Welcome to The List,
Today we start with Jake Owen and his musical influences. He talks about how his brother introduced him to a lot of different music when he was a kid. ”He was introducing me to everybody…from Depeche Mode, Def Leppard, Van Halen. All the way to Run DMC, everything all over the map really, Otis Redding I remember him playing for me. So, he really is responsible for allowing me hearing music that I would have never heard from my parents.” But, Jake stopped on country music and the rest his history.
Morgan Wallen broke his silence since he was caught saying the “N-word” on camera. The country music singer has remained silent up until Tuesday when he posted several photos of a hand-written letter to his fans.
