Morgan Wallen- in case you missed it- has gifted us with another teaser… this time for a song called “Good to See You Smile”, and I’m thinking it could be one of his best yet:
The Oak Ridge Boys massive hit “Elvira” – one of my forever favorites-came out in 1981, two years before the launch of The Nashville Network, the first country music cable television network. The song never had an accompanying video. Until now.
The video clip features the band surrounded by some famous friends (includingTrace Adkins, Kid Rock, Lorrie Morgan, The Gatlin Brothers, Ray Stevens and Big & Rich) performing the song. Filmed in October at John Rich’s Redneck Riviera bar on Nashville’s Lower Broadway, it was 50-year Oaks member Joe Bonsall’s last video before his July 9 death at age 76.
I don’t know about you, but I’m getting real excited about the upcoming Post Malone Country album “F-1 Trillion”, which comes out next Friday, August 16th.
Posty just put up a teaser to the latest collab- one with Tim McGraw called “Wrong Ones”, and it’s totally giving a “Real Good Man” vibe.
Jelly Roll just keeps putting out the hits, and his new single “Liar” is sure to keep that train a rolling.
Fans have been waiting for this release since he performed it at the Grand Ole Opry earlier this year, and the full single is sure to be another hit:
What I like about Jelly Roll is his relatablity and honesty, which comes through in his songwriting. All of us have been in a situation like he describes in “Liar”, be it addiction, an abusive relationship, or just simple self-loathing.
This song is standing up to whatever demons haunt you.
I honestly really like his music, and to those who are hating on Jelly being in Country Music, I ask why? Isn’t what makes Country Music special is the storytelling and relatability?
Jelly Roll has that on lock.
This song will be on Jelly Roll’s upcoming follow-up to his hit album “Whitsitt Chapel”, due out later this year.
Miranda Lambert recently released another new song off of her upcoming album “Postcards From Texas”, and it’s classic Miranda Awesomeness!
Check out “Alimony”:
Now, THAT is some classic Miranda. Fun, Feisty, and with perfect Country vocals.
Oh, and she just released the acoustic version today:
All these tunes Miranda has been dropping has me all kinds of ready for her new album on her new label Republic Records called “Postcards From Texas”, which comes out September 13th.
Oh, and Friday?
She will release her long-awaited duet with Lainey Wilson “Good Horses”.
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
