We’re officially days away from kicking off 2022.
Although it’s hard to believe that this year is almost over, with the end of December comes a lot of reflection on the last 12 months.
As we’ve been putting together lots of year-end lists here at Whiskey Riff, like our Top 40 Country Albums of 2021 list, I’ve been looking back on all of the awesome content this year from our kickass writers that bring you breaking news, wacky stories, and tons of updates on the best new country music you need to know about each week.
I’ve enjoyed reading the all the funny, insightful and original articles from the writers on my team as much as y’all have, and I wanted to take some time to share a few of my favorite posts from each writer this year in case you missed it the first time around, or in case you just want some fun stuff to read if you have a few more days off this year with some down time.
Cheers to much more good stuff coming from all your favorite writers in 2022:
