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
The “Twisters” movie soundtrack comes out tomorrow- same day as the movie- and it’s chock full of awesomeness!
We’ve gotten several great songs so far from Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett, and now we have Jelly Roll’s song from the soundtrack called “Dead End Road” that came out today!
It sounds a lot like Jelly’s latest #1 “Halfway to Hell”, but it works.
I, for one, really like Jelly Roll’s music. I know there are some haters out there, but I like what he’s putting out, and it’s relatable to so many.
Country isn’t all just cowby hats and twang, there’s more to it, and Jelly is proving it!

Carly Pearce has sent her new single to Country radio, and it’s a good, old-fashioned revenge song.
Her new single off her latest album “hummingbird” which came out last month is called “Truck on Fire”, and it’s a departure from what she’s had on Country radio lately. Instead of sad, emotonal songs like her collab with Chris Stapleton “We Don’t Talk Anymore” and her Grammy winning duet with Ashley McBryde “Never Wanted to be That Girl”, Carly ready to get into arson with “Truck on Fire” which is about, well, setting a cheater’s truck on fire. Because, why not?
It’s like the sequel to Carrie Underwood’s 2005 hit “Before He Cheats”. Like, forgetting keying the truck and hitting it with a baseball bat, just light the whole thing up.
That’ll show him.
Although, he probably has insurance…
Personally, I would go after something irreplaceable and sentimental, like his hunting trophies, but that’s just me.
If my husband pulls any dirty tricks, I’m going for the deer heads and turkey beards.
In case you missed it this past 4th of July, Zach Bryan- one of the hottest Country artists on the scene right now- dropped a new album “The Great American Bar Scene”, and there are some predictably great songs on there.
One that is getting a lot of attention is the collab with John Mayer called “Better Days”, and the behind-the-scenes video just came out a few minutes ago.
[Chorus: Zach Bryan & John Mayer, Zach Bryan]
So don’t get hateful, Lord, hot damn There’s a fire burnin’ in the back forty I’m still findin’ out who the hell I am
And I’m so tired of wastin’ it away Gonna find the time to realize
I’m in deep on better days
[Verse 3: Zach Bryan & John Mayer]
She always told me there’d be times like this
With a blue guitar, a city bar and a streetlight kiss
But I’ve never known quite what I deserve
You try so hard and wind up gettin’ burned
Solid stuff right there…
Zach Bryan makes emo Country that I want to drink beer and reminisce to.
“The Great American Bar Scene” is out now, and Zach is tearing up the road right now on his “Quittin’ Time” tour, and you can get those dates at https://www.zachbryan.com/tour
I didn’t think it was possible, but I love Lainey Wilson even more after this video!
Lainey released the music video for her latest hit “Hang Tight Honey” today, and it’s pretty dang cool.
I love the 60’s vibe that it starts out with, and her band being heaviy featured as well.
Check it out below:
Seriously, how fun is that?
Hang tight honey, Lainey isn’t going anywhere. I kind of feel like she’s just getting started.
Good.
Check out her new album “Whirlwind” which drops August 23rd, and she is all over the place this year on the road- hence the inspiration for the song- and you can get her dates at http://LaineyWilson.com
Kelsea Ballerini has teamed up with Folk-Pop singer/songwriter Noah Kahn (you may know his Top 40 hit “Stick Season”) for a beautiful duet called “Cowboys Cry Too”, which basically addresses “Toxic Masculinity” and serves as a reminder that it’s ok to cry, even if you’re a “tough guy”.
Here’s the lyrics:
“He’s as tough as the tattoos up his right arm
And I’ve talked him down from getting in a fight or two
He stands his ground, he’s as stubborn as the weeds in the backyard
‘Cause growing up, he had to go where the wind blew
He hides his heart and hurt, guess he kinda had to
In a world that says, “Saddle up and be a man”
When the sun goes down and his hazel eyes go blue
That’s when I understand
[Chorus: Kelsea Ballerini]
Cowboys cry too
They may not let ’em fall down in their hometown thinkin’ they still got shit to prove
That well runs deep
But when he’s showin’ his skin, lettin’ mе in, that’s when he’s toughest to mе
I never knew cowboys cry too
[Verse 2: Noah Kahan, Noah Kahan & Kelsea Ballerini]
I grew up wishing I could close off the way my dad did
‘Cause that man never felt a damn thing he didn’t wanna feel
But I’ve burned too many miles tryna ride out all the sadness But you can’t outdrive pain, someday it’s gonna take the wheel
Can’t be alone, but don’t wanna get close to anybody
Don’t wanna bare teeth, but don’t wanna look weak, it’s a tough spot
But I’m afraid you’ll walk away when the tears start runnin’
But I hope not”
Pretty solid lyrics, and I love the subject matter.
Both Kelsea and Noah contributed lyrics, and I have to say, Kelsea is really beginning to impress me as a songwriter, and she just wrapped up her 5th studio album, so we should be hearing something soon.
Miranda just released her new song “Dammit Randy”, and it’s classic Miranda.
It’s the perfect “moving on” song, with a mix of sass and emotion that Miranda is known for:
Love!!!
I actually like this better than her new single “Wranglers”, which came out recently.
Miranda is working on her new album with her new label Republic Records, and it will obviously feature “Wranglers”, “Dammit Randy”, and a collab with Lainey Wilson called “Good Horses” which I cannot WAIT for!
Stay tuned, and in the meantime, stay in the know with Miranda’s music and tour dates at http://MirandaLambert.com
