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:

Did you know that Dave Letterman is a big country music fan? Well, it’s true. In this week’s Cover Story, we’re getting some first-hand accounts from Billy Currington and Randy Houser about the special treatment they received on The Late Show.

Along the way, we’re playing special live performances of “People Are Crazy” and “Anything Goes,” so check it out below:

Hot off the heels of his latest #1, “Why Don’t We Just Dance,” Josh Turner’s got a new one that we think you’re gonna be hearin’ all summer long.

Josh admits that he thought “All Over Me” was a hit the first time he heard it… even if he changed it up quite a bit once he got in the studio! Check it out as we give it a spin and chat with Josh in this week’s New Music Spotlight:

Kenny Chesney’s debut album, In My Wildest Dreams, was released just one week after the very first Country HitMakers broadcast. So, yeah, we’ve been around longer than Kenny!

In celebrating the start of our 17th year on the radio, we’re dipping back in our interview library for this week’s Artist Profile with Kenny. Check it out below and listen to Kenny talk about how he’s not rich and hopes to be around in 10 years!

Before Matt Kennon was moving “The Call” up the charts, he was moving motorcycles in Clarksville, TN. It’s true — even aspiring hitmakers have to pay the bills! Of course selling choppers sounds like a pretty cool gig to me too!

Listen in as we catch up with Matt in this week’s Lifestyle feature:

By now, you’ve seen Laura Bell Bundy shimmying all over GAC, CMT and the ACM Awards Show. And I’m willing to bet you’ve even line-danced to her debut single, “Giddy On Up.” Right? … Right??

We recently caught Laura when she wasn’t dancing and chatted with her about her new single and album, Achin’ and Shakin’. Check it out below in the New Music Spotlight!
