“Trusting the feeling of everything working out the way it’s supposed to, you can get a little too comfortable too fast,” says Riley Downing. “And possibly too cocky as well.” Downing’s latest single, “Hurt to Fall,” is a fiddle-laden, Western Americana study of that kind of trust.

Breakout country artist Owen Riegling releases his new single “Men Into Boys.” The song was co-written by Riegling and Ryan Kennedy, produced by Oscar Charles, and recorded at Mighty Rose Sound in Franklin, Tennessee.

On the single, Riegling says, “The older I get, the harder it is to see the friends I grew up with as our lives continue to get busier. ‘Men Into Boys’ touches on the moments we all come back together, and it feels like nothing has changed. We recite the same stories, drink the same beer, and hang out in the same places. It’s like we can just transport back to the simple times together.”

Rocking a massive pocket from old school drummer Lonnie Wilson, while citing bits of hits from Brooks & Dunn, Conway Twitty, Billy Ray Cyrus and Alan Jackson, “The 90s Called” is half-comic, half-throwdown for people who know the difference between unfiltered and real and a mere notion of throwback country.

“In middle school, singing on the AM country station every Tuesday was the best,” Mae explains. “What was on the radio was so amazing – Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, Reba, Lee Ann Womack, Martina McBride, Shenandoah. My taste spans wider than just the country genre, but the artists and songwriting I grew up on really inspired the music maker I am today.”

Brooke Lee keeps her foot on the gas with her brand-new song, “Driver Drive,” available now. The late-night, backseat kind of story about chasing one last moment with someone you just met is flirty, a little reckless, and all about stretching the moment and holding onto something that feels too good to let go of, even if it’s only for right now.
