Kelly Daniels “The Farrier”

A couple of weeks ago, I had the chance to chat with Country artist Kelly Daniels when he came to town, and he played a song for me called “The Farrier” which was about to drop.

Of course, being a horse girl, I was all ears when I heard that title, and when he played it live, I was NOT disappointed:


For those who don’t know what a farrier is (bless your sweet little hearts) it’s someone who shoes horses, as well as takes care of their hooves.  An “Equine Manicurist” if you will.

The song is based on a true story when Kelly was playing a rodeo, and met a farrier who was hot shoeing a horse, and they got to talking and had a heart-to-heart, and that’s how that song came about.

Pretty cool, right?

Also, here’s my genuine reaction after hearing this song for the first time:

Ahhhh.. this made my heart so happy. Also, the song was released on my birthday, so that makes it extra special, right?

I just wanted to share this song and artist with you, as I think they are worth a listen.

More info on Kelly Daniels at Instagram(8) Facebook, and at Kellydanielsmusic.com

Also, Kelly Daniels’ EP – also called “The Farrier” is out now, so add it to your playlist!

 

Ozzy Osbourne Full Grammy Tribute

This past Sunday night it was the 2026 Grammy Awards, and it was… The Grammys.

Lots of politics, bad red carpet fashion, save for a few, some meh performances, some weird ones (hello, Justin Bieber) and then there are always a few gems amongst the strangeness that is The Grammys.

The Ozzy Osbourne tribute was by far the best part of the night.

Post Malone, Duff McKagan, Slash, Chad Smith, and Andrew Watt.

They did one hell of a job in my opinion.

Enjoy:


Can we have more of this at The Grammy’s please?

More entertainment, and less “WTF did I just watch?” moments.

That’s all I want.

Sincerely,

A Music Lover

Ella Langley “Dandelion”

2026 is Ella Langley’s YEAR.

Earlier this week, Ella announced her sophomore album “Dandelion”, and just released the title track today, and I’m obsessed.

I’ve already played it about a dozen times.

Definitely one of those “Love at first listen” songs:


Absolutely love it.

And damn, do I relate to it!

Ella Langley has it all. Sexy unique voice, mad writing skills, relatable and a total knock-out.

She’s just getting started…

Ella’s new album “Dandelion” drops April 10th, and she’ll be opening for Morgan Wallen this year on his “Still the Problem” tour.

HARDY, Morgan Wallen, Eric Church and Tim McGraw “McArthur”

Dude.

This song is something else.

HARDY, Morgan Wallen, Eric Church and Tim McGraw teamed up for a song called “McArthur”, and it’s as good as I had hoped it would be.


“When you pass on, what you gonna pass down?”

Anyone else getting “Highwayman” vibes from this?

Something we should all be asking ourselves, always.

We need more of this in Country Music.

That being said, I have a feeling that this year is going to be another BIG year for Country.

Buckle up, buttercup!

Budweiser Superbowl Ad 2026 “American Icons”

It doesn’t get any more America than this.

Budweiser just released their 2026 Super Bowl ad and it’s got me all in the feels.

It’s called “American Icons” and involves a baby Clydesdale and an Eagle, because what else do you really need?

Yeah, definitely something in my eye as well.

Say what you will about Budweiser, they know how to deliver a damn good commercial.

Then again, anything with horses in it… I’m in!

Zach Top SLAYS the “National Anthem”

Now THIS is how it’s done…

Country Star Zach Top- who I absolutely adore- sang the “National Anthem” prior to the NFC Championship Game last night.

The Seahawks won, and so did Zach Top with his rendition.

Damn, son.

He just did that beautifully.

Zach Top is here to save Country Music.

Definitely one of the best “National Anthems” in recent times.

Can we get more Country Music in the NFL? Please?

Dolly Parton “Light of a Blue Clear Morning”

What a combination!

Dolly Parton has re-recorded her song “Light of a Blue Clear Morning” with Reba, Lainey Wilson, Miley Cyrus and Queen Latifah.

Dolly did this project to celebrate her 80th birthday, which is Monday, the 19th. And the best part? All proceeds go towards pediatric cancer research.

I honestly can’t think of a better cause.

Loveee!

How about Miley Cyrus, though? That woman continues to impress me more and more every time I hear her.

Again, all proceeds go to the pediatric cancer research at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville.
Add it to your playlist, and do some good!

 

Dolly for president, ya’ll!

Megan Moroney “Wish I Didn’t”

Megan Moroney is on fire lately, and she’s owning it.

Megan just released a new song off of her upcoming album “Cloud 9” called “Wish I Didn’t”- and fans are wondering who it’s about.

Morgan Wallen? Riley Green?

Either way, the song is super cute and sassy, and I’m loving the video.

Funny that the guy in the video is like a Riley Green/Morgan Wallen hybrid, right???

Whoever it’s about, Megan Moroney knows how to market herself.

“Wish I Didn’t” is off of her “Cloud 9” album, which comes out February 20th.

Megan is also hitting the road this year on an arena tour to support the album- get dates at http://MeganMoroney.com

Brandon Lake and Cody Johnson “When a Cowboy Prays”

This has been a great week for new music.

One collab that I have been really excited about is Christian artist Brandon Lake and Country star Cody Johnson teaming up for “When a Cowboy Prays”.

This song is perfect:

Dang.

That is really good.

Then again, I knew it would be.

We need more of this going into 2026.

 

Jason and Brittany Aldean “Easier Gone”

Jason Aldean just dropped three new songs off of his upcoming album “Songs About Us”, and one of them is a duet with his wife Brittany.

Fans have been asking for a duet from the couple for years, as Brittany is a pretty solid singer herself, and they finally gave in.

Check out “Easier Gone” below:

Not too shabby…

Did you know that Brittany was once a contestant on “American Idol” prior to meeting Jason?


There’s your fun fact for your Friday.

Jason Aldean’s new album “Songs About Us” comes out April 24th.

Get ready- it’s going to be another BIG year for Country Music!
