Granger Smith and his family have endured what is likely the worst pain imaginable, having lost their youngest son River last month in a drowning accident. The singer and his wife have been struggling to make sense of what happened, and have come up with some unexpectedly beautiful and poignant moments in the wake of the tragedy.
In a video posted to his family YouTube channel Monday (July 22), Smith explained to fans where he and wife Amber are at in their grief process, noting they've been contacted by many people who are in a similar situation dealing with loss and grief, including several who have specifically lost a child.

Among today’s country artists,Old Crow Medicine Show have become synonymous with the Ryman Auditorium, Nashville’s “mother church of country music.” On September 20th, the Grand Ole Opry members will pay homage to their long-running relationship with the venue with the release of the new concert document Live at the Ryman.
The 11-track collection — all recorded at the Ryman between 2013 and 2019 — includes both Old Crow staples like “Brushy Mountain Conjugal Trailer” and “Methamphetamine,” and traditionals and covers like “Will the Circle Be Unbroken,” “CC Rider,” and “Sixteen Tons.” The requisite “Wagon Wheel” also makes the cut.
