The “Kelly Clarkson Show” is back on NBC for the 6th season, and Miranda Lambert was one of the guests this morning, and Kelly and Miranda did an acoustic version of the Chappell Roan smash “Good Luck Babe”, and it totally killed:
Ok, can we get a full-on recorded version of that?
Their voices mesh so well, and it’s just a cool take on that song.
In case you have been on another planet this Summer, here’s the OG:
There’s no official music video for the song, which is annoying. BUT this live version on Jimmy Fallon from this past Summer is almost as good:
Yeah, pretty sure Chappell Roan isn’t going anywhere for a while.
Also, I can’t wait for more great covers from Kelly Clarkson this season!
Shaboozey burst onto the Country Music scene earlier this year with his smash hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” which is STILL #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the biggest song of the year so far. Well, Shaboozey just released his next single to Country Radio, and I’m thinking he’s not gonna be just another one hit wonder. His new release “Highway” is so damn good!
Check it out below:
Here’s the lyrics:
“I see dead ends but we still going strong We been heading down a one-way street But it feel like it’s wrong Moving like a freight train getting tired of chugging along I’ve been tryna say goodbye But I’m gone miss you, girl, the second you gone
Gave me your heart, gave you heartbreak (I let you down) Sorry I’m lost in this dark place (I’ll fight it out) Somehow I’ll make it to Sunday I promise I’ll be coming back
I might die on the highway With all my regrets I’ve been driving for miles and miles and miles I can’t see where it ends I’ve been trying to find ways To tell you how I feel, yeah But I can’t tell you goodbye ‘Cause I know it’ll hurt if I let go of the wheel
Since you stop riding shotgun, I ain’t been myself Going out looking for a good time but I’m going through hell Got Jesus on the hotline saying, “You need help” Put the liquor on the shelf, tell the Devil, “Farewell”
You gave me your heart, gave you heartbreak (I let you down) Sorry I’m lost in this dark place (I’ll fight it out) Somehow I’ll make it to Sunday I promise I’ll be coming back
I might die on the highway With all my regrets I’ve been driving for miles and miles and miles I can’t see where it ends I’ve been trying to find ways To tell you how I feel, yeah But I can’t tell you goodbye ‘Cause I know it’ll hurt if I let go of the wheel
And I don’t want to go down this road by myself No, I don’t want to be the story That others tell
The guy who died on the highway With all his regrets He was driving for miles and miles and miles Couldn’t see where it ends He was tryna find ways To tell her how he feels But when he looked in her eyes He could tell she was hurt so he let go of the wheel.”
Pretty solid, am I right?
I really like his sound- he’s unique, but still staying in the “Country” lane.
I know there are some that are complaining about artsits like Shaboozey, Jelly Roll and Post Malone in Country, but those are the annoying people that basically think Country stopped at Hank Sr.
It hasn’t.
Country Music, like every other genre, has to grow and evolve to reflect the times.
I, for one, love the change and growth. There’s room for all of it.
Diversity is a good thing, people.
Kudos to Shaboozey for adding his flair to he airwaves in 2024.
Gwen Stefani just dropped a new song today called “Somebody Else’s” off her upcoming fifth studio album “Bouquet”, and it’s basically a diss track about her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale.
I mean, she didn’t exactly come out and specify, but come on… it totally is:
Sick burn.
It’s actually pretty catchy and fun, and I love the theme- after all, isn’t the opposite of love not hate, but indifference?
Also, with Gavin Rossdale’s history of infidelity, and now dating Gwen’s younger clone, he may kind of deserve it.
I honestly love her and Blake Shelton together. Hey, opposites attract, and there’s nothing wrong with the Country life. Maybe it’s refreshing for Gwen to live with a real person who would rather drive a tractor and go hunting than one who lives the rockstar lifestyle.
Who knows?
Anyhow, if you want more new Gwen, her album “Bouquet” comes out November 15th.
Although, what I really want is another No Doubt reunion.
Sturgill Simpson recently delivered one hell of a version of the iconic “Purple Rain” by the legendary Prince, and you know what? He nailed it.
I’m usually a bit suspicious of covers of such incredible songs like “Purple Rain”, but Sturgill’s Country spin on the classic gave it a whole new vibe, and I love it.
Check this out:
I was prepared to not love it, but here I am.
Also, kudos to Sturgill’s band, because they killed it.
Also, Sturgill looks uncannily like my husband, which is not a bad thing.
The Harvard Opportunes- the A Cappella group at, of course, Harvard is one of my favorite things this year.
I mean, yeah, it’s Harvard, so of course, the talent will be next level… these are some of the best vocalists in the country, and you’ll see what I mean after this recent Beyonce medley that they performed:
Woah. Seriously, I am so impressed.
I have always loved a cappella groups, as it’s really a special skill to be able to not only sing, but provide vocal instrumentation as well.
This past Friday, Miranda Lambert released her 10th studio album, and her first on her new label Republic Records called “Postcards From Texas”, and I feel like it’s one of her best works yet.
And that’s saying something, as Miranda consistently puts out great Country music, and has been for the past two decades.
Yep, it’s been that long.
One of the standout songs on “Postcards From Texas” is Miranda’s collab with fellow Country artist Parker McCollum on a track called “Santa Fe”.
I’m getting major George Strait vibes on this one:
Thank you, Miranda Lambert, for always delivering great Country music.
Just a simple, pure, perfect Country song.
Can we get more of this, please?
I’m so loving that the real, true Country sound has been making a comeback.
Also, get more info on Miranda’s new album, and upcoming tour dates at MirandaLambert.com
I’m just catching the highlights this morning, and one of the big moments apparently was Jelly Roll performing “I Am Not Okay” for the “In Memoriam” segment where those in the industry who passed away in the past year were honored.
Jelly Roll and the symphony accompanying him did a really great job:
In all, a very moving performance, but there are some that are questioning the song choice… since it’s a song about depression and suicidal thoughts.
Jelly Roll tried to explain the meaning at the beginning of the performance, but I kind of get why some people are like, “why THIS song to honor those who had passed”?
I’m assuming most of those being honored didn’t pass away due to self-harm… unless I’m missing something over here?
Some viewers were just as confused as I am:
Oh, and my favorite… because I thought the same thing when the VO guys presented Jelly Roll:
Yes, it was a great performance, and very moving… but also kind of a weird choice.
What do you think? Did the song choice make sense? Or totally miss the mark?
David Gilmour- of the iconic band Pink Floyd- crashed his daughter Romany’s London pub gig last week, and they performed a gorgeous version of Pink Floyd’s classic “Wish You Were Here::
Can you imagine your dad being David Gilmour. Like, whatttttt????
Romany Gilmour has clearly inherited some of her father’s stellar genes, and is a talented singer/songwriter herself. Check her out https://www.instagram.com/romanygilmour/
Also, Pink Floyd is life.
