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:
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.
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 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.
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.
Last night was the 77th Annual Emmy Awards, and for the “In Memoriam” segment, Vince Gill and Lainey Wilson performed a stunning version of the hit “Go Rest High On That Mountain”.
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.
