Shaboozey “Highway”

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 strongWe been heading down a one-way streetBut it feel like it’s wrongMoving like a freight train getting tired of chugging alongI’ve been tryna say goodbyeBut 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 SundayI promise I’ll be coming back
I might die on the highwayWith all my regretsI’ve been driving for miles and miles and milesI can’t see where it endsI’ve been trying to find waysTo tell you how I feel, yeahBut 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 myselfGoing out looking for a good time but I’m going through hellGot 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 SundayI promise I’ll be coming back
I might die on the highwayWith all my regretsI’ve been driving for miles and miles and milesI can’t see where it endsI’ve been trying to find waysTo tell you how I feel, yeahBut 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 myselfNo, I don’t want to be the storyThat others tell
The guy who died on the highwayWith all his regretsHe was driving for miles and miles and milesCouldn’t see where it endsHe was tryna find waysTo tell her how he feelsBut when he looked in her eyesHe 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 “Somebody Else’s”

Dannnggg…

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.

Is that so much to ask?

Sturgill Simpson Covers “Purple Rain”

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 “Beyonce Medley”

Sheesh.

Talk about talent!

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.

The Harvard Opportunes have my heart.

Miranda Lambert Feat. Parker McCollum “Santa Fe”

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.

Jelly Roll Performs “I Am Not Okay” at The Emmy Awards

Did you watch the Emmy Awards last night?

Yeah, me neither.

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 and Daughter Romany Perform “Wish You Were Here”

This was really cool to see.

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::

A post shared by David Gilmour (@davidgilmour)

How cool was that, though?

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.

There will never be another band like them.

Miranda Lambert “Bitch on The Sauce”

Miranda Lambert never, ever disappoints.

She is one of the best in the business, and her 10th studio album “Postcards From Texas” proves why she has been a Country Music staple for 20 years.

Yes, it’s been 20 years since her breakout single “Kerosene” was released.

Feel old yet? You’re welcome.

Miranda Lambert’s latest album is basically a sonic roadtrip through her home state of Texas, and here are some of my favorites off of the album:

 

“Bitch on the Sauce”:

Oh, man. What woman hasn’t been there? I love it!

Miranda is really a master at getting lyrics just right to evoke whatever feeling she is trying to convey.

She teamed up with Jaren Johnston for this track, and they nailed it!

 

“Armadillo” :

And just like that, I want to get high with an Armadillo.

I think this might be one of my favorites on the album.

 

“Looking Back on Luckenbach”:


It’s the steel guitar for me on this one. Texas Honky Tonk Perfection right there!

Miranda wrote this with Shane McAnally and Natalie Hemby, so there was no way she would go wrong there.

 

And Miranda has a collab with Parker McCollum on the album as well, which is a nice treat.

“Santa Fe”:

Really, the entire album is fantastic, and I feel like it’s Miranda’s best yet. And that’s saying something, since she’s always put out great prejects.

I’ll be jamming out to this for a while.

Drinking on horseback with Miranda is still on my bucket list… not gonna lie.

Kate Hudson “Voices Carry” Official Music Video

Earlier this year, Kate Hudson crossed over into the music industry, and while I wasn’t overly impressed by her debut original material, I was impressed by her talent.

Kate Hudson has a really good, strong voice, as well as a great stage presence, as evidenced by her cover of Til’ Tuesday’s “Voices Carry”, which she just released the offical video for:

I think she did a great job on that song, and let me tell you, as a former half-assed cover band singer, that song is NOT an easy one to do. Amy Mann is an incredible vocalist, and pulling off this song is no easy feat.

Just in case you were wondering how she could handle it live, wonder no more:


Damn. Get it, woman!

Honestly, I’d love for her to put out a covers album of 80’s/90’s hits.

I think she’d do a bang up job on something like that.

In the meantime, you can check out Kate’s debut album “Glorious” out now.

“Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story” Trailer

Football season is here, which means Fall is coming, then the holidays… and with that, you get all the super cheesy Hallmark and Lifetome Holiday movies.

I am betraying my gender, and admiting that I absolutely cannot stand those cheesy movies- holidays or any other time- I just can’t.

However, I may have to make an exception on November 30th with the Kansas City Chiefs themed Hallmark movie called “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story”.

The first trailer just dropped this week to coincide with the NFL Season kickoff and Chiefs Home Opener, naturally:

Ok, so the trailer doesn’t reveal much, except there is some kind of relationship, football, and Donna Kelce.

Oh, and it’s set in Kansas City, one of my favorite places ever, so there’s that.

Having spent a pretty solid portion of my life in Kansas and in the Kansas City area, I’m all for anything that has to do with that glorious part of the country.

Oh, and the Chiefs are special to my heart due to my time in KC, so… I might have to suck it up and watch this. I’ll just drink more wine to make it easier on me.

“Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story” debuts November 30th on The Hallmark Channel.

 

Oh, and not to be outdone… there’s apparantly a Lifetime Holiday movie in the works called “Christmas in the Spotlight” inspired by Taylor Swift and Travis Kelces’ very public relationship.

I’m not even kidding though.

Here’s more about that:https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-lifetime-christmas-movie-1235993437/

 

Might have to switch to Whiskey to get through that one…
