Shaboozey tells Harper’s Bazaar magazine that he loves to tell stories. “I was always telling stories, always trying to find ways to create something. Maybe that was a short film with my friends, or writing, but I was always drawn to telling stories. That’s what country music is all about; telling stories about your life”.

William Shatner is officially going metal…because apparently retirement is for people without a spaceship. The 94 year old icon is releasing a heavy metal album featuring covers of Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest, plus original songs with 35 metal legends.

Jelly Roll is officially becoming a member of the Grand Ole Opry on March 10th, and Lainey Wilson will be there to welcome him in.
