Welcome to The List,
Cole Swindell has a new album out called ‘Stereotype’ … He says they changed a lot of things in this album“Took longer than any other album I’ve ever made but I honestly think it was worth the wait. I think we got the best songs, I think I wrote the best songs I could, and we tried some new stuff out that I can’t wait for everybody to hear on this record.” ‘Stereotype’ is Coles 4th studio album and is out today.

Tiger Woods is indeed playing the Masters . . ..We wondered if Tiger Woods would ever WALK again, let alone play golf professionally. Well yesterday, he was 1 under par in the opening round of The Masters, finishing in the top 10, and his tee shot on 6 was close to a hole in one. We think there’s a new TV reboot in the works. “The Six Hundred Million Dollar Man”.

Eric Church tells Rolling Stone magazine that his dream is to be able to fish from his living room. “I want to build a lake in my backyard and fill it with fish. My dream is to sit on the couch and bounce a lure off the patio right into the water.”..Livin the dream, that’s what we call it.

Welcome to The List,
The guitar Michael J. Fox absolutely obliterates at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance? In Back to the Future? Yeah, it’s been missing since 1985—poof, gone, like Biff’s dignity. It’s a cherry red Gibson ES-345 and Gibson’s basically playing musical “Wanted” posters to get it back. Even Marty himself is pleading for its return in a video. Bonus fact: the guitar’s from the '60s, even though the scene was set in '55. So not only is it missing—it’s a time-traveling anachronism. Perfect...

Jason Aldean just torched the whole encore charade. He said, “I’m not gonna leave the stage, make you beg, then stroll back out like it’s a surprise.” No, sir—he plays it all, drops the mic, and that’s it. Respect. None of this “Oh gee, did you really want to hear ‘Dirt Road Anthem?’” Dude, we know it's coming. This ain’t a magic show. It’s country music, not Criss Angel.

Allegedly, Blake Lively just got booted from Taylor Swift’s inner circle, and she’s forming her own squad—less pop stars, more...whoever’s available. Sources say Taylor’s over the drama, and Blake’s out here auditioning new friends like it’s The Real Housewives of Manhattan. No tears, just a chilled glass of “watch me glow up without you.” The pettiness? Vintage. The revenge arc? Chef’s kiss.

Headed to CMA Fest? Buckle up, honky-tonk hero. First, it's a clear bag only situation—so unless your purse is see-through like your ex’s promises, leave it at home. Ditch the cowboy boots too unless you’re into blisters and bad decisions. Oh, and plot twist—you don’t have to pay to see music. There’s free music all over the place. It’s like Coachella, but with more denim and less judgment.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
