Month: September 2025

Priscilla Block takes a piece of country icon Toby Keith with her everywhere she goes. In a new social media video, she proudly showed off her Toby Keith key chain hanging from her purse.

Block joked that while some people carry the trendy collectible dolls known as Labubus on their bags, she prefers something with a little more country flair.

“All of y’all are about Labubus on your bags, but do you have a Toby Keith Keith chain? No you don’t. That’s my Labubu! We love you, Toby,” she said with a laugh.

“Toby Keith forever,” she captioned the post.

Block’s love for Toby Keith is no secret. She previously told Country Now, “Toby is somebody that’s inspired a lot of people. He’s inspired me as an artist and a songwriter just to stay true to yourself and stand up for what you believe in.”

Last year, Block honored the late country legend during the NBC special Toby Keith: American Icon, where she shared the stage with Trace Adkins, Luke Bryan, Jelly Roll, and more in the Oklahoma native’s honor.

She told us she had her team clear her calendar so she could be there.  

“We got the call three days ago about this and I was like, ‘cancel anything on my calendar.’ I would love to be there,” she revealed. 

Right now, Block is on the road with Cole Swindell as part of his Happy Hour Sad Tour. This fall, she’ll launch her own headlining trek, the Monster Energy Outbreak: Things You Didn’t See Tour, in support of her upcoming sophomore album, Things You Didn’t See, arriving October 10.

The new project showcases a more vulnerable side of the singer-songwriter than ever before. Across 14 tracks, she explores deeply personal topics including struggles with body image, online negativity, the mental toll of life in the spotlight, finding her artistic identity, and the challenges of fitting into country music’s traditional mold.

Fans have already gotten a taste of what’s to come with the release of her raw new song, “Couldn’t Care Less.” Co-written with Trannie Anderson, Alex Maxwell, and Cole Taylor, the track sheds light on Block’s feelings of being misunderstood, criticized, and overlooked when her name isn’t called at award shows.

“Writing ‘Couldn’t Care Less’ was the therapy I didn’t even know I needed. For a long time, people have seen me as bulletproof, but this is a side they haven’t seen. It’s the misunderstood part of me… the insecurities that come with being human. It feels like the perfect way to lead into my record ‘Things You Didn’t See,’ coming October 10th,” she explained.

Riley Green, whose nickname is “Duckman,” certainly knows his way around a duck call, and he proved it on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon during his recent visit.

The last time Green appeared on the show, he gifted Fallon a duck call. It turns out, the host hasn’t put the call to much use. 

He joked, “I didn’t know if it was legal, first of all. I didn’t know what this was, I didn’t know what you were handing me at first!”

Green told him it wasn’t something you would “smoke out of,” but agreed “it does have that look.” Then, he encouraged him to practice it. 

Fallon gave it a try on camera and hilarity ensued when he blew into the wrong end, making everyone laugh. After flipping it around, he finally got a sound out of it, though not quite like Riley’s.

Green then pulled his own duck call out of his back pocket and gave an epic demonstration, earning cheers and laughter from the audience.

“Yours is a little kazoo-ish,” Green pointed out with a laugh. 

Green and Fallon also made plans to take their duck calling skills to the field, agreeing to go hunting together.

During their conversation, they also discussed Green’s headlining Damn Country Music Tour and his journey to becoming one of country music’s biggest stars. The Alabama native recalled honing in on his songwriting skills after playing a writer’s round during his early days in Nashville.   

“I remember going to Nashville…Playing a writer’s round at Tootsies and there was 15 people in line after me, and every one of ’em was better than me, so I was like, ‘man, what can I do to set myself apart?,” he recalled. “Nobody can tell the exact story that I tell. So I started writing songs just about how I grew up and my family and those values, and I was just really fortunate that I think a lot of people grew up the same way and some of those songs did really well.”

Later, Riley Green took to The Tonight Show stage to perform the song “Make It Rain” from his recently released Don’t Mind If I Do (Deluxe) project. This album expands on his 2024 release with six new tracks: The new songs include “Make It Rain,” “Cowboy As It Gets” featuring Randy Houser, “I Just Need You” with Hannah McFarland, “What Am I Supposed To Do Now,” “Bet They’re Biting,” and “One To Willie” featuring Willie Nelson.

Graham Barham is turning heads with “Whiskey Rain,” his new collaboration with Tyler Hubbard.

Written by Barham alongside Jessi Alexander, Sam Martinez, and Cole Miracle, the track captures Barham and Hubbard drowning the pain of heartbreak in whiskey after a failed relationship.

“Let that whiskey rain, rain, rain, rain, rain/ Pour it on the pain, pain, pain, pain, pain/ I just wanna drown in that Tennessee fountain/ Let that liquor kick her right out of my veins/ Pour another round, round, round, round, round/ Doubles comin’ down, down, down, down, down/ Put a hurtin’ on me, wash away the lonely/ Only Jack can burn away her namе Let that whiskey rain, rain, rain, rain, rain,” they sing. 

Hubbard recently opened up about how he met Barham and how their friendship eventually led to their collaboration. 

“As much as I like the song, I think it’s more about loving Graham and wanting to do something together. I met Graham at a festival and he pulled up driving himself and came and crushed it and played an awesome show, and I was like, ‘Who is this guy?’ [I] ended up hanging out with him that night for awhile, and just connecting. We just kept in touch and kind of became buddies and hung out a few more times,” he shared.

“He kind of asked me, he was like, ‘Man, I’d really like for you to be on this project and do a song with me.’ Obviously, I was honored to, and he played me a few songs and ‘Whiskey Rain’ just kind of stood out as a song to me that I was like, ‘Yeah, I could hear us doing this.’  I think this could be really cool,” he continued.“ It’s an awesome song, and it just got me hyped every time I heard it, and I was like, ‘yeah, this will be a fun one.’ So, we just went in and did our thing, and it really felt organic. It felt like our vocals really blended nicely together, and again, Graham’s just a great dude, stand up guy, super talented, kind of knows what he wants and what he’s doing, and I just look at it as an opportunity to learn from a guy who’s crushing it in his lane and doing his thing. It’s been a lot of fun; really enjoyed it.” 

The song serves as the title track off Barham’s WHISKEY RAIN EP. Barham co-wrote every track, and his signature “club country” sound is present throughout the project. WHISKEY RAIN was produced by Sam Bergeson with additional production contributions from Sam Martinez, Gabe Foust, Seth Mosley, Mark Holman, 6AM, and Zach Abend.

Barham’s OIL MONEY headlining tour kicks off September 11 in Covington, KY. Several dates have already sold out, prompting some shows to move to larger venues to meet fan demand. 

Later this month, Barham is set to perform at the Grand Ole Opry on September 22 alongside Jelly Roll, Bailey Zimmerman, Marcus King, and Priscilla Block, in a benefit for the Judge Dinkins Educational Center and Buddy DeFord Charitable Fund.
