In case you missed it, Kacey Musgraves released a gorgeous new album celled “Deeper Well” this past Friday, and thankfully is getting back to those Country roots. It was just announced that her song “The Architect” will b the next single released to Country Radio, and all I can say is, they better dang play it.
How beautiful is that?
Pure, simple. deep and just absolutely perfect. I’m definitely going to push for this one. Plus, Kacey is just an amazing artist all-around, no matter what genre she identifies as, but I for one, am so glad she’s back where she started.

Last night, Kacey Musgraves was the Musical Guest on “Saturday Night Live” ahead the release of her new album “Deeper Well”, and of course, she owned it:
Here’s her performance of the title track “Deeper Well”:
And her latest single “Too Good to Be True”:
Kacey is always simplistic perfection with her music and her live performances. There’s something almost hypnotic about her voice, and her overall aura. I’ve never understood why she never got as much airplay as say… Carrie Underwood or Kelsea Ballerini in Country radio. I’ve always advocated for her, and I remember playing the fire out of “Merry Go Round”, “Follow Your Arrow” and “Blowin’ Smoke”, but for some reason they never hit the top of the charts. Not that it matters… Kacey has proven that she doesn’t need twenty number one hits to be a staple. I mean, Florida-Georgia Line had a ton of #1 songs, and let’s be real, they’re weren’t a patch on Kacey’s artistry and talent. Kacey has stood her ground, and has the career longevity (and Grammys!) to prove it.
I’m excited for her next chapter, in which she returns to her Country roots. Her album “Deeper Well” drops March 15th.
Carly Pearce just announced her fourth studio album via Big Machine Label Group! I figured it was coming soon, as she wiped her instagram clean this week- always a good indicator that something is coming.
The new album is called “hummingbird” and is out June 14th. And the title track is absolutely STUNNING:
How gorgeous is that?
I was immediately transported into another world with that song. It’s one that brings it’s own imagery, which is one of my favorite things that a song can do.
Here’s what Carly put on her instagram to tease the song:
I love that so much. It seems like Carly is coming through the tough times beautifully, and I can’t wait to hear the full album
You can also catch her on the road with Tim McGraw this Spring/Summer on the “Standing Room Only” tour, and you can find the dates at http://carlypearce.com
Kacey Musgraves just released her second single off of her upcoming “Deeper Well” album today- I wasn’t expecting i until tomorrow, but hey, I’m not mad at it!
And of course, the song is beautiful, like every other song she releases.
It’s called “Too Good To Be True”, and it’s about the glow of an early relationship when everything is perfect, and you’re waiting for that oher shoe to drop, so to speak:
I just absolutely love her voice. So simple and pure, as is her music.
Her new album “Deeper Well”, in which she returns to her Country roots (good!)- comes out March 15th. Kacey also just announced her “Deeper Well” world tour, and you can get dates and other info at http://kaceymusgraves.com
Both she and Justin Timberlake are releasing new albums on March 15th.
One of the big stories from last night’s auditions is Loretta Lynn’s granddaughter Emmy Russell took to the stage to perform an original song that she wrote about eating disorders.
Of course, she was fantastic, because she’s got Loretta Lynn’s legendary blood running through her veins.
Ok, I know “American Idol” is totally staged, like all “reality” shows. Believe me, I know these things. But still, I always enjoy watching great talent and stories, and I just find Emmy very likeable. It’s refreshing to see someone seemingly authentic, unlike so many out there. Plus, Emmy was a Christian missionary travelling the world before returning to music, whcih I have mad respect for.
Of course, she made it to the next round. I might actually have to tune in now and see how she does!
Posty is going all in on his Country Music career!
First off, he was definitely giving that Country sound during his performance of “America the Beautiful” prior to the Superbowl last week. And now he’s teasing a collab with Country superstar Luke Combs!
And you know what? It’s sounds like it will be pretty good:
I can’t wait for the full song to drop. I’m sure it won’t be long since he’s teasing it.
Honestly, I’m not mad at about artists in other genres trying their hand in Country music. I wish people could be more open-minded about it. Country isn’t just about beer, trucks, heartbreak, and tan legs in cutoff jeans… ok that’s a lot of it, sure. But it’s a story. It’s genuine emotion and a lifestyle… three chords and the truth and all that. You don’t have to be a redneck from the hills of Kentucky to get it right. And what if someone wants that lifestyle later on? If they choose the country over the city like my parents did in 1992? Is that not ok?
Keep an open mind, kiddos.
Anyhow, I’m looking forward to “Country Posty”.
If nothing else, he may bring a whole new fanbase to the genre, and that’s not a bad thing.
Lainey Wilson is on FIRE and there ain’t no hosing that girl down.
Fresh off of winning her first Grammy, Lainey just dropped a new song called “Country’s Cool Again”, and it’s catchy, Country perfection!
Lainey can’t miss right now, and I loved that song as soon as I hit play. It’s fun, autobiographical, and factual… Country IS cool again. In fact, I don’t think it’s ever been hotter, except in the early 90’s when Garth Brooks was setting the world on fire. Country music is HUGE right now, and being a “country girl” myself, growing up on the genre, and working in Country Radio, I couldn’t be happier. And I am so proud that we have amazing artists like Lainey on the forefront.
Lainey is hitting the road this year, and she’s hella good live. Get info and dates at http://laineywilson.com
Speaking of live music, here’s Lainey debuting “Country’s Cool Again” at Red Rocks last Fall:
