I was so excited to hear this new single, and be brought back to the Eric Church of a few years back.
His new single “Hands of Time” is perfect.
Enjoy:
Here’s the full lyrics:
“Hands Of Time”
“Detroit built brakes so that they could make a Chevy slow down
And a just-right midnight sorry might turn goodbye around
Bloody Marys and aspirin will give a hangover one hell of a fight
But my remedy for handling the hands of time
Is Seger singing “Hollywood Nights”
Even the losers get lucky sometimes
A paradise by the dashboard light
And I’m just fine, I’m doing alright
We ain’t as young as we used to be
But young at heart is so easy
When you let some loud guitars and words that rhyme
Handle the hands of time
My go-to game day jersey’s always Carolina blue
When I need to find forgiveness, I find a little small town church pew, yeah
After work I like to put my elbows up on a bar
And girl, I turn to the speakers when I need to speak to this ol’ heart
And it’s “Back In Black,” “Shook Me All Night Long”
“Could You Be Loved,” “Redemption Song”
“Luckenbach,” “Home Sweet Home”
I’m “Where I Belong,” “Ain’t Nothing Wrong,” yeah
We ain’t as young as we used to be
But young at heart is so easy
When you let some loud guitars and words that rhyme
Handle the hands of time
Hands of time
Tryin’ to hang on as the song rolls
Like gravity pulls on the grains of sand
We take our licks, life takes its toll
We say thanks and we fold our hands
And it’s “Amazing Grace,” how sweet the sound (“Amazing Grace”)
Sunday morning coming down
Tuesday’s gone, green grass of home (Tuesday’s gone)
I come to the garden alone, yeah
We ain’t as young as we used to be
But until under that willow you bury me
I’m gonna turn up some loud guitars
Turn up some loud guitars
(Turn it up loud) Turn up some loud guitars
(Turn it up) Crank some loud guitars
Crank up some loud guitars (Turn it up, turn it up now)
Wanna hear some loud guitars (Turn it up, turn it up now)
I’m gonna let some loud guitars and words that rhyme
(Turn it up, turn it up now, turn it up)
Handle the hands of time”
Oh, hell yes.
That’s one of the great things about music. It can always handle the “Hands of Time”.
The song is off of his new album “Evangeline Vs. The Machine”, and you can get info, tour dates, all that good stuff at https://www.ericchurch.com/
One of the many things about the best decade ever was the Country Music. 90’s Country is next level, and I really don’t think anyone can argue me that.
But what one CAN argue on (because we are humans, and arguing about anything and everything is in our DNA) is this list of the “Best Country Songs of the 90’s”.
“Holler” – A Country Music website- put out a list of the best songs from the ’90s. Here are the Top 10:
1. “Chattahoochee” by Alan Jackson:
One word: ICONIC
2. “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” by Toby Keith
THE best song out of Toby’s catalogue. And easily one of the best of the decade.
3. “How Do I Live” by LeAnn Rimes:
I’ll be honest. I never really liked this song. First off- both LeAnn Rimes and Trisha Yearwood had the same song out at the same time (which was dumb), and even though LeAnn’s vocals are killer, it always struck me odd for a teenager to sing that song.
I mean, dramatic much?
Yeah, hard pass for me.
4. “Friends in Low Places” by Garth Brooks:
One of the best party songs ever. No arguments here!
Now, it would be cool if Garth would actually put his music videos on YouTube like everyone else…
5. “Independence Day” by Martina McBride:
Another classic… and fun fact: it’s NOT about the 4th of July at all, yet it’s played a lot on that holiday.
Listen to the lyrics, people!
6. “Achy Breaky Heart” by Billy Ray Cyrus:
I’m embarrassed to admit that 9-year-old me liked this song.
42 year-old me thinks it’s basically Luke Bryan with a mullet.
Also, Billy has fallen waaaaayyyy off of his rocker these past few decades.
Too much fame too fast can do that.
7. “Fancy” by Reba McEntire:
Reba is a freaking QUEEN, and this song will always hit.
Although, as I kid, I thought she was singing “Here’s your watch back, Fancy don’t let me down”.
Because, back in the 90’s, one couldn’t simply google lyrics.
Kids today will never understand.
8. “Neon Moon” by Brooks & Dunn:
Oh, HELL YES!
One of the best lines in Country Music is in this song: “Watch your broken dreams dance in and out of the beams of a neon moon”…
Classic.
9. “Maybe It Was Memphis” by Pam Tillis:
Pam Freaking Tillis.
What a legend. That voice… that heritage… and this song is perfection. It’s extra special to me, as I fell in love with my husband in Memphis. This was before you could go to Beale Street with much less of a chance of being shot.
10. “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” by Brooks & Dunn:
If you didn’t know the line dance to this in the 90’s, you were lame. It was like the OG TikTok dance.
So, there you have it.
The 10 Best Songs of the 90’s according to “Holler”.
I had the pleasure of checking in with Country star Josh Turner today- he’s performing at Pueblo Memorial Hall tonight, and he called into the show for a little chat.
He’s got a new album coming out this year called “I’m The Problem”, and although he hasn’t officially set the release date or track list yet, he’s not been shy about posting teasers of what will be on the album.
Earlier today, he shared a clip of “I’m a Little Crazy”, and I have a feeling most of his audience will relate:
And it goes well with the state of the world these days.
My husband is Active Duty Army, and has been for the past 18 years. He says the “boogeyman” is real. Sadly, our world is insane, and you have to do what you can do to get through it.
For a lot of us, that’s music.
And from the sound of it, Morgan seems to have some pretty solid stuff in the pipeline for us.
Stay tuned!
Also, he’s hitting the road in 2025 with Miranda Lambert, and you know that’s gonna be amazing.
Country music is all about collabs lately, and I have a feeling the guys are going to LOVE (and totally relate to) this song.
Country/Rock artist HARDY has teamed up with fellow Country artist Nate Smith for a new banger called “Nobody Likes Your Girlfriend”, and both the song and video are hilarious.
Especially as we all know a guy with a girlfriend that no one likes, am I right?
So much yes right there… and I love that Kevin James is in the video as well.
As one of those girls who always had a bunch of guy friends, even I can relate to this song.
And guys, let me tell you, if no one likes your girlfriend, bail.
In my years of experience- I’m 42 now- it NEVER works out.
Another future hit from Morgan Wallen has arrived…
Morgan Wallen has a new album called “I’m the Problem” which we’re still waiting on the release date and track listing. In the meantime, Morgan is sporadically putting out songs from the upcoming project, and he has his first song on there about being a dad to his song Indigo.
He wrote on his socials, ““Been trying for a long time to write a song I loved to my son. None of them ever feel good enough because of how perfect I want something like this to be. And not saying this is perfect, but I am very proud of it. Here is a clip; It’s called ‘Superman.’”
Yeah, I’d say he hit that one out of the park. I especially love the references to the hot mess that Morgan can sometimes be. But, hey, at least he owns up to it!
I seriously cannot wait to hear this album.
Morgan will also be on the road with Miranda Lambert this year, which is going to be all kinds of amazing. Get dates and info at http://morganwallen.com
Could be my hot flashes… or maybe it’s just this music video for Country star Riley Green’s new single “Worst Way”.
All I can say is… DAMN.
Yeah, Riley Green doesn’t work out or anything.
Also, is anyone getting major Spencer Dutton vibes from him? (Hello, “1923”!)
Either way, Riley is easily the sexiest man in Country Music right now.
Fight me.
You can also catch him on the road this year- get the dates at http://Rileygreen.com
Really, my only complaint about this video is that he tossed the wine before showing up.
Cowboys beat the Bills… you know… back when the Cowboys won stuff.
I was at my parent’s friends’ house in Bolivar, TN. I was 11 years old, and the halftime show was Clint Black, Travis Tritt, Tanya Tucker, and The Judds.
What a time to be alive.
Behold, one of the greatest Super Bowl Half-Time Shows of all time:
THIS is what we need more of.
The past few half-time shows have been Rap/Hip-Hop, and no disrespect to that, but when was the last time we had a Country show?
Oh right, 1994.
Which makes zero sense, as Country Music is as big as it ever was.
At the very least, a Post Malone Half-Time show with all of his collaborators?
