Travis Denning's New Single is the Perfect Summer Country Jam!
In , #

Travis Denning “Strawberry Wine and a Cheap Six Pack”

So, last weekend I saw Travis Denning live at Boot Barn Hall, and got to hang with him before the show. He’s really one of the coolest, most down to Earth guys you could meet, and he told me he was dropping a new single this morning. He asked me if I wanted to hear it, and of course I did! I mean, duh.

I fell in love with it in the first few beats. It’s called “Strawberry Wine and a Cheap Six Pack” and it’s the perfect Summer Country song!

It’s one of those songs that immediately takes me back to 2002.  Summer, beer, riding backroads and frat boys in baseball caps.  Bad decisions and great memories. Wait… that in itself could be a good Country song title, am I right?

 

Also, Morgan Wallen dropped his new album (36 songs. Woah!) today, and Travis co-wrote Track 5 on it called “Devil Don’t Know”.

Here it is being performed live last week:

Travis puts on one hell of a live show- check out this mash-up!

Yeah, I’m fangirling a bit. But I’ve been a fan since “David Ashley Parker From Powder Springs” and after last week’s show and a drink with Travis, I’m even more of a fan.

Metallica “If Darkness Had a Son”

I’ve been posting a lot of Country stuff lately, so here’s one for all of my rockers.

Metallica just dropped a new single this morning, and of course it will rock your face.

Presenting… “If Darkness Had a Son”:

Damnnnnn… I enjoyed all 7+ minutes of that!  I was feeding my baby when I listened to it for the first time on my phone this morning, and he was all about it, too.

Raising the kid right.

 

Metallica’s new album “72 Seasons” is out April 14th, and let’s just say it’s promising.

Luke Combs “Joe”

Luke Combs is on FIRE!

Yes, I know I share a lot of his music, but there’s good reason for that.

He’s got a new album coming out on March 24th called “Gettin’ Old” and he keeps releasing fan favorites that will be on the album. And he does NOT disappoint.  His new single “Joe” deals with addiction and overcoming substance abuse, and the daily struggle that so many people can relate to.

True Country Music right here.

It’s such a well-written song on a topic that so many deal with on a daily basis.  Luke has admitted that Country music is full of drinking and partying songs, but there are not many songs out there for those who are on the other end of the spectrum.  I think it’s great that Luke is shining a light on such a difficult topic, and in a genre full of “Let’s get drunk in my truck” songs, it’s good to hear another side of the story.

Luke is quickly becoming one of the most respected artists in Modern Country, and it’s not hard to see why.

 

I can’t wait for his new album! Again, March 24th is when you can check it out.

William Clark Green Interview

If you’re into Texas and Red Dirt Country, (If not, you totally should be!) you’ve heard of William Clark Green.  He’s a fantastic artist and songwriter, and really, one hell of a nice guy. It’s always a pleasure to catch up with him, and find out what’s going on in his world.

Here’s his latest single currently charting on Texas Country Radio- “Anymore”:

I encourage you to check out his entire catalogue, and be on the lookout for more WCG in the future!

And just in case you haven’t heard this gem from him…it’s one of my favorites!

Dolly Parton and Olivia Newton-John “Jolene”

When I heard that Dolly Parton had recorded a duet with Olivia Newton-John covering her iconic “Jolene”, I immediately had to look it up and take a listen.

Ommggggg… weekend = MADE!

This duet is a part of Dolly’s upcoming Rock album which will featured collabs with everyone from Stevie Nicks to Steven Tyler to Steve Perry.

Needless to say, I’m just a little bit excited for it.

 

Once again, DOLLY FOR PRESIDENT!

Pink and Chris Stapleton “Just Say I’m Sorry”

Pink just dropped her new album “Trustfall” today, and I’ve been waiting for this collab since I was made aware of it a few weeks ago.  Pink has teamed up once again with Chris Stapleton for a song called “Just Say I’m Sorry”, and damn… their voices just go so well together.

It’s such a simple, pretty song with a great message.  So often in relationships we feel like being right is more important than anything, and for some reason, apologizing and realizing our mistakes and the effect they have on others is really, really hard.

That being said, being able to overcome that and genuinely apologize and fix whats wrong has been what has kept my marriage of almost 16 years going smoothly. We can both apologize, and that’s so incredibly important.

Anyhow, back to the song, if you put Chris Stapleton on anything, it will be amazing.  It’s just a scientific fact at this point.

I have also heard that he and Miranda Lambert and George Strait are planning collabs as well.  The sonic universe is looking out for us!

Kelly Clarkson Covering Hank Jr’s “Family Tradition”

Kelly Clarkson is easily one of the best vocalists of our time, something she continues to prove on the daily with her “Kellyoke” segments on her show “The Kelly Clarkson Show”.

One of her latest cover song triumphs? Her version of Hank Williams Jr’s classic tune “Family Tradition”:

Dudeeee, she gave that song a whole new life!

 

I remember it being a karaoke staple when I was in my bar-hopping phase, but I have never heard it like this.

Can she just full-on crossover to Country now? I wouldn’t be mad at it.

Megan Moroney “I’m Not Pretty”

Megan Moroney got a lot of attention in the Country Music community recently with her song “Tennessee Orange”, which, let’s be honest, it’s perfect.  Anyone who is a college football fan can releate.  Well, she’s not wasting any time putting out new music (good!) and her new single “I’m Not Pretty” is catchy as hell.

How cute (and true!) is this?  It’s got a really fun and catchy sound, and in the age of social media, you know you have stalked your significant other’s ex or have been stalked yourself.  It’s a factual reflection on today’s society, and how catty women can be. You KNOW it’s true.

I think Megan might be here to stay.

 

Plus, we share a name and she spells it right, so bonus points to her!

Luke Combs “Love You Anyway” (Acoustic)

Let’s just be real here: Luke Combs is one of the best people to happen to Country Music.  He’s releasing a new song tomorrow called “Love You Anyway” (a fan favorite) and he just put out the acoustic version, and I’m calling it right now… this is going to be THE love song of 2023.

I’m going to go ahead and say that this is one of my favorites of his. So beautifully written, and I’m loving all the imagery in the song.  Well done, Luke!  This will be on his upcoming album “Gettin’ Old” which comes out on March 24th.

Get ready, you’ll be hearing this one at all the weddings.

Bon Jovi Joins the Billion Views Club on Youtube!

Congrats to Bon Jovi by wrapping up the month with an honor that very few artists seem to achieve: The Billion View Club on YouTube!

(I wonder if they get a t-shirt or a sticker or something?)

Their signature song “Living on a Prayer” is the latest video to get that honor.

Wanna see it? Relive your glory days? Or just want a reminder of how badass the 80’s were?

Here ya go.

Sigh.

Can we bring feathered hair and fringed leather jackets back?

I’d be the first in line.
