Carrie Underwood brought down the house over the weekend in Honolulu! She’s getting a lot of attention for her cover of the massive Journey hit “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which is incredibly hard to pull off, because, well, Steve Perry. He’s easily one of the best vocalists to ever vocal. Carrie and her golden pipes did one heck of a job, though! Enjoy:
Damnnnnn…
I’ll be completely honest, I don’t love all of Carrie’s music that she puts out- I firmly believe that her ealry releases were her best- but when it comes to pure vocal talent, well, it’s hard to beat those pipes.
The mark of true talent is how they perform live. Carrie effortlessly knocks out those high notes without any trouble at ALL.
I used to sing in an 80’s Cover Band, and had the blind ambition to sing “Don’t Stop Believin'”.
It was maybe OK at best. My talent level is just a tiny portion of what Carrie’s is. Which is why she does what she does, and why I talk about it.
BUT… I can do splits while singing “Pour Some Sugar On Me” and not miss a beat.
Miranda Lambert performed a new song of hers live for the first time ever in concert over the weekend- it’s called “Alimony” and it’s the PERFECT divorce song, and so perfectly Miranda:
First off, how great is she live?
Secondly, how fun is that song? Kind of a spicy twist on divorse. Of course, after her husband was seen grinding on some bachelorettes at Miranda’s Nashville bar recently, some thing this song is her answer to his behavior.
I don’t think so… because he’d be the one getting alimony, not Miranda.
Either way, super fun song, and it’s got me even more hyped for her upcoming album on Republic Records!
Post Malone is gearing up for the release of his upcoming Country album “F-1 Trillion” and did a live show in Nashville earlier this week at Marathon Music Works. He debuted several new songs, including “Yours”, which he wrote about his 2-year-old daughter getting married one day, and how he will feel if that happens.
As a mother, this basically slays my heart:
Oh, my heart!
You will be hearing this at ALL the weddings for the next couple of decades.
Seriously, I am so impressed with Post Malone and how he’s moving into Country music.
I absolutely cannot wait for his album “F-1 Trillion”, which drops August 16th. He will, of course, have a tour to follow, and you can get those dates at http://Postmalone.com

I, for one, really like Jelly Roll’s music. I know there are some haters out there, but I like what he’s putting out, and it’s relatable to so many.

Carly Pearce has sent her new single to Country radio, and it’s a good, old-fashioned revenge song.
Her new single off her latest album “hummingbird” which came out last month is called “Truck on Fire”, and it’s a departure from what she’s had on Country radio lately. Instead of sad, emotonal songs like her collab with Chris Stapleton “We Don’t Talk Anymore” and her Grammy winning duet with Ashley McBryde “Never Wanted to be That Girl”, Carly ready to get into arson with “Truck on Fire” which is about, well, setting a cheater’s truck on fire. Because, why not?
It’s like the sequel to Carrie Underwood’s 2005 hit “Before He Cheats”. Like, forgetting keying the truck and hitting it with a baseball bat, just light the whole thing up.
That’ll show him.
Although, he probably has insurance…
Personally, I would go after something irreplaceable and sentimental, like his hunting trophies, but that’s just me.
If my husband pulls any dirty tricks, I’m going for the deer heads and turkey beards.
In case you missed it this past 4th of July, Zach Bryan- one of the hottest Country artists on the scene right now- dropped a new album “The Great American Bar Scene”, and there are some predictably great songs on there.
One that is getting a lot of attention is the collab with John Mayer called “Better Days”, and the behind-the-scenes video just came out a few minutes ago.
[Chorus: Zach Bryan & John Mayer, Zach Bryan]
So don’t get hateful, Lord, hot damn There’s a fire burnin’ in the back forty I’m still findin’ out who the hell I am
And I’m so tired of wastin’ it away Gonna find the time to realize
I’m in deep on better days
[Verse 3: Zach Bryan & John Mayer]
She always told me there’d be times like this
With a blue guitar, a city bar and a streetlight kiss
But I’ve never known quite what I deserve
You try so hard and wind up gettin’ burned
Solid stuff right there…
Zach Bryan makes emo Country that I want to drink beer and reminisce to.
“The Great American Bar Scene” is out now, and Zach is tearing up the road right now on his “Quittin’ Time” tour, and you can get those dates at https://www.zachbryan.com/tour
I didn’t think it was possible, but I love Lainey Wilson even more after this video!
Lainey released the music video for her latest hit “Hang Tight Honey” today, and it’s pretty dang cool.
I love the 60’s vibe that it starts out with, and her band being heaviy featured as well.
Check it out below:
Seriously, how fun is that?
Hang tight honey, Lainey isn’t going anywhere. I kind of feel like she’s just getting started.
Good.
Check out her new album “Whirlwind” which drops August 23rd, and she is all over the place this year on the road- hence the inspiration for the song- and you can get her dates at http://LaineyWilson.com
