Glam Metal Version of “Rhinestone Cowboy”

Ok, in instances like this, I am totally down for AI.

A creator called “Dafaq Was That?” just put out a version of Glen Campbell’s “Rhinestone Cowboy” in a glam metal style.

You ready?


You have to admit, that was pretty damn cool.

Of course, I love both Classic Country and Glam Metal, so, of course you know I’m down.

I’ll be rocking out to this all week.

Morgan Wallen “20 Cigarettes” Music Video

Morgan Wallen just released his new single “20 Cigarettes” to Country Radio, and just released a pretty cool video to go along with it:


Yes, Morgan smoked all 20 cigarettes for the video. I’m sure his lungs are so happy just now.

Also, why are his songs so damn catchy?

Not exactly the most brilliant writing, but the hooks and the content… it does resonate with me, being a small-town girl from West Tennessee.

Who hasn’t had a few beer bottles looking ash trays before?

Morgan Wallen is still riding high off of the mega-success of his latest album “I’m the Problem”, and is teasing some things for 2026.

Do I smell another tour?

Stay tuned…

Was Chris Young Wasted on Stage?

Hey, it happens to the best of us.

Chris Young- one of my favorite voices in Country Music- most likely had a few too many prior to taking the stage at “Boots in the Park” in Tucson, AZ over the weekend.

A couple of videos have gone viral on Tik Tok of his performances, and… yeah. Definitely not the live caliber that I expected:

@scdowdy87 When you pay over a hundred dollars to see @Chris Young and he’s drunkedy drunk drunk. WOW #bootsinthepark #tornupcountry #ChrisYoungRuinedMyBirthday@Boots In The Park ♬ original sound – SCDOWDY


And another…

@phebeflagstaffrealtor #bootsinthepark #chrisyoung ♬ original sound – Phebe

Jeepers.

It’s been reported that people were leaving the show early, and I totally get why. Fans are accusing him of being way too drunk to perform, and a few are saying that it’s sound issues.

Honestly, sounds more like a few too many tequila shots to me.

Chris Young has yet to address the issue.

I honestly can’t judge, as when I used to sing in cover bands in Memphis in my early twenties, I have had a few boozy performances myself. I’m just glad social media wasn’t a big thing at the time, and that smartphones didn’t exist.

 

Thank you Baby Jesus for that.

 

Then again, people weren’t shelling out mega-bucks to see me perform. And there was never a cover… so it IS a little different.

I feel like if your fans are paying to see you perform, keep it together for that hour/hour and-a-half that you’re on stage.

Hopefully this is a one-off for Chris, and that he keeps the Whisky shots till after the show.

 

Still… one of my favorite voices for sure… and I hope this is just a bad night.

It happens!

Morgan Wallen “I Got Better” Music Video

Morgan Wallen just released the music video for his latest single “I Got Better”, and I have a feeling the ladies will be all about it…

Someone has been hitting the gym, am I right?

I think the appeal of Morgan Wallen as a sex symbol is that he looks like your average guy. Seriously, he looks like he could be my husband’s cousin or something.

Also, his latest album “I’m the Problem” is by far the biggest-selling album of 2025 so far. The only person who can beat him is Taylor Swift- who drops her new album “The Life of a Showgirl” on Friday.

It’ll be fun to see who ends up winning the sales battle. It’s going to be close.

 

Ella Langley “Wish I Didn’t Know Now”

Ella Langley is quickly becoming one of the best new Country artists on the Nashville scene, and this version she just released of the Toby Keith classic “Wish I Didn’t Know Now” proves why she’s here:

Oh damn girl…

I’ve always loved this song (90’s Toby Keith was IT), and Ella made it her own, and seriously, this should just go on and be a radio single.

HARDY “Dog Years”

Country/Rock star HARDY just released a tearjerker of a Country song called “Dog Years”, written from the perspective of a beloved rescue dog at the end of his life.

HARDY had written this song over a decade ago as a tribute to his beloved dog, and it just proves once again his songwriting skills:

Are you crying? You should be.

As a dog mom, who has once lost her best friend, and who now has a 10-year-old rescue coming into his twilight years, this hits hard.

What I love about HARDY, aside from the fact that he can bounce back and forth to Country to Rock seamlessly, is his songwriting ability.

He had me crying halfway through this song, which is the mark of a great writer.

It’s the emotion, people!

 

“Dog Years” is off of HARDY’s upcoming album, “Country! Country!” which drops this upcoming Friday, September 26th.

Well done, son!

Lakelin Lemmings “Parking Lot”

Ok, this makes my heart beyond happy.

Up-and-coming Country artist Lakelin Lemmings- who just happens to be from my hometown of Henderson, TN, just released a new single, and… it’s perfect.

Even better? The music video takes place in my Alma Mater Chester County High School’s parking lot!

This song totally nails small-town teenage life on the head.

Check it out!

Ok, LOVE the song. Her voice is fantastic, expressive, and has that true Country sound. The production (and the video!) are great as well.

Growing up in Henderson, TN and hoping to move back when my husband retires, this gives me all the feels.

The parking lot was where it was at 25 years ago when I was in high school, and I’m happy to see that some things never change.

I remember driving my parents’ Chevy Dually blaring Kid Rock’s “Devil Without a Cause”  Dr. Dre, and Britney Spears, and always taking 2 spaces to park.

Living all over the country as an Army wife and radio personality, I can honestly tell you that there truly is no place like home.

I can’t wait to see where Lakelin Lemmings goes.

Girlfriend has it.

I’m in your corner, girl!

Lainey Wilson’s Nashville Home Tour

Country Star Lainey Wilson just gave a tour of her Nashville home to Architectual Digest, and it’s just as cool as she is!

Enjoy:


Pretty cool, right?

Maybe I’ll win the lottery tomorrow night (it’s at 1.3 Billion dollars) and jazz up my place a bit.

Or hire a decorator to do it, as I’m lazy.

A girl can dream, right?

 

Post Malone Covers the Eagles

Post Malone is really impressing me lately.

I remember hearing that he was going Country and thinking “Oh Lord, really?”

But I feel like he’s really proving himself in the genre, and totally leaning into the Nashville lifestyle.

He’s now getting attention for an impromptu version of The Eagles “Take it Easy”, and it’s pretty damn solid.

@postmaloneDirty Dave on the keys

♬ take it easy – Slay

Pretty damn good.

My only complaint is that it’s only 13 seconds long.

Can we get more pleaseeee?

Also, I like him better without his signature autotune.

Also, Post Malone is working on his 2nd Country album, and he’s saying it will be along the more traditional Country route.

Fingers crossed!
