Kelly Daniels “The Farrier”

A couple of weeks ago, I had the chance to chat with Country artist Kelly Daniels when he came to town, and he played a song for me called “The Farrier” which was about to drop.

Of course, being a horse girl, I was all ears when I heard that title, and when he played it live, I was NOT disappointed:


For those who don’t know what a farrier is (bless your sweet little hearts) it’s someone who shoes horses, as well as takes care of their hooves.  An “Equine Manicurist” if you will.

The song is based on a true story when Kelly was playing a rodeo, and met a farrier who was hot shoeing a horse, and they got to talking and had a heart-to-heart, and that’s how that song came about.

Pretty cool, right?

Also, here’s my genuine reaction after hearing this song for the first time:

Ahhhh.. this made my heart so happy. Also, the song was released on my birthday, so that makes it extra special, right?

I just wanted to share this song and artist with you, as I think they are worth a listen.

Also, Kelly Daniels’ EP – also called “The Farrier” is out now, so add it to your playlist!

 

Ella Langley “Dandelion”

2026 is Ella Langley’s YEAR.

Earlier this week, Ella announced her sophomore album “Dandelion”, and just released the title track today, and I’m obsessed.

I’ve already played it about a dozen times.

Definitely one of those “Love at first listen” songs:


Absolutely love it.

And damn, do I relate to it!

Ella Langley has it all. Sexy unique voice, mad writing skills, relatable and a total knock-out.

She’s just getting started…

Ella’s new album “Dandelion” drops April 10th, and she’ll be opening for Morgan Wallen this year on his “Still the Problem” tour.

Luke Combs “Sleepless in a Hotel” Room

Luke Combs made his big announcement this morning- his highly anticipated new album “The Way I Am” will be dropping on March 20th, and of course, he has to put out a new single to go with the announcement.

It’s the fan-favorite “Sleepless in a Hotel Room”, and yes, it’s a certified banger.

I mean, of course it is.


Well, damn son.

And there’s his next #1 hit.

Luke says that this could be his best album yet (Really, would he say otherwise?) but if the other songs are as good as “Sleepless in a Hotel Room” it wouldn’t be a lie.

We’ll find out March 20th!

Also, Luke is hitting the road this year with Dierks Bentley and Thomas Rhett on his “My Kinda Saturday Night” tour- get dates here: http://Lukecombs.com

 

Luke Combs “Giving Her Away”

Luke Combs is gearing up for a new album in 2026… and he just dropped a song that you’re going to be hearing at weddings for the next few decades at least.

It’s called “Giving Her Away”, and it’s a fresh twist on your typical Father/Daughter wedding song dynamic:

Well, ok.

Not my contact lenses getting all itchy with tears.

Luke Combs never misses… pretty much everything he outs out hits the mark.

He’s got a big 2026 in store, and you get get tour dates and other info at Lukecombs.com

Carly Pearce “Dream Come True”

Carly Pearce just released an honest and heartbreaking new song “Dream Come True”, and it’s one of my favorite of hers so far.

It’s real, and not only shows off her pure voice, but also shows the not-so-fun side of fame and what actually happens when your dream comes true.

It’s not always fun and games, kids.

Oooof.

Yeah, that one floored me the first time I heard it.

It’s a good reminder that just because someone seems to have it all, you never know the reality of what’s behind the sparkle.

And there is a sacrifice- lots of them- that comes with fame.  We mortals seem to forget that.

Also, Carly is not only incredible live, but also a really cool, fun person.

And we share the same weird trait of double-jointed elbows:

@meganontheradio Turns out @Carly Pearce and I have something really random in common… #carlypearce #countrymusic #countryradio #radio #radiopersonality #doublejointed #coloradosprings #fyp ♬ original sound – Megan Vaughan


I hope this new single means a new album coming soon?

I’ll keep you posted.

Megan Moroney “Beautiful Things”

Megan Moroney is one of the hottest rising stars in Country Music right now, and she is keeping that momentum up with a gorgeous new song called “Beautiful Things”:

I feel like that’s a song most people can relate to.

I know I certainly can… I was pretty heavily bullied at school growing up, then in college, and heck, even as an adult it can happen in the workplace or, anywhere, really.

This song serves as a reminder that you’re a rockstar, and really, those that are picking on you, well, that’s just a reflection on THEM.

Not you.

And to anyone currently being bullied… it DOES get better.

Trust me.

 

That being said, “Beautiful Things” is just a taste of what’s to come with Megan’s new album, which is almost finished.

In the meantime, you can enjoy her latest release- a live album from her “Am I Ok?” tour.

Lakelin Lemmings “Parking Lot”

Ok, this makes my heart beyond happy.

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.

I can’t wait to see where Lakelin Lemmings goes.

Girlfriend has it.

I’m in your corner, girl!

Lainey Wilson “Peace, Love and Cowboys”

Happy Friday!

Lainey Wilson just gave us a new banger with “Peace, Love and Cowboys”, and obvious, I love it.

She’s been teasing this one on social media all week, and it doesn’t disappoint:

I agree.

The world needs more of all of those things.

The track is one of the new songs that are on Lainey Wilson’s deluxe version of her latest album “Whirlwind” out today.

Long Live Lainey!

Zach Top “South of Sanity”

Thank you, Baby Jesus, once again for Zach Top!

Zach burst onto the Country Music scene last year, and has been blazing a trail through all of the bro-Country with his perfect 90’s Country style.

Thank GOD.

His new song, which just dropped this morning, is totally giving George Strait’s “I Can Still Make Cheyenne” and I am HERE for it.

All of it.


Well, now, that’s real Country music, and I’m just thankful for artists like Zach who are bringing that glorious sound back to Country Radio.

We’ll get more of this on his upcoming album “Ain’t in it for My Health” which drops August 29th.

Get more info and tour dates (he’s amazing live!) at https://zachtop.com/

Lainey Wilson “Somewhere Over Laredo”

Lainey Wilson just released a new song, and it’s probably one of my favorites of hers so far…

It’s called “Somewhere Over Laredo”, and it’s inspired by the “Wizard of Oz” classic “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”, yet it takes on a whole new life of it’s own.

Enjoy:

So, it looks like this song will be off of Lainey’s deluxe version of her latest album “Whirlwind”, which comes out August 22nd.

I love it, and I have a feeling that Lainey is just getting started.

She may end up being one of the “Mount Rushmore” Country artists of the future.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all.
