MUSIC VIDEO NEWS
REBECCA LYNN HOWARD
REBECCA LYNN HOWARD: Two-time Grammy and IBMA winner Rebecca Lynn Howard — songwriter who has written hits for country royalty and “possesses one of country music’s most powerful voices” (Billboard) — has released the music video to her Jan. 24 “Heart Still Does,” an upbeat track from her forthcoming album, I’m Not Who You Think I Am, (May 2, Pump House Records).
The video was shot at “The Underdog” in Nashville and was directed and produced by Olivia Quin. Making a cameo in the buoyant clip is Elisha Hoffman, Howard’s husband and producer of her forthcoming album. Pre-save I’m Not Who You Think I Am here. Listen to “Heart Still Does” here and watch the music video here.
Of the song’s concept, Howard says, “Laughter is the best medicine, and when I hear ‘Heart Still Does’ I can’t help but cackle. One of my favorite things to do in writing a song is to take a somewhat serious topic like love-gone-wrong and see if there’s any way to lighten it up. This one hits that way for me for sure. It’s a song I think will give folks who may be going through a bad heartbreak a little solace and maybe help them see their circumstance in a different light. Sometimes resilience comes through not taking yourself so seriously.” More at RebeccaLynnHoward and on social media. #RebeccaLynnHoward

Produced by Trent Willmon (Cody Johnson, Brad Paisley, Eric Church), mixed by Jack Clarke and mastered by Andrew Mendelson, Bosko offers a heartfelt rendition that reflects her respect for Kristofferson’s storytelling and lyrical depth.
“My dad raised me on traditional country music, so it’s ingrained in my DNA and artistry. As I got older and studied my favorite songwriters, I fell deeper in love with Kristofferson’s storytelling. I always include ‘Help Me Make It Through the Night’ in my live set because it allows me to sing with raw honesty,” Bosko shares. “It’s a masterclass in songwriting—stripped down to nothing but truth, longing and vulnerability.”
“Help Me Make It Through The Night” follows the acoustic version of current chart-climbing single “Better Than You (After Hours)” with multi-Platinum selling traditionalist Joe Nichols.

BOWMAN
BOWMAN: Indie country recording artist, Bowman (Kino Mas Entertainment), known for “shakin’ things up,” is rolling out of his “Deuces Wild” Series. Pushing back against predictability, Bowman appeals to audiences entertained by the unpredictable. The 2025 “Deuces Wild” Waterfall Series, produced by Johnny Garcia (lead guitarist for Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood), features back-to-back recordings showcasing Bowman’s versatile talents to deliver music that embraces and conveys his personality and colorful performance style. Igniting the series launch, Bowman kicks it into high gear with the release of the gritty blue-collar pride anthem, “Country Money” and turns the temperature to slow things down with the sultry follow-up single, “Keep On Lovin’ You”.
“The song’s about what middle-class blue collar folks to do to earn a buck–getting hands dirty, ‘turning grain into greenback’ and keeping cash in a Folgers’ coffee can,” notes Bowman. “Having grown up as a third-generation plumber, I can relate. But it’s also a prideful song and that’s what drew me. The production is gritty, backwoods country with a little bit of funk.”
Bowman will follow with four more tunes in the “Deuces Wild” series; with Deck II recordings (“Shakedown”/”Give Me One Reason”) dropping in in March and April, followed by Deck III (“Carnival”/”Boom”) dropping in June and July 2025.

Initially released on his 2018 See You Try album, “Missing You” has been a fan favorite for many years. The song was written by Jonathan Singleton, Barry Dean and Dave Barnes. Craig recorded the updated version of the song that explores the feelings of longing and regret after a breakup. He produced the track with Jeremy Stover and recorded it at Station West in Berry Hill, TN. Bart Busch mixed the single at 1081 Studio, and he engineered it with Austin Stanley.
