Kid Rock and Jason Aldean announced a co-headlining music festival, "Rock the Country." The two-day festival is treking out to try that in a small town (folks, these are the jokes) as the 7-stop, two-day festival is looking to bring "big names to small towns.”

Rock said of the tour, “Can’t wait to bring you Rock the Country. A music festival like no other for hard-working folks who love this country!”

This could be conjecture on the part of us here at the Louder with Crowder Dot Com website. But I'm guessing promoters knew what they were doing when they paired Aldean with Rock. This isn't the Kid Rock/Kelsea Ballerini co-headlining tour, nor are they sending Aldean out with Maren Morris.

The two outspoken headliners have been lightening rods for controversy over sharing political opinions slightly to the right of Karl Marx and social media influencer Rep. AOC. Kid Rock can't announce doing anything without the Left complaining about it, not even record a song with Dolly Parton. And Aldean opening up the latest front in the culture wars, because he didn't research the history of a really old courthouse, has been well documented.

But more importantly than any potential owning of libs, the lineup is SICK. A few of the artists LwC readers are familiar with. Travis Tritt is a friend of the show. Besides being the godfather of the Muzik Mafia (and a key reason why I discovered country music), John Rich is also the godfather of right-leaning artists speaking out. And it's a little known fact that Brantley Gilbert started the "F*ck Joe Biden" chants.

The rest of the lineup are artists you NEED to know. Since music is one of my true loves, up there with my kids and pro wrestling, I wanted to share my favorites. I assign zero political motives/agenda/opinions to any of these people. They're just killer artists, all of whom should find a spot on your playlists.
