The NEW ESPN College GameDay Theme Song

College Football Season is HERE!!!!

Can I get an AMEN?

Which basically means Fall is here, and I’m beyond ready.

A few weeks ago, it was announced that Big & Rich would no longer be singing ESPN College Gameday’s opening song “Comin’ to Your City”- which was the theme for 16 years. Well, the replacement theme song has just been released, and it’s basically an updated version of “Comin’ to Your City” with The Cadillac Three, Lainey Wilson, and Darius Rucker, and it’s perfect.

Also, I just love Lainey Wilson.

Here’s the OG version by Big & Rich:

So, basically, just a super fun, freshened up version. I’m here for it!

ESPN College Gameday starts at 11:30AM ET tomorrow, and Darius Rucker will be the guest picker for the “Battle of the Carolinas” matchup.

Fall is here, ya’ll!!!!

Well, not technically, but College football and hunting season (Dove) started yesterday, so that’s good enough for me!

Zach Bryan Feat. Kacey Musgraves “I Remember Everything”

Zach Bryan just released his long-awaited self-titled album yesterday, and this collab with the always-incredible Kacey Musgraves is on it called “I Remember Everything” and I’m just over here like, “Woah”.

Gotta love a good tortured Country love song, right?

Zach and Kacey knocked it out of the park as far as I’m concerned.

Can we have more of this in Country Music?

You know, like actual real Country?

I have to say, I’m liking where things are headed with artists like this…

Miley Cyrus “Used to Be Young”

Miley Cyrus is on FIRE!

She kicked off the year with killer album and a smash single “Flowers” which you can’t get away from, and now she released another sure hit “Used to Be Young”.

Anyone whoever lived it up a little (or a lot!) in the past can relate.

So good, right?

Lyrically on point, catchy, emotional, and totally Miley.Ā  It’s something she lived through (we ALL remember) and she came out better, and has no regrets. And she got one hell of a song out of it.

The song resonates with me big time, as I had a party bone in my early twenties, and people still bring up those crazy times. To be fair, I never partied to Miley’s level, but I did enjoy Jager and Jack shots and making bad decisions and waking up thinking “shiiit, who do I need to apologize to” way too often.Ā  Looking back, I wasn’t perfect, but I was young and silly and thankfully grew out of it pretty quickly. Do I have any major regrets? Nah. But I do have some “cringe” moments, as most people do.

Which is why I think this song is so awesome. Most of have been there, and have stories to tell.

Thank God social media wasn’t a thing in my early twenties.

Also, Miley is turning into one hell of an artist, and I’m proud as heck of her.

Also, I’m still fun… if you count a glass of wine and in bed before 10 fun.

Ashley McBryde “Maybe It Was Memphis”

You know I love me some 90’s Country, and one of my staples of the decade is Pam Tillis’s “Maybe it Was Memphis”. Of course, hailing from West Tennessee, and working radio in Memphis and meeting my husband there makes the song all the more special to me.Ā  So, when I saw that one of my favorite Country artists Ashley McBryde covered it during “CMT’s Summer Sessions”, I had to give it a listen.

Holy Macaroni, it’s good.

I mean, HOT DAMN!

Just wanted to share that nugget with you in case you had missed it.

Also, Ashley’s new album “Devil I Know” comes out September 8th!

Dolly Parton Featuring Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr ā€œLet it Beā€

As youā€™re probably aware of by now, Dolly Parton has a Rock album coming out this Fall called ā€œRock Starā€ featuring covers of Rock classics (with a TON of star-studded collabs) and some originals as well. The past few months, Dolly has been periodically dropping songs off the album to get us ready for the release, and her latest is a cover of the iconic ā€œLet it Beā€ by The Beatles, and features non other than Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.

Howā€™s THAT for star power?

 

Ahhh, chilllssssā€¦

I seriously cannot wait for this album, which only Dolly could pull off!

November 17th canā€™t be here quickly enough!

Carly Pearce “Country Music Made Me Do It”

The women of Country Music are really killing it these days… and at the forefront of the movement is Carly Pearce. With her pure Country voice and sound, she has been a refreshing change on the radio these past few years, and her star keeps on rising.

She just released a new single “Country Music Made Me Do It”, and yep, another winner.

I’m so happy with the crop of women in Country music lately… Carly, Lainey Wilson, Ashley McBryde, Kelsea Ballerini, Priscilla Block, Hailey Whitters, and Miranda and Carrie, of course! It’s kind of reminding me of the 90’s when women had a huge presence on Country radio. I’m SO glad that is resurging again.

Carly is hitting the road this year on her “Country Music Made Me Do It” tour, and then joining up with Tim McGraw for his “Standing Room Only Tour” next year.

Cody Johnson “The Painter”

Ahhhh! I am SO excited for this!

Cody Johnson just released his new single “The Painter”- he’s been teasing it for a few weeks now, and it’s just as good as I had hoped it would be.

A perfect Country love song. Great lyrics, music, and just overall a total YES!

I can see this being a big wedding song this next year.

I’m so happy that we have artists like Cody Johnson doing big things in the industry. It was so needed.

Cody has a new DOUBLE (yay!) album called “Leather” out this Fall.

In case you didn’t realize, Cody is the real deal.

Here’s a clip of him getting hung up while Bull Riding a while back.

Yep. CoJo is pretty damn legit.Ā  I’m so glad he’s killing it on the Country Music scene. We need him.

Kelly Clarkson Covering Lainey Wilson’s “Heart Like a Truck”

Kelly Clarkson is currently doing her “Chemistry” Las Vegas Residency, and she’s popping a few suprises into every show, like her recent cover of Lainey Wilson’s “Heart Like a Truck”.

Of course, she nailed it and then some.

Here’s another view:

Dammmnnn, girl.

Ok, can we get a Lainey/Kelly Collab now?

Honestly, though, Kelly is one of the best damn vocalists of our generation.

I don’t think anyone can argue that!

Carrie Underwood ROCKS!

There really is no end to Carrie Underwood’s talents.

She got to open up for Guns N’ Roses over the weekend in Canada over the past weekend, and naturally, she added some Rock covers into her setlist and she pretty much killed it on everything from Motorhead to Led Zeppelin.

Check it out!

Motorhead: “Ace of Spades”

Led Zeppelin “Rock and Roll”

Joan Jett “Bad Reputation”

Pat Benetar “Hit Me With Your Best Shot”

Rolling Stones “Wild Horses”

Not too shabby, right?

It’s just fun to see this side of Carrie- who usually gives major Country Barbie Vibes- and see her let loose and get her rock on.Ā  She can totally handle it vocally and performance wise.

As a Rock and Country fan, color me impressed!

Honestly, I prefer this side of Carrie, as opposed to a lot of her Country music of late.

Can we get a Rock album next?

I’d so be down.

Or at least a Carrie/Axl collab on a song.

Come on, universe. Make it happen!

Lainey Wilson and Deana Carter “Watermelon Moonshine”

If you’re a Country music fan, you’re propbably well aware of the fact that Lainey Wilson has one of the biggest Country songs of the Summer with “Watermelon Moonshine”, which from the first time I heard it, I was like, “Strawberry Wine” much?

 

Clearly, I’m not the only one who noticed the similarities… Deana Carter herself (the artist behind the masterpeice that is “Strawberry Wine”) just covered Lainey on TikTok and Lainey stitched for a duet.

@laineywilson

#duet with @DeanaCarterOfficial #songswap #watermelonmoonshine #songofthesummer ā¤ļø????

ā™¬ original sound – DeanaCarterOfficial

I don’t know why seeing this made my Country girl heart happy, but it totally did.

Can we get a collab in real life, pretty please?
