Ever since the Country Music legend Toby Keith passed away on February 5th due to Stomach Cancer, there have been so many amazing tributes in his honor.
The latest? Post Malone.
He was in Dallas this weekend at The American Rodeo, and did a pretty solid version of Toby Keith’s “As Good as I Once Was”:
Not too shabby, right?
In case you want to enjoy the original again, here ya go:
That there, my friends, is the official Middle Age theme song.
We miss you, Toby!
And stay tuned for more Country Posty in the future. I think this is gonna be good!
Not gonna lie… I’ve been waiting for this all week!
Jack Black and Kyle Gass AKA Tenacious D had been teasing a cover of Britney Spears’s breakout hit “Baby, One More Time” on TikTok this week, and it went viral, because, I mean… how could it not?
Well, in honor of the “Kung Fu Panda 4” movie hitting theaters today (starring Jack Black) the full cover was released, and it’s perfection.
Also, peep Bryan Cranston and Dustin Hoffman in the video:
A few months ago, Cody Johnson and Jelly Roll released a really good collab called “Whiskey Bent”, and if you haven’t heard it yet, then here ya go:
Pretty good, right?
Well, Jelly Roll had a surprise for the sold out Houston Rodeo this week- he brought out Cody Johnson to the stage to perform the collab live for the first time!
What a cool surprise for the crowd. And what a great song!
I’m honestly all for the collabs that are populating Country Music. Some really good songs are coming from these surprising combos.
Both Cody and Jelly are on the road (separately, of course) this year.
New Kids on the Block just announced their first new album in 11 years called “Still Kids” AND released the first single off of it called “Kids” and it’s seriously so much fun:
LOOOVVVEEEE!
So much nostalgia here. And as a 41-year old woman who is still, indeed, a kid, I totally relate!
I was obsessed with these guys as a kiddo. I had the bed sheets, the Donny Wahlberg keychain, the shirts… all the cheesy things!
Oh, and let’s not forget this glorious dance that I couldn’t stop doing in the first grade:
Reminds me of the skate nights in elementary school. Man, growing up in the late eighties/early nineties was THE BEST!!!!
“Still Kids” drops May 17th, and I hear a tour will follow?
Morgan Wallen is easily one of the biggest stars on the radio right now- not just in Country, but in Pop as well. His latest album “One Thing at a Time” was released a year ago, and it was the biggest selling album of 2023, and solidified his superstardom.
So, to celebrate such a momentous occasion, Morgan Wallen released a 7 song project called “Abbey Road Sessions” recorded last Fall at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London as a gift to his fans.
And within that project, he released a fan favorite “Lies, Lies, Lies”- check it out below!
Pretty dang catchy, right? I’m it will end up being another #1 hit because, well, it’s Morgan Wallen. He’s pretty much the Taylor Swift of Country music right now.
Here are the other songs on his project:
“Sunrise”
“Graveyard Whistling”
“I Deserve a Drink”
“I Wrote the Book”
“Everything I Love”
“Thinkin’ Bout Me”
Pretty cool, right? What an iconic place to record. Also, he sounds great.
Morgan is currently working on his next project, as well as hitting the road BIG TIME this year.
Last night, Kacey Musgraves was the Musical Guest on “Saturday Night Live” ahead the release of her new album “Deeper Well”, and of course, she owned it:
Here’s her performance of the title track “Deeper Well”:
And her latest single “Too Good to Be True”:
Kacey is always simplistic perfection with her music and her live performances. There’s something almost hypnotic about her voice, and her overall aura. I’ve never understood why she never got as much airplay as say… Carrie Underwood or Kelsea Ballerini in Country radio. I’ve always advocated for her, and I remember playing the fire out of “Merry Go Round”, “Follow Your Arrow” and “Blowin’ Smoke”, but for some reason they never hit the top of the charts. Not that it matters… Kacey has proven that she doesn’t need twenty number one hits to be a staple. I mean, Florida-Georgia Line had a ton of #1 songs, and let’s be real, they’re weren’t a patch on Kacey’s artistry and talent. Kacey has stood her ground, and has the career longevity (and Grammys!) to prove it.
I’m excited for her next chapter, in which she returns to her Country roots. Her album “Deeper Well” drops March 15th.
Miley Cyrus has teamed back up with Pharrell Williams for a poppin’ new rack called “Doctor (Work it Out) and it’s fun as hell.
The track was originally supposed to be on Miley’s 2013 album “Bangerz”, but was scrapped from the project. Over a decade later, here it is, and I’m sure you’ll be hearing it A LOT in 2024.
Ok, so not the most brilliant lyrics, but I’m pretty sure that’s not the point of this song.
It’s fun, catchy, and has a great beat (because Pharrell) and I’ve been singing it all morning.
That’s a good sign.
Also, Miley giving Barbarella/Tina Turner vibes is my favorite version of her.
Years ago, she merely annoyed me, but she has totally proven herself as an artist, and is now one of my favorites. She’s been through a lot, and has come through slaying.
