Here’s Why Jon Pardi Released Back-to-Back “Boot Songs”
JON PARDI didn’t want to release “Dirt On My Boots” as the follow-up to “Head Over Boots”. I mean, two “boot songs” in a row? Fortunately, his record company knew they’d both be hits so they made a deal with him.
He said, quote, “They really wanted another boot song, so I [was] like, ‘Alright, let’s get a boot sponsorship. I like [both songs] and I wear boots every day.'”
Not sure this is the deal he was looking for, but his website has a link to a FootwearNews.com article of him loving his Lucchese boots. (The article also features the footwear choices of Nikki Lane and Langhorne Slim.)
One more thing about Jon: He and DIERKS BENTLEY covered George Strait’s “Carrying Your Love with Me” during their show on Saturday in Nashville.
Country Stars Speak Out On the Women’s Marches on Saturday

KACEY MUSGRAVES posted a pic of someone holding a sign that quoted her song “Biscuits”. BROTHERS OSBORNE gave this shout-out: “Saw the women’s march on the way to the airport. The first amendment at its finest.”
