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.

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.

Megan Moroney “Beautiful Things”

Megan Moroney is one of the hottest rising stars in Country Music right now, and she is keeping that momentum up with a gorgeous new song called “Beautiful Things”:

I feel like that’s a song most people can relate to.

I know I certainly can… I was pretty heavily bullied at school growing up, then in college, and heck, even as an adult it can happen in the workplace or, anywhere, really.

This song serves as a reminder that you’re a rockstar, and really, those that are picking on you, well, that’s just a reflection on THEM.

Not you.

And to anyone currently being bullied… it DOES get better.

Trust me.

 

That being said, “Beautiful Things” is just a taste of what’s to come with Megan’s new album, which is almost finished.

In the meantime, you can enjoy her latest release- a live album from her “Am I Ok?” tour.

Morgan Wallen “20 Cigarettes” Music Video

Morgan Wallen just released his new single “20 Cigarettes” to Country Radio, and just released a pretty cool video to go along with it:


Yes, Morgan smoked all 20 cigarettes for the video. I’m sure his lungs are so happy just now.

Also, why are his songs so damn catchy?

Not exactly the most brilliant writing, but the hooks and the content… it does resonate with me, being a small-town girl from West Tennessee.

Who hasn’t had a few beer bottles looking ash trays before?

Morgan Wallen is still riding high off of the mega-success of his latest album “I’m the Problem”, and is teasing some things for 2026.

Do I smell another tour?

Stay tuned…

Tim McGraw “King Rodeo”

Tim McGraw’s catalogue is seriously one of the biggest soundtracks to my childhood.

And at 58, he’s showing no signs of slowing down on the hits with his new song “Dear Rodeo”.

It was just released as a live version from the inaugural Music City Rodeo earlier this year, and it’s giving some “Desperado” vibes:


Damn, Tim is good live.

And I think that song is one of his best yet. Giving me some chills over here.

The song is likely part of the Bull Riding TV series that Tim was supposed to be a part of, but then he had a bunch of major surgeries this year that took him out of the project.

Hey, at least we got this killer song from it, so it’s not a total loss, right?

As far as Tim’s recovery from the surgeries, it looks like he’s doing well, and he was seen last week going into a recording studio (and rocking a shaved head, too) so I’m guessing more new music is on the horizon?

Stay tuned!

Zach Top “South of Sanity”

Thank you, Baby Jesus, once again for Zach Top!

Zach burst onto the Country Music scene last year, and has been blazing a trail through all of the bro-Country with his perfect 90’s Country style.

Thank GOD.

His new song, which just dropped this morning, is totally giving George Strait’s “I Can Still Make Cheyenne” and I am HERE for it.

All of it.


Well, now, that’s real Country music, and I’m just thankful for artists like Zach who are bringing that glorious sound back to Country Radio.

We’ll get more of this on his upcoming album “Ain’t in it for My Health” which drops August 29th.

Luke Combs “Back in the Saddle”

I’ve been waiting for this…

Country superstar Luke Combs just made Friday that much better with his highly anticipated new single “Back in the Saddle”.

He’s taken some time to spend with the family before dropping some new music- which I totally respect.

Check out “Back in the Saddle” and it’s pretty damn cool, and so is the video:

If that doesn’t get you fired up, well, that’s a you problem.

Also, Luke’s voice is just next freaking level.

Stay tuned for more announcements from Luke in the future… pretty sure we have another major album and tour for 2026.

 

Megan Moroney “6 Months Later”

Megan Moroney is on fire!

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 “Good Times and Tan Lines”

Alan Jackson, that you?

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!

Lainey Wilson “Somewhere Over Laredo”

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.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all.
