Lainey Wilson “Somewhere Over Laredo” Official Music Video

Lainey Wilson’s new song “Somewhere Over Laredo” is one of my favorite Country songs right now… and the video that she just dropped for it?

A whole lot of YES.


Ok, I love that she rides a Palomino horse in the video (as I have one as well).

Also, that ball cap with the conchos she wore in the beginning?

NEED!!!

“Somewhere Over Laredo” is off of Lainey’s upcoming Deluxe version of her latest album “Whirlwind” which comes out on August 22nd.

 

In the meantime, Lainey’s whirlwind continues it’s upward trajectory, and you can see where she’s at next at http://LaineyWilson.com

Motley Crue Featuring Dolly Parton “Home Sweet Home”

Motley Crue have teamed up with Dolly Parton for a new version of their 1985 classic “Home Sweet Home”, because, well, why not?

I mean it’s Dolly.

Dolly still has it, ya’ll!

The remake is to promote Motley Crue’s career-spanning compilation album “From the Beginning” which comes out September 12th.

Megan Moroney “6 Months Later”

Megan Moroney is on fire!

She’s easily on of the hottest Country stars out there right now, and for a few weeks she has been teasing a song called “6 Months Later” on her socials, and she released it this morning.

Enjoy!

I love her sound, and her songwriting skills are on point.

Megan says she’s about “80 percent done” on her next album, and it’s safe to say it will be a hit.

Women are killing the game in Country Music, and I couldn’t be happier.

Ed Sheeran “Drive”

Ed Sheeran never misses.

He just dropped his new song “Drive” off of the upcoming “F-1” Movie soundtrack, and it’s freaking GOOD. Of course, you have John Mayer on guitar and Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters on the drums, so it’s kind of hard to mess that combo up.

Check it out:

Dave Grohl’s drums are always a win.

I have a feeling the movie will be, as well. “F-1” stars Brad Pitt, and is expected to be one of the big Summer blockbusters this year.

“F-1” and the soundtrack both come out next Friday, June 27th.

Vroooom!

Kelly Clarkson “Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover”

Again, this woman can sing ANYTHING.

Kelly Clarkson covered Sophie B. Hawkins’s hit “Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover” and, naturally, she killed it.

Enjoy:


I love that she put a bit of a rock spin on this song… seriously, is there anything she can’t sing?

I really want to hear cover Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters”.

Let’s make this happen!

Zach Top “Good Times and Tan Lines”

Alan Jackson, that you?

Zach Top- one of the most promising up-and coming Country artists that actually sounds like (gasp!) Country- just dropped the official Summer Country banger.

It’s called “Good Times and Tan Lines” and it’s almost a carbon copy of Alan Jackson’s 90’s Summer Smash “Chattahoochie” and that’s not a bad thing.

Enjoy:

Such a fun song, and again, total Alan Jackson vibes, and that’s ok.

Country music needs more of this.

Zach Top’s new album “Ain’t In it For My Health” drops August 29th.

Oh, and last year, I had the chance to interview Zach right before he blew up, and he’s an absolute doll.

I am so happy for all of his success… well deserved!

Rascal Flatts and Carly Pearce “My Wish”

Every Friday, new music for the week drops.

I’ve been digging through it, and I have to say, this Rascal Flatts/Carly Pearce collab on Rascal Flatts 2006 hit “My Wish” is really, really good.

I’ll be honest, I haven’t been a huge Rascal Flatts fan- except for some of their earlier stuff, but this version of “My Wish” got my attention:


I love me some Carly Pearce, and damn, Gary LeVox can sing like crazy.  Hence why he changed his last name from Vernon to “LeVox” which means “The Voice” in Old French.

Well, that’s subtle.

Anyhow, out of all the new music that came out this past Friday, this was the song that caught my attention.

Rascal Flatts “Life is a Highway: Refueled Duets” is out now.

Luke Combs Covering Teddy Swims “Lose Control”

I love a good cover, and Country Super Star Luke Combs definitely delivered on his take on the massive Teddy Swims hit “Lose Control”.

Check it out below:


Dammnnnn sonnnnn…

Is there anything this man can’t sing?

Those vocal riffs are fire.

Can we have an actual recorded version of this song? Or… better yet… a collab with Teddy Swims?

Universe, make it happen.

The Greatest Power Ballads in Rock History

Who doesn’t like a good Power Ballad?

Ultimateclassicrock.com just ranked the “50 Greatest Power Ballads in Rock History”, and here’s their Top 10:

1.  “Purple Rain”, Prince (1984)

 

 

 

2.  “Alone”, Heart (1987)

 

 

 

3.  “November Rain”, Guns N’ Roses (1991)

 

 

 

4.  “Don’t Stop Believin'”, Journey (1981)

 

 

 

5.  “I Want to Know What Love Is”, Foreigner (1984)

 

 

 

6.  “Home Sweet Home”, Motley Crue (1985)

 

 

 

7.  “Dream On”, Aerosmith (1973)

9.  “Sister Christian”, Night Ranger (1983)

 

 

 

10.  “Heaven”, Bryan Adams (1983)

 

Pretty solid Top 10, right?

However, “Nothing Else Matter” by Metallica only ranking #50 is totally suspect, as is Bon Jovi’s “Never Say Goodbye” and Cinderella’s “Nobody’s Fool” not being on the list.

I mean, what the Hell, Mel?

“California Dreamin” Meets Lil’ Wayne’s “Lollipop”

One of my favorite creators- “There I Ruined It” just dropped another banger.

No?

Well, here you go anyway.

It’s something to behold:

A true masterpiece for the ages.
