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/
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/
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!
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.
This past Friday, Miranda Lambert released her 10th studio album, and her first on her new label Republic Records called “Postcards From Texas”, and I feel like it’s one of her best works yet.
And that’s saying something, as Miranda consistently puts out great Country music, and has been for the past two decades.
Yep, it’s been that long.
One of the standout songs on “Postcards From Texas” is Miranda’s collab with fellow Country artist Parker McCollum on a track called “Santa Fe”.
I’m getting major George Strait vibes on this one:
Thank you, Miranda Lambert, for always delivering great Country music.
Just a simple, pure, perfect Country song.
Can we get more of this, please?
I’m so loving that the real, true Country sound has been making a comeback.
Also, get more info on Miranda’s new album, and upcoming tour dates at MirandaLambert.com
She is one of the best in the business, and her 10th studio album “Postcards From Texas” proves why she has been a Country Music staple for 20 years.
Yes, it’s been 20 years since her breakout single “Kerosene” was released.
Feel old yet? You’re welcome.
Miranda Lambert’s latest album is basically a sonic roadtrip through her home state of Texas, and here are some of my favorites off of the album:
“Bitch on the Sauce”:
Oh, man. What woman hasn’t been there? I love it!
Miranda is really a master at getting lyrics just right to evoke whatever feeling she is trying to convey.
She teamed up with Jaren Johnston for this track, and they nailed it!
“Armadillo” :
And just like that, I want to get high with an Armadillo.
I think this might be one of my favorites on the album.
“Looking Back on Luckenbach”:
It’s the steel guitar for me on this one. Texas Honky Tonk Perfection right there!
Miranda wrote this with Shane McAnally and Natalie Hemby, so there was no way she would go wrong there.
And Miranda has a collab with Parker McCollum on the album as well, which is a nice treat.
“Santa Fe”:
Really, the entire album is fantastic, and I feel like it’s Miranda’s best yet. And that’s saying something, since she’s always put out great prejects.
I’ll be jamming out to this for a while.

Drinking on horseback with Miranda is still on my bucket list… not gonna lie.
The KING of Country Music released his 28th Studio album called “Cowboys and Dreamers” and of course, it’s pure Country Gold.
First off the title track- “Cowboys and Dreamers” is perfect:
BUT there’s also a collab with Chris Stapleton on there called “Honky Tonk Hall of Fame”, and really… you can’t go wrong when you combine those two:
“Honky Tonk Hall of Fame” reminds me of the early 80’s Country- just fun and rowdy- and again, add Chris Stapleton to the legend that is George Strait, and again- pure Country perfection!
Ella Langley is one of the ones to watch in Country Music, and this music video for her song with Riley Green “You Look Like You Love Me” will just solidify her in the industry.
First of all, I love the song- it’s pure Classic Country- and the video is perfect:
Does anyone alse think Riley Green needs to be a character on “Yellowstone”, or at least on a spinoff?
He’s totally giving off Spencer Dutton vibes.
“You Look Like You Love Me” is easily one of my favorite Country songs of the year so far, and I have a strong feeling you’ll hear a lot more from Ella Langley in the future.
Anyone else super happy that the Classic Country sound is making a comeback?
