Joe Diffie

Typecasting country artists as flipping between sounding sad and nostalgic paints a limited picture that leaves out the ever-presence of humor within the genre.

Truck references in country music are a dime a dozen. But we're not complaining.

"It's not anything we intended on doing," Shenandoah admit -- but it's great!

Life on the road can be dangerous sometimes.

The tour bus is their home away from home. These are pretty scary.

May they rest in peace ...

From midday to well after sundown on Friday (Aug. 7), Day 2 of Country on the River 2015 was jam-packed with country music, country music and, yes, more country music.

You can't think of Jason Aldean lately without thinking of '1994,' and you can't think of that catchy hit without thinking of Joe Diffie. There were high expectations that the singer would appear in Aldean's music video or 2013 ACMs performance. However, there was no Diffie in sight -- except for the move Aldean was doing onstage. The '90s hitmaker has shared on why he was missing.

Aaron Tippin, Joe Diffie and Sammy Kershaw joined forces earlier this year when they hit the road together for the Roots and Boots Tour. Playing together for their diehard fans went so well that now the three country music legends are going to release an album together.

Jason Aldean's latest song "1994" is a sort of tribute to legendary 90's country superstar Joe Diffie. I learned today that the song was actually pinned by up and coming young country artist Thomas Rhett of " Beer with Jesus" fame.
