Jelly Roll and Kelly Clarkson “I Am Not Ok”

 

This is SO good!

Jelly Roll was on the “Kelly Clarkson Show” earlier today, and they performed his latest hit on Country Radio “I Am Not Ok” together with Kelly on the back-up vocals, and it just took it to a whole new level.

Seriously, though. Kelly just makes everything EVEN better.

Her voice is just on a whole different plane than most humans.

Also, Jelly Roll has a new album out featuring the song you just heard and 22 other songs. It’s called, “Beautifully Broken”, and came out last week.

I still have chill bumps from that performance, how about you?

Tim McGraw “People Like Us”

Tim McGraw just released a new song which I feel is very important to what most of America is going through today.

As a divided nation, this couldn’t have come at a better time, which I’m guessing is why he released it just now.

Check out “People Like Us”:

Look, I’m not going to get into politics… I just think if we be kinder to each other and try to understand where the other is coming from, we could make way more headway as a nation, regardless of how we vote.

We, once again, are more divided than ever as a nation, and it’s depressing.

I don’t stand with either party… I’m just sitting here, with my glass of wine, wondering how we got here, for the millionth time.

Did we not learn anything?

Clearly not.

 

Just a reminder that “together we stand, divided we fall”, and to not be a dillweed.

We are all humans, just trying to get by.

That being said, don’t be a jackwagon, ok?

 

 

 

Dwight Yoakam and Post Malone “I Don’t Know How to Say Goodbye” (Bang Bang Boom Boom)

I’ve been waiting on this for a minute…

Dwight Yoakam has teamed up with Post Malone for a collab called “I Don’t Know How to Say Goodbye”, and the official music video just dropped today, and it’s everything I hoped it would be!

I love that Malin Aikerman and Nina Dobrev are in the video, and I love even more that Post Malone and Dwight Yoakam are riding horses down Sunset Boulevard.

Is it just me, or is Post Malone’s equitation better than Dwight’s?

I’m a horse girl, so I notice these things.

The single is off of Dwight Yoakam’s upcoming album “Brighter Days” due out November 15th.

Look, if Dwight is into Post Malone, I think that settles the argument of whether or not Post Malone belongs in Country.

Argument over.

Jamey Johnson “Someday When I’m Old”

Jamey Johnson is back, and it’s a damn beautiful thing.

If you remember, Jamey had a massive hit in the late 2000’s with “In Color” off of his album “That Lonesome Song”, and was pretty much everywhere for a minute.

Ok, I have to flex for a second- I got to meet him back in 2009 in Valdosta, GA, and I swear the guy doens’t smile, no matter how hard I tried to make it happen:

After the success of “That Lonesome Song”, Jamey kind of laid low for about a decade and some change, but now he’s back!

He’s with Warner Music Nashville and just dropped a new song called “When I’m Old” and it’s pure Jamey Johnson:


Now, that’s what I’m talking about.

I’m hoping that he has a new album coming, which would make sense, as he’s with a new label.

It’s been 14 years since he put out a solo album, and it’s about damn time.

Jamey is a true Country artist, and the industry needs more of this.

Fingers crossed on an album announcement soon!

Ella Langley “weren’t for the wind”

Ella Langely is one of the brightest new stars in Country Music, and after the success of her duet with Riley Green “You Look Like You Love Me”, she released a new single called “weren’t for the wind”, and it’s damn good.

I just love her sound.


Freaking good, right?

Country Music needs more of her.

I think she may be my new girl crush.

Ella will be releasing a deluxe version of her debut album “Still Hungover” on November 1st, and I feel like we will be hearing a lot more from her in the future.

Good.

Jelly Roll on “Saturday Night Live”!

Last night was the kickoff of the 50th Season of “Saturday Night Live” and Jelly Roll was the musical guest.

Dude is EVERYWHERE these days, and he is owning pretty much every performance.

Last night was no different, as he rocked his latest release to Rock radio “Liar” and a new song called “Winning Streak”:


Solid work.

Jelly Roll’s new album “Beautifully Broken” comes out October 11th, and you can get his tour dates at http://JellyRoll615.com

Brooks and Dunn and Lainey Wilson “Play Something Country”

Well, this was just necessary.

Brooks and Dunn AND Lainey Wilson together?

All the YES right there.

Back in 2019, Brooks and Dunn released their “Reboot” album, where they re-imagined some of their greatest hits with some of Country’s biggest stars. Well, they have another similar project in the works called “Reboot 2”, featuring everyone from Lainey Wilson to Morgan Wallen to rock band Halestorm.

You’re excited right?

Because you should be.

And, to get us ready, Brooks and Dunn and Lainey Wilson just dropped their version of “Play Something Country”, and of course, it totally works:


Yep, that checks out, for sure.

Brooks and Dunn’s “Reboot 2” album will be out November 15th, and you can get more info at https://www.brooks-dunn.com/

Cody Johnson and Carrie Underwood “I’m Gonna Love You”

Country Star Cody Johnson just released a collab with vocal powerhouse Carrie Underwood, and of course, it’s lovely.

The song is called “I’m Gonna Love You”, and it’s just a pure, simple love song:


I have a feeling tha this is going to be a wedding playlist staple…

My family has a wedding venue in West Tennessee called Cogan’s Farm – http://Cogansfarm.com– so check it out!

That’s why I always have weddings on the brain.

Ok, shameless plug aside, is the song anything gorundbreaking?

No. But it doesn’t have to be.

When you have two talents like Cody and Carrie, sometimes keeping it simple and letting the vocals and emotion shine is enough.

In addition, Cody Johnson announced the deluxe version of his latest album “Leather” featuring 13 new songs on November 1st. And in case you weren’t aware, Cody Johnson live is definitely something to see- get tour dates at https://apps.codyjohnsonmusic.com/leather/ and you can catch Carrie Underwood in Vegas with her “Reflections” residency: https://www.carrieunderwoodofficial.com/

Kelly Clarkson and Miranda Lambert Cover Chappell Roan!

The “Kelly Clarkson Show” is back on NBC for the 6th season, and Miranda Lambert was one of the guests this morning, and Kelly and Miranda did an acoustic version of the Chappell Roan smash “Good Luck Babe”, and it totally killed:


Ok, can we get a full-on recorded version of that?

Their voices mesh so well, and it’s just a cool take on that song.

In case you have been on another planet this Summer, here’s the OG:

 

There’s no official music video for the song, which is annoying. BUT this live version on Jimmy Fallon from this past Summer is almost as good:


Yeah, pretty sure Chappell Roan isn’t going anywhere for a while.

Also, I can’t wait for more great covers from Kelly Clarkson this season!

You know I’ll be sharing my favorites.

 

 

Sturgill Simpson Covers “Purple Rain”

Sturgill Simpson recently delivered one hell of a version of the iconic “Purple Rain” by the legendary Prince, and you know what? He nailed it.

I’m usually a bit suspicious of covers of such incredible songs like “Purple Rain”, but Sturgill’s Country spin on the classic gave it a whole new vibe, and I love it.

Check this out:


I was prepared to not love it, but here I am.

Also, kudos to Sturgill’s band, because they killed it.

Also, Sturgill looks uncannily like my husband, which is not a bad thing.
