Priscilla Block “Hey Jack”

In case you’ve been missing out, I just want to let you in on one of the up-and-coming artists in Nashville. Priscilla Block combines one hell of a voice, great songwriting, and relatability into one hell of a package.

She just released a new song called “Hey, Jack”, and it totally reminds me of twenty-two year-old me. Except she pulls it off better.

The song- written by Priscilla, Randy Montana, Jeremy Stover, and Dave Cohen- is super catchy, and very relateable. Especially if you’re a young woman in her twenties trying to navigate the dating scene, or if you ever had been that woman before, which I totally was. I really hope Country Radio catches on with her style of Country. She’s already had a couple of his with “Just About Over You”, and a number one hit recently with Justin Moore on “You, Me, and Whiskey”.  I have a feeling that this is just the beginning for this super-talented woman. Also, she is crazy fun to follow on instagram.

A few years ago, when she hi it big on Tik Tok, I got a chance to cha with her, and seriously, you can’t help but love her! Check the interview below:

Isn’t she fun???

Also, she just announced her “Hey Jack” tour for 2024.

Ya’ll, the Priscilla Block Party is just getting started!

Get ready.

Kenny Chesney “Take Her Home”

Just in case you missed it, Kenny Chesney announced his “When The Sun Goes Down” Stadium tour for 2024 with the Zac Brown Band, Megan Moroney and Uncle Kracker last week. So, it was only appropriate that he release a new song as well. And it’s a good one, of course!

It’s called “Take Her Home” and I’m smelling a future #1 hit on Country Radio.

I may have teared up at the end.  Ever since becoming a mom I cry at anything and everything baby-related. It’s really annoying.

Now, I know the song follows the usual boy-meets-girl then has a family formula for Country songs, but, hey, it’s relateable.  And it tells a story, which is what Country really is all about, right? I like it, and I can’t wait for more new music from Kenny, which will be coming soon, as he has a new album in the works.

Also, have you ever been to a Kenny Chesney stadium tour? Definitely something you need to check out if you’re checking items off of your concert bucket list.  I saw him at Arrowhead Stadium a few years back, and it’s a great concert experience.  It’s funny, because my first concert that I ever attended was Kenny Chesney at the Mid-South Fair in Memphis when I was 13. It was a part of a 4-H trip, and he had maybe one or two hit songs at the time.  So, it’s funny to think of this artist who sang in a dusty arena  that smelled like cow dung going from there to massive stadiums, and being one of the biggest stars in Country Music. I love watching these journeys unfold!

Walker Hayes “Fancy Like Christmas”

Tis’ the Season for Holiday music, and Walker Hayes just released a Christmas Banger.

I’m sure you’re familiar with Walker’s smash hit from a couple of years ago “Fancy Like”, right?  Well, he just made a Christmas version, and it’s perfect.

“Bougie Like Blow Ups in the Front Yard”… Yassss….

It’s sure to be a holiday classic, right up there with “White Christmas”.

Ok, maybe not, but you know I’ll be jamming this and craving Starbucks and Applebee’s all the while.

Cheers to the holidays, ya’ll!

Chris Stapleton “Higher”

Chris Stapleton AKA “The Greatest Freaking Singer on This Planet” just dopped his 5th studio album “Higher” this morning, and it’s full of panty-dropping gems.

Take the title track “Higher”:

Holy High Notes!

I mean, is there anything Chris Stapleton’s voice can’t do?

I’m thinking negative, Ghostrider.

Chris actually had that song for over twenty years, but he was “scared” of it, due to the high notes and head tones.

Funny to think that an incredible vocalist like Chris is scared to do anything with those golden vocal chords, but thankfully he got over that fear and gave us this and another great album to enjoy.

We don’t deserve Chris.

Post Malone Goes Country With Morgan Wallen and Hardy at the 2023 CMA Awards

In case you missed it…

Last night Morgan Wallen, HARDY, and Post Malone teamed up for a medley honoring the late, great Joe Diffie at the CMA Awards.

And you know what?

It was pretty damn cool.

Posty has some Country Chops!

I grew up listening to Joe Diffie, and 90’s Country music in general, and I was all for it.

I know there are some people who have no lives complaining on social media that “That’s NOT COUNTRY”.

Oh, get over yourself, and enjoy the damn music. If that’s what gets your goat, then consider yourself blessed.

Also, HARDY announced his “Hixtape Vol. 3” which whill feature Morgan Wallen and Post Malone, and it features the Joe Diffie covers.

Lainey Wilson Performs “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” at the 2023 CMA Awards

Dude.

Lainey Wilson.

That is all.

Check out her performace of her  song “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” at the 57Th Annual CMA Awards last night.

Dammnnnnn…

First off, I love this song. Possibly one of my favorites of hers.

Second of all, she’s an amazing human who deserves all of the good things.

All I can say is, “Goooo Lainey”!!!!

And the best part is, she’s just getting started.

Future legend right here!

Cody Johnson Performing “The Painter” at the 2023 CMA Awards

I’m watching the 57th Annual CMA Awards on ABC just now, and I was already looking forward to Cody Johnson taking the stage. Well, this performance solidified why I am such a fan.

I’m ugly crying over here.


Hot damn. You can tell he loves his wife.

Guys, take note on how to make your woman feel special.

I mean, maybe you can’t do it on this scale but still….

 

That being said, I have a massive cold right now, and my husband brought home Fireball Whiskey and Apple Cider to help make it better without me asking for it. He just knew.

Maybe it’s not a painting of me while he’s performing at the CMAs, but still… it’s something.

Here’s to love, and Mucinex and Fireball.

 

That really should be a Country song in itself.

Queen and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders “Fat Bottomed Girls”!

Queen and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders?

You KNOW I am here for ALL of it.

I LOVE Queen, and for some reason, I have a minor (not creepy) obsession with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. I was addicted to their show “Making the Team” on CMT, and I’m still salty that it got dropped after 16 seasons. RUDE.

Anyhow, last week in Dallas, Queen took the stage at the American Airline Center and was joined by the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders!!!

Eeeeee!!!!

How cool was that.

Yes, I know it happened 4 years ago as well, but nevertheless, I’m still giddy.

And I LOVE Adam Lambert on vocals, and I still have a crush on Brian May.

Also, I still want to be a DCC.  Some dreams never die.

 

Carrie Underwood Pays Tribute to George Michael

Carrie Underwood never fails at a live performance.

Especially when it’s honoring one of her heroes, the late George Michael.

On Friday night, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony was held, and George Michael was recieving a posthumous honor of being one of this year’s inductees. Carrie Underwood has always been a fan, and had in several interviews mentioned that George was her dream collab.  So, in a way, that dream got realized Friday night when Carrie honored him with a version of his song “One More Try”, and she just nailed it, as always.


Dayummmm, girl…

Such an incredible talent.

Also, I need her leg workout routine. I really need to start hitting the gym again…

A few other notable performances from Friday night’s ceremoney:

Willie Nelson and Chris Stapleton:

Sheryl Crow and Olivia Rodrigo:

Missy Elliot!!!


Those are just a few of the performances, and I can’t wait to see them on the actual broadcast! That will be airing on Jan 1st on ABC.

Olivia Rodrigo “Can’t Catch Me Now”

Ooooohhhh… this song came out today, and I am LOVING it!

Pop Star Olivia Rodrigo just out out her song “Can’t Catch Me Now” off the new “Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” and wowza. It’s creepily, hauntingly fantastic!

Take a listen:

To me, a good song is one that presents itself with a visual in your mind when you hear it, and this one did just that the first time I listened.

Also, she wrote the song, which just proves her prowess as a songwriter.

The full soundtrack comes out the same day as the movie- November 17th.  I can’t wait to hear more!

Seriously, though. Props to Olivia for this one. It just made me love her as an artist that much more.
