Now that “Yellowstone” Season 5 is underway, we now have the new spinoff to look forward to next month!
“1923” stars Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford (I know, right? Holy crap!) and the official trailer dropped last night, and it looks like it’s going to be really, really good.
Helen Mirren is such a badass, btw.
I can’t wait for this!
“1923” premieres on December 18th on Paramount +

If there’s one thing everyone can agree on, it’s that Dolly Parton is a National Treasure. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a few weeks ago, and it aired on HBO this past weekend. During the ceremony, Dolly confirmed that she is making a rock album, and performed a new song called “Rockin'” to celebrate.
Is it really rock? Nah. But Dolly is a QUEEN and can do whatever the hell she wants.
Oh, and she enlisted Steve Perry- former frontman of Journey- to help her with her new album, and more to come, so I’m thinking this could be pretty great.
DOLLY FOR PRESIDENT, ya’ll!

I looove me some Texas and Red Dirt Country! I was introduced to the genre in 2011 when my husband and I moved to Fort Riley, KS where it was played on the radio, and we loved it! And it’s been really fun to see more people get into the music, which is fantastic, by the way. One of the staples of Red Dirt/Texas Country is The Casey Donahew Band. They’ve been on the scene for twenty years, and are still killing it with their new album “Built Different”. I got a chance to chat with Casey, which I’ve been wanting to do for years, so I was all for it!
When you get the chance, check out the entire Casey Donahew Band Catalogue. And educate yourself on Red Dirt and Texas Country. You won’t be sorry.

So, today at the station, a hot new Country duo called Neon Union stopped by to play us a few songs at the Silversound Guitar Studio and they were incredible!
Plus, some of the nicest guys you could ever hope to meet.
Here’s a few of their songs:
“Bout Damn Time”
“This Side of the Dirt”
“Made in Mexico”
Aren’t they freaking good? They’re just getting started, too.
Thank you Jab Entertainment for bringing them to us today. This was a total treat.
And yes, my baby Brandon was trying to perform harmonies in the background. Some moms take their babies to daycare. I take mine to artist showcases. Brandon’s not mad at it.

Season 5 of “Yellowstone” premiered last night on Paramount, and yes, it was pretty dang good. No spoilers, but lets just say things are gonna get craaazzzzzyyyyyy. Like, crazier than normal for the Duttons. And of course, with the runaway success of the show, more spinoffs are coming. One that’s happening soon- like next month soon- is the 1923 prequel starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren. Serious star power, right? The teaser trailer dropped last night during the “Yellowstone” Season 5 premiere.
In case you missed it…
Aside from the annoying Elsa voice from the 1883 prequel narrating, (Never could get down with her character. Sorry, the accent and the eyeliner… who the hell had eyeliner on the Oregon Trail? People had dysentery, not eyeliner, dammit) the 1923 prequel looks pretty damn good.
It starts Dec 18th on Paramount +, so get ready!!!!

The first time I heard “Country Can” on the radio, I immediately had to look up the artist Hannah Ellis and track her down! Luckily, I was able to catch a few minutes with her and she is just as cool as her song!
Isn’t she fun? I especially love her story about being on “The Voice”- it just proves that if you really, really want something to happen, you have to chase it down, and not take NO as an answer.
Check out “Country Can” – it’s definitely one of my favorite new Country songs this year!
I can’t wait to see what happens for Hannah in the future. Whatever it is, I’m pretty sure it’s going to be awesome.

I’ll be completey honest- not a big fan of most of Luke Bryan’s music.
Luke Bryan himself? Nicest guy ever. Seriously an awesome guy. But his “Long tan legs, get in the back of my truck, drink from my cup” brand of Country never really gelled with me. (I mean, what about all the women with short, pale legs? Where’s the love for them?)
Well, he just dropped a song that- due to the title- I had to check out.
My husband is an avid hunter, and he’s said many times that he finds God when hunting. Hunting isn’t something that I don’t partake in personally, but I do understand and support hunting, and can make a mean venison stew.
It’s funny, when I told my husband this morning about this song, he said “Bet he’s got a girl with long tan legs in cutoff jeans up in that deer stand”, but then I played it for him, and he had to admit that it’s a good song, and that he definitely relates to it.
That’s what Country music is, after all. Or what it should be, at least.
I hope Luke keeps putting out more songs like this!

Morgan Wallen has pretty much owned Country Radio in 2022.
His latest single “You Proof” is still at #1 for the 3rd or 4th week… I’m losing track. He’s also announced that he is in full album “Grind Mode”- so we should be getting more Morgan in 2023.
In the meantime, he just released his latest single to Country radio “Thought You Should Know” and yes, it’s gonna be all over in a day or two.
Anyone who loves their Mama like I do will definitely relate to this one.
I’m happy to see that Morgan seems to be on the right track, and keeping out of trouble (for the time being!) and I’m pulling for him.
Can’t wait for his next album! You know it’s gonna dominate. He’s like Taylor Swift with a bad rep and a mullet.
He can’t lose.
