Take me home.... country roads... While probably more of a folk singer/songwriter, John Denver has always sort of found a home in the country music community, even winning the CMA Entertainer of the Year award in 1975 (a drunk Charlie Rich infamously burned the card in protest as he announced it). And of course, the most famous song of his career "Take Me Home, Country Roads," has become a timeless classic among country music fans. Written by Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert (who were married at the time and performing as a duo called The Danoff’s), along with some help from John Denver, it was released as a single in 1971 and also included on Denver’s Poems, Prayers & Promises album. At a show one evening in Washington, DC in the early '70s, where The Danoff’s were opening for Denver, he went back to their house afterwards and they played the song for him, though it was still unfinished at the time. And actually, John almost didn’t even make it, because he got into a car wreck on the way there and had to go to hospital with a thumb injury. Eventually, they finished the song at 6AM, and sang it at a show the next night. You can hear the Danoff’s singing background vocals on the studio recording, as well. But perhaps the funniest part of the song, and why there is some debate on whether it's about West Virginia or the western part of Virginia, is that none of the three writers had ever even been to West Virginia at the time… Bill had recalled listening to the AM station WWVA out of Wheeling, West Virginia, which he heard in Massachusetts growing up. He told NPR in 2011: “I just thought the idea that I was hearing something so exotic to me from someplace as far away. West Virginia might as well have been in Europe, for all I knew.” Folks from Virginia have started to claim the song, arguing that the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah River, really only clip the state of West Virginia, and primarily lie in the state of Virginia. Of course, nobody knew what they were talking about so that's probably why... and regardless, West Virginia owns the song. Geography be damned. And fun fact, the Danoff’s had originally wanted Johnny Cash to record the song, and they almost didn’t play it for Denver because they didn’t think it was his style. But Denver was having no part of that once he heard it, and knowing (or hoping, at least) it would be a huge hit, he wanted it for himself. The single had a slow climb up the country charts that spring and summer, but eventually, became Denver’s first big #1 hit, and of course, an all-time classic and signature country song we all know and love to this day. The song is considered a symbol of West Virginia, and is played at every West Virginia University home football game, in addition to being one of the four official state anthems of West Virginia. West Virginia native Charles Wesley Godwin has made it a staple of his repertoire, and it even inspired his own "Cue Country Roads," another fan favorite. But now, Virginia native Oliver Anthony has answered the call of his fans and released a live version of his own, recorded in West Virginia's own Mercer County. The "Rich Men North Of Richmond" singer says fans have been begging for it: "I have gotten hundreds of messages asking for a cover of 'Country Roads.' We filmed this over the summer and I forgot about it with all the insanity during tour. It's not much but I hope you enjoy it! Filmed on the Bluestone River in Mercer County WV."

Just got a little too excited. The 2024 CMA Awards are in the books, and honestly...there weren't that many memorable moments. Of course the all-star tribute to George Strait was a highlight of the night as the King was honored with the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award. But other than that, the best part of the 3-hour show was watching Strait's reactions during the performances. https://twitter.com/WhiskeyRiff/status/1859409433870184730 The one moment from that show that did draw some attention wasn't even a performance, but a comment made during one of the acceptance speeches. As Cody Johnson was accepting the award for Album of the Year for his 2023 project Leather, he turned the microphone over to his producer Trent Willmon, who appeared to throw shade at New Artist of the Year nominee Shaboozey: “It takes an army of people to make a great record, but I gotta tell ya, this is for this cowboy who’s been kicking Shaboozey for a lot of years.” Social media erupted after the comment, with many wondering whether he was trying to make a joke about kicking “Shabooty” or whether it was a dig at the artist’s pop-leaning sound. https://twitter.com/gatorstroll/status/1859428011608560061 And Shaboozey fans took to the comments on Willmon's latest Instagram post to call him out and demand an apology: “What has Shaboozey done to you or Cody personally? Your comment was really miserable and it is a shame to see you using your voice to try to belittle someone else’s work to uplift yours.” “Bet you wouldn’t say it to his face!” “You could’ve expressed excitement for your and Cody’s achievements without dissing a fellow nominee…classless” “Imagine winning and still feeling the need to mention another. That only means you didn’t think you deserved it either. You owe him an apology. No need to try to put out his light to shine!” “The fact that you had to kick someone down while basking in success shows the vile and disrespectful attitude that you have. Just sad” “Trash speech last night…” “You showed a complete lack of class. It’s small-minded and unprofessional to make such a comment about another artist.” As for Shaboozey, the "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" singer didn't seem too bothered by the perceived dig, posting on social media after the show: https://twitter.com/ShaboozeysJeans/status/1859457097714340218 And now we're hearing from Willmon himself. The producer, and country singer himself, took to social media to attempt to clarify his comments, admitting it was a "fumble" but congratulating the singer on the success of "A Bar Song," which is currently the longest-running #1 song on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart of 2024: "Ok... what I meant to express in my overly-shocked and excited state was that I am very proud of Cody Johnson. He has worked his BOOTY off the last 15 years putting out and performing great music and it's not an overnight success. I was so proud he's finally getting recognized! And shout out to Shaboozey for your response to my fumble and having a great sense of humor, congrats on that 17-Week #1 Song!" https://www.instagram.com/p/DCsUbSfyth6/ So there you have it.
