Joel Crouse was onstage at Gillette Stadium in 2013 singing his debut country single “If You Want Some” while 55,000-plus Taylor Swift fans found their way to their seats. It was a home-state gig for Crouse, a native of Holland, Massachusetts, and the then-21-year-old was wrapping up his leg of opening Swift’s Red Tour. Ed Sheeran was on the run too, and the songwriters, about the same age, became friends and sounding boards for each other.

A crucial partner swap and a second round of entertaining live performances bolstered the latest episode of “The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart.”
Before things fell apart, the six remaining couples were at peace. Savannah even dubbed her relationship with Brandon “harmonious.” But Chris Harrison soon changed everything when he revealed the couples would be put to the ultimate test. In order to see if the relationships they created were solid, the couples would swap partners. The three new couples who ventured on dates were Jamie and Ryan, Chris and Rudi, and Julia and Brandon. Rudi was disappointed because she had yet to go on a date with Matt and could use the additional alone time. She was also jealous of Natascha, who seemed excited to have Matt and Trevor all by herself for some flirty fun in the sun. Sheridan was wary about Julia and Brandon but took...

Remember last week when Chris Harrison told everyone on “The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart” that they have to solidify their partnerships and if they’re not feeling it, they need to book it? Well, just kidding — sort of.
In a classic reality TV move, the show will drop a twist in Episode 4: couple swap. Yup, the remaining six couples — Natascha and Ryan, Julia and Sheridan, Bri and Chris, Rudi and Matt, Jamie and Trevor, and Savannah and Brandon — have to switch partners just for dates to test their relationships. If only Gabe had stuck it out for one more week! Would the show have done this twist if not for the Julia-Brandon-Savannah love triangle? Probably, but now it’s gleefully doing it.
Of course, Julia and Brandon will be paired up, leaving Savannah fuming and poor lovesick Sheridan devastated. ABC teases that “a shocking exit brings another...

Ned LeDoux celebrates the old ways of livin’, Joel Crouse returns with an Ed Sheeran co-write, and Kelsea Ballerini just wants to stay home in this week’s list of the best country songs to stream now.
Levi Hummon & Runaway June, “Cowboy Take Me Away”
A Dixie Chicks staple is reborn. When “Cowboy Take Me Away” hit the radio airwaves in November 1999, the song represented a woman’s yearning for a storybook romance. Two decades later, it unfolds like a conversation between two lovers, with Levi Hummon’s first verse adding a male perspective.

Hootie and the Blowfish have released “Hold On,” the uplifting first single from the band’s upcoming album Imperfect Circle. The Darius Rucker-led group wrapped up its headlining Group Therapy Tour last month with a pair of hometown shows in Columbia, South Carolina.
“Only heartache on the 6 o’clock news, they oughta call it the 6 o’clock blues,” sings Rucker in the first verse of the new song, driven by a funky, staccato guitar riff. “Hold On” was co-written by Chris Stapleton and Jim Beavers and is the only...
