Kelly Clarkson “Blinding Lights”

Kelly Clarkson is BACK with “The Kelly Clarkson Show” for Season 7!

The new season kicked off yesterday on NBC, and you know I love the “Kellyoke” segments, as this woman literally can sing ANYTHING and make it sound as good as- or even better- than the original.

Case in point, Kelly’s latest-  a version of The Weeknd’s smash hit “Blinding Lights”:


Seriously, we need a massive album of Kelly’s Best Kellyoke Moments.

Problem is, how do you even choose which are the best? They’re all so dang good.

Check out “The Kelly Clarkson Show”- Season 7 is underway weekdays on NBC.

Judas Priest and Ozzy Osbourne “War Pigs”

As promised, Judas Priest released a version of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” today, featuring the late Ozzy Osbourne on some of the vocals.

It all started this Summer when Judas Priest couldn’t make it to perform at the final Black Sabbath show, so to show their support, they performed “War Pigs” in concert, and then Ozzy decided to hit the studio with them to record the track before his passing.

It’s rockingly bittersweet:

Ah. Legendary.

And the best part? All sales of this particular version go directly to the Glenn Tipton Parkinson’s Foundation and Cure Parkinsons.

Rock on!

Chappell Roan and Nancy Wilson of Heart “Barracuda”

Ahhhhhh!

This is so badass.

Pop Superstar Chappell Roan is known for her killer vocals, and for performing Heart’s 1970’s hit “Barracuda” live in concert.

Well, that just got amplified by none other than Nancy Wilson of Heart joining Chappell Roan for a rendition at Forest Hills Stadium in NYC recently.

It rocks just as hard as you would think:


HELL YES!!!!!

So much badassery on one stage.

Chappell Roan is KILLING it!

Catch her on the road- dates are at https://www.iamchappellroan.com/ and Heart has extended their tour- more info at https://www.heart-music.com/

Cheers to the Rock Goddesses!!!

Miley Cyrus “Secrets”

Miley Cyrus continues to impress me.

I used to simply be annoyed by her. But these past few years, she has really proven herself as an artist. She’s not only an incredible vocalist, but also a songwriter and visionary.

She just released the deluxe version of her latest album “Something Beautiful”, and there’s a few new tracks on there.

The one that stood out to me is her song “Secrets”- which features Mick Fleetwood and Lindsey Buckingham formerly of Fleetwood Mac.

Yeah, that’s major.

The song is apparently a peace offering to her father Billy Ray Cyrus, who she has separated herself from these past few years.

Enjoy:


I absolutely love that song- and the whole Fleetwood Mac vibe that it gives.

Also, Fleetwood Mac is her dad’s favorite band, so that’s why she got Mick and Lindsey involved.

Pretty cool, right?

 

Miley says there is freedom in forgiveness, and she’s absolutely not wrong.

Check out the deluxe version of “Something Beautiful” out now.

Way to continue to slay!!!

HARDY “Dog Years”

Country/Rock star HARDY just released a tearjerker of a Country song called “Dog Years”, written from the perspective of a beloved rescue dog at the end of his life.

HARDY had written this song over a decade ago as a tribute to his beloved dog, and it just proves once again his songwriting skills:

Are you crying? You should be.

As a dog mom, who has once lost her best friend, and who now has a 10-year-old rescue coming into his twilight years, this hits hard.

What I love about HARDY, aside from the fact that he can bounce back and forth to Country to Rock seamlessly, is his songwriting ability.

He had me crying halfway through this song, which is the mark of a great writer.

It’s the emotion, people!

 

“Dog Years” is off of HARDY’s upcoming album, “Country! Country!” which drops this upcoming Friday, September 26th.

Well done, son!

Aerosmith and YUNGBLOOD “My Only Angel”

Aerosmith (well, half of Aerosmith- Steven Tyler and Joe Perry) have teamed up with British rocker YUNGBLOOD for a heavy-hitting new song “My Only Angel”, and yeah, it kind of rocks.

I mean, how can it not with these three?


I’m here for it!  Honestly, YUNGBLOOD is definitely getting my attention now.  Once I heard him performing live at the VMAs last weekend with Steven and Joe, I was like, “Ok! I’m in”.

Which is good, because the three have a collaborative EP called “One More Time” dropping November 21st.

Hell yeah!

Lakelin Lemmings “Parking Lot”

Ok, this makes my heart beyond happy.

Up-and-coming Country artist Lakelin Lemmings- who just happens to be from my hometown of Henderson, TN, just released a new single, and… it’s perfect.

Even better? The music video takes place in my Alma Mater Chester County High School’s parking lot!

This song totally nails small-town teenage life on the head.

Check it out!

Ok, LOVE the song. Her voice is fantastic, expressive, and has that true Country sound. The production (and the video!) are great as well.

Growing up in Henderson, TN and hoping to move back when my husband retires, this gives me all the feels.

The parking lot was where it was at 25 years ago when I was in high school, and I’m happy to see that some things never change.

I remember driving my parents’ Chevy Dually blaring Kid Rock’s “Devil Without a Cause”  Dr. Dre, and Britney Spears, and always taking 2 spaces to park.

Living all over the country as an Army wife and radio personality, I can honestly tell you that there truly is no place like home.

I can’t wait to see where Lakelin Lemmings goes.

Girlfriend has it.

I’m in your corner, girl!

MTV VMA Ozzy Ozbourne Tribute

Last night was the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards- basically the one night of the year that MTV actually has music.

Here’s what stood out to me- YUNGBLOOD, Steven Tyler, Joe Perry and Nuno Bettencourt paying tribute to the late Metal icon Ozzy Osbourne.

This is pretty damn good- enjoy:

First off- YUNGBLOOD killed it.

And how great was it to see Steven Tyler and Joe Perry sharing the stage again? Steven has had major vocal chord issues, resulting in the cancellation of Aerosmith’s Farewell tour. But I think he sounded great, considering his condition.

Oh, and according to Joe Perry- the famed Aerosmith guitarist- Aerosmith will most likely share the stage at least one more time. Not a full-blown tour as originally planned, but any Aerosmith is better than none.

Rock on!

Zac Brown Band Feat. Dolly Parton “Butterfly”

The Zac Brown Band has teamed up with the ultimate QUEEN of life Dolly Parton for a beautiful, inspiring new song called “Butterfly”.

I feel like it’s one some people may need to hear, and hopefully helps them heal from whatever they are going through:


I don’t know about you, but I really enjoyed that song.

We’ve all been in a dark cocoon from time to time, and this is just a reminder that it does get better.

Music is powerful.

“Butterfly” is off of The Zac Brown Band’s upcoming album “Love & Fear” and that will be out on December 5th.

They will also be starting a Las Vegas residency at The Sphere, which I’m sure will be epic as all get out, as The Zac Brown Band is fantastic live.
