Lainey Wilson and Kelly Clarkson “Country’s Cool Again”

Ya’ll know I love me some Lainey Wilson AND I’m all about some Kelly Clarkson “Kellyoke”, so naturally, I was pretty dang stoked to see THIS happen:

ALLLLL the YES right there!

 

Lainey was a guest on the “Kelly Clarkson Show” this week, and it was just as fun as you’d expect.


 

 

Ok, I really want to hang out with these ladies and have a drink or three with them.  They seem like my kind of people!

Also, Lainey is poised for another massive 2024, with her tour and a possibly some new music! Stay tuned…

Also, get her dates at http://LaineyWilson.com

2024 has been pretty dang great musically so far, don’t you think?

New Morgan Wallen “Lies, Lies, Lies”

Morgan Wallen is easily one of the biggest stars on the radio right now- not just in Country, but in Pop as well. His latest album “One Thing at a Time” was released a year ago, and it was the biggest selling album of 2023, and solidified his superstardom.

So, to celebrate such a momentous occasion, Morgan Wallen released a 7 song project called “Abbey Road Sessions” recorded last Fall at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London as a gift to his fans.

And within that project, he released a fan favorite “Lies, Lies, Lies”-  check it out below!

 

Pretty dang catchy, right? I’m it will end up being another #1 hit because, well, it’s Morgan Wallen. He’s pretty much the Taylor Swift of Country music right now.

 

Here are the other songs on his project:

 

“Sunrise”

 

“Graveyard Whistling”

 

“I Deserve a Drink”

 

“I Wrote the Book”

“Everything I Love”

 

“Thinkin’ Bout Me”

Pretty cool, right?  What an iconic place to record. Also, he sounds great.

Morgan is currently working on his next project, as well as hitting the road BIG TIME this year.

Kacey Musgraves on”Saturday Night Live”

Last night, Kacey Musgraves was the Musical Guest on “Saturday Night Live” ahead the release of her new album “Deeper Well”, and of course, she owned it:

Here’s her performance of the title track “Deeper Well”:

 

And her latest single “Too Good to Be True”:

Kacey is always simplistic perfection with her music and her live performances. There’s something almost hypnotic about her voice, and her overall aura. I’ve never understood why she never got as much airplay as say… Carrie Underwood or Kelsea Ballerini in Country radio. I’ve always advocated for her, and I remember playing the fire out of “Merry Go Round”, “Follow Your Arrow” and “Blowin’ Smoke”, but for some reason they never hit the top of the charts.  Not that it matters… Kacey has proven that she doesn’t need twenty number one hits to be a staple.  I mean, Florida-Georgia Line had a ton of #1 songs, and let’s be real, they’re weren’t a patch on Kacey’s artistry and talent.  Kacey has stood her ground, and has the career longevity (and Grammys!) to prove it.

I’m excited for her next chapter, in which she returns to her Country roots. Her album “Deeper Well” drops March 15th.

She also announced her “Deeper Well” world our, and those dates are up at http://kaceymusgraves.com

And just for a throwback, here’s where a lot of Country fans discovered Kacey’s pure vocals:

Also, Granger Smith and his wife Amber play the couple in the video, and I am getting all the feels from that.

13 years ago. Whattttt?

Kelly Clarkson Covers Tiffany “I Think We’re Alone Now”

Kelly Clarkson knocks it out of the vocal ballpark again!

First off, thank you to Tony Page Jr. for sending this to me via Facebook- he knows I’m always down for some Kellyoke action.

I always Love , Love, LOVE 80’s music, so when you put the two together, it’s an automatic win.

Check out her cover of Tiffany’s 1987 smash  “I Think We’re Alone Now” :

Ok, Kelly just nailed that one. And her band is fantastic. That drummer, though. He killed it!

What song would you like to see Kelly cover?

Miley Cyrus/Pharrell Williams “Doctor (Work it Out)”

Miley Cyrus has teamed back up with Pharrell Williams for a poppin’ new rack called “Doctor (Work it Out) and it’s fun as hell.

The track was originally supposed to be on Miley’s 2013 album “Bangerz”, but was scrapped from the project. Over a decade later, here it is, and I’m sure you’ll be hearing it A LOT in 2024.

Ok, so not the most brilliant lyrics, but I’m pretty sure that’s not the point of this song.

It’s fun, catchy, and has a great beat (because Pharrell) and I’ve been singing it all morning.

That’s a good sign.

Also, Miley giving Barbarella/Tina Turner vibes is my favorite version of her.

Years ago, she merely annoyed me, but she has totally proven herself as an artist, and is now one of my favorites. She’s been through a lot, and has come through slaying.

GO MILEY!

Carly Pearce “hummingbird”

Well, my Friday morning has been made.

Carly Pearce just announced her fourth studio album via Big Machine Label Group! I figured it was coming soon, as she wiped her instagram clean this week- always a good indicator that something is coming.

The new album is called “hummingbird” and is out June 14th. And the title track is absolutely STUNNING:

How gorgeous is that?

I was immediately transported into another world with that song. It’s one that brings it’s own imagery, which is one of my favorite things that a song can do.

Here’s what Carly put on her instagram to tease the song:


I love that so much. It seems like Carly is coming through the tough times beautifully, and I can’t wait to hear the full album

You can also catch her on the road with Tim McGraw this Spring/Summer on the “Standing Room Only” tour, and you can find the dates at http://carlypearce.com

Kacey Musgraves “Too Good to be True”

Well, this was a pleasant surprise…

Kacey Musgraves just released her second single off of her upcoming “Deeper Well” album today- I wasn’t expecting i until tomorrow, but hey, I’m not mad at it!

And of course, the song is beautiful, like every other song she releases.

It’s called “Too Good To Be True”, and it’s about the glow of an early relationship when everything is perfect, and you’re waiting for that oher shoe to drop, so to speak:

I just absolutely love her voice. So simple and pure, as is her music.

Her new album “Deeper Well”, in which she returns to her Country roots (good!)- comes out March 15th. Kacey also just announced her “Deeper Well” world tour, and you can get dates and other info at http://kaceymusgraves.com

Both she and Justin Timberlake are releasing new albums on March 15th.

It’s gonna be a great day for new music!

Ashley McBryde “Devil I Know”

Ashley McBryde is one of my favorite artists- not just in Country- but in all the genres.

She is a fantastic vocalist, writer, and just as real as they come.

Also, if you have ever seen her live, you would know just how special she is.

She just announced her new radio single, “Devil I Know” and if you haven’t heard it yet, here ya go:


I’m so happy she chose this song- the title track of her latest album- to be her next single. It is one of my favorites off of her latest project.

Also, here she is performing it live:


Told you she slays live.

Kevin Bacon Serenades Farm Animals With a Cover of “Texas Hold ‘Em”

Ok, this totally made my week!

Actor Kevin Bacon and his wife Kyra Sedwick did an impromtu performance of Beyonce’s mega-Country hit “Texas Hold ‘Em” (which is topping BOTH the Billboard Hot 100 AND Country charts this week!) for his farm animals, and thankfully posted the gloriousness on social media for all of us to enjoy.

I have always liked Kevin and Kyra, and even more so now after seeing this.

 

Can we have more of this on the internet, please?

“Horizon: An American Saga” Trailer

Kevin Costner has been VERY busy lately.

Obviously NOT with “Yellowstone” (Boo.), but instead, working on his epic Western  “Horizon: An American Saga”, and the trailer for Part One has been released:

Ok, consider me officially interested.

I love a good Western saga (“Lonesome Dove” forever has my heart) and after watching the trailer, I’m so ready for this!

“Horizon” is a four part Post-Civil War Western Epic, and the first two movies will be in theaters this Summer.

The first will be on June 28th, and the 2nd on August 16th.

The remaining films haven’t even been shot yet, and Kevin Costner is putting everything he has into this project: emotionally, professionally, and financially. He’s got a lot riding on this- pun intended- and this has been a dream of his for the past thirty years, and honestly, I can’ wait to see it come into fruition.

Also, the cast is pretty spectacular, with obviously Kevin Costner, as well as Sienna Miller, as he leading roles.

I have a feeling this is going to be pretty damn awesome…
