Morgan Wallen Teases New Music “I’m a Little Crazy”

Morgan Wallen is such a damn tease…

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:

Another solid Country song incoming…

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.

Ernest SLAYS Cover of Kris Kristofferson’s “Help Me Make it Through the Night”

Damn.

One of my favorite newer Country artists- Ernest- dropped a rendition of the legendary Kris Kristofferson’s “Help Me Make it Through the Night” on instagram, and it’s pretty much perfection:

I feel like “Damn” is the only appropriate word right now.

In case you’re really behind on what’s hot on the Country Music scene, Ernest is one of the best up-and-coming artists on the scene, and he runs around with Morgan Wallen and HARDY, so you know he’s in the right crowd if you want to be a hitmaker.

But also, he’s just a really nice guy, as evidenced by our interview below:

LOVE his guy, and I think we’re just scratching the surface with what he can do.

Meghan Patrick “Golden Child”

I have a feeling that 2025 is going to be Meghan Patrick’s year.

Now, Meghan, hailing from Ontario, has been on the scene for quite some time, and has been getting a lot of attention as of late for her gritty and real Country sound.

She released her album “Golden Child” back in October, and the title track has cracked the Mediabase Top 50, and I have a feeling you will be hearing a lot more of it on your radio soon.

Check out “Golden Child” below:

Pretty dang good, am I right?

Here are the full lyrics:

“If I could send a letter back in timeTo younger me in her wilder daysA daydreamer with her head in the skyAnd always learning the hard way
I bet she’d think she knows better than meBut that’s just part of her charmNah, you couldn’t tell her anythingNothing stubborn as her and her heartBut I’d tell her while you’re reaching for the stars
Just be careful what you wish for honeyYou never know it might come trueDon’t be tempted by the easy moneyIt might cost more than you’re willing to loseThe same thing that takes the edge offIt can take the shine off after a whileSo wear your diamonds on the inside‘Cause everything that glitters ain’t golden, child
They’re gonna love you for the things you doBut not for who you areSo don’t go trading in your ride or diesFor the cool kids down at the bar
The time will come when you fall in lustAnd it’ll look like loveUntil it knocks you right down in the dustBut know that you’ll get back upYeah, know that you’re more than enough
Just be careful what you wish for honeyYou never know it might come trueDon’t be tempted by the easy moneyIt might cost more than you’re willing to lose (ah)The same thing that takes the edge offIt can take the shine off after a whileSo wear your diamonds on the inside (inside)‘Cause everything that glitters ain’t golden, child, ooh-ooh
Just be careful what you wish for honeyYou never know it might come trueDon’t be tempted by the easy moneyIt might cost more than you’re willing to lose (ah)The same thing that takes the edge offIt can take the shine off after a whileSo wear your diamonds on the inside (inside)‘Cause everything that glitters ain’t golden, childEverything that glitters ain’t golden, child, ooh-ooh
If I could send a letter back in timeTo younger me in her wilder daysI’d let her know that she’s doing just fineAnd everything’s gonna be okay”
Songwriters: Joey Hyde / Aaron James Eshuis / Meghan Sylvia Patrick
Seriously, though, such a great song, and I can definitely relate.
Heck, I think anyone who has lived just a litle bit of life can.
As I mentioned earlier,  I have a strong feeling that 2025 is going to be her year… get ready!

 

Morgan Wallen “Smile”

Well, this was a nice surprise this morning.

Morgan Wallen just dropped a new single called “Smile”, and I think it may be one of my favorites of his.

Written by Morgan, Ernest, Rocky Block, John Byron, Ryan Vojtezak and Luis Witkiewitz, I have a feeling this will be another #1 hit.

Because, like it or not, that’s all Morgan Wallen seems capable of producing these days.


Damn.

What I like about this song- aside from the sound and subject matter- is that it really shows of what a good vocalist Morgan is, which can sometimes be hidden with other hits like “Last Night” and “I Had Some Help”.

This definitely bodes well for more solid stuff in 2025.

And now this will be in my head all day, which isn’ a bad thing.

Have a Happy New Year!

Shenendoah “Sunday in the South” Remake With Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean

A couple of months ago, Shenandoah teamed up with Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean for an updated version of their classic #1 1989 hit “Sunday in the South”, and they just released the music video for the song, and it’s a solid recreation of the original- both the song and video:


Being a 90’s Country fan, I appreciated the heck out of that.

Also, I prefer Luke Bryan singing songs like this, instead of songs about beer and shaking your butt for a catfish, but that’s just me.

The video was filmed in Liepers Fork, TN, which is my home state, and reminds me of my hometown of Hnederson, TN, and I tell you, I could really go for some Bells Drive-n right know.

If ya know ya know.

Shenandoah is thankfully still going strong, and still on the road.

Nate Smith and Avril Lavigne “Can You Die From a Broken Heart”

Well, this was an unexpected treat.

Country star Nate Smith has teamed up with Punk/Pop superstar Avril Lavigne for one hell of a duet called “Can You Die From a Broken Heart”.

It’s freaking fantastic.

No, really, both have incredible voices that soar over over the notes, and the melody of the song is beautiful.


Yep, I love it!

I knew something was brewing when the two were seen together in Nashville last year.  I was hoping for a collab, and here we are!

Also, Avril’s voice is still badass.

“Can You Die From a Broken Heart” is off of Nate Smith’s new album “California Gold” out Friday.

Conway Fiddy “In Da Club”

You know what makes everything better?

Conway Fiddy.

For those who don’t get the joke, I’m sorry.

Just google it, because I’m too lazy this morning to explain it.

Anyhow, one of my favorite content creators “There I Ruined It” has released this glorious gem:

Sure to be  a classic.

I mean, let’s be real, Conway Twitty would have been all OVER this if he were still here. He does have some real panty droppers in his catalog, so I feel that he would approve.

Papa Roach and Carrie Underwood “Leave a Light On”

Papa Roach has teamed up with Carrie Underwood for a stellar version of Papa Roach’s hit song “Leave a Light On (Take Away the Dark)”  to benefit organizations that support suicide prevention, such as  American Foundation for Suicide Prevention which will recieve royalties from the song, as well as 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline to raise awareness for the cause.

As I’m sure you’re aware, suicide remains a serious issue in our society, and so many families are affected. As a military wife, I am all too aware of the high suicide rate among veterans. According to the VA, 22 Veterans take their life a day.

A day.

A number I still and will never be able to wrap my mind around.

Kudos to Papa Roach and Carrie Underwood for bringing awareness to such an important cause.

Check out their verison of “Leave a Ligh On” below:

So powerful. And Jacoby Shaddix and Carrie Underwood’s vocals melt together beautifully. I seriously got chills over here.

Just a strong reminder to so many that you are not alone, and there will always be a light on somewhere for you.

If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988, text “STRENGTH” to the Crisis Text Line at 741741 or go to 988lifeline.org.

Lainey Wilson “Out of Oklahoma”

Happy First Day of Summer!

Let’s celebrate with new music from Lainey Wilson, shall we?

Lainey has a new song that she wrote for the upcoming “Twisters” movie soundtrack called “Out of Oklahoma”, and I think it’s one of her best yet:


LOVE IT!

Lainey’s vocals, style, and writing are perfect modern Country, and I am definitely adding this one to my personal playlist.

“Out of Oklahoma” will be featured along with tracks by Luke Combs, Shania Twain, Miranda Lambert, Red Clay Strays and more on the “Twisters” movie soundtrack with comes out the same day as the movie on July 19th.

The soundtrack alone will be worth seeing the movie for!
