New Song of the Week: 5-21-22

Lainey Wilson is quickly becoming one of my favorite female artists in Country music. Her voice is absolutely perfect for the genre, and is totally unique- you know who it is as soon as you hear her. She already has a couple of #1 hits on her hands with her debut single “Things a Man Ought to Know” and her collab with Cole Swindell “Never Say Never”, and I’m pretty sure “Heart Like a Truck” will be her third.

I mean, we can all releate, right? Love the horse themed music video, too. Although I wondered why she finally rode the horse in a soaking wet round pen at night, but that’s neither here nor there (same goes with how they were introducing the saddle pad… ) but that’s just my horse girl self…

Anyhow, I love me some Lainey Wilson and I’m so happy Country music has her!

New Song of the Week: 6-21-21

I’m quickly becoming a fan of Gabby Barrett.

At first I thought, “Oh, yay, another Idol contestant. Ok…” But she is quickly earning her spot in Nashville and on both Country and Top 40 radio. Her first hit single “I Hope” was a crossover smash, but I have to say, I like her new single “Footprints on the Moon” even better.

Since the song is just getting released, there’s no music video yet- just a live performance video. Call me cheesy, (because I totally am) but I love songs that motivate, and this one totally does. I can see it being a sports anthem or something like that. Being a woman who has had to prove herself time and time again, and have done things I was always told I couldn’t do, I definitely relate to this song.

Heck, these days, we can all use some motivation, right?
