’t want to be a movie star.

Check it out below as we hear from Kenny and spin “Ain’t Back Yet” and “Big Star.”

In this week’s Artist Profile, we’re sittin’ down with Dierks Bentley. Listen in as Dierks talks about how radio airplay is the key ingredient and how he made his new album, Up On the Ridge, the way albums should be made!

Despite their record label closing up shop here in Nashville, Rascal Flatts are, excuse the pun, “Unstoppable.”

But seriously, nothing can stop their huge fanbase from supporting the guys. So, don’t worry — Rascal Flatts are going to be just fine! We recently caught up with Jay who told us, not surprisingly, that it’s tough to make it in the music biz!

Check it out below as we spin “Unstoppable” in this week’s Lifestyle feature:

Here’s a fun fact — see the house in that picture? That’s Dierks’ home here in Nashville and it’s right up the street from the HitMakers headquarters! Now, not all Country stars live so close to the office here, but most do call Nashville home.

In this week’s Cover Story, we’re hearing from Brad, Carrie and Dierks as they talk about the pros & cons of living in Music City, USA. Along the way, we’re spinning Brad’s new one, “Water,” and Carrie’s “Before He Cheats.”

Josh Thompson’s new single, “Way Out Here,” is also the title of his stellar debut album. But, according to Josh, the song was written just before he went to the studio to record the album. So what would the album have been called if the song hadn’t been written in time?? Well, any track on the album could probably have done the job, but Josh says that “Way Out Here” sums it all up.

Check it out below as we hear from Josh and spin his new one, “Way Out Here.”

Alright all you BS’ers: We’ve got Blake in this week’s Artist Profile. So check it out and crank it up as we rock out with “Hillbilly Bone” and “All About Tonight.”

A lot of Country artists bounce around between record labels during the course of their career. And Steve Azar is no exception: his first two albums were released by different labels, then his third album was going to be released by another label but then he left that label to release the album on his own label. Are you still with me??

It sounds complicated to me and it did to Steve, too. That’s why he’s doing his own thing now with Ride Records. He released his latest album, Slide On Over Here, last year and his new single, “Sunshine,” is making its way up the charts now.

Check out Steve below as he brings us a little “Sunshine” in this week’s Lifestyle feature:
