Five red-hot, rising country acts will usher in Christmas with a twang bang this fall. The fifth annual Taste of Country Christmas Tour features dates with Frankie Ballard, Chase Rice, Old Dominion, Canaan Smith and a Thousand Horses. Tickets go on sale this week.

Carrie Underwood returned to the stage for the first time since the birth of her son at the CMT Music Awards Wednesday night (June 10), but her most entertaining performance took place offstage.

"The show must go on." We've heard that sentiment expressed in the music business many, many times over the years. But have you ever stopped to ask yourself why?

Just how "Young & Crazy" was Frankie Ballard growing up in Battle Creek, Mich.? The singer opened up to Taste of Country, admitting if he's ever mooned someone, cheated on a girlfriend or kissed someone more famous than he is during a game of 'Never Have I Ever ...'

Frankie Ballard is starting out the new year with details on his upcoming album, 'Sunshine & Whiskey.'

Frankie Ballard has chopped his hair, lost a few pounds (seemingly) and refined his sound to produce 'Helluva Life,' a new single from an upcoming album. Natural grit makes a wandering lyric a more emotional experience. It's a song that attempts to throw its arms around everyone -- that's always a dangerous endeavor.

As the year winds town, country artists are scrambling to get in some last-minute face-to-face time with their fans on fall tours. Next up is the Tie One on Tour starring Frankie Ballard, Jon Pardi and Miss Willie Brown.
