Whenever there is a "first time" that I get to talk to an artist, I always get excited. I want to leave them with as much as an impression as the one they will leave me. With that said, when asked, I jumped at the opportunity to chat with Joe Nichols.   He has a new album coming out on Oct. 25th (pre-order now) called "Honky Tonks and Country Songs". 11 tracks of Joe Nichols awesomeness, including his first ever duet (You would think that would have been a thing sooner).   Joe is going to be at The Cotillion this Friday (9.27). Get tickets for what will be a fantastic show.   Here are a couple of teases of songs from the new album   https://www.tiktok.com/@joenichols/photo/7407960908586061102?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7386953010852087326   Who knew this duet with Annie Bosko was his first ever.
