Overview

Ella Langley is leading a record-breaking surge in country music chart performance, while Chris Stapleton joined Guns N' Roses for a surprise rendition of 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door' in Toronto. Meanwhile, Zac Brown's song written for Alan Jackson was passed on, and Garth Brooks reflects on the legacy of 'Friends In Low Places' and a near-miss hit that almost went to another 90s country artist.
