80,000 Oklahoma Fans Honor the Late Great Toby Keith at Home Opener!

What a great way to honor a Country Legend.

Last night, at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, The Sooners not only beat the pants off of Temple, but over 80,000 fans honored longtime Sooners fan Toby Keith- who passed away in February- by singing “Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue”.

Not gonna lie, it brought a tear to my eye:

Dammnnn…

What a great way to honor the Big Dog Daddy!

This will be happening all season, as Toby’s biggest hits will be played in his honor between the 3rd and 4th Quarters of each home game this season.

As they should be.

You know Toby is in Heaven right now, holding a red solo cup and grinning like crazy.

“Yellowstone” Season 5 Part 2 Teaser Trailer!

FINALLY, we’re being thrown a bone over here.

“Yellowstone” just released their first teaser trailer for the second half of Season 2, which I feel like we’ve been waiting three decades for, and it looks like it will be worth the wait:

Oooooooohhhh…

Looks like Beth is about to be throwing down big time, and I seriously can’t wait.

Who will win in the end?

Any theories?

“Yellowstone” Season 5: Part 2 will start November 10th on Paramount.

FINALLY>

 

Ella Langley Feat. Riley Green “You Look Like You Love Me” Video

Ella Langley is one of the ones to watch in Country Music, and this music video for her song with Riley Green “You Look Like You Love Me” will just solidify her in the industry.

First of all, I love the song- it’s pure Classic Country- and the video is perfect:


Does anyone alse think Riley Green needs to be a character on “Yellowstone”, or at least on a spinoff?

He’s totally giving off Spencer Dutton vibes.

“You Look Like You Love Me” is easily one of my favorite Country songs of the year so far, and I have a strong feeling you’ll hear a lot more from Ella Langley in the future.

Anyone else super happy that the Classic Country sound is making a comeback?

It’s a beautiful thing.

Carrie Underwood Covers “A Little Less Talk” at Toby Keith Trubute

Last night, the “Toby Keith: American Icon” tribute aired on NBC, which, of course, honored the late, great Toby Keith who lost his battle with stomache cancer earlier this year.

Country Music’s biggest stars all came out to perform and pay tribute the Country legend, and Carrie Underwood’s version of “A Little Less Talk” and freaking slayed it.


I have to say, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I heard that that was the song Carrie was going to perform, but she nailed it. Her voice is so spectaculary spot on, and really, it sounds like it’s her own song.

Maybe she should release it as a single?

Seriously impressed by her version.

Also, another Toby Keith Greatest Hits Collection is coming, too, so stay tuned!

Lainey Wilson NPR Tiny Desk Concert

Lainey Wislon is on fire!

She just released her new album “Whirlwind”, which is really, really good of course, and she has now graced the NPR “Tiny Desk” stage with her band for a “Tiny Desk Concert”.

Tiny desk, big deal if you’re in the music industry.

And, naturally, Lainey and crew put on a solid performance:


Something about Lainey just makes me so happy.

Also, make sure you check out her new album “Whirlwind” out now, and catch her own the road. More info at http://Laineywilson.com

If she can rock a tiny desk, just imagine what she and her band can do on a big stage.

Motley Crue “Fight For Your Right”

Motley Crue just released a new song with John 5 on guitar- and it’s a cover of the Beastie Boys classic “Fight For Your Right:.

I mean, it’s not the original, but it’s fun, high energy, and I have to say, I am really loving John 5’s guitar on this song. It really gives it one hell of a kick:

Not too shabby.

I bet it’s fun live, if Vince can handle the live vocals.

The cover is off of their upcoming EP “Cancelled” which comes out on October 3rd.

I’ve always been a Crue fan, and an 80’s Hair Metal fan as well, so I’m always happy to hear new stuff from them.

Honestly? I’m still shocked that they’re all still alive.

I mean, you read “The Dirt”, right?

Sabrina Carpenter “Taste”

There’s so much new music out this weekend!

That’s not a bad thing whatsoever.

One of my favorite current Pop artists Sabrina Carpenter released her sixth studio album “Short n’ Sweet” yesterday, and there are some really fun, well done songs on the album, like this one called “Taste”- and bonus: the music video stars Jenna Ortega!

Ok, the video is a lot, but still, entertaining, and I’m loving the song.

Another few standouts on the album for me are “Lie To Girls”:

I’m also loving “Dumb and Poetic”:

In all. it’s a banner Pop album, and is likely to be one of the biggest of the year. Sabrina already has two hit singles on the album with “Please, Please, Please” and of course, “Espresso”, and I’m sure there will be a few more off of it.

I love her unique, infectuous Pop sound, and some pretty great lyrics as well.

Also, every single song she has is catchy as all get out. I still have “Espresso” living rent-free in my head from earlier this year.

She will be heading out on tour this Fall/Winter, and you get get dates and more info at https://www.sabrinacarpenter.com/

Honestly, I feel like 2024 has been a pretty great year for music, and we’re just over halfway into it. Let’s keep that mometnum going!

Lainey Wilson “Whirlwind”

Lainey Wilson just dropped her new album “Whirlwind”, and I am loving the title track!

 

LOVE!!!

Then again, any song that mentons Palominos has my heart.

Here’s another few standouts for me on the album:

“Call a Cowboy”:

 

“Devil Don’t Go There”:

 

And of course, “Good Horses” with Miranda Lambert:

Lainey is so needed right now in Country music, with her legit Country sound, twangy voice, atitude and swagger. She’s got it all!

“Whirlwind” is out now, and you can catch her on tour- dates at http://LaineyWilson.com

 

“Nothin’ But a Good Time” Trailer!

Aaaaaaaaahhhh!

This looks so awesome.

The 80’s Hair Band docuseries  “Nothin’ But a Good Time: The Uncensored Story of 80’s Hair Metal” comes out on September 17th on Paramount +, and the trailer has me all kinds of ready:

So much yesssss… everyone from Poison to GNR to Def Leppard will be featured, and as a life long 80’s hairmetal fan, I definitely have this on my “must watch” list.

It’s a time that never will come again (thankfully) but oh, how glorious it was.

Like, in a really awesomely bad way.

Can we bring the look back, at least? I’m still a fan.

Who needs an Ozone layer when you can have hair like that?

Miranda Lambert “No Man’s Land”

Have I mentioned how much I love Miranda Lambert?

Maybe? Once or twice?

This new song of hers is just another reason why she is one of the best in the business- check out “No Man’s Land”:


Seriously, Miranda never misses. Her voice, delivery, and ability to evoke emotion through song is almost unmatched.  So far, I have loved every song she has put out off of her upcoming album “No Man’s Land”, which comes out September 13th.
