Toby Keith Posthumously Inducted Into Cheyenne Frontier Days Hall of Fame

Singer, songwriter, and entertainer Toby Keith was posthumously inducted into the Cheyenne Frontier Days Hall of Fame on September 5th. Keith’s inclusion in the 2025 class of honorees reflects his deep connection to the event and all it celebrates.

Along with this year’s eight other honorees, Keith was recognized for his “lasting impact on the legacy of Cheyenne Frontier Days. Inductees represent the spirit, history, and culture of the world’s largest outdoor rodeo and western celebration. Each year, new honorees are selected for their unique contributions that have helped preserve and promote the western way of life.”

Having played Cheyenne Frontier Days nine times during his career, Keith’s fondness for it preceded his career, as his wife Tricia Covel noted in accepting his induction on his behalf. She thanked the organization for the honor, as well as the people on his team who facilitated his dream of performing at CFD, and recalled how Toby loved performing at CFD, and the cowboy life he saw there. Something easily proven since he wrote “Should’ve Been A Cowboy” in 20 minutes.

As a teenager, he was testing bulls for a rodeo stock contractor when Toby witnessed cowboy singer Chris LeDoux win the Bareback Riding World Championship. Cheyenne was every cowboy’s dream. Toby lived the dream of headlining Cheyenne Frontier Days nine times; one year, he even did two shows. So much of Keith’s life was about rodeo; while working for the stock contractor, he heard a coworker say, “Whiskey for my men and beer for my horses.” Those words inspired him to write the song ‘Beer For My Horses,’ a duet with Willie Nelson that became a No. 1 hit for six weeks.

The Hall of Fame induction punctuates a big summer for the late superstar’s music. Keith’s catalog saw streams and plays skyrocket over the summer, with his 35 Biggest Hits album climbing into the Billboard 200 Top 10. Driving many of the summer’s milestones was his July 2002 No. 1 airplay single “Courtesy Of The Red, White And Blue,” which hit No. 1 for the second time in its lifespan by topping the Country Digital Song Sales chart 23 years later.

Chris Janson Saddles Up for 2025–2026 Wild Horses Untamed Tour Following New Album Release

Multi-platinum country hitmaker Chris Janson has announced dates for his Wild Horses Untamed Tour. The trek, which kicks off on October 3rd in Laramie, WY, will stretch into the New Year, wrapping on February 28th in Woonsocket, RI.

Janson is touted as one of the most engaging and exciting live performers in country music. On August 1st, he released his latest album, Wild Horses, via Warner/Harpeth 60. The project is the Missouri native’s most genuinely personal album of his career. Co-writing and co-producing all 15 tracks, Janson tapped into each facet of himself and took down any pre-conceived guardrails while making this record.

From high-energy rowdy romps like “Hung Up On” to emotional ballads that cut to the core, Wild Horses is a full-spectrum emotional and musical ride through Janson’s life, loves, and lessons. As an artist who has always blazed his own trail, this album is the perfect reflection of Chris Janson’s journey: bold, wild, and untamed.

Anchored in Janson’s signature energy is the lead single and radio hit “Me and a Beer” – a breezy, feel-good anthem that invites listeners to let loose and celebrate the moment. The song struck an immediate reaction out of fans and is nearing the Top 30 at country radio, and is climbing.

John Lennon Estate Releases New Video for Remixed “Sunday Bloody Sunday” Highlighting Global Cost of War

John Lennon Estate Releases New Video for Remixed “Sunday Bloody Sunday” Highlighting Global Cost of War

The John Lennon Estate has released a powerful new video decrying the cost – both human and financial – of war, political violence, and gun deaths. The video is for a newly remixed and re-imagined version of John Lennon & Yoko Ono’s 1972 protest anthem, “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” written about Bloody Sunday, the January 30, 1972, massacre of 13 unarmed protesters, including six children, by British soldiers during a protest march in Derry, Northern Ireland. The tragedy also famously inspired U2’s classic 1983 song of the same name.

Directed by Simon Hilton and David Frearson (with graphics and guerilla street art animation by Frearson) and produced by Sean Ono Lennon, Delphine Lamandé-Frearson, Sophie Hilton, Faye Jordan and Grace Davyd, the captivating video illustrates, through a kinetic text narrative and statistics, of how many civilians and soldier’s lives have been tragically lost from violent conflicts around the world, and the perpetually escalating financial costs incurred – including The Troubles in Ireland, the Vietnam War, the Iran-Iraq War, Lebanon, Tiananmen Square, the Lockerbie bombing, the Bosnian War, the Rwanda and Darfur genocides, the Chechen Wars, 9/11, the Iraq War, Syria, the Ukraine War, the War in Gaza and from mass shootings in the United States of America. It poignantly ends with the reminder that more than 1.5 million people have been killed by guns in the U.S.A. since John Lennon was shot and killed on December 8, 1980. He would have been 85 on October 9th.

“Sunday Bloody Sunday” was released by John & Yoko/Plastic Ono Band with Elephant’s Memory on their 1972 political blockbuster album, Sometime In New York City, which was created as an audio newspaper in which they wrote songs ripped straight from the headlines and about the injustices they were witnessing. The song has been completely remixed from the original analog tapes and is now presented in an extended form and stripped of the overly heavy production sound that previously constrained the blistering excoriation of political violence.

“Sunday Bloody Sunday” is featured on the new box set, Power to the People, a 12-disc collection that chronicles and celebrates John & Yoko’s non-violent political activism in NYC in the early ‘70s. Songs from Sometime In New York City have been reordered, rejuvenated and completely reimagined as a new set of Ultimate Mixes, entitled New York City.

Power to the People was produced by Sean Ono Lennon and his five-time Grammy Award-winning production team. The centerpiece of the collection is the One To One Concert that took place on August 30, 1972, at Madison Square Garden in NYC, featuring John & Yoko/Plastic Ono Band with Elephant’s Memory and special guests. These two performances were John’s only full-length concerts after leaving The Beatles. The exhaustive 123-track box set features 90 never-before-heard and previously unreleased tracks, including a wealth of unreleased demos, home recordings, jam sessions, live cuts, unique mixes, and much more. All tracks have been completely remixed and re-engineered from the original analog tapes by Paul Hicks and Sam Gannon, using brand new HD multitrack transfers by Rob Stevens, with the mixes mastered by Alex Wharton at Abbey Road Studios. The set was overseen by compilation producer Simon Hilton.

The set offers an aural time capsule of John and Yoko’s first NYC era, when they traded Tittenhurst Park, their estate in Ascot, England, for a small apartment located at 105 Bank St. in Greenwich Village in Manhattan, and includes the music they were inspired to make during a time of great civil unrest and the deeply unpopular Vietnam War. “Sunday Bloody Sunday” is a critical reminder of the need for peace – to save lives, save money and strive towards a brighter future for all.

Dolly Parton Postpones ‘Dolly: Live in Las Vegas’ Concerts to Fall 2026 Amid Health Procedures

Dolly Parton Postpones ‘Dolly: Live in Las Vegas’ Concerts to Fall 2026 Amid Health Procedures

Dolly Parton has postponed her upcoming Las Vegas concerts to fall 2026. Dolly: Live in Las Vegas was to feature six performances from December 4 to 13 during the National Finals Rodeo, but due to recent health setbacks, the global superstar has pushed the dates to September 2026.

“I want the fans and public to hear directly from me that, unfortunately, I will need to postpone my upcoming Las Vegas concerts,” she says. “As many of you know, I have been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures. As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon! In all seriousness, given this, I am not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see, and the show that you deserve to see. You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you. While I’ll still be able to work on all of my projects from here in Nashville, I just need a little time to get show ready, as they say. And don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet. But, I believe He is telling me to slow down right now so l can be ready for more big adventures with all of you. I love you and thank you for understanding.”

The announcement follows a prior event she missed at Dollywood, which she explained was due to a kidney stone that caused an infection.

Dolly: Live In Las Vegas is a hit-driven concert event bringing Parton back to Vegas for her first extended run in 33 years. Weaving together seven decades of classic hits and fan favorites, including “9 to 5,” “Jolene,” “I Will Always Love You,” “Coat Of Many Colors,” and many more, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see one of the world’s most beloved entertainers at the peak of her success.

Parton can be heard on a new version of Mötley Crüe’s “Home Sweet Home,” released digitally last week. Bringing together two giants of American music, the new rendition of “Home Sweet Home” featuring Dolly Parton offers a powerful twist on the 1985 hit. To drive home the song’s positive message of hope, a portion of the proceeds from the single will benefit Covenant House, an organization close to the hearts of the members of Mötley Crüe. Covenant House provides safe shelter, meals, hope and more to help youth experiencing homelessness.
