Newest Ragweed Puzzle Post

Approximately 12 hours ago, the upper left hand photo was added to the puzzle of what is up with Cross Canadian Ragweed!

The other photos have been added daily on their Cross Canadian Ragweed 25 Instagram since Saturday.

Roberta Roberts from the Red Dirt Rebel in Lubbock said she thinks that it is a photo from the ski lift area at Steamboat. It’s intriguing to think if that old CCR photo a fan captured on The Musicfest at Steamboat site hinted at a reunion, especially since it’s now been taken down.

Breaker 1-9 You Got Your Ears On?

Texas music star Mike Ryan responded to the CB call in Riley Green's parody of the classic 1977 film Smokey and the Bandit. Known by his CB radio handle, Night Wailer, Ryan will join Riley’s Damn Country Music Tour in August 2025. The fun video showcases other opening acts also answering the call to join the tour.

Check out the video HERE and Mike Ryan's tour dates HERE.

Signing Bonus

Jason Scott & The High Heat, a five-piece Americana and roots-rock band from Oklahoma City, has joined Leo33's roster. They’ll release their EP, “High Country Heat,” on Oct. 25. The band has also signed with Triple 8 Management and Wasserman for booking.

The Road Goes on Forever and the Party Never Ends

It looks like there might be a new Robert Earl Keen record in the works.

He posted the following on socials:

“Western Chill” is a stream of consciousness, slow-swing oriented song that really sets up the whole vibe for the rest of the record. We’ve all got our favorite chair and our beer, and we’re going to sit there and watch the sun go down so we can all take off ourselves, because there’s freedom in the sunset."

New Song Dropping for Miranda Lambert and Jake Worthington

Miranda Lambert and Jake Worthington joined forces and their new song "Hello S****y Day" releases Friday. The song is co-written with Dean Dillon, Jessie Jo Dillon and Jesse Frasure.

Miranda's current single "Wranglers" is top 30 on the country charts. See the video HERE.
