Carly Pearce “Fault Line”

I have to say that this is my favorite song that Carly Pearce has released in a minute.

Carly released the latest off of her upcoming 4th studio album “hummingbird”, and it’s a perfect Country heartbreak song with a little bit of sass. Totlly giving Tammy Wynette vibes with this one:

Well, if that isn’t the perfect little Country bop…

Carly’s upcoming album “hummingbird” comes out June 7th, and it’s gonna be a good one.

Zach Top Interview

Earlier this year, Zach Top exploded onto the Country scene seemingly out of nowhere with his song “Sounds Like the Radio” which is a tribute to the “Glory Days” of Country Music in the Mid-90’s.

As soon as I heard the song, I knew it would take off, and look at that, every now and again I’m right!

“Sounds Like the Radio” is now in the Top 40 on the Hot Country charts, and if you haven’t heard the song yet, let me enlighten you:


90’s Country Perfection, right???

And Zach Top himself was kind enough to join me on the air this week, and he is SUCH a sweetheart.

Seriously, how can you not love him?

I am so excited about what the future has in store for him, and to see him on the road this Summer with Dierks Bentley.

Post Malone Feat. Morgan Wallen “I Had Some Help”

Who else has been waiting on this?

Post Malone is making the move to Country Music- I mean, who isn’t these days?

But I’m cool with it. I think he’s a great artist, and honestly, you can’t help but like the guy.

The first song off his upcoming project is the new single with Country Megastar Morgan Wallen.

It’s called “I Had Some Help” and it’s catchy as all get out.

You knew it would be, with those two behind it:

I like it. I really do. I wish there wasn’t as much autotune on it, as neither of those guys need it, but it’s 2024, and that’s how producers roll these days.

I smell an easy #1 hit.

What do you think about the new Posty Collab?

Stay tuned for more, as his Country project is slated for later this year.

 

Reba McEntire “I Can’t”

Well, this was a pleasant surprise…

Reba McEntire released an anthemic new song called “I Can’t” and it proves that Reba still has IT.


I honestly feel like that is one of the best songs Reba has had in a while. Anyone who has been in a relationship of any kind where they were being mistreated can relate. Hell, I’ve been there, and this song had me saying “Helllll Yessss, Reba!!!!”

Also, she’s 69, and still sounds incredible.

Need more proof?

She performed the song last night on “The Voice”, and just owned the damn thing.

Freaking QUEEN, that is all.

Also, she’s got a Comedy ordered by NBC called “Happy’s Place”.

So, no signs of stopping for this amazing woman.

Lainey Wlson is topping the Country charts this week with her latest single (and my favorite of hers) “Wildflowers and Wild Horses”.

But what about the demo?

Woahhhhh…

Songwriter Paul Sikes posted the original demo on instagram yesterday in honor of the song going #1:

Oooooohhh… all the chills right there.

Thank you, Paul, Trannie Anderson, and Lainey Wilson for writing such a fantastic song. Definitely one of my favorites!

Also, Lainey is everywhere these days, and is geting her own Hulu Documentary on May 29th, and she’s opening her own bar in downtown Nashville where the FGL House used to be.

Woman is on FIRE!

George Strait and Chris Stapleton “Honky Tonk Hall of Fame”

Oh, Happy Day!

Last night, George Strait hit the stage at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, and debuted a new song with his tourmate- the badassery that is Chris Stapleton- called “Honky Tonk Hall of Fame”.

And, of course, it’s REAL Country perfection:

This song makes me want a beer real bad.

I cannot wait to hear the actual studio recording of it! I mean, can you get better than George Strait and Chris Stapleton?

No.

No, you can’t.

Oh, and George also announced his long-awaited studio album called “Cowboys and Dreamers” and that it will be out “soon”.

Well, soon isn’t soon enough!

In the meantime, you can catch the legend along with Chris Stapleton and Little Big Town on the road- get dates and info at https://georgestrait.com/
2024 is shaping up to be a great year for Country music!

 

Keith Urban and Lainey Wilson “Go Home W U”

Man, we’re getting all kinds of new music today!

Not only did we get the new Miranda Lambert “Wranglers”, but also the Keith Urban/Lainey Wilson collab “Go Home W U”.

Damn. It’s a great day for Country Music!

And “Go Home W U” is the perfect Summer party song:


I’m digging it. Then again, Lainey Wilson can do no wrong in my book.

Keith Urban is working on a new album, and you can bet that will be on it! That being said, so is Lainey.

So, basically, we have a lot of new music coming our way.

Buckle up, Buttercup!

Miranda Lambert “Wranglers”

Happy Friday!

I’ve been waiting for this release. Miranda Lambert is easily one of my favorite artists, and her new single “Wranglers” is similar to some of her earlier releases.  Kind of like a sequel to her first hit “Kerosene”- at least that’s the vibe I’m getting.

I dig it!

I love the sassy, crazy side of Miranda. And what I really love about her as an artist is that she really sells her songs. Like, you can totally see Miranda setting fire to her dude’s Wranglers when she’s pissed.  On the flipside, when an artist like, say, Carrie Underwood puts out a revenge song, I just can’t see her doing the things she sings about. Miranda, on the other hand, absolutely!

She’s like a modern Tanya Tucker.

Wranglers should really use this song in an ad promoting their durability.

Hopefully, we’ll get a new album announcement soon! She did just recently sign with Republic Records, so you know it’s gonna be happening.

In the meantime, you can catch her on the road this year- dates are up at https://www.mirandalambert.com/tour/2227/new-braunfels-tx/
 

 

Kelly Clarkson Covers Reba McEntire’s “Til You Love Me”

I know I can’t seem to go a week without sharing a Kellyoke video, but come on, she’s just so damn good!

Yesterday, on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” Kelly covered one of my favorite Reba McEntire songs “Til’ You Love Me”, and of course, slayed it.


Yep, she definitely did that song justice. That song was my JAM in the 8h grade.

Very few people can cover Reba McEntire, let alone make it almost as good as the original.

But she did the dang thing!

Honestly, I want to see her cover a Metallica or Black Sabbath song.

Ooooh! Or Dio “Rainbow in the Dark”!

What would you like to see Kelly take on?

Ashley McBryde Performs a Disney Classic With “Part of Your World”

Ashley McBryde recently performed in Orlando, and she totally got Disney with it.

As she should.

Check out her incredible performance of “Part of Your World” from the Disney classic “The Little Mermaid”:

@ashleymcbrydemusic When in Orlando, you MUST sing a #Disney song…specifically, you must sing something from The Little Mermaid. Thanks @Lynsey for capturing this video! #OnTour #TheLittleMermaid ♬ original sound – Ashley McBryde

How great was that, though?

Ok, so now I’m thinking that a Country covers album of Disney Classics sung by today’s Country stars should be a thing.

Ok, universe, I threw it out to ya, now go manifest!
