Jamey Johnson “Someday When I’m Old”

Jamey Johnson is back, and it’s a damn beautiful thing.

If you remember, Jamey had a massive hit in the late 2000’s with “In Color” off of his album “That Lonesome Song”, and was pretty much everywhere for a minute.

Ok, I have to flex for a second- I got to meet him back in 2009 in Valdosta, GA, and I swear the guy doens’t smile, no matter how hard I tried to make it happen:

After the success of “That Lonesome Song”, Jamey kind of laid low for about a decade and some change, but now he’s back!

He’s with Warner Music Nashville and just dropped a new song called “When I’m Old” and it’s pure Jamey Johnson:


Now, that’s what I’m talking about.

I’m hoping that he has a new album coming, which would make sense, as he’s with a new label.

It’s been 14 years since he put out a solo album, and it’s about damn time.

Jamey is a true Country artist, and the industry needs more of this.

Fingers crossed on an album announcement soon!

Ella Langley “weren’t for the wind”

Ella Langely is one of the brightest new stars in Country Music, and after the success of her duet with Riley Green “You Look Like You Love Me”, she released a new single called “weren’t for the wind”, and it’s damn good.

I just love her sound.


Freaking good, right?

Country Music needs more of her.

I think she may be my new girl crush.

Ella will be releasing a deluxe version of her debut album “Still Hungover” on November 1st, and I feel like we will be hearing a lot more from her in the future.

Good.

George Strait “Enter Sandman”?

Somehow I missed this gem when it came out a couple of weeks ago… but in case you haven’t seen it yet, I’m about to make your whole day.

There is this creator called “There, I Ruined It”, and they use AI to basically re-do songs. There’s been a lot of controversy about this creator and others of the like, espeically about the use of AI, but honestly? I think it’s just entertaining and hilarious.

Case in point:

George Strait covering Metallica?

Yet, somehow it works, and really, how amazing would it be to have George himself do a full-version?

Come on universe, make it happen.

Nate Smith and Avril Lavigne “Can You Die From a Broken Heart”

Well, this was an unexpected treat.

Country star Nate Smith has teamed up with Punk/Pop superstar Avril Lavigne for one hell of a duet called “Can You Die From a Broken Heart”.

It’s freaking fantastic.

No, really, both have incredible voices that soar over over the notes, and the melody of the song is beautiful.


Yep, I love it!

I knew something was brewing when the two were seen together in Nashville last year.  I was hoping for a collab, and here we are!

Also, Avril’s voice is still badass.

“Can You Die From a Broken Heart” is off of Nate Smith’s new album “California Gold” out Friday.

Kelly Clarkson Covers “My Heart Will Go On”

The “Kelly Clarkson Show” is back for it’s 6th Season on NBC, which means… MORE KELLYOKE!!!

I live for Kellyoke. Seriously, there is NOTHING this woman can’t sing.

Case in point:

Ok, that is one ridiculously hard song to sing.

Celine Dion is one of the most talented vocalists out there, and Kelly Clarkson just proved that she is right up there with her. I love the extra “oomph” that her voice adds to the song.

Also, how awesome does she look?

Go. Girl.

Stay tuned for more gems with Kellyoke on the “Kelly Clarkson Show”- weekdays on NBC.

Brooks and Dunn and Lainey Wilson “Play Something Country”

Well, this was just necessary.

Brooks and Dunn AND Lainey Wilson together?

All the YES right there.

Back in 2019, Brooks and Dunn released their “Reboot” album, where they re-imagined some of their greatest hits with some of Country’s biggest stars. Well, they have another similar project in the works called “Reboot 2”, featuring everyone from Lainey Wilson to Morgan Wallen to rock band Halestorm.

You’re excited right?

Because you should be.

And, to get us ready, Brooks and Dunn and Lainey Wilson just dropped their version of “Play Something Country”, and of course, it totally works:


Yep, that checks out, for sure.

Brooks and Dunn’s “Reboot 2” album will be out November 15th, and you can get more info at https://www.brooks-dunn.com/

Cody Johnson and Carrie Underwood “I’m Gonna Love You”

Country Star Cody Johnson just released a collab with vocal powerhouse Carrie Underwood, and of course, it’s lovely.

The song is called “I’m Gonna Love You”, and it’s just a pure, simple love song:


I have a feeling tha this is going to be a wedding playlist staple…

My family has a wedding venue in West Tennessee called Cogan’s Farm – http://Cogansfarm.com– so check it out!

That’s why I always have weddings on the brain.

Ok, shameless plug aside, is the song anything gorundbreaking?

No. But it doesn’t have to be.

When you have two talents like Cody and Carrie, sometimes keeping it simple and letting the vocals and emotion shine is enough.

In addition, Cody Johnson announced the deluxe version of his latest album “Leather” featuring 13 new songs on November 1st. And in case you weren’t aware, Cody Johnson live is definitely something to see- get tour dates at https://apps.codyjohnsonmusic.com/leather/ and you can catch Carrie Underwood in Vegas with her “Reflections” residency: https://www.carrieunderwoodofficial.com/

Kelly Clarkson and Miranda Lambert Cover Chappell Roan!

The “Kelly Clarkson Show” is back on NBC for the 6th season, and Miranda Lambert was one of the guests this morning, and Kelly and Miranda did an acoustic version of the Chappell Roan smash “Good Luck Babe”, and it totally killed:


Ok, can we get a full-on recorded version of that?

Their voices mesh so well, and it’s just a cool take on that song.

In case you have been on another planet this Summer, here’s the OG:

 

There’s no official music video for the song, which is annoying. BUT this live version on Jimmy Fallon from this past Summer is almost as good:


Yeah, pretty sure Chappell Roan isn’t going anywhere for a while.

Also, I can’t wait for more great covers from Kelly Clarkson this season!

You know I’ll be sharing my favorites.
