Top Country Wedding Songs

It’s offically Wedding Season! According to TheKnot.com, a majority of weddings in Amercia happen between May and November.  My family owns a wedding venue in West Tennessee (look it up- Cogan’s Farm- it’s AMAZING!) and I help out as much as I can, so I always have a keen interest in pretty much everything wedding-related.

One of the biggest wedding traditions is the “First Dance”, and picking a song that reflects your relationship is kind of a big deal, right?

TasteofCountry.com just released a list of the Top Country Wedding Dance Songs, so here’s the Top 10, if you’re looking for some wedding dance inspo.

1.  “When You Say Nothing at All” by Alison Krauss

 

2.  “Die a Happy Man” by Thomas Rhett

 

3.  “In Case You Didn’t Know” by Brett Young

 

4.  “When I Said I Do” by Clint Black, with his wife Lisa Hartman Black

 

5.  “Amazed” by Lonestar

 

6.  “It’s Your Love” by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill

 

7.  “Bless the Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts

 

8.  “Then” by Brad Paisley

 

9.  “Could I Have This Dance” by Anne Murray.

 

10.  “I Believe in You” by Don Williams

 

Check out the full list here

 

And if you want to expand your genres outside of Country Music, here’s a pretty solid list from “Country Living” magazine.

Want to rock it out?  Here’s some great choices from Wedding Forward.

 

My husband and I said “I Do” sixteen years ago, and our first dance song was “Memory in the Making” by John Kilzer.

So, yeah, points for being unique!

 

What was your first dance song?

Or if you’re not married just yet, what would it be?

Bebe Rexha feat. Dolly Parton “Seasons”

Bebe Rexha just released her new album “Bebe” today, and it features a collaboration with the iconic Dolly Parton (who seems to be working with EVERYONE except Mick Jagger these days…), and you know what? It’s pretty good!

Check out “Seasons” below:

I really enjoyed that! I’m so used to Bebe’s over-produced pop songs which dominate Top 40 radio, so it was nice to hear a different side and really get to appreciate her vocals. They blend perfectly with Dolly’s legendary voice.

Also, that’s a lot of blonde and boobs in the video.

I don’t think anyone is mad at it.

Again, Bebe’s new album is out today, and I hope she puts out more songs like this!

“Part of Your World” From “The Little Mermaid”

There’s been a lot of controversy surrounding the remake of  Disney’s “The Little Mermaid”, mainly because Ariel is African-American (Who the heck cares? I mean, she’s a cartoon mermaid. Get over yourself) and now because the characters like “Flounder” and “Sebastian” look a little creepy as “live action” characters.  Seriously? This is what bothers people?

I guess I’m too busy having a life to get riled up by such trivial matters.

Anyhow, the remake of the Disney classic “Part of Your World” was just released, and holy smokeronies is it good!

Halle Bailey’s vocals are perfection, and that’s a huge part of the role. “Ariel” is known for her stunning voice (NOT for being Caucasian) and Halle just showed everyone why she was chosen for the role.

I absolutely loved this movie as a kid. As an adult, I’m just not a fan of the theme. Why, yes, change for your man!  And of course, Eric is into a hot chick who can’t talk. Isn’t that every man’s fantasy?

That being said, my main issue with the movie is Ariel wanting to be human. Girl, NO! Humans are nuts. Stay in the sea. Trust me on this!

But the little kid in me is totally here for the live-action remake.

Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” hits theaters May 26th.

Luke Grimes “Hold On”

Anyone else totally loving Luke Grimes’s new music?

At first when the “Yellowstone” actor (he portrays Kayce Dutton on the show) announced that he was going to try and become a Country singer, I admit, I rolled my eyes a little. Because what actor/actress doesn’t want to be a singer, and vice versa?

But I gave his first single, “No Horse to Ride” a listen, and was impressed.  And he just dropped this new song called “Hold On” and once again, it’s real Country music, and definitely has a cool sound to it.

Yep, another song that would totally fit with the “Yellowstone” soundtrack.

That is, if they ever freaking finish up Season 5! (What the hell, guys???)

In the meantime, Luke Grimes is popping out some great Country tunes, and I’m for sure looking forward to his debut album.

Stay tuned for more info!

New Foo Fighters!!!!!

I absolutlely LOVE the Foo Fighters, and have since I discovered them on MTV when I was 12.  Like most music fans, I was shocked and saddened by the loss of the iconic Taylor Hawkins last year, and the future of the Foos was a giant question mark, and rightfully so.

Well, Foo Fighters will press on with a new album “But Here We Are” which is slated for a June 2nd release.

Off of it, the lead single- and the first without Taylor (sigh) “Rescued”:

The Foos never, ever disappoint.  They always make fresh music, that still is essentially them.  They have said they will be a different band going forward without Taylor (obviously) but I love that they are staying strong, pressing on, and keeping Rock alive.

Mad respect.

 

Also, Dave Grohl for President!

Little Boy NAILS Morgan Wallen Song

Like him or not, Morgan Wallen is one of the hottest artists out there right now. And lets be real, his music is pretty freaking catchy. It’s ok. You can admit it.

Anyhow, this video has gone viral of a mullet-rocking little boy singing along to “Last Night” and he pretty much nailed it.

I always love videos of kids singing to their favorite songs. It reminds me of me when I was little and would put on full-on performances to Madonna and Paula Abdul.  Sadly (or maybe not!) social media and smart phones weren’t a thing back then.

Anyhow, love the kid’s vibe and his matching mullet with his dad.

I bet this will be my life in the next few years with Brandon, except without the mullets.

“BARBIE” Offical Movie Trailer

Like most basic blonde chicks, I love me some Barbie.  Did she give me unrealistic expectations in life? Sure.  But so did everything else I was into growing up.  So, of course, I was kind of curious when I saw there was a “Barbie” movie in the works with Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and Helen Mirren.  I mean, what a cast, right?

The trailer just dropped- get ready for pink overload.

Ok, it looks absolutely ridiculous, but I’m pretty sure that’s the point!

Would I go to theaters and watch it?

No.

But would I stream it on my couch with a bottle of wine?

Absofreakinglutely.

Look, life is bananas. A little fluff and sparkle always helps lighten things up for a minute.

“BARBIE” hits theaters on July 21st if you want to check it out!

Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute at CMT Music Awards

Last night my husband and I were watching the CMT Music Awards, and I ended up going to bed a little early. It was a long weekend, and I was just done.  While I was getting ready to fall asleep, my husband had to run upstairs and tell me that I missed a badass performance (Of course I did) featuring lots of legends doing a tribute to one of my favorite Classic Rock bands Lynyrd Skynyrd.  I had thought I missed it, but apparantly not!  So I had to look up the performance, and damn.

I mean, Slash, Billy Gibbons, Paul Rodgers, Cody Johnson, Warren Hayes, Chuck Levall,  Wynona Judd and LeeAnn Rimes?

Hell. Yes.

Having seen Skynyrd several times, and always enjoying the show they put on, this made my heart happy.

Also, Slash. And Cody Johnson. That’s all you really need right there.

Sadly, after the recent passing of Gary Rossington, there are no original surviving members of the band.  But their legend will live on.

There will always be someone yelling “Play Freebird” until the end of time, so there’s that.

Seriously, though, loved this!  Good call, CMT.

Rock and Country is ALWAYS a good mix!

Conner Smith Interview and New Single “Creek Will Rise”

Conner Smith is one of the hottest up-and- coming Country acts right now, and his new single “Creek Will Rise” came across my desk recently, so I gave it a listen, and I was immediately hooked!

I’m thinking “Song of the Summer” material for sure.

Plus, Conner was cool enough to call in and chat about the song and all he’s got going on in 2023, including a tour with Luke Bryan!

 

 

 

 

Seriously, I can’t wait to hear more from Conner, and I think he’s got one heck of a future ahead of him as a singer and songwriter.

Lukas Nelson Feat. Lainey Wilson “More Than Friends”

Lukas Nelson (Yes, one of Willie Nelson’s sons!) and his band “Promise of the Real”  just released a collab with Lainey Wilson, so of course, I had to check it out!

It’s called “More Than Friends” and it’s pretty damn catchy!

Lainey is like the perfect ingredient for any Country music song. Her voice and total vibe is perfection!

Also, Lukas Nelson and The Real have a new album “Sticks and Stones” out July 14th if you want more.
