Sturgill Simpson recently delivered one hell of a version of the iconic “Purple Rain” by the legendary Prince, and you know what? He nailed it.
I’m usually a bit suspicious of covers of such incredible songs like “Purple Rain”, but Sturgill’s Country spin on the classic gave it a whole new vibe, and I love it.
Check this out:
I was prepared to not love it, but here I am.
Also, kudos to Sturgill’s band, because they killed it.
Also, Sturgill looks uncannily like my husband, which is not a bad thing.
This past Friday, Miranda Lambert released her 10th studio album, and her first on her new label Republic Records called “Postcards From Texas”, and I feel like it’s one of her best works yet.
And that’s saying something, as Miranda consistently puts out great Country music, and has been for the past two decades.
Yep, it’s been that long.
One of the standout songs on “Postcards From Texas” is Miranda’s collab with fellow Country artist Parker McCollum on a track called “Santa Fe”.
I’m getting major George Strait vibes on this one:
Thank you, Miranda Lambert, for always delivering great Country music.
Just a simple, pure, perfect Country song.
Can we get more of this, please?
I’m so loving that the real, true Country sound has been making a comeback.

She is one of the best in the business, and her 10th studio album “Postcards From Texas” proves why she has been a Country Music staple for 20 years.
Yes, it’s been 20 years since her breakout single “Kerosene” was released.
Feel old yet? You’re welcome.
Miranda Lambert’s latest album is basically a sonic roadtrip through her home state of Texas, and here are some of my favorites off of the album:
“Bitch on the Sauce”:
Oh, man. What woman hasn’t been there? I love it!
Miranda is really a master at getting lyrics just right to evoke whatever feeling she is trying to convey.
She teamed up with Jaren Johnston for this track, and they nailed it!
“Armadillo” :
And just like that, I want to get high with an Armadillo.
I think this might be one of my favorites on the album.
“Looking Back on Luckenbach”:
It’s the steel guitar for me on this one. Texas Honky Tonk Perfection right there!
Miranda wrote this with Shane McAnally and Natalie Hemby, so there was no way she would go wrong there.
And Miranda has a collab with Parker McCollum on the album as well, which is a nice treat.
“Santa Fe”:
Really, the entire album is fantastic, and I feel like it’s Miranda’s best yet. And that’s saying something, since she’s always put out great prejects.
I’ll be jamming out to this for a while.

Drinking on horseback with Miranda is still on my bucket list… not gonna lie.
The KING of Country Music released his 28th Studio album called “Cowboys and Dreamers” and of course, it’s pure Country Gold.
First off the title track- “Cowboys and Dreamers” is perfect:
BUT there’s also a collab with Chris Stapleton on there called “Honky Tonk Hall of Fame”, and really… you can’t go wrong when you combine those two:
“Honky Tonk Hall of Fame” reminds me of the early 80’s Country- just fun and rowdy- and again, add Chris Stapleton to the legend that is George Strait, and again- pure Country perfection!
Ella Langley is one of the ones to watch in Country Music, and this music video for her song with Riley Green “You Look Like You Love Me” will just solidify her in the industry.
First of all, I love the song- it’s pure Classic Country- and the video is perfect:
Does anyone alse think Riley Green needs to be a character on “Yellowstone”, or at least on a spinoff?
He’s totally giving off Spencer Dutton vibes.
“You Look Like You Love Me” is easily one of my favorite Country songs of the year so far, and I have a strong feeling you’ll hear a lot more from Ella Langley in the future.
Anyone else super happy that the Classic Country sound is making a comeback?
This new song of hers is just another reason why she is one of the best in the business- check out “No Man’s Land”:
Seriously, Miranda never misses. Her voice, delivery, and ability to evoke emotion through song is almost unmatched. So far, I have loved every song she has put out off of her upcoming album “No Man’s Land”, which comes out September 13th.
I have been waiting for this since Lainey Wilson and Miranda Lambert performed it in Vegas back in December.
Earlier this morning, Lainey and Miranda dropped a new song called “Good Horses”, and it’s everything I had hoped for.
I mean, really, how can you go wrong with these two?
PERFECTIIOn.
“Good Horses” was written by Lainey Wilson and Miranda Lambert alongside songwriter Luke Dick.
Everything about it, I love. The lyrics, which as a horse woman and a woman who has been hapily married for seventeen years to a man who has never tried to fence me in, speak to me on so many levels. And yes, a good horse will always come home. It knows where the hay is. Being a military wife, and someone who always likes to do my own thing and have my own life as well, this song is both me and my husband. We will always make our way back home to each other, no matter what. No need to keep each other in a round pen.
Kudos to Lainey and Miranda, not for just a beautifully written song that is nothing like what is on Country radio just now, but also for the gorgeous vocals.
“Good Horses” will be on Lainey’s upcoming album “Whirlwind” which will be out August 23rd.
Miranda Lambert recently released another new song off of her upcoming album “Postcards From Texas”, and it’s classic Miranda Awesomeness!
Check out “Alimony”:
Now, THAT is some classic Miranda. Fun, Feisty, and with perfect Country vocals.
Oh, and she just released the acoustic version today:
All these tunes Miranda has been dropping has me all kinds of ready for her new album on her new label Republic Records called “Postcards From Texas”, which comes out September 13th.
Oh, and Friday?
She will release her long-awaited duet with Lainey Wilson “Good Horses”.
