Ella Langley is quickly becoming one of the best new Country artists on the Nashville scene, and this version she just released of the Toby Keith classic “Wish I Didn’t Know Now” proves why she’s here:
Oh damn girl…
I’ve always loved this song (90’s Toby Keith was IT), and Ella made it her own, and seriously, this should just go on and be a radio single.
Up-and-coming Country artist Lakelin Lemmings- who just happens to be from my hometown of Henderson, TN, just released a new single, and… it’s perfect.
Even better? The music video takes place in my Alma Mater Chester County High School’s parking lot!
This song totally nails small-town teenage life on the head.
Check it out!
Ok, LOVE the song. Her voice is fantastic, expressive, and has that true Country sound. The production (and the video!) are great as well.
Growing up in Henderson, TN and hoping to move back when my husband retires, this gives me all the feels.
The parking lot was where it was at 25 years ago when I was in high school, and I’m happy to see that some things never change.
I remember driving my parents’ Chevy Dually blaring Kid Rock’s “Devil Without a Cause” Dr. Dre, and Britney Spears, and always taking 2 spaces to park.
Living all over the country as an Army wife and radio personality, I can honestly tell you that there truly is no place like home.
Zach Top- one of the most promising up-and coming Country artists that actually sounds like (gasp!) Country- just dropped the official Summer Country banger.
It’s called “Good Times and Tan Lines” and it’s almost a carbon copy of Alan Jackson’s 90’s Summer Smash “Chattahoochie” and that’s not a bad thing.
Enjoy:
Such a fun song, and again, total Alan Jackson vibes, and that’s ok.
Country music needs more of this.
Zach Top’s new album “Ain’t In it For My Health” drops August 29th.
Oh, and last year, I had the chance to interview Zach right before he blew up, and he’s an absolute doll.
I am so happy for all of his success… well deserved!
Unless you’ve been under a rock or something, you’re probably aware that Morgan Wallen’s new album “I’m the Problem” dropped today.
It’s huge, too. 37 songs… lots of collabs, of course, but I have to say my favorite so far?
One of the few actually Country songs on the album.
It’s Morgan and his friend and frequent collaborator ERNEST with “The Dealer”:
I like that a lot… kind of a new spin on Kenny Roger’s classic “The Gambler”.
Now, I haven’t had time to listen to the full album yet, as I have a job and a life and stuff… and 37 songs is a bit excessive in my opinion. But so far, it’s a lot of pop-leaning Country (no surprise there) and a really terrible song called “Miami” which is inspired by the late, great Keith Whitley’s “Miami, My Amy” that noone asked for.
Still, the album does have some big hits and solid songs on it, and with 37 songs, it’s hard for them all to be bangers.
And, let’s be real, it’ll be the biggest selling album of the year.
So, clearly, Morgan and his people know what they’re doing.

Morgan Wallen is gearing up to release his new album “I’m the Problem”, which comes out one week from today (May 16th). He’s been dropping tracks off of it for months, and the latest offering off of the upcoming 37 song project is his first song that addresses his son Indigo, and it’s one I think may dads (and moms) can relate to.
Check out “Superman”:
Damn. That’s a good one. Much better than songs like his biggest hit “Last Night”.
I love that he keeps it real and admits his mistakes, which, let’s be real, we all make them. His mistakes are just magnified as he’s one of the biggest names in music. He’s human, and at least he seems to be trying to stay on right track this time.
Again, Morgan Wallen’s new album “I’m the Problem” drops May 16th, and you know it’s going to be the biggest album of the year, like it or not.
Morgan is also hitting the road with an all-star lineup this year, and you can get the dates and info here: http://morganwallen.com
One of the big Country Music-centric websites Theboot.com just released a list of the “Saddest Songs in Country Music”… like any list that’s not research-based, it’s totally debatable.
Let’s see what you think!
1. “Go Rest High on That Mountain” by Vince Gill
2. “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” by Willie Nelson
Pretty solid list, but it’s also blasphemy that “Whiskey Lullaby” by Brad Paisley and Allison Krause didn’t rate in the Top 10. Or… what about Garth Brooks “The Dance”? Or Miranda Lambert’s “Tin Man” to name a few???
Lainey Wilson- one of my favorite artists right now- dropped a new Country banger called “Bell Bottoms Up”. It’s the theme song to her new bar in downtown Nashville by the same name, it’s as fun and Country as she is!
Aw, I love it! So much fun.
I’m so happy for Lainey Wilson and all of her wildfire success these past few years.
Girlfriend has earned it.
She’s on the road and doing all kinds of fun things in 2025.
