I freaking LOVE Halestorm and Lzzy Hale, and Ashley McBryde is one of my favorites on the Country scene right now, so when I saw that they just collabed on a re-imgained version of “Terrible Things” I was here for it.
And yes, it’s hauntingly perfect.
The song is spot on for our world just now (sadly) and the vocals are glorious.
Can we get more of this, please?

Now that I’m a mom, I find a whole new world of things hilarious that I never would have understood before. So, I was pretty stoked to chat with Comedians Selina Ringel and Kaela Crawford of the Amazon Prime Comedy Special “2 Mom’s One Mic”. All my momma friends will appreciate this!
Aren’t they fun? Love them!!!

Jelly Roll has surprisingly become one of the hottest acts in Country music lately, and it’s well-deserved!
Let’s be honest, no one looks at Jelly Roll and says, “yo, that dude’s COUNTRY”. But thankfully, Country isn’t just about the look. It’s about the music and the stories and life behind it, and Jelly Roll has one of the best stories to tell. His song “Save Me” was already great, but add Lainey Wilson to it? Freaking stellar.
And they performed it on the “American Idol” finale last night with Oliver Steele, and crushed it.
It’s just such a good song with incredible vocals, and a theme that, sadly, many can relate to. Also, with it being “Mental Health Awareness Month” it’s definitely one I want to share.
By the way, Jelly Roll’s first full-length Country album “WHITSITT CHAPEL” comes out June 2nd.

Jason Aldean just put out a new single, “Try That in a Small Town”, and I have a feeling it’s his next #1 hit. Because it’s Jason Aldean, and no matter how generic a song is, if he sings it, it’s an automatic #1 at Country Radio (he and Luke Bryan have this in common), and also, because the content speaks to a majority of the Country demographic. Having grown up in a small town (Henderson, TN- look it up, ya’ll), it spoke to me as well. My husband and I both hail from small West Tennessee towns, and this song is spot on. And honestly? It’s not a bad thing. Life truly is different in the Country, and I really can’t wait to return one day. Don’t get me wrong, it’s been great to live in all kinds of parts of the US, and experience different ways to live, but small-town life on the farm will always be where my heart lies.
And good luck taking anyone’s guns in a small town. Especially my husband’s!
Yep, small town life truly is different, and again, not a bad thing. A lot of my “City Friends” hate on the lifestyle, but until you have truly lived it and experienced it, don’t judge, ok?
Except for mudding. I still can’t figure out why people think that’s fun?

Being a child of the 80’s and growing up in the MTV era – you know, back when they had music videos? Good times- I was more than happy to chat with the iconic Boy George of Culture Club this week!

Have I mentioned that I love the Foo Fighters? Maybe a thousand times?
Well, they just dropped a new song called “Under You” and it is a perfect tribute to the late Taylor Hawkins.
Sentimental, lyrically on-point, and with the signature Foo sound that has made the band a staple for decades.
“Someone said I’ll never see your face again
Part of me just can’t believe it’s true
Pictures of us sharing songs and cigarettes
This is how I’ll always picture you”
Those lyrics just hit hard.
The Foo Fighters will release their new album- their first studio effort without Taylor- on June 2nd.
Bittersweet for sure, but I’m happy they are continuing as a band, and using music to heal.
After all, it’s the best medicine there is!

The 2023 ACM Awards were last night in Texas, and as per usual, the live performances did NOT disappoint!
(Also, I enjoyed watching it on Prime- way less commercials, and it only took a couple of hours, which is perfect for my short attention span)
Here’s one of my favorite performances of the night:
Ed Sheeran and Luke Combs “Life Goes On”
Ed and Luke together?
YASSSSSSSS. So much talent on that stage.
And Ed did say this week that he would love to transition to Country music, so we shall see…
Here’s the rcorded version that just dropped this morning:
So, soooo good.
I’m totally down for Ed on Country radio.
What do you think?

Dolly Parton is LIFE.
She just released her first single off of her upcoming “Rockstar” album called “World on Fire”, and you know what? It’s a banger.
No, really, it is.
Damnnnn, Dolly. Way to hit the nail on the head with every lyric in that song!
Can she run for President? Please?
Earlier this week, Dolly announced the track listing and the 40 collaborators on her “Rockstar” album, and it’s got me pretty dang excited.
“Rockstar” Track List:
YES to ALL of it!!!
Dolly’s new album drops November 17th, and I can’t wait to hear more!

It’s offically Wedding Season! According to TheKnot.com, a majority of weddings in Amercia happen between May and November. My family owns a wedding venue in West Tennessee (look it up- Cogan’s Farm- it’s AMAZING!) and I help out as much as I can, so I always have a keen interest in pretty much everything wedding-related.
One of the biggest wedding traditions is the “First Dance”, and picking a song that reflects your relationship is kind of a big deal, right?
TasteofCountry.com just released a list of the Top Country Wedding Dance Songs, so here’s the Top 10, if you’re looking for some wedding dance inspo.
1. “When You Say Nothing at All” by Alison Krauss
2. “Die a Happy Man” by Thomas Rhett
3. “In Case You Didn’t Know” by Brett Young
4. “When I Said I Do” by Clint Black, with his wife Lisa Hartman Black
5. “Amazed” by Lonestar
6. “It’s Your Love” by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill
7. “Bless the Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts
8. “Then” by Brad Paisley

Check out the full list here
And if you want to expand your genres outside of Country Music, here’s a pretty solid list from “Country Living” magazine.
Want to rock it out? Here’s some great choices from Wedding Forward.
My husband and I said “I Do” sixteen years ago, and our first dance song was “Memory in the Making” by John Kilzer.
So, yeah, points for being unique!
What was your first dance song?
Or if you’re not married just yet, what would it be?

Bebe Rexha just released her new album “Bebe” today, and it features a collaboration with the iconic Dolly Parton (who seems to be working with EVERYONE except Mick Jagger these days…), and you know what? It’s pretty good!
Check out “Seasons” below:
I really enjoyed that! I’m so used to Bebe’s over-produced pop songs which dominate Top 40 radio, so it was nice to hear a different side and really get to appreciate her vocals. They blend perfectly with Dolly’s legendary voice.
Also, that’s a lot of blonde and boobs in the video.
I don’t think anyone is mad at it.
Again, Bebe’s new album is out today, and I hope she puts out more songs like this!
