Sturgill Simpson

On Monday singer/songwriter Sturgill Simpson took to Facebok to blast the ACMs for creating an award that celebrates Merle Haggard’s legacy. He accused the Academy of Country Music of joining others who have “hitched their wagon to his name.”

Sturgill Simpson’s critically acclaimed album from 2014 is one of 10 albums being re-released on pink vinyl later this month. Metamodern Sounds in Country Music joins projects from Primus, Ingrid Michaelson and more to support Gilda’s Club NYC, a cancer support organization founded in 1995.

A diverse lineup of country's edgiest artists will gather in Austin in July to pay tribute to the legendary Waylon Jennings, with the proceeds going to a good cause.

Sony Music Nashville head Gary Overton inadvertently opened up a huge can of worms in March when he infamously said, "If you're not on country radio, you don't exist." But on closer inspection, that's less true right now than perhaps at any other time in the history of commercial country radio.

Country singer-songwriter Sturgill Simpson halted a weekend show in Kentucky to stop a fight, and then picked up right where he left off, as if nothing had gone wrong. Well, almost.
