“Wiggle Up, Giddy Up!”

The Wiggles have gone Country!

If you have kids, you know ALL about The Wiggles.

My 3-year old son is totally a fan, and I have to admit, they’re pretty dang good for what they do. I have caught myself many a time singing “Lazy Lion” and other jams from them.

Well, being a fan of Country music, and working in that industry, I have to say, I’m pretty jazzed to find out that The Wiggles have a legit Country album in the pipeline called “Wiggle Up, Giddy Up!” and here is the title track featuring the viral Country singer Dasha:


Ok, my kid was bouncing all over the place when I played this, and lets be real, he’s the target audience, so I think it’s a win.

Oh, and the album will also feature Dolly Parton, Lainey Wilson, Jackson Dean and more.

So, it’s no joke.

“Wiggle Up, Giddy Up” will be out March 7th, and real talk… I’m a little excited.

Kelly Clarkson Covers Hozier’s “Too Sweet”

Kelly Clarkson is back from the holiday break with her “The Kelly Clarkson Show” on NBC, and she’s bringing it once again with her “Kellyoke” covers.

Today, she covered Hozier’s 2024 #1 hit “Too Sweet”, and I think I like her version better:

Kelly seriously has the perfect Pop vocals, and she shines on this song, which to be honest, I was “meh” about until she did her version.

Can we PLEASE get a “Best of Kellyoke” album this year?

Also, Kelly has clinched a 7th season for her “The Kelly Clarkson Show”, which you can catch weekdays on NBC.

More Kellyoke please!

Morgan Wallen “Smile”

Well, this was a nice surprise this morning.

Morgan Wallen just dropped a new single called “Smile”, and I think it may be one of my favorites of his.

Written by Morgan, Ernest, Rocky Block, John Byron, Ryan Vojtezak and Luis Witkiewitz, I have a feeling this will be another #1 hit.

Because, like it or not, that’s all Morgan Wallen seems capable of producing these days.


Damn.

What I like about this song- aside from the sound and subject matter- is that it really shows of what a good vocalist Morgan is, which can sometimes be hidden with other hits like “Last Night” and “I Had Some Help”.

This definitely bodes well for more solid stuff in 2025.

And now this will be in my head all day, which isn’ a bad thing.

Have a Happy New Year!

Elle King “Banned From The Grand Ole Opry”

Remember earlier this year when Elle King got hammerfaced and performed at a Dolly Parton tribute at the Grand Ole Opry?

@kennybowman78 #dollyparton #elleking #grandoleopry ♬ original sound – Kenny B

Yeah, that was a moment for sure, and that, combined with her drunken New Years Eve performance had a lot of people wondering what the heck was going on…

Well, Elle King posted a new song to instagram this week seemingly addressing the incident.

It’s called “Banned From the Grand Ole Opry”, and it’s pretty good.

Now, did Elle actually get banned from the Opry?

Who knows? Maybe? Wouldn’t be the first time someone got kicked out of the circle.

Either way, it’s a fun song, and I really do like her voice and her style.

Wishing her all the best in 2025.

 

Zach Top “Nobody in His Right Mind Would Have Left Her” Cover

Zach Top is on FIRE!

This time last year, the up and coming Country artist Zach Top was just breaking on to the scene, and what a year he has had.

He’s had two hits on the radio with “Sounds Like the Radio” and “I Never Lie” as well as opening up for some incredible acts on tour, like Dierks Bentley and Lainey Wilson.

This guy is the real deal, as proven by his cover of George Strait’s hit “Nobody in His Right Mind Would Have Left Her”- whcih was also recorded by the great Keith Whitley:

I know this video is a few months old, but it’s recent gaining traction as Zach Top’s star rises.

Again, the kiddo is the real deal, and I can’t wait to her what he has in store for us in 2025.

Check out his album “Cold Beer and Country Music” when you get the chance, and get info, tour dates, all that good stuff at https://zachtop.com/

God bless REAL Country Music!

Morgan Wallen Teases New Music!

Christmas has come early for Morgan Wallen fans.

Yesterday, Morgan teased a snippet of a new song he’s working on, allegedly called “Since You Got Gone”, and it’s probably his next #1 hit.

Check out the clip he shared on instagram below:

A post shared by Morgan Wallen (@morganwallen)

As Morgan mentioned, it’s just a rough demo at this point, but it sounds like something you’ll be hearing on Country Radio nonstop in the next year, so get ready.

Morgan is currently working on his next project, and is heating up the charts right now with “Love Somebody”, and I’m thinking there’s no slowing down for Morgan anytime soon. Especially as those felony charges got dropped recently- that could have been a problem.

Hopefully, he slows down the partying, and just keeps on making good music.

2025 is likely to be another massive year for Morgan Wallen, and for Country Music in general, just like this year.

Bring it!

Mov B*tch, It’s Cold Outside

Need a highly inappropriate song to add to your holiday playlist?

I got you, boo.

“There, I Ruind It”- on of my favorite creators- just dropped a mash-up, and it’s glorious.

I presnt to you, “Move B*tch, it’s Cold Outside” – which combines the controversial holiday classic “Baby, it’s Cold Outside” with Ludacris’s “Move, Bitch”.

We needed this:


Honestly, I was never a fan of either tune, so I actually prefer this.

My maturity level is that of a 12-year-old boy’s.

Cody Johnson and Lainey Wilson “Mama Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys”

The Natonal Finals Rodeo just wrapped up in Las Vegas (it’s on my bucket list to go one day) and Cody Johnson was one of the featured performers, which makes sense, as he’s a legitimate cowboy. And he brought up a pretty legit cowgirl -fellow Country superstar Lainey Wilson- to perform the classic “Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys”.

And, of course, it’s great:

Here’s another look:

@gypsycowboy1 C2C 2025 we need this duo lets make it happen guys @Lainey Wilson @Cody Johnson @C2CFestival #countymusic #fyp #gypsycowboy1 #laineywilson #codyjohnson #duo#c2c #london ♬ original sound – country music Uk

Cody has mentioned that he and Lainey want to remake Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn’s “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man”, but they haven’t gotten around to it just yet.

Yep- that needs to happen in 2025.

Get on it, you two!

I’m honestly just really happy about the direction that Country music is going these days- getting away from the “Bro Country” and moving to more of a traiditonal sound.

More of that in 2025, please!
