She’s easily on of the hottest Country stars out there right now, and for a few weeks she has been teasing a song called “6 Months Later” on her socials, and she released it this morning.
Enjoy!
I love her sound, and her songwriting skills are on point.
Megan says she’s about “80 percent done” on her next album, and it’s safe to say it will be a hit.
Women are killing the game in Country Music, and I couldn’t be happier.
Zach Top- one of the most promising up-and coming Country artists that actually sounds like (gasp!) Country- just dropped the official Summer Country banger.
It’s called “Good Times and Tan Lines” and it’s almost a carbon copy of Alan Jackson’s 90’s Summer Smash “Chattahoochie” and that’s not a bad thing.
Enjoy:
Such a fun song, and again, total Alan Jackson vibes, and that’s ok.
Country music needs more of this.
Zach Top’s new album “Ain’t In it For My Health” drops August 29th.
Oh, and last year, I had the chance to interview Zach right before he blew up, and he’s an absolute doll.
I am so happy for all of his success… well deserved!
She proved why she is the ACM Entertainer of the Year for the 2nd year in a row with her performance of her new song “Somewhere Over Laredo” at the American Music Awards last night, and in my humble opinion, it was one of the best performances on the show…
Now, that’s how it’s done. No lip synching, no back-up dancers or overtly sexual moves… (Sorry, J Lo… )
Just talent, a good song, and a stunning performance.
“Somewhere Over Laredo” is off of Lainey Wilson’s deluxe version of her latest album “Whirlwind” and will be out August 22nd.
Lainey Wilson just released a new song, and it’s probably one of my favorites of hers so far…
It’s called “Somewhere Over Laredo”, and it’s inspired by the “Wizard of Oz” classic “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”, yet it takes on a whole new life of it’s own.
Enjoy:
So, it looks like this song will be off of Lainey’s deluxe version of her latest album “Whirlwind”, which comes out August 22nd.
I love it, and I have a feeling that Lainey is just getting started.
She may end up being one of the “Mount Rushmore” Country artists of the future.
Unless you’ve been under a rock or something, you’re probably aware that Morgan Wallen’s new album “I’m the Problem” dropped today.
It’s huge, too. 37 songs… lots of collabs, of course, but I have to say my favorite so far?
One of the few actually Country songs on the album.
It’s Morgan and his friend and frequent collaborator ERNEST with “The Dealer”:
I like that a lot… kind of a new spin on Kenny Roger’s classic “The Gambler”.
Now, I haven’t had time to listen to the full album yet, as I have a job and a life and stuff… and 37 songs is a bit excessive in my opinion. But so far, it’s a lot of pop-leaning Country (no surprise there) and a really terrible song called “Miami” which is inspired by the late, great Keith Whitley’s “Miami, My Amy” that noone asked for.
Still, the album does have some big hits and solid songs on it, and with 37 songs, it’s hard for them all to be bangers.
And, let’s be real, it’ll be the biggest selling album of the year.
So, clearly, Morgan and his people know what they’re doing.

ERNEST has teamed up with one of my favorite artists Miranda Lambert for a collab that is Country to the core.
Sadly, you can’t say that about a lot of Country music these days, but this you can.
The song is called “Another Thing to Love” and, yes, I do love it:
Really, though, you can’t go wrong with Miranda involves, am I right?
Also, ERNEST is one of the hottest up-and-comers in the industry, and has several hits under his belt with collabs like “Flower Shops” and “Cowgirls”, both with Morgan Wallen, and his songwriting game is strong.
Yeah, you’ll be hearing from him for a while, which is a good thing.
Check out his latest release “Cadillac Sessions” out now, and get info, tour dates, etc. at ernestoffical.com
Ok, so I know I’ve sharing a lot of Carrie Underwood performances lately, but she’s so damn good, that I can’t help myself.
Other artists need to be stepping up their game, ok?
Last night on “American Idol”, which, yes, I am watching again sometimes as my 3-year-old son loves it, Carrie Underwood performed Heart’s “Alone” twenty years after her iconic performance on the show when she was a contestant.
And, naturally, she killed it:
Damn.
Aging like a fine wine, physically and vocally.
Remember two decades ago (yes, it’s been that long. Oof.) when she performed it and blew Simon Cowell away?
I remember seeing this live.
Hot damn, she’s come a long way. But even then, she was a star.
Just wanted to throw some CU vocal (and leg) appreciation out there!
