Lainey Wilson Teases Title Track off Her New Album “Whirlwind”

Just a week and some change away from Lainey Wilson’s new album “Whirlwind”!

And, like most artists do these days, she’s teasing songs off of it on social media, like the title track, which sounds like it’s gonna be a banger:

I love the vibe of this song, and the strains of the 90’s Country sound in it.

Thank you, Baby Jesus, for Lainey Wilson.

“Whirlwind” drops next Friday, and you can get more info at http://LaineyWilson.com

Kelsea Ballerini “Sorry Mom”

I’m going to be honest. I wasn’t really feeling Kelsea Ballerini when she first came out with her debut single “Love You Like You Mean It” in 2015.  Of course, that was when Bro/Pop Country was at it peak.  With songs like “Love Me Like You Mean It” and “Hey, Boy”, I was underwhelmed. But Kelsea has really grown so much as an artist and songwriter, and her latest release “Sorry Mom” shows how far she has come:


As someone who has a really close relationship with her mother, and who has done some dumb things that I know she didn’t approve of, this song is something I can truly relate to. And I know so many other women (and I’m sure men, too) will relate. After this and her collab with Noah Kahn “Cowboys Cry Too”, I’m really excited to see what she has in store for us on her upcoming album “Patterns” out October 25th.

Morgan Wallen Teases New Song!

Happy Friday!

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:

Damn. I can’t wait for the full version to drop.

No word on when that’s going to happen, but typically, when an artist teases something, that means something is going to be happening soon.

I really like Morgan’s deeper, slower tunes, as opposed to the catchy hits like last year’s smash “Last Night”.

Seriously, say what you will about Morgan- you can’t deny the guys talent.

He’s also killing it on his stadium tour right now- dates and info at http://Morganwallen.com

“Elvira” Music Video

Better late than never, right?

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.

This is so cool to me:

Hopefully that put a smile on your face.

Jelly Roll “Liar”

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.

Sorry, haters. Jelly is here to stay.

Miranda Lambert “Alimony”

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”.

I. Can’t. Wait.

 

Post Malone and Luke Combs “Guy For That”

Annnnnd we have another gem from Country Posty- this time with Country Superstar Luke Combs wih a collab called “Guy For That”!

Carrie Underwood Covers the Heck Out of “Don’t Stop Believin'”

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.

Carrie, can you do that?

@meganontheradio #tbt to when I was in a band and I got to sing at bars and act like a middle-aged Coyote Ugly chick. Good times. #rock #defleppard #dance #splits ♬ original sound – Megan Vaughan

I’m such a class act.

Anyhow, for some more REAL talent, how about the OG “Don’t Stop Believing”?

There is a reason that it is the “Most Popular Song in History” according to Forbes:

New Miranda Lambert “Alimony”

Well, this made my Monday WAY better!

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!
