Are These The Saddest Songs in Country Music?

One of the big Country Music-centric websites Theboot.com just released a list of the “Saddest Songs in Country Music”… like any list that’s not research-based, it’s totally debatable.

 

Let’s see what you think!

 

1.  “Go Rest High on That Mountain” by Vince Gill

2.  “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” by Willie Nelson

3.  “I’m So Lonely I Could Cry” by Hank Williams

4.  “The Grand Tour” by George Jones

 

5.  “Summer’s End” by John Prine

6.  “D-I-V-O-R-C-E” by Tammy Wynette

7.  “Elephant” by Jason Isbell

8.  “Crazy” by Patsy Cline

9.  “Concrete Angel” by Martina McBride

10.  “I’m Not Gonna Miss You” by Glen Campbell

Check out the full list at https://theboot.com/ixp/204/p/happiest-saddest-songs-country-music/

Pretty solid list, but it’s also blasphemy that “Whiskey Lullaby” by Brad Paisley and Allison Krause didn’t rate in the Top 10. Or… what about Garth Brooks “The Dance”? Or Miranda Lambert’s “Tin Man” to name a few???

That’s NOT ok…

 

What is your go-to sad Country song?

Benson Boone and Brian May Perform “Bohemian Rhapsody” at Coachella

Ok, I LOVE Queen- one of my favorite bands of all-time- and I adore Benson Boone. He is one of the most talented and unique newer artists out there, and worlds collided last night at Coachella.

After Brian May teased a potential collab yesterday on instagram, he joined Benson onstage for one hell of a version of Queen’s iconic “Bohemian Rhapsody” with a full choir. It’s pretty freaking great:

Dang.

 

Ok, we all know that there will never be another Freddie Mercury, but Benson Boone still sang the hell out of the song, and did one heck of a great tribute.

Also, Brian May is life. Is it weird that I have always had a crush on him?

Also, if you’re like ,”Who the heck is Benson Boone”?

This guy:

Yeah, he’ll be around for a while.

Good.

Ernest Featuring Snoop Dogg “Gettin’ Gone”

Well, this was fun.

One of my favorite newer Country artists on the scene ERNEST has teamed up with legend that is Snoop Dogg for a fun tune called “Gettin’ Gone”, and it’s so going to be on my Summer playlist:

How cool is that? Perfect Summer road trip song.

Honestly, a little dash of Snoop Dogg makes everything more fun…

If you’re not familiar with the awesomeness that is ERNEST, educate yourself at https://ernestofficial.com/ and be on the lookout for his next project “The Cadillac Sessions” on May 9th.

Carrie Underwood Joins Papa Roach Onstage for “Last Resort”

Carrie Underwood is your All-American girl next year, just with an incredible set of pipes (and legs)! She usually stays in the Country and Gospel lane, but every now and again, Carrie puts on her rock girl panties and it’s always glorious.

She’s toured with Guns N’ Roses before (talk about legit, right?), and recently joined Papa Roach onstage for a version of “Last Resort”, and she owns it:


Dammit, woman, is there anything she can’t sing?

She also performed the single that she has out with Papa Roach called “Leave a Light On”, and all proceeds from this song go to suicide prevention:

If you weren’t aware of this song, here’s the actual recorded version:

Badass, and for a great cause.

Honestly, a Carrie Underwood rock covers album wouldn’t be a bad idea, am I right?

Let’s make this happen, ok?

Lynyrd Skynyrd and Jelly Roll “Tuesday’s Gone” Live

Ok, I was totally loving this.

One of my all-time favorite Southern Rock bands- Lynyrd Skynyrd- teamed up with Jelly Roll for a pretty solid rendition of “Tuesday’s Gone” as a part of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s upcoming album “Celebrating 50 Years-Live at The Ryman”.

Now, “Tuesday’s Gone” is one of my absolute favorite songs of all time, and this was, in my opinion, a pretty cool performance of it:


This song hits me deep in my soul every time.

One of my core memories is being 21, front row at a Skynyrd concert at Skullbone Music Park in Skullbone, TN.

June 4th, 2004.

Me and my best friend Erica singing this song at the top of our lungs in the pouring rain…

It doesn’t get better than that.

“Celebrating 50 Years- Live at the Ryman” will be available on June 27th, and I can’t wait for the rest!

More info here:https://lynyrdskynyrd.com/

Mad respect to this band for keeping is going for so long, and still delivering!

Lainey Wilson “Bell Bottoms Up”

Well, this made me all kinds of happy.

Lainey Wilson- one of my favorite artists right now- dropped a new Country banger called “Bell Bottoms Up”. It’s the theme song to her new bar in downtown Nashville by the same name, it’s as fun and Country as she is!


Aw, I love it! So much fun.

I’m so happy for Lainey Wilson and all of her wildfire success these past few years.

Girlfriend has earned it.

She’s on the road and doing all kinds of fun things in 2025.

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Ed Sheeran “Azizam”

What makes Friday EVEN better?

New Ed Sheeran!

The Pop Superstar just dropped the first track off of his upcoming album “Play”, and it’s super fun and catchy.

Check out “Azizam”:


Well, that was fun! Ed said that he wanted to create a dance/party song that had Irish and Persian folk music influences, and he definitely delivered.

“Azizam” means “my dear” or “my darling” in Farsi, and I am loving the creativity and the different cultural influences that Ed put into the song.

“Azizam” is off of Ed Sheeran’s upcoming album “Play”, which will be out sometime this year, as will the official music video for “Azizam”.

One of my favorite things about Ed Sheeran is not only his incredible scope of talent, but the fact that he can pretty much do any kind of music, and you never know what he will come out with next.

Stay tuned for more!!!

Miley Cyrus “Something Beautiful”

 

This is NOT an April Fool’s Joke:

Miley Cyrus just dropped the title track off of her upcoming album “Something Beautiful” today, and hot damn, it’s really, really good.

It’s very sultry, unique, and totally Miley:


Soulful and rockin’ at the same time.

I love it.

 

Ok, real talk: I wasn’t a Miley fan for a long time, but she has really risen above all the controversy, and has totally proven herself as a true artist and vocalist, and is now one of my favorites.

Also, how awesome does she look these days?

This song is getting me pretty jazzed for her new album “Something Beautiful”, which comes out May 16th.

Morgan Wallen on “Saturday Night Live”

Morgan Wallen is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars in music right now.

Not just in Country, but ALL the genres.

He recently announced his upcoming 37-track album “I’m the Problem”, which comes out May 16th, and of course, he’s starting to make the promotional rounds.

First stop?

“Saturday Night Live”.

Now, you may remember that Morgan was slated to perform on SNL in 2020, but they cancelled his performance because he was making out with girls at a bar, and not “being responsible” with COVID 19 protocol.

It was a little overblown if you ask me, but whatever.

Anyhow, he they invited him back on the show, and all was well.

He performed again last night, and did two of his songs off of his upcoming album, and I have to say, Morgan always delivers live.

Here’s his latest single “I’m the Problem”:


Pretty solid, right?

And his second song he performed is “Just in Case”:

Oh, and apparently, he stormed off stage at the end of the show and bailed.

A bit later, he made a post on his instagram stories of his private jet and the caption, “Get me to God’s Country”:

Can you blame him?

Maybe he didn’t want to hang with the SNL crowd.

I get it.

Could he have been less obvious? Probably.

But who knows how he was treated on set? Or maybe he had to pee.

Either way, Morgan is no stranger to controversy, and let’s be real, it has done nothing to hurt his career.

On the flipside, I feel like it’s made it even bigger.

Again, Morgan’s new album “I’m the Problem” drops May 16th, and I’m betting it’s going to be the biggest selling album of the year, and he’s hitting the road this year with an all-star line-up, and you can get the dates at http://MorganWallen.com
