First off, “Good Girls and Cowgirls”:

You’re gonna hear that one a lot, so get ready.

Thank you Baby Jesus for Zach Top.

I was also lucky enough to interview him when he just broke out, and he’s the nicest, most genuine guy.

Kaitlin Butts “I Wanna Be Bad”

Country music is on fire in 2026.

The two biggest artists in America are Ella Langley and Morgan Wallen. For the first time EVER the Top 5 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 are Country songs. Top 40 Radio is playing Ella Langley’s “Choosing Texas” and Stella Lefty’s “Boston” in heavy rotation.

It’s pretty damn glorious, if you ask me.

Next up on your playlist?

Kaitlin Butts.

She’s one of Ella Langley’s friends- she even makes a cameo in the “Choosing Texas” music video- and has been on the scene for awhile.

Well, now it’s her time to strike.

She just released her new song “I Wanna Be Bad” and it’s so dang fun.

I have a feeling I’ll be playing this one a lot…


How cool is she? I really just want to party with her.

Ok, maybe I’m too old to get down, but I could come out of retirement for a night.

Here’s another one of her songs that hit big earlier this year- which went viral thanks to Ella Langley using it on a Tik Tok video and it being used on an episode of “Landman”.

“You Ain’t Gotta Die (To Be Dead to Me):

I love how unique she is as an artist- and funny as hell.

Her new album “Hello, Honky Tonk” drops October 30th, and she’s on the road big time in 2026.

Get ready for more of this woman. She’s comin’ in HOT!

Ashley McBryde Interview!

Why was this week awesome?

Because I got interview one of my favorites Ashley McBryde, that’s why!

She called into the show, and I think I just want to be her best friend.

Seriously. the most fun I’ve had with any interview!

How awesome is she, though?

You never know what someone is going to be like in an interview, but Ashley surpassed all expectations.

Also, she’s currently on the road, and is just as good live as she is on her records.

Brad Paisley and Miranda Lambert “Someone Else’s Arms”

I’m all here for this!

Brad Paisley teamed up with one of my favorites Miranda Lambert for a Classic Country-tinged duet called “Someone Else’s Arms”- enjoy!

I don’t know about you, but I’m loving the resurgence of the Classic Country sound in modern-day Country Music.

It was much needed…

“Someone Else’s Arms” is a part of Brad Paisley’s “Tacklebox” which is a collection of old and new music that keeps getting added to, like musical dropbox.

We need more in this in 2026!

Lainey Wilson “Phone, Keys, Wallet”

Lainey Wilson just dropped a new song for your Summer playlist… and BONUS: it features John Mayer on guitar!

Check out “Phone, Keys, Wallet”:

It’s pretty dang cute, and I love the John Mayer guitar solo!

Definitely one to add to the Summer Country playlist!

 

Speaking of Summer, Lainey is crazy busy this season on the road.

Ella Langley and Morgan Wallen “I Can’t Love You Anymore”

All the YES right here.

Ella Langley- who is pretty much OWNING 2026 so far- just dropped a collab with fellow Country Megastar Morgan Wallen called “I Can’t Love You Anymore”.

I was hoping this would happen, since they’re on the road together on the “Still the Problem” stadium tour this year.

And, yes, it’s freaking good.

How can it not be?

Well, that smells like a #1 for sure.

Will it be on Morgan Wallen’s upcoming project that he’s teasing?

Or maybe the deluxe version of Ella Langley’s new #1 album “Dandelion”?

Stay tuned.

All I know is that 2026 is Ella Langley’s YEAR, and there’s no stopping this train.

Jo Dee Messina Interview!

Eeeeeek!

Ok, not gonna lie… I totally fangirled out when I found out that I was going to get to interview one of my absolute FAVORITE artists in Country Music- Jo Dee Messina- this week!

I’ve been a fan since the first time I had hear “Heads Carolina, Tails California” in the 90’s, and she is back in a big way in 2026.

Good.

Check out what she’s got going on below:

How fun is she? I just love her even more now.

Also, check out her new single “Some Bridges”:

Classic Jo Dee.

And yes, there are some bridges that just need burned down.

She’s not wrong.

“Some Bridges” is off of her first studio album in over a decade “Bridges” which comes out this Summer.

Carly Pearce and Riley Green “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay”

Is it hot in here, or is it just this damn music video?

Country hotties Carly Pearce and Riley Green have teamed up for a sexy new song called, “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay”.

The song is, in my opinion, just ok.

But the video?

Get ready for some thirst trap action:

Well, ok then…

Between this and Kacey Musgrave’s “Dry Spell” that came out this past week, Country Music is getting all kinds of sexy over here.

And before you go thinking that Carly and Riley are hooking up, they’re not. At least that I know of. Carly is very openly showing off her new boyfriend on instagram.

Although, when I saw her last April, she did say that Riley Green is the “most beautiful man”.

She’s not wrong.

 

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

Luke Combs “Sleepless in a Hotel” Room

Luke Combs made his big announcement this morning- his highly anticipated new album “The Way I Am” will be dropping on March 20th, and of course, he has to put out a new single to go with the announcement.

It’s the fan-favorite “Sleepless in a Hotel Room”, and yes, it’s a certified banger.

I mean, of course it is.


Well, damn son.

And there’s his next #1 hit.

Luke says that this could be his best album yet (Really, would he say otherwise?) but if the other songs are as good as “Sleepless in a Hotel Room” it wouldn’t be a lie.

We’ll find out March 20th!

Also, Luke is hitting the road this year with Dierks Bentley and Thomas Rhett on his “My Kinda Saturday Night” tour- get dates here: http://Lukecombs.com
