Morgan Wallen

Wallen's baby boy Indigo was born in July.

"I understand that I offended some people."

The two outlaw-oriented artists have a healthy appreciation for each other's music.

If live music isn't happening right now, this is a pretty good substitute.

Even though they recorded 'Only Thing That's Gone' for Wallen's new album, the two stars have only met in passing.

It's one of 30 songs on Wallen's sophomore album, the double-disc 'Dangerous'.

The rebellious singer got annoyed that the retailer messed up his release date, so he went ahead and leaked some songs himself.

He says he's "far too blessed to complain" despite some trying times.

Sam Hunt's 'Southside' album is a unicorn on this list.

Did you listen to all of these tunes this year?
