Morgan Wallen on “Saturday Night Live”

Morgan Wallen is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars in music right now.

Not just in Country, but ALL the genres.

He recently announced his upcoming 37-track album “I’m the Problem”, which comes out May 16th, and of course, he’s starting to make the promotional rounds.

First stop?

“Saturday Night Live”.

Now, you may remember that Morgan was slated to perform on SNL in 2020, but they cancelled his performance because he was making out with girls at a bar, and not “being responsible” with COVID 19 protocol.

It was a little overblown if you ask me, but whatever.

Anyhow, he they invited him back on the show, and all was well.

He performed again last night, and did two of his songs off of his upcoming album, and I have to say, Morgan always delivers live.

Here’s his latest single “I’m the Problem”:


Pretty solid, right?

And his second song he performed is “Just in Case”:

Oh, and apparently, he stormed off stage at the end of the show and bailed.

A bit later, he made a post on his instagram stories of his private jet and the caption, “Get me to God’s Country”:

Can you blame him?

Maybe he didn’t want to hang with the SNL crowd.

I get it.

Could he have been less obvious? Probably.

But who knows how he was treated on set? Or maybe he had to pee.

Either way, Morgan is no stranger to controversy, and let’s be real, it has done nothing to hurt his career.

On the flipside, I feel like it’s made it even bigger.

Again, Morgan’s new album “I’m the Problem” drops May 16th, and I’m betting it’s going to be the biggest selling album of the year, and he’s hitting the road this year with an all-star line-up, and you can get the dates at http://MorganWallen.com

Morgan Wallen is ready to takeover 2025.

He just dropped two new songs off of his upcoming album “I’m the Problem”- due out May 16th- and yep, they’re really good.

Let’s be honest- whether you like the guy or not- you kind of have to admit that he’s got some good stuff.

Here’s the latest:

“Just In Case”:

And “I’m a Little Crazy”:

If his new album is full of songs like this, well, it will easily be the biggest of 2025.

Again, “I’m the Problem” comes out May 16th, and Morgan will be the musical guest on “Saturday Night Live” on March 29th.

Not to mention his upcoming tour… dates are up at http://Morganwallen.com

Yeah, there’s no getting away from this guy.

I’m not mad at it.

Eric Church “Hands of Time”

Eric Church is BACK!

I was so excited to hear this new single, and be brought back to the Eric Church of a few years back.

His new single “Hands of Time” is perfect.

Enjoy:

Here’s the full lyrics:

“Hands Of Time”
“Detroit built brakes so that they could make a Chevy slow down
And a just-right midnight sorry might turn goodbye around
Bloody Marys and aspirin will give a hangover one hell of a fight
But my remedy for handling the hands of time

Is Seger singing “Hollywood Nights”
Even the losers get lucky sometimes
A paradise by the dashboard light
And I’m just fine, I’m doing alright
We ain’t as young as we used to be
But young at heart is so easy
When you let some loud guitars and words that rhyme
Handle the hands of time

My go-to game day jersey’s always Carolina blue
When I need to find forgiveness, I find a little small town church pew, yeah
After work I like to put my elbows up on a bar
And girl, I turn to the speakers when I need to speak to this ol’ heart

And it’s “Back In Black,” “Shook Me All Night Long”
“Could You Be Loved,” “Redemption Song”
“Luckenbach,” “Home Sweet Home”
I’m “Where I Belong,” “Ain’t Nothing Wrong,” yeah
We ain’t as young as we used to be
But young at heart is so easy
When you let some loud guitars and words that rhyme
Handle the hands of time
Hands of time

Tryin’ to hang on as the song rolls
Like gravity pulls on the grains of sand
We take our licks, life takes its toll
We say thanks and we fold our hands

And it’s “Amazing Grace,” how sweet the sound (“Amazing Grace”)
Sunday morning coming down
Tuesday’s gone, green grass of home (Tuesday’s gone)
I come to the garden alone, yeah
We ain’t as young as we used to be
But until under that willow you bury me
I’m gonna turn up some loud guitars
Turn up some loud guitars
(Turn it up loud) Turn up some loud guitars
(Turn it up) Crank some loud guitars
Crank up some loud guitars (Turn it up, turn it up now)
Wanna hear some loud guitars (Turn it up, turn it up now)
I’m gonna let some loud guitars and words that rhyme
(Turn it up, turn it up now, turn it up)
Handle the hands of time”

 

Oh, hell yes.

That’s one of the great things about music. It can always handle the “Hands of Time”.

The song is off of his new album “Evangeline Vs. The Machine”, and you can get info, tour dates, all that good stuff at https://www.ericchurch.com/

Are These the Best Country Songs of the 90’s?

The 90’s… what a time to be alive.

One of the many things about the best decade ever was the Country Music. 90’s Country is next level, and I really don’t think anyone can argue me that.

But what one CAN argue on (because we are humans, and arguing about anything and everything is in our DNA) is this list of the “Best Country Songs of the 90’s”.

“Holler” – A Country Music website- put out a list of the best songs from the ’90s.  Here are the Top 10:

 

 

1.  “Chattahoochee” by Alan Jackson:

One word: ICONIC
2.  “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” by Toby Keith

THE best song out of Toby’s catalogue. And easily one of the best of the decade.
3.  “How Do I Live” by LeAnn Rimes:


I’ll be honest. I never really liked this song. First off- both LeAnn Rimes and Trisha Yearwood had the same song out at the same time (which was dumb), and even though LeAnn’s vocals are killer, it always struck me odd for a teenager to sing that song.

I mean, dramatic much?

Yeah, hard pass for me.

 

 

4.  “Friends in Low Places” by Garth Brooks:

One of the best party songs ever. No arguments here!

Now, it would be cool if Garth would actually put his music videos on YouTube like everyone else…
5.  “Independence Day” by Martina McBride:


Another classic… and fun fact: it’s NOT about the 4th of July at all, yet it’s played a lot on that holiday.

Listen to the lyrics, people!

 

 

6.  “Achy Breaky Heart” by Billy Ray Cyrus:


I’m embarrassed to admit that 9-year-old me liked this song.

42 year-old me thinks it’s basically Luke Bryan with a mullet.

Also, Billy has fallen waaaaayyyy off of his rocker these past few decades.

Too much fame too fast can do that.

 

 

7.  “Fancy” by Reba McEntire:

Reba is a freaking QUEEN, and this song will always hit.

Although, as I kid, I thought she was singing “Here’s your watch back, Fancy don’t let me down”.

Because, back in the 90’s, one couldn’t simply google lyrics.

Kids today will never understand.
8.  “Neon Moon” by Brooks & Dunn:


Oh, HELL YES!

One of the best lines in Country Music is in this song: “Watch your broken dreams dance in and out of the beams of a neon moon”…

Classic.

 

 

9.  “Maybe It Was Memphis” by Pam Tillis:


Pam Freaking Tillis.

What a legend. That voice… that heritage… and this song is perfection. It’s extra special to me, as I fell in love with my husband in Memphis. This was before you could go to Beale Street with much less of a chance of being shot.

 

 

 

10.  “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” by Brooks & Dunn:


If you didn’t know the line dance to this in the 90’s, you were lame. It was like the OG TikTok dance.

So, there you have it.

The 10 Best Songs of the 90’s according to “Holler”.

Do you agree?

What songs are missing?

Where’s Garth Brook’s “The Dance”?

Or Shania’s “Any Man of Mine”?

ANY AND ALL George Strait?

What say you?

Dua Lipa Performs AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell”

Damn.

Dua Lipa just earned some more of my respect.

I’ve always liked the pop star, who has a great, strong voice and catchy songs… but I didn’t realize how good her vocals actually are until just now.

She brought her “Radical Optimism” tour to Melbourne, Australia, and took a chance at covering the iconic Aussie band AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell” in concert, and it paid off I’d say:


Damn, Dua Lipa.

Yeah, I had no idea she had that in her. Mad respect!

Check out where she’ll be next at DuaLipa.com

She definitely went up a few notches for me with this performance. Well done!

“American Idol” Contestant Bryson Quick Puts a Country Spin on Pink Floyd’s “Time”

Ok, I admit it.

I’ve kind of, sort of started watching “American Idol” again.

My husband and I watched it religiously for years, then kind of got bored with it, so we moved on.

Well, now my three-year-old son is obsessed, and so we keep it on, as he gets super excited anytime someone sings.

This performance got my attention last night… a high school student named Bryson Quick auditioned with a really cool Country take on Pink Floyd’s classic “Time”:

Pretty damn cool…

As a Country and Classic Rock fan, I can definitely appreciate that.

And yes, “American Idol” is staged as hell… but there is some great talent that comes from the show, and I’m really loving Carrie Underwood as a judge this year.

Catch Season 7,467 (or whatever we’re on now) on Sunday and Monday nights on ABC.

Guess I’ll drink the Kool-Aid for my kid’s sake!

Miranda Lambert “I Don’t Love Here”

20 years ago today, Miranda Lambert released her breakthrough Country album “Kerosene”, and it launched her into Country music stardom.

Yeah. 20 years ago. 2005.

The math is mathing and it kind of stings, right?

To celebrate the anniversary, Miranda released a deluxe version of “Kerosene” on vinyl, and reached into the vault to release a song from 20 years ago that didn’t make it on the album (but should have) called “I Don’t Love Here”.

Of course, it’s really good:

Awwww… I love baby Miranda’s voice!

Honestly, that song could still be a hit.

20 years later, Miranda is still – and always will be- a Country music staple.

She’s on the road pretty much all year with everyone from Ella Langley to Morgan Wallen, and you can find dates and info at http://Mirandalambert.com

Josh Turner Interview!

I had the pleasure of checking in with Country star Josh Turner today- he’s performing at Pueblo Memorial Hall tonight, and he called into the show for a little chat.

 

I TOLD you that his speaking voice is as sexy as his singing voice!

 

He’s on the road this year on his “This Country Music Thing” tour to promote his new album of the same name.

Chappell Roan Goes Country With “The Giver”!

Unless you’ve been living solely on another planet, you’ve heard about the incredibly talented Chappell Roan.

You know… the creative mind and killer voice behind Pop hits like “Good Luck Babe”, “Hot to Go”, and “Pink Pony Club”, and, of course, the winner of the coveted Grammy for “Best New Artist” this year.

She’s kind of a badass.

Well, the dropped her “Country” song today, and even as a 100,000 %  straight woman, I can appreciate it.

Check out “The Giver”:

Catchy, right?

Basically, she’s saying she can do it better than any man can.

I don’t doubt it.

And, Country traditionalists… don’t lose your mind. She only released a Country song for fun. She grew up in rural Missouri, and is pretty well-versed in the Country lifestyle. So, yeah, she gets a hall pass.

She has confirmed this week that she is staying in Pop music, but she wanted to drop a Country song because she loves the genre, and it’s what she grew up on.

Fair enough.

The woman can sing and perform her ass off, and is really a breath of fresh air on the Pop scene.

Oh, and she gets the job DONNNNNNEEEEE.
