Cletus T. Judd “Riley Green”

I love me a good parody, and Cletus T. Judd knocked it out of the park with this one.

If you weren’t aware, Cletus is the resident Country parody singer, and has been around for decades.

His latest offering?

A song that parodies Doly Parton’s classic “Jolene”… it’s called “Riley Green”, and it’s all about the Country Music heartthrob:

I don’t know why, but I always love these.

Also, Riley Green is totally unfair to all the men out there.

I get it.

 

Ella Langley/Wham! Christmas Mash-Up

Ok, you know I love me a good mash-up.

The more unexpected, the better.

So, when this DJ on TikTok (DJ Vic) posted a mash-up of Ella Langley’s latest hit “Choosin’ Texas” mashed up with Wham’s “Last Christmas”, I was excited… but I did NOT expect it to be this good.

Enjoy:

Aerosmith, YUNGBLUD, and Lainey Wilson “Wild Woman”

I am all kinds of here for this.

Aerosmith and YUNGBLUD recently put out an EP called “One More Time”, and they just teamed up with Country superstar Lainey Wilson for a pretty badass version of “Wild Woman”.

Lainey is a great addition to this already solid song:


I have always loved Aerosmith, and Lainey is one of my favorite modern Country singers, so yeah, I’m all about it.

Steven Tyler sounds pretty good, doesn’t he? With all his recent vocal issues, it’s good to hear him still rip- even if it’s just in a studio.

A little bit of Steven Tyler is better than none, am I right?

Luke Combs “Giving Her Away”

Luke Combs is gearing up for a new album in 2026… and he just dropped a song that you’re going to be hearing at weddings for the next few decades at least.

It’s called “Giving Her Away”, and it’s a fresh twist on your typical Father/Daughter wedding song dynamic:

Well, ok.

Not my contact lenses getting all itchy with tears.

Luke Combs never misses… pretty much everything he outs out hits the mark.

He’s got a big 2026 in store, and you get get tour dates and other info at Lukecombs.com

Kelly Clarkson “Weren’t For the Wind”

You know I love me some Kellyoke, because, basically, Kelly Clarkson can song anything and make it her own.

If you’re not familiar with the phenomenon, Kelly Clarkson- on her talk show “The Kelly Clarkson Show”- covers different songs almost daily, and almost always knocks them out of the ballpark and beyond.

Her latest Kellyoke slay?

Her version of Country star Ella Langley’s “Weren’t for the Wind”. So, so good!

Enjoy:

Can Kelly just go on and put out a Country album, please?

Avery Anna Rocks an Ozzy Cover With “No More Tears”

Ok, I may just have a new girl crush.

Rising Country singer Avery Anna just slayed the pants off of Ozzy Osbourne’s “No More Tears” and I’m floored over here.

She didn’t do a Country version either- she went full Rock on it, and I’m just over here like “Hell Yeah, Woman!!!!”

Behold:

@avery.anna.musicno more tears

I mean, DAMN, woman.

Now she’s got my attention for sure.

Carly Pearce “Dream Come True”

Carly Pearce just released an honest and heartbreaking new song “Dream Come True”, and it’s one of my favorite of hers so far.

It’s real, and not only shows off her pure voice, but also shows the not-so-fun side of fame and what actually happens when your dream comes true.

It’s not always fun and games, kids.

Oooof.

Yeah, that one floored me the first time I heard it.

It’s a good reminder that just because someone seems to have it all, you never know the reality of what’s behind the sparkle.

And there is a sacrifice- lots of them- that comes with fame.  We mortals seem to forget that.

Also, Carly is not only incredible live, but also a really cool, fun person.

And we share the same weird trait of double-jointed elbows:

@meganontheradio Turns out @Carly Pearce and I have something really random in common… #carlypearce #countrymusic #countryradio #radio #radiopersonality #doublejointed #coloradosprings #fyp ♬ original sound – Megan Vaughan


I hope this new single means a new album coming soon?

I’ll keep you posted.

Chris Stapleton “White Horse” Music Video

Better late than never?

2 years after it’s release, Chris Stapleton finally dropped the music video for “White Horse”, and it’s pretty badass.

It stars Josh Brolin, and is basically a mini-action thriller movie.

Enjoy:


Well, that was… intense.

Love the plot-twist at the end.

Can we get more Stapleton movies? (Love the cameos of him and his baddie wife Morgane)

I think they’re onto something here.

I’d share dates for his 2026  leg of his All-American Roadshow Tour, but theyre pretty much sold-out.

Because, Chris Freaking Stapleton.

 

Kelsea Ballerini “I Sit in Parks”

Kelsea Ballerini released one heck of a new song this past Friday- it’s called “I Sit in Parks”, and I really feel like it’s one of her best yet.

It’s the plight of the modern woman:


That song hits different, right?

Very honest and vulnerable… and having had a child later in life (at 38) after establishing my career, I definitely relate to the subject. Sure, my career isn’t an iota as to what Kelsea’s career is, but still, I get it.

It’s something that so many women struggle with internally… do you get married and have kids first? Or work to fulfill your potential in the working world? Or both?

Both is hard, but it can be done. I’m proof of that.

Lord, it’s a lot of juggling and constantly restructuring, yet extremely fulfilling at the same time.

I hope Kelsea- and every woman in this situation- can find the happiness they long for.

That being said, Kelsea has really upped her game as a songwriter this past decade, and I can’t wait to hear more from her.

Luckily, that’s not a long wait… her new EP “Mount Pleasant” drops this Friday, November 14th.
