Duuuuudddeeee… I can’t wait to hear more!

Stay tuned!

Morgan Wallen Teases New Music!

As you may know, Morgan Wallen is back in the studio after a banger of a 2023. His album “One Thing at a Time” owned the 2023 Billboard Album Chart, and “Last Night” was the #1 song of 2023 in ALL genres. Not even Taylor Swift pulled that feat off.

So, it’s safe to say that a lot is riding on this next album. His last two have dominated, and he’s giving us a little taste of what he’s workig on.

Here’s a snippet of a song called “Redneck”:

Kind of cool. I don’t see it becoming a massive crossover hit like “Last Night”, but I know his fans will dig it.

Not only is Morgan working on new music, but he’s also hitting the road again in a major way this year.

Go to http://MorganWallen.com for all the info.

New Morgan Wallen “Lies, Lies, Lies”

Morgan Wallen is easily one of the biggest stars on the radio right now- not just in Country, but in Pop as well. His latest album “One Thing at a Time” was released a year ago, and it was the biggest selling album of 2023, and solidified his superstardom.

So, to celebrate such a momentous occasion, Morgan Wallen released a 7 song project called “Abbey Road Sessions” recorded last Fall at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London as a gift to his fans.

And within that project, he released a fan favorite “Lies, Lies, Lies”-  check it out below!

 

Pretty dang catchy, right? I’m it will end up being another #1 hit because, well, it’s Morgan Wallen. He’s pretty much the Taylor Swift of Country music right now.

 

Here are the other songs on his project:

 

“Sunrise”

 

“Graveyard Whistling”

 

“I Deserve a Drink”

 

“I Wrote the Book”

“Everything I Love”

 

“Thinkin’ Bout Me”

Pretty cool, right?  What an iconic place to record. Also, he sounds great.

Morgan is currently working on his next project, as well as hitting the road BIG TIME this year.

Morgan Wallen “Spin You Around” 1/24

Morgan Wallen is at the top of his game.

It seems all the controversy from the past few years has only served to propel his to the top- not just of the Country music charts, but the all-genre charts as well. In fact, Morgan Wallen had not only the #1 overall song of 2023 with “Last Night”, he also had the #1 album with “One Thing at a Time”. Again, this is across ALL the genres, not just Country. Not even Taylor Swift could pull that off this past year.

So, of course, some shady people that Morgan used to work with before he hit it big are going to try to capitilize on that.

Here’s what happened, according to Morgan himself:

Yeah, pretty damn shady, but not suprising, sadly.

So, Morgan pulled a Taylor Swift and re-recorded the fan-favorite “Spin You Around” this week:

Again, the song was written a decade ago, when Morgan was just starting out. It’s not terrible, but you can tell  Morgan has definitely grown as a writer since he put out this song. That being said, I’m sure this song will still be streamed like crazy, because, Morgan Wallen.

Oh, and here he is performing it live in 2015:

The hair is just… no.
Also, Morgan said he is hitting the studio next month to begin working on his next project.

Like it or not, Morgan ain’t going anywhere, and I’m totally ok with that.

I remember meeting him and HARDY a few years back at CRS (Country Radio Seminar) in Nashville at the bar at the OMNI hotel. It was right before they hit it big, and they were drunk as hell and just having a good time with their matching mullets. It’s fun to see how far they’ve come since that night in 2019.

That was only 5 years ago. Dang.

Post Malone Goes Country With Morgan Wallen and Hardy at the 2023 CMA Awards

In case you missed it…

Last night Morgan Wallen, HARDY, and Post Malone teamed up for a medley honoring the late, great Joe Diffie at the CMA Awards.

And you know what?

It was pretty damn cool.

Posty has some Country Chops!

I grew up listening to Joe Diffie, and 90’s Country music in general, and I was all for it.

I know there are some people who have no lives complaining on social media that “That’s NOT COUNTRY”.

Oh, get over yourself, and enjoy the damn music. If that’s what gets your goat, then consider yourself blessed.

Also, HARDY announced his “Hixtape Vol. 3” which whill feature Morgan Wallen and Post Malone, and it features the Joe Diffie covers.

Thomas Rhett and Morgan Wallen “Mamaw’s House”

Yesterday, Thomas Rhett released his Greatest Hits Collection “20 Number Ones”, and there was bonus song on there that’s been getting some attention. Thomas teamed up with Morgan Wallen for a song called “Mamaw’s House”, and anyone who grew up in the Country like I did can definitely releate to this one!

This song reminds me so much of my Mother-in-Law, who, of course, goes by Mamaw, and this song is 100% her.  The song was co-written by Thomas Rhett, Morgan Wallen, Matt Dragstream and Chase McGill.  As I mentioned, it’s included on Thomas’s “20 Number Ones” collection, out now.

Also, I just want to say how happy I am for Thomas Rhett and for all of his success. He’s a great guy, as is his entire family. I remember over a decade ago being at Country Stampede in Manhattan, KS and Thomas was one of the Thursday night openers, and I was backstage talking to his Grandad, who was crazy excited that Thomas was going to perform at a big Country festival like Stampede. He literally came up to me and was like, “You gotta watch my Grandson! I’m so proud of him!” I think this was in 2012…

Well, those Thursday night opening act days are far over for Thomas, as he’s now a headliner! Oh, and he now has his own Greatest Hits Collection. NBD.

It’s going to be a big Fall for Country Music, and this is just the beginning.

 

Little Boy NAILS Morgan Wallen Song

Like him or not, Morgan Wallen is one of the hottest artists out there right now. And lets be real, his music is pretty freaking catchy. It’s ok. You can admit it.

Anyhow, this video has gone viral of a mullet-rocking little boy singing along to “Last Night” and he pretty much nailed it.

I always love videos of kids singing to their favorite songs. It reminds me of me when I was little and would put on full-on performances to Madonna and Paula Abdul.  Sadly (or maybe not!) social media and smart phones weren’t a thing back then.

Anyhow, love the kid’s vibe and his matching mullet with his dad.

I bet this will be my life in the next few years with Brandon, except without the mullets.

 

Travis Denning “Strawberry Wine and a Cheap Six Pack”

So, last weekend I saw Travis Denning live at Boot Barn Hall, and got to hang with him before the show. He’s really one of the coolest, most down to Earth guys you could meet, and he told me he was dropping a new single this morning. He asked me if I wanted to hear it, and of course I did! I mean, duh.

I fell in love with it in the first few beats. It’s called “Strawberry Wine and a Cheap Six Pack” and it’s the perfect Summer Country song!

It’s one of those songs that immediately takes me back to 2002.  Summer, beer, riding backroads and frat boys in baseball caps.  Bad decisions and great memories. Wait… that in itself could be a good Country song title, am I right?

 

Also, Morgan Wallen dropped his new album (36 songs. Woah!) today, and Travis co-wrote Track 5 on it called “Devil Don’t Know”.

Here it is being performed live last week:

Travis puts on one hell of a live show- check out this mash-up!

Yeah, I’m fangirling a bit. But I’ve been a fan since “David Ashley Parker From Powder Springs” and after last week’s show and a drink with Travis, I’m even more of a fan.

 

My Favorite Songs of 2022!

2022…another totally bizarre year.  But what’s great about music is that it’s always being made, and it can put a bright spot into even the stupidest day.

How’s that forbeing profound?

 

Anyway, here are my picks for the Top Songs of 2022… in my humble opinion, of course.

A reminder, I love ALL genres.  Equal opportunity listener right here!

 

HARDY featuring Lainey Wilson “Wait in the Truck”

HARDY is quickly proving himself as one of the hottest songwriters on the Country Music scene, and songs like this is why. Plus, he got Lainey Wilson- one of my fav new artists on it, so 1,000,000 bonus points on that.

His new album drops January 27th, and I can’t wait to hear what he’s got for us!

 

Mammoth WVH “Epiphany”

 

Wolfgang Van Halen is continuing to make his daddy proud.  I think this one may be my favorite of the band’s so far.

 

Beyonce “Cuff It”

I loved Beyonce in Destiny’s Child and her first few years as a solo artist, but then she kind of lost me for a few years. Now she’s back with some fantastic dance songs on her latest album “Renaissance”, and “Cuff It”, although not lyrically a masterpiece, I can’t help but sing and dance really badly to it, so I’d say it’s a win.

 

Boomtown Saints “All Trucks Go to Heaven”

 

I’m calling Boomtown Saints the artists to watch in 2023.  I connected with these guys a few years ago, and it’s been so cool to see them evolve and start making some serious headway in the industry. Ben and Chris are some of the nicest, most deserving guys, and I’m so happy for them both!

Be on the listen for them, and check out my interview with them here:

 

ERNEST featuring Morgan Wallen “Flower Shops”

 

Like it or not, Morgan Wallen is freaking SLAYING the music industry right now, and you know what? Good for him. He got completely cancelled and given a second chance and I’m here for it. I could totally go on a soapbox, but I’ll refrain just now. Anyway, he helped spotlight another great artist ERNEST with this song “Flower Shops”. I loved it the first time I heard it, and it makes me so happy to hear that this sound is trending in Country again.

Thank GOD>

 

Also, I got a chance to chat with ERNEST earlier this year, and he’s hilarious!  Check the interview here:

 

Meghan Trainor “Made You Look”


Meghan Trainor is BACK and I have been singing this song nonstop the past couple of months.  Girl knows how to make an earworm!

 

Kacey Musgraves “Can’t Help Falling In Love”

Kacey Musgraves is life, and she gave a whole new life to this Elvis classic for the soundtrack to the Elvis movie this year.

I know a ton of artists have covered this song, but this is by far one of my favorite versions.

 

Ava Max “Million Dollar Baby”

I love the energy that Ava Max brings to Pop Radio, and her latest single “Million Dollar Baby” is giving major “Flashdance” vives, and I am here for it 1,000%

It makes me want to wear legwarmers and a leotard and burst into dance in the middle of a crowded street.

Maybe after a few glasses of wine that will happen.

You never know.

 

Papa Roach “No Apologies”


I’ve been a Papa Roach fan since the start, and this has been one of my favorite new Rock songs of the year. The sound is great, but most importantly, it’s the message.  I think it’s a song a lot of people needed to hear.

 

Miranda Lambert “If I Was a Cowboy”

Ya’ll know I LOVE me some Miranda, and she did not dissapoint this year. He latest album “Palomino” is fantatstic, of course, and this single is perfection.

“If I was a Cowboy, I’d be the Queen”

Ya damn right.

 

Three Days Grace “Lifetime”

Ughhhh… this song gets me right in the feels.  Just a reminder that nothing and noone lasts forever, so appreciate the heck out of them every. single. day.

 

Cody Johnson “Til’ You Can’t”

 

Cody Johnson broke into the mainstream hardcore with this song, and as he should. I’ve been loving his sound for years, so it was great to see him get all the airplay for this song, and a #1 hit to boot. So well deserved.

It’s another song that hits me in the feels, and also makes me hopeful for the future of Country music.

 

Ok, so those are the songs that spoke to me the most this year.

 

What’s your favorite song of 2022?

 

Megan Moroney “Tennessee Orange”

Ok, so a few weeks back I was posting about Morgan Wallen’s new song “Tennessee Fan” (I’m from the great state of Tennessee. I had to share it- moral obligation)

Well, rumor has it that it’s inspired by this new song by Megan Moroney called “Tennessee Orange”.  According to the rumor mill, they had a thing going for a while, but niether Morgan or Megan would confiem nor deny it.  Either way, it’s a fantastic song!

 

Pretty dang solid. And it’s starting to chart in the Country world, so I’m thinking you can expect to hear a lot more of Megan in the future.  Plus, her name is Megan and spelled correctly like mine, so #respect.
