Sabrina Carpenter and Dolly Parton “Please, Please, Please”

Earlier this morning, Sabrina Carpenter dropped the deluxe version of her Grammy Award winning album “Short n’ Sweet”, and it features a remake of her hit song “Please, Please, Please” with none other than the ICONIC Dolly Parton on it!

And of course, it’s stinking adorable.

Aaaahhh! LOVE it!

And I love the reference to Sabrina’s ex- actor Barry Keoghan- at the end.

Perfect.

And in case you missed it, here’s Sabrina’s full 2025 Grammy Award performance. It finally got released to YouTube:

I freaking love her.

Again, her deluxe version of “Short n’ Sweet” is out now, and I highly suggest you check her out if you’re not up on how awesome she is!

Riley Green “Worst Way” Music Video

Is it hot in here?

Could be my hot flashes… or maybe it’s just this music video for Country star Riley Green’s new single “Worst Way”.

All I can say is… DAMN.

Yeah, Riley Green doesn’t work out or anything.

Also, is anyone getting major Spencer Dutton vibes from him? (Hello, “1923”!)

Either way, Riley is easily the sexiest man in Country Music right now.

Fight me.

You can also catch him on the road this year- get the dates at http://Rileygreen.com
Really, my only complaint about this video is that he tossed the wine before showing up.

Bad call.

 

Trey Lewis Interview

Viral Country Star Trey Lewis joined me on the show today, and I really enjoyed our chat.

In case you’re not aware, Trey Lewis is the artist behind the viral hit “Dicked Down in Dallas”… if you’ve not heard it, behold:

Oh, and it’s VERY NSFW.

Ok, it’s catchy. You know it is.

Messed up, but catchy. Hence why it became a mega-viral hit.

Anyhow, Trey will be at The Whiskey Baron in Colorado Springs Friday night, and he joined me today to talk about his show, and his inspiring story.

Take a listen:

Isn’t he awesome? Such an inspiring story, and great advice for anyone going through addiction.

Chatting With Clint Black!

Well, this was special.

Growing up on 90’s Country, I LOVE Clint Black.

Just an absolute legend.

So, to get to talk to him on my show, well, that’s pretty dang cool.

At least I think it is.

Check out the interview below!

Eeeeek! I just love him, and he made my week.

Clint Black is currently on his “Still Killin’ Time” tour, and you can get dates and info at http://clintblack.com

Carrie Underwood Performs “America The Beautiful” at the Presidential Inaugration FLAWLESSLY.

In case you’re under a rock or something of the like, you’re aware that today is President Donald Trump’s inaguration.

Look, I’m I’m not here to get into politics. I’m not right or left. I’m just an American. So, if you’re coming here to vent your frustrations, you came to the wrong place.

I love America, flaws and all, and will always do so no matter who is voted in as the leader.

I’m an Army wife, and I take pride in our country and know how good we have it, whether or not you approve of the Coomander-in-Chief.

That being said, Carrie Underwood was tapped to perform “America the Beautiful” at the ceremony, and despite technical issues and the backing track not playing, she immediately sang it A Cappella, and absolutely NAILED it.

Not that I’m surprised. Carrie Underwood is one of the most vocally talented singers out there, and is a total pro and class act.

My favorite part?

Everyone singing along.


Right, left, or in between… you have to admit that was impressive.

Carrie Underwood got so much flack for doing this, and I loved her public statement in response:

“I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event. I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”

YES to all of that.

America first, America always.

 

Luke Combs Debuts New Song Live in Auckland!

Luke Combs is currently on the road overseas with Jordan Davis, Mitchell Tenpenny and Lane Pittman, and they just did a stop in Auckland, New Zealand where Luke debuted a new song.

The song- which it seems is titled “Ain’t No Cowboy” – it’s a true heartbreak banger, which is what Luke does best:

@ogbunningssnag #lukecombs #jordandavis #lukecombstour #2025 #mitchelletenpenny ♬ original sound – OGBunningsSnag


Ok, Luke needs to release that, like, yesterday.

Hopefully this means new music from Luke Combs soon?

In the meantime, find out where he’s gonna be next at http://Lukecombs.com

 

 

 

Ernest SLAYS Cover of Kris Kristofferson’s “Help Me Make it Through the Night”

Damn.

One of my favorite newer Country artists- Ernest- dropped a rendition of the legendary Kris Kristofferson’s “Help Me Make it Through the Night” on instagram, and it’s pretty much perfection:

I feel like “Damn” is the only appropriate word right now.

In case you’re really behind on what’s hot on the Country Music scene, Ernest is one of the best up-and-coming artists on the scene, and he runs around with Morgan Wallen and HARDY, so you know he’s in the right crowd if you want to be a hitmaker.

But also, he’s just a really nice guy, as evidenced by our interview below:

LOVE his guy, and I think we’re just scratching the surface with what he can do.

“Wiggle Up, Giddy Up!”

The Wiggles have gone Country!

If you have kids, you know ALL about The Wiggles.

My 3-year old son is totally a fan, and I have to admit, they’re pretty dang good for what they do. I have caught myself many a time singing “Lazy Lion” and other jams from them.

Well, being a fan of Country music, and working in that industry, I have to say, I’m pretty jazzed to find out that The Wiggles have a legit Country album in the pipeline called “Wiggle Up, Giddy Up!” and here is the title track featuring the viral Country singer Dasha:


Ok, my kid was bouncing all over the place when I played this, and lets be real, he’s the target audience, so I think it’s a win.

Oh, and the album will also feature Dolly Parton, Lainey Wilson, Jackson Dean and more.

So, it’s no joke.

“Wiggle Up, Giddy Up” will be out March 7th, and real talk… I’m a little excited.

Morgan Wallen “Smile”

Well, this was a nice surprise this morning.

Morgan Wallen just dropped a new single called “Smile”, and I think it may be one of my favorites of his.

Written by Morgan, Ernest, Rocky Block, John Byron, Ryan Vojtezak and Luis Witkiewitz, I have a feeling this will be another #1 hit.

Because, like it or not, that’s all Morgan Wallen seems capable of producing these days.


Damn.

What I like about this song- aside from the sound and subject matter- is that it really shows of what a good vocalist Morgan is, which can sometimes be hidden with other hits like “Last Night” and “I Had Some Help”.

This definitely bodes well for more solid stuff in 2025.

And now this will be in my head all day, which isn’ a bad thing.

Have a Happy New Year!

Elle King “Banned From The Grand Ole Opry”

Remember earlier this year when Elle King got hammerfaced and performed at a Dolly Parton tribute at the Grand Ole Opry?

@kennybowman78 #dollyparton #elleking #grandoleopry ♬ original sound – Kenny B

Yeah, that was a moment for sure, and that, combined with her drunken New Years Eve performance had a lot of people wondering what the heck was going on…

Well, Elle King posted a new song to instagram this week seemingly addressing the incident.

It’s called “Banned From the Grand Ole Opry”, and it’s pretty good.

Now, did Elle actually get banned from the Opry?

Who knows? Maybe? Wouldn’t be the first time someone got kicked out of the circle.

Either way, it’s a fun song, and I really do like her voice and her style.

Wishing her all the best in 2025.
