Sam Hunt topped the Billboard country music airplay chart back in April with his song “23” – now he’s following it up with his new single, “Water Under The Bridge.”
Talking about the track that he co-wrote with Chris LaCorte, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne, Sam says “It’s a song that is literally about ‘Water Under The Bridge’ but it’s really about that little place that most small towns have. In my case, it was a little hangout spot down by the river up under an old backroad, and we used to gather up there – folks have been gathering up there long before we came along and I’m sure still gathering up there now – but on Friday and Saturday night go out there to have a good time, let our hair down a little bit, get into a little bit of trouble. We made a lot of memories out there.”

This weekend Alan Jackson is kicking off his Last Call: One More For The Road tour.
After AJ gets off stage he’ll be able to sit back and relax with his own brand new signature whiskey.
The Country Music Hall of Famer is proud to introduce Silverbelly Whiskey, a new premium spirit distilled exclusively for – and hand-selected by – the country superstar.
Silverbelly takes its name from Jackson’s signature cowboy hat – though many may think it’s white, the color is technically “silverbelly.”
Every ounce of Silverbelly Whiskey – created in partnership with Silver Screen Bottling Co. & DSP-KY-10 – is crafted to be worthy of celebrating a career and countless memories for all to enjoy.
Jackson’s daughter – sommelier and best-selling author Mattie Jackson Selecman – notes, “Crafted in honor of classic, bourbon style whiskey, Silverbelly tips its hat to the spirit at the heart of this country. Its smooth texture and medium-light body make it perfect to sip neat at the end of a long day or to raise in a toast of celebration, mixed in your favorite Old Fashioned or Manhattan cocktail. With a subtle kiss of oak and traditional flavors of caramel, spiced apples, and toasty brown sugar, Silverbelly is as American as whiskey comes – a true taste of home.”
“I opened the first bottle of Silverbelly; this is what happened,” Jackson shares
Alan adds, “Silverbelly – for the Good Times.”
Available in 750ml bottles and 91 proof with 45.5% alc/vol., Silverbelly Whiskey is described as having an aroma of brown sugar, sweet apple, cherry, honey, and a taste that’s sweet smooth, and spicy; bright fall fruits with a light, silky texture on the mid-palate; soft caramelized oak tones are met with a savory wood spice on the finish. Silverbelly Whiskey is available now in stores across Tennessee (with other states soon to follow), and spirits-lovers across the country can find it online at silverbellywhiskey.com – pre-orders begin today.
Jackson embarks on his Last Call: One More for the Road Tour this weekend with shows Friday in Biloxi, MS and Saturday in Knoxville, TN.
Tickets and information for all shows are available HERE.

Lady Vols In The WNBA | WNBA All-Star Release
University of Tennessee graduate Candace Parker has been named to her seventh WNBA All-Star Game, the league announced on Wednesday afternoon.
Parker, in her second year with her hometown Chicago Sky, earned that nod for the second straight season. As an added bonus for Parker, the 2022 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game will be played at the familiar confines of Wintrust Arena in Chicago on Sunday, July 10 (ABC, noon CT/1 p.m. ET). That event will be the centerpiece of a weekend full of WNBA activities.
A Lady Vol standout and two-time NCAA champion from 2004-08, Parker is among a list of 10 players, including four guards and six frontcourt players, from across the WNBA who were selected by fans, current WNBA players and media to start in AT&T WNBA All-Star 2022.
Voting will now begin for the 12 reserves for AT&T WNBA All-Star 2022, which will be selected by the league’s head coaches and will be announced on Tuesday, June 28. Coaches will vote for three guards, five frontcourt players and four players at either position regardless of conference. They may not vote for their own players. If a player is unable to play in AT&T WNBA All-Star 2022 for any reason, a replacement player will be named to the roster by Commissioner Cathy Engelbert.
The co-captains will select their respective All-Star rosters during ESPN’s broadcast of the WNBA All-Star Team Selection Special on Saturday, July 2 (3 p.m. ET), choosing first from the remaining pool of eight starters and then from the pool of 12 reserves.
Parker is in her 15th season in the league and previously made the WNBA All-Star Game in 2021 while with the Sky as well as in 2011, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018 while playing for the Los Angeles Sparks. L.A. selected Parker No. 1 overall in the 2008 WNBA Draft, and she was named both league MVP and Rookie of the Year that season. A two-time WNBA champion (2016, 2021), Parker was named WNBA MVP in 2008 and 2013, was the WNBA All-Star Game MVP in 2013 and the league’s defensive player of the year in 2020.
