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.
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.”
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:
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:
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 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.
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.
This time last year, the up and coming Country artist Zach Top was just breaking on to the scene, and what a year he has had.
He’s had two hits on the radio with “Sounds Like the Radio” and “I Never Lie” as well as opening up for some incredible acts on tour, like Dierks Bentley and Lainey Wilson.
This guy is the real deal, as proven by his cover of George Strait’s hit “Nobody in His Right Mind Would Have Left Her”- whcih was also recorded by the great Keith Whitley:
I know this video is a few months old, but it’s recent gaining traction as Zach Top’s star rises.
Again, the kiddo is the real deal, and I can’t wait to her what he has in store for us in 2025.
Check out his album “Cold Beer and Country Music” when you get the chance, and get info, tour dates, all that good stuff at https://zachtop.com/
