Luke Grime’s “No Horse To Ride”

If you’re like me, and a huge “Yellowstone” fan, then you’re familiar with Luke Grimes AKA Kacye Dutton.  I’m guessing playing a cowboy on the show has inspired him to try his hand at Country music.  And the result? Not too shabby.

Check out his first single “No Horse to Ride”

It’s not terrible, right? Sounds like something that would be on the “Yellowstone” soundtrack for sure- and I’m just happy he didn’t go the “Bro-Country” route.

He just signed with UMG Nashville, which is a pretty big deal, so we can expect an album soon.  Definitely looking forward to hearing more from Luke!

Megan Moroney “Tennessee Orange”

Ok, so a few weeks back I was posting about Morgan Wallen’s new song “Tennessee Fan” (I’m from the great state of Tennessee. I had to share it- moral obligation)

Well, rumor has it that it’s inspired by this new song by Megan Moroney called “Tennessee Orange”.  According to the rumor mill, they had a thing going for a while, but niether Morgan or Megan would confiem nor deny it.  Either way, it’s a fantastic song!

 

Pretty dang solid. And it’s starting to chart in the Country world, so I’m thinking you can expect to hear a lot more of Megan in the future.  Plus, her name is Megan and spelled correctly like mine, so #respect.

Morgan Wallen “Tennessee Fan”

 

A few months ago, Morgan Wallen was teasing a new song called “Tennessee Fan” after the Tennessee beat Alabama (which happens NEVER), and it caused a lot of excitement.

Well, the full song dropped this morning! Happy Friday!

It’s a part of Morgan’s new release that came out today called “One Thing at a Time” which features three new songs including “Tennessee Fan”.

 

Oh, and his doing a world tour next year with HARDY, Parker McCollum, ERNEST and Bailey Zimmerman, which will be pretty damn amazing.

Get dates and info here

We’ve got a lot of new music from so many incredible artists coming our way… I’ll do my best to keep you posted!

Neon Union Live Performance!

 

So, today at the station, a hot new Country duo called Neon Union stopped by to play us a few songs at the Silversound Guitar Studio and they were incredible!

Plus, some of the nicest guys you could ever hope to meet.

Here’s a few of their songs:

 

“Bout Damn Time”

“This Side of the Dirt”

“Made in Mexico”

 

Aren’t they freaking good?  They’re just getting started, too.

 

Thank you Jab Entertainment for bringing them to us today.   This was a total treat.

 

And yes, my baby Brandon was trying to perform harmonies in the background.  Some moms take their babies to daycare. I take mine to artist showcases.  Brandon’s not mad at it.

Hannah Ellis Interview

The first time I heard “Country Can” on the radio, I immediately had to look up the artist Hannah Ellis and track her down!  Luckily, I was able to catch a few minutes with her and she is just as cool as her song!

Isn’t she fun?  I especially love her story about being on “The Voice”- it just proves that if you really, really want something to happen, you have to chase it down, and not take NO as an answer.

Check out “Country Can” – it’s definitely one of my favorite new Country songs this year!

I can’t wait to see what happens for Hannah in the future. Whatever it is, I’m pretty sure it’s going to be awesome.

Morgan Wallen “Thought You Should Know”

 

Morgan Wallen has pretty much owned Country Radio in 2022.

His latest single “You Proof” is still at #1 for the 3rd or 4th week… I’m losing track. He’s also announced that he is in full album “Grind Mode”- so we should be getting more Morgan in 2023.

 

In the meantime, he just released his latest single to Country radio “Thought You Should Know” and yes, it’s gonna be all over in a day or two.

Anyone who loves their Mama like I do will definitely relate to this one.

I’m happy to see that Morgan seems to be on the right track, and keeping out of trouble (for the time being!) and I’m pulling for him.

Can’t wait for his next album! You know it’s gonna dominate.  He’s like Taylor Swift with a bad rep and a mullet.

He can’t lose.

Shania Twain Announces New Album and Tour for 2023!

 

Shania Twain has always been one of my role models.

The first time I heard her song “Any Man of Mine” on 107.7 in Henderson, TN, I was 12 years old. I remember hearing the song on the radio and thinking “Yessss!!!!” I loved the beat and the sass and the fact that it was such a departure from what was typically “Country” at the time, yet still had the twang. Yes, I cared about those things even then.

Then I saw the music video at a friend’s house (we didn’t have cable at mine) and it was pretty much life changing.  Here was this stunning woman sashaying around a barn with her horses- being sexy and badass at the same time.  Growing up on a farm and being a “horse girl”, I thought that you couldn’t be both a farm girl and sexy, but seeing Shania do her thing on CMT showed 12 year-old me that it totally COULD happen.  You can be a country girl, have some sass and fire, and totally kick ass. She proved that to me, and it was a pretty major moment in my young life, realizing that you can be all the things.

Fast forward through a couple of decades of Shania being a badass…

and she’s BACK!

Her new album is called “Queen of Me” (LOVE the title and the cover art!) and she has a tour to follow. Yeah, it’s only a few dates, but if there was ever an artist worth a road trip for it’s her!

More info on the album and tour here.

Can I say it? Please????

 

“Let’s Go Girls”!

 

Also. check out her documentary on Netflix. It’s pretty fantastic!

Kane and Katelyn Brown “Thank God”

I’m going to be completely honest- I was never a big Kane Brown fan.  Nothing against him- he has a great voice and story- but I never really clicked with his music until this song dropped this morning. “Thank God” fetaures his wife Katelyn’s vocals, and damnnnnn… she’s incredible. I knew she was a singer- but I didn’t realize that she was of that caliber. Seriously, give that woman a record deal!

I really love their voices together, and this is just a sweet song that I can see on the radio, and played at pretty much every wedding.

My family has a wedding venue in West Tennessee (Cogan’s Farm- look it up!) and I’m always on the lookout for great wedding songs, and this one makes the cut for sure.

Also, Kane Brown’s new album “Different Man” just dropped today. I’m really just wanting to hear more of his wife! Damn, girl!

Who do you think they’re missing?

I’m wondering where Shania Twain “The Woman In Me” and Garth’s “Pieces” is… those surely deserve on the list?

Or maybe I’m just partial as those were some of my favorites growing up, and both albums had a bunch of radio hits.

Zac Brown Band Feat. Cody Johnson “Wild Palomino”

I love the Zac Brown Band (aside from their experiemental album that we won’t name here) and Cody Johnson. So, when I heard they were re-releasing “Wild Palomino” with Cody, I was ALL for it.

The result? Fantastic, of course.

Also, I have a Palomino horse. You can put reins on her. But still…

Songs like this make my heart happy.

It’s also national “I Love Horses Day” so it’s even more perfect.
