Morgan Wallen Feat. ERNEST “The Dealer”

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 “Superman”

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

 

Are These The Saddest Songs in Country Music?

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

3.  “I’m So Lonely I Could Cry” by Hank Williams

4.  “The Grand Tour” by George Jones

 

5.  “Summer’s End” by John Prine

6.  “D-I-V-O-R-C-E” by Tammy Wynette

7.  “Elephant” by Jason Isbell

8.  “Crazy” by Patsy Cline

9.  “Concrete Angel” by Martina McBride

10.  “I’m Not Gonna Miss You” by Glen Campbell

Check out the full list at https://theboot.com/ixp/204/p/happiest-saddest-songs-country-music/

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???

That’s NOT ok…

 

What is your go-to sad Country song?

Lainey Wilson “Bell Bottoms Up”

Well, this made me all kinds of happy.

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.

HAPPY FRIDAY!

HARDY and Nate Smith: Nobody Likes Your Girlfriend

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.

Both HARDY and Nate Smith are on the road this year, and you can get dates and info at https://hardyofficial.com/home/ and https://www.natesmithofficial.com/.

Also, having seen HARDY live before, I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed.

 

Riley Green “Worst Way” Music Video

Is it hot in here?

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.

Bad call.

 

Morgan Wallen “I’m the Problem”

As promised, Morgan Wallen released his new single “I’m the Problem”- the title track to his new album- this morning.

And yeah, it’s pretty damn good:


Seriously, Morgan has the Midas Touch these past few years, and if he can keep himself out of trouble, who knows how far he can go?

He’s got a new album and tour coming, and you can stay up to date with all he’s got going on at http://morganwallen.com

Love him, hate him, or even if you’re not a huge Country fan, you kind of have to admit that he’s got something.

I can’t put my finger on it, but he has it.

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!

Morgan Wallen Teases New Music!

Christmas has come early for Morgan Wallen fans.

Yesterday, Morgan teased a snippet of a new song he’s working on, allegedly called “Since You Got Gone”, and it’s probably his next #1 hit.

Check out the clip he shared on instagram below:

A post shared by Morgan Wallen (@morganwallen)

As Morgan mentioned, it’s just a rough demo at this point, but it sounds like something you’ll be hearing on Country Radio nonstop in the next year, so get ready.

Morgan is currently working on his next project, and is heating up the charts right now with “Love Somebody”, and I’m thinking there’s no slowing down for Morgan anytime soon. Especially as those felony charges got dropped recently- that could have been a problem.

Hopefully, he slows down the partying, and just keeps on making good music.

2025 is likely to be another massive year for Morgan Wallen, and for Country Music in general, just like this year.

Bring it!
