Lainey Wilson Performing “Amazing Grace” for the 9/11 25th Anniversary Tribute.

This past Friday was the 25th anniversary of the attacks on 9/11.

Still hard to wrap my mind around the fact that it has been that long.

To honor and remember those who we lost on that terrible day, there was no shortage of beautiful tributes.

My personal favorite so far?

Country megastar Lainey Wilson’s performance of “Amazing Grace” for the ABC and the 9/11 Memorial & Museums’ “Tribute in Light”.

Just, wow.


Absolutely stunning.

Lainey’s voice is so pure and truly Country, and she did a beautiful job. I love that she didn’t try to overdo it, as so many vocalists seem to do.

This performance isn’t about showing off, after all, but about paying tribute to our country and those who lost their lives and loved ones 25 years ago.

If you’d like to see the tribute in it’s entirety, you can now stream “9/11 Tribute in Light” on Disney + and Hulu.

God Bless America.

“American Idol” Contestant Bryson Quick Puts a Country Spin on Pink Floyd’s “Time”

Ok, I admit it.

I’ve kind of, sort of started watching “American Idol” again.

My husband and I watched it religiously for years, then kind of got bored with it, so we moved on.

Well, now my three-year-old son is obsessed, and so we keep it on, as he gets super excited anytime someone sings.

This performance got my attention last night… a high school student named Bryson Quick auditioned with a really cool Country take on Pink Floyd’s classic “Time”:

Pretty damn cool…

As a Country and Classic Rock fan, I can definitely appreciate that.

And yes, “American Idol” is staged as hell… but there is some great talent that comes from the show, and I’m really loving Carrie Underwood as a judge this year.

Catch Season 7,467 (or whatever we’re on now) on Sunday and Monday nights on ABC.

Guess I’ll drink the Kool-Aid for my kid’s sake!

Ashley McBryde and Gretchen Wilson Perform “Redneck Woman” at CMA Fest 2024

CMA Fest was held in Nashville earlier this month in Nashville.

Have you been before?

It’s one of the biggest parties in Nashville, to be sure, and is chock full of fantastic performances.

So much so, that ABC has a CMA Fest Special every Summer, and I think this year’s was one of the best.

First off, the hosts, Jelly Roll and Ashley McBryde, did a GREAT job. Usually the hosts can be awkward and stilted, but they both did a great job and kept the show going. And one of the performances that I was looking forward to was Ashley McBryde with Gretchen Wilson. I feel like Ashley could be Gretchen’s younger sister, right?

Of course, they performed Gretchen’s massive hit “Redneck Woman”, and it was awesome:


That needed to happen, right?

Also, there were a LOT of really good performances featured last night, and the “CMA Fest 2024” is now streaming on HULU.

Give it a wtch when you get the chance!
