Wade Bowen never stopped pouring his heart out in his songs. What’s different about him after 25-plus years of music is the amount of joy in those pours.
“We’re having so much fun playing music, we’re having so much fun writing songs and recording,” Bowen tells Rolling Stone. “I feel like we’re in this amazing groove right now, and I feel like we need to keep the pedal down.”
Bowen is talking about Flyin, his latest record, out now. But he is also talking about his world at the moment.

Keith Gattis, a Nashville songwriter, producer, and solo artist who had his songs recorded by Kenny Chesney and George Strait and who produced Randy Houser’s Americana pivot, Magnolia, has died at 52. A source close to Gattis confirmed his death on Sunday to Rolling Stone.

Before he was even out of his mid-20s, Parker McCollum had established himself as one of the preeminent artists on the Texas music circuit — the sort of singer-songwriter with a country twang who could sell out arenas and amphitheaters across the Lone Star State, was as “Red Dirt” as they come, and had done it all independently. But McCollum didn’t want that.

Collaboration is at the very heart of Randy Rogers and Wade Bowen’s partnership under the “Hold My Beer” name, refined over 15 years or so of live performances and expertly distilled on the friendly duo’s 2015 debut album. But there’s an entirely new type of collaboration on the Texas singer-songwriters’ Hold My Beer, Vol. 2 — one that stretches back across a generation of country-music history and includes the iconic voice of Waylon Jennings.
Midway through the album, released on Friday, “Ode to Ben Dorcy (Lovey’s Song)” gets underway with a scratchy acoustic guitar strum,...

Wade Bowen chronicles his year from hell that was 2018 in a new short film called Inconsistent Chaos, which focuses on the Texas Country veteran’s forced singing sabbatical and the tragic loss of his cousin and stage manager.
Bowen was ramping up for a big year in 2018, which not only marked his 20th as a full-time performer but also the release of his Solid Ground LP. But, as the new 17-minute documentary explains, the 42-year-old singer’s world was turned upside down when recurrent blood in his vocal cords forced...

Veteran Texas performer Jack Ingram turns in a searing, six-minute cover of Guy Clark’s famed “Desperados Waiting for a Train” in a new video, filmed during tracking at Arlyn Studios in Austin, Texas. The song appears on Ingram’s 10th studio album Riding High…Again, which was released Friday.
Ingram had the opportunity to collaborate with late songwriting icon Clark on several occasions. Their friendship adds some heft to Ingram’s rendering of the story about the bond between a younger man and an “old school man of the world,...

Directed by Jordan Thiem, “Fell in Love on Whiskey” was shot during an array of live performances, including ones at Gruene Hall in New Braunfels, Texas, and the Basement East in Nashville. Flashing between scenes of Bowen and his audience,...

Premiering exclusively on Rolling Stone Country, the clip was filmed for Bruce Robison’s Next Waltz label during an intimate acoustic set at this year’s MusicFest in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. It finds Bowen – with a...
