Ella Langley Honors Ronnie Milsap!

Ok, ya’ll know I’m on my Ella Langley kick, and rightfully so.

Woman is KILLLLING it right now.

Last night, Ella Langley was a part of the Grand Ole Opry’s 50th Years With Ronnie Milsap celebration, and she took to the stage to perform a few of his many hits, including one of my favorites, “I Wouldn’t Have Missed it for the World’.

Of course, it was magic.

Enjoy:

A post shared by Ella Langley (@ellalangleymusic)

I am SO glad Ella is getting her well-deserved moment in music, and hopefully she’ll be around a long time.

I remember years ago, some Country Music programmer made headlines saying that women were just “tomatoes” in the Country Music Salad.

My then programmer in Manhattan, KS agreed. Oddly enough, he’s not in radio anymore.

Funny that.

Women aren’t the tomatoes. They’re the damn steak AND the ranch, and I’m glad artists like Ella Langley, Lainey Wilson, Megan Moroney and many others are proving it.

 

Megan Moroney and Ed Sheeran “I Only Miss You”

Megan Moroney released her highly anticipated 3rd studio album “Cloud 9” yesterday, and it’s pretty dang solid.

For me, it’s the duet that she has with Pop Megastar Ed Sheeran called “I Only Miss You”.

It’s got that old school Country sound that I adore:


You know, I keep hearing rumors about Ed Sheeran going Country… this is a damn good way to start.

Megan’s new album “Cloud 9” is out now, and she’s hitting the road this Summer to support it on her stadium tour.

Also, I love seeing all these amazing women killing it in Country music.

Keep it up, girls!

Jelly Roll “Thorns”

Jelly Roll continues his roll with a love song that he released over Valentine’s Day weekend called “Thorns”, and it’s pretty dang good.

Usually Jelly Roll’s Country songs have been about redemption, getting through the bad times, that kind of stuff… so it’s cool to hear an actual love song from him.

Check it out below:

Obviously, that’s about his wife Bunnie XO.

I like it. I like hearing a different side of Jelly Roll.

Does the new song signify a new album on the way? Not sure. Probably… it’s about time, so stay tuned.

In the meantime, you have Jelly Roll on the road with Post Malone on the “Big Ass Stadium Tour” this Summer.

That’s a whole lotta ink for one stage.

Ella Langley “Be Her”

Ella Langley is on one hell of a hot streak!

She just dropped her new song off her upcoming album “Dandelion” called “Be Her”, and it’s super-catchy and relatable.

Haven’t all of us women been there, though?

Just feeling like you don’t have your stuff together, and there’s always that one person who seems like they do.

Now that I’m in my 40’s, I know that the ones who seem like they have it all figured out usually don’t. They just fake it really well.

I seriously cannot wait for the full album, and after hearing “Be Her” and “Dandelion” off of it, you know it’s going to be amazing.

“Dandelion” comes out April 10th, and you can get more info, tour dates, etc. at http://ellalangley.com

Kelly Daniels “The Farrier”

A couple of weeks ago, I had the chance to chat with Country artist Kelly Daniels when he came to town, and he played a song for me called “The Farrier” which was about to drop.

Of course, being a horse girl, I was all ears when I heard that title, and when he played it live, I was NOT disappointed:


For those who don’t know what a farrier is (bless your sweet little hearts) it’s someone who shoes horses, as well as takes care of their hooves.  An “Equine Manicurist” if you will.

The song is based on a true story when Kelly was playing a rodeo, and met a farrier who was hot shoeing a horse, and they got to talking and had a heart-to-heart, and that’s how that song came about.

Pretty cool, right?

Also, here’s my genuine reaction after hearing this song for the first time:

Ahhhh.. this made my heart so happy. Also, the song was released on my birthday, so that makes it extra special, right?

I just wanted to share this song and artist with you, as I think they are worth a listen.

Also, Kelly Daniels’ EP – also called “The Farrier” is out now, so add it to your playlist!

 

Ella Langley “Dandelion”

2026 is Ella Langley’s YEAR.

Earlier this week, Ella announced her sophomore album “Dandelion”, and just released the title track today, and I’m obsessed.

I’ve already played it about a dozen times.

Definitely one of those “Love at first listen” songs:


Absolutely love it.

And damn, do I relate to it!

Ella Langley has it all. Sexy unique voice, mad writing skills, relatable and a total knock-out.

She’s just getting started…

Ella’s new album “Dandelion” drops April 10th, and she’ll be opening for Morgan Wallen this year on his “Still the Problem” tour.

HARDY, Morgan Wallen, Eric Church and Tim McGraw “McArthur”

Dude.

This song is something else.

HARDY, Morgan Wallen, Eric Church and Tim McGraw teamed up for a song called “McArthur”, and it’s as good as I had hoped it would be.


“When you pass on, what you gonna pass down?”

Anyone else getting “Highwayman” vibes from this?

Something we should all be asking ourselves, always.

We need more of this in Country Music.

That being said, I have a feeling that this year is going to be another BIG year for Country.

Buckle up, buttercup!

Zach Top SLAYS the “National Anthem”

Now THIS is how it’s done…

Country Star Zach Top- who I absolutely adore- sang the “National Anthem” prior to the NFC Championship Game last night.

The Seahawks won, and so did Zach Top with his rendition.

Damn, son.

He just did that beautifully.

Zach Top is here to save Country Music.

Definitely one of the best “National Anthems” in recent times.

Can we get more Country Music in the NFL? Please?

Megan Moroney “Wish I Didn’t”

Megan Moroney is on fire lately, and she’s owning it.

Megan just released a new song off of her upcoming album “Cloud 9” called “Wish I Didn’t”- and fans are wondering who it’s about.

Morgan Wallen? Riley Green?

Either way, the song is super cute and sassy, and I’m loving the video.

Funny that the guy in the video is like a Riley Green/Morgan Wallen hybrid, right???

Whoever it’s about, Megan Moroney knows how to market herself.

“Wish I Didn’t” is off of her “Cloud 9” album, which comes out February 20th.

Megan is also hitting the road this year on an arena tour to support the album- get dates at http://MeganMoroney.com

Brandon Lake and Cody Johnson “When a Cowboy Prays”

This has been a great week for new music.

One collab that I have been really excited about is Christian artist Brandon Lake and Country star Cody Johnson teaming up for “When a Cowboy Prays”.

This song is perfect:

Dang.

That is really good.

Then again, I knew it would be.

We need more of this going into 2026.
