Zach Top Interview

Earlier this year, Zach Top exploded onto the Country scene seemingly out of nowhere with his song “Sounds Like the Radio” which is a tribute to the “Glory Days” of Country Music in the Mid-90’s.

As soon as I heard the song, I knew it would take off, and look at that, every now and again I’m right!

“Sounds Like the Radio” is now in the Top 40 on the Hot Country charts, and if you haven’t heard the song yet, let me enlighten you:


90’s Country Perfection, right???

And Zach Top himself was kind enough to join me on the air this week, and he is SUCH a sweetheart.

Seriously, how can you not love him?

I am so excited about what the future has in store for him, and to see him on the road this Summer with Dierks Bentley.

Post Malone Feat. Morgan Wallen “I Had Some Help”

Who else has been waiting on this?

Post Malone is making the move to Country Music- I mean, who isn’t these days?

But I’m cool with it. I think he’s a great artist, and honestly, you can’t help but like the guy.

The first song off his upcoming project is the new single with Country Megastar Morgan Wallen.

It’s called “I Had Some Help” and it’s catchy as all get out.

You knew it would be, with those two behind it:

I like it. I really do. I wish there wasn’t as much autotune on it, as neither of those guys need it, but it’s 2024, and that’s how producers roll these days.

I smell an easy #1 hit.

What do you think about the new Posty Collab?

Stay tuned for more, as his Country project is slated for later this year.

 

Reba McEntire “I Can’t”

Well, this was a pleasant surprise…

Reba McEntire released an anthemic new song called “I Can’t” and it proves that Reba still has IT.


I honestly feel like that is one of the best songs Reba has had in a while. Anyone who has been in a relationship of any kind where they were being mistreated can relate. Hell, I’ve been there, and this song had me saying “Helllll Yessss, Reba!!!!”

Also, she’s 69, and still sounds incredible.

Need more proof?

She performed the song last night on “The Voice”, and just owned the damn thing.

Freaking QUEEN, that is all.

Also, she’s got a Comedy ordered by NBC called “Happy’s Place”.

So, no signs of stopping for this amazing woman.

Lainey Wilson “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” Demo

Lainey Wlson is topping the Country charts this week with her latest single (and my favorite of hers) “Wildflowers and Wild Horses”.

But what about the demo?

Woahhhhh…

Oooooohhh… all the chills right there.

Thank you, Paul, Trannie Anderson, and Lainey Wilson for writing such a fantastic song. Definitely one of my favorites!

Also, Lainey is everywhere these days, and is geting her own Hulu Documentary on May 29th, and she’s opening her own bar in downtown Nashville where the FGL House used to be.

Woman is on FIRE!

George Strait and Chris Stapleton “Honky Tonk Hall of Fame”

Oh, Happy Day!

Last night, George Strait hit the stage at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, and debuted a new song with his tourmate- the badassery that is Chris Stapleton- called “Honky Tonk Hall of Fame”.

And, of course, it’s REAL Country perfection:

This song makes me want a beer real bad.

I cannot wait to hear the actual studio recording of it! I mean, can you get better than George Strait and Chris Stapleton?

No.

No, you can’t.

Oh, and George also announced his long-awaited studio album called “Cowboys and Dreamers” and that it will be out “soon”.

Well, soon isn’t soon enough!

In the meantime, you can catch the legend along with Chris Stapleton and Little Big Town on the road- get dates and info at https://georgestrait.com/
2024 is shaping up to be a great year for Country music!

 

Miranda Lambert “Wranglers”

Happy Friday!

I’ve been waiting for this release. Miranda Lambert is easily one of my favorite artists, and her new single “Wranglers” is similar to some of her earlier releases.  Kind of like a sequel to her first hit “Kerosene”- at least that’s the vibe I’m getting.

I dig it!

I love the sassy, crazy side of Miranda. And what I really love about her as an artist is that she really sells her songs. Like, you can totally see Miranda setting fire to her dude’s Wranglers when she’s pissed.  On the flipside, when an artist like, say, Carrie Underwood puts out a revenge song, I just can’t see her doing the things she sings about. Miranda, on the other hand, absolutely!

She’s like a modern Tanya Tucker.

Wranglers should really use this song in an ad promoting their durability.

Hopefully, we’ll get a new album announcement soon! She did just recently sign with Republic Records, so you know it’s gonna be happening.

In the meantime, you can catch her on the road this year- dates are up at https://www.mirandalambert.com/tour/2227/new-braunfels-tx/

Here’s more footage that I had found so far:


I am SO excited for this new single, which drops this Friday, May 3rd. And since Miranda signed with Republic Records recently, it’s a safe bet we’ll get a new album soon.

Oh, but you know what ELSE happened?

Miranda surprised fans again when she did a 3-song medley with Reba McEntire!

I don’t know f I can handle all of this badassery.

Morgan Wallen Debuts New Song at Ole Miss Concert

It looks like it’s going to take more than three Felony charges to slow Morgan Wallen down…

After getting arrested – again- this time for throwing a chair off of the rooftop Eric Church’s bar in downtown Nashville a couple of weeks ago, Morgan Wallen is back on the road, and really, not missing a beat.

He has since apologized, but it still remains to be seen if the charges will stick.

Really, Morgan is just a dumb drunk. That’s what it boils down to. A lot of Country stars have done waaaaayyyyy worse. But still, it was messed up, and I’m hoping he has learned his lesson.

Probably not.

But one can hope, right?

Anyhow, back to the music…

Morgan was at Ole Miss over the weekend, which is like Ground Zero for his fanbase, and he debuted a new song called “Lies Lies Lies” live and it sounds awesome:

@sadlergal @morganwallen teaching the SIP about LIES, LIES, LIES #morganwallen #fallinforwallen #gaht #2024 #onethingatatime #fypviral #fyp #fypage ♬ original sound – Kelly

Here’s another clip that I found on the interwebs:

Pretty dang good.

He’s got talent and songwriting skills for sure, and the controversy certainly hasn’t hurt him

Then again, P Diddy is being accused of WAY worse things, so maybe throwing bar furniture isn’t the worst thing?

Someone hire him some new handlers! Like, maybe put him on a leash like people do with toddlers…

In the meantime, the Morgan Wallen train shows no signs of slowing down.

Just watch out for flying chairs if you go.

Jelly Roll Debuts New Song at Grand Ole Opry

Jelly Roll is EVERYWHERE these days. On your radio, on your tv, and he’s basically taking over with his Country/Rock vibe and big (no pun intended) personality and amazing backstory.

He’s one of the few artists that gets regular airplay on Country, Rock, Top 40, and Adult Contemporary radio.

That in itself is a huge deal.

Well, last night, at The Grand Ole Opry, he debuted a new, unreleased song to see how it went over, and I have a feeling it’ll be on his next project.

Check out “Liar” below:

According to the fans’ reaction, it definitely has big hit potential.
