I’m going to be honest. I wasn’t really feeling Kelsea Ballerini when she first came out with her debut single “Love You Like You Mean It” in 2015. Of course, that was when Bro/Pop Country was at it peak. With songs like “Love Me Like You Mean It” and “Hey, Boy”, I was underwhelmed. But Kelsea has really grown so much as an artist and songwriter, and her latest release “Sorry Mom” shows how far she has come:
As someone who has a really close relationship with her mother, and who has done some dumb things that I know she didn’t approve of, this song is something I can truly relate to. And I know so many other women (and I’m sure men, too) will relate. After this and her collab with Noah Kahn “Cowboys Cry Too”, I’m really excited to see what she has in store for us on her upcoming album “Patterns” out October 25th.
I don’t know about you, but I’m getting real excited about the upcoming Post Malone Country album “F-1 Trillion”, which comes out next Friday, August 16th.
Posty just put up a teaser to the latest collab- one with Tim McGraw called “Wrong Ones”, and it’s totally giving a “Real Good Man” vibe.
I have been waiting for this since Lainey Wilson and Miranda Lambert performed it in Vegas back in December.
Earlier this morning, Lainey and Miranda dropped a new song called “Good Horses”, and it’s everything I had hoped for.
I mean, really, how can you go wrong with these two?
PERFECTIIOn.
“Good Horses” was written by Lainey Wilson and Miranda Lambert alongside songwriter Luke Dick.
Everything about it, I love. The lyrics, which as a horse woman and a woman who has been hapily married for seventeen years to a man who has never tried to fence me in, speak to me on so many levels. And yes, a good horse will always come home. It knows where the hay is. Being a military wife, and someone who always likes to do my own thing and have my own life as well, this song is both me and my husband. We will always make our way back home to each other, no matter what. No need to keep each other in a round pen.
Kudos to Lainey and Miranda, not for just a beautifully written song that is nothing like what is on Country radio just now, but also for the gorgeous vocals.
“Good Horses” will be on Lainey’s upcoming album “Whirlwind” which will be out August 23rd.
Miranda Lambert performed a new song of hers live for the first time ever in concert over the weekend- it’s called “Alimony” and it’s the PERFECT divorce song, and so perfectly Miranda:
First off, how great is she live?
Secondly, how fun is that song? Kind of a spicy twist on divorse. Of course, after her husband was seen grinding on some bachelorettes at Miranda’s Nashville bar recently, some thing this song is her answer to his behavior.
I don’t think so… because he’d be the one getting alimony, not Miranda.
Either way, super fun song, and it’s got me even more hyped for her upcoming album on Republic Records!
Morgan Wallen gave fans something to celebrate this Fourth of July weekend.
He just released a fan favorite called “Lies Lies Lies”, and if you haven’t heard it, it’s kind of a banger, like most of Morgan Wallen’s catalogue.
SUCH a good song, and I totally get why is super fans wanted him to release it.
It was originally a part of Morgan’s “Abbey Road Sessions” in London, and his fans have been begging for an actual studio recorded release, and he delivered.
The song is written by Jessie Jo Dillon, Josh Miller, Daniel Ross and Chris Tompkins, and if it goes to radio, I’m betting it’ll be another #1 for Morgan.
There is NO stopping this guy.
Unless, you know, he has another few scandals… but so did most of the greats in Country music.
Morgan Wallen is currently slaying it on his “One Night at a Time” staium tour, and you can get those dates at http://MorganWallen.com
Thomas Rhett just dropped his contribution to the upcoming “Twisters” move soundtrack, and it’s a total throwback to the 90’s Country Glory Days.
It’s called “Feelin’ Country”, and it’s definitely my favorite song that Thomas Rhett has released in the past couple of years:
Totally getting Travis Tritt “TROUBLE” vibes off this. Plus, with Thomas Rhett’s daddy being 90’s Country star Rhett Akins, well, the 90’s sound comes honestly.
The “Twisters: the Album” comes out the same day as the “Twisters” movie on July 19th, and the talent on this album is next level. Here’s the full track listing:
Luke Combs – “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma”
Miranda Lambert – “Ain’t in Kansas Anymore”
Conner Smith – “Steal My Thunder” (feat. Tucker Wetmore)

Also, Thomas Rhett has a new album coming out on August 23rd called “About a Woma”, so we have that to look forward to as well.
Miranda just released her new song “Dammit Randy”, and it’s classic Miranda.
It’s the perfect “moving on” song, with a mix of sass and emotion that Miranda is known for:
Love!!!
I actually like this better than her new single “Wranglers”, which came out recently.
Miranda is working on her new album with her new label Republic Records, and it will obviously feature “Wranglers”, “Dammit Randy”, and a collab with Lainey Wilson called “Good Horses” which I cannot WAIT for!
Stay tuned, and in the meantime, stay in the know with Miranda’s music and tour dates at http://MirandaLambert.com
Sorry, Taylor Swift. Your buddy is bringing out the big guns with his upcoming Country album “F-1 Trillion”- not only has he released collabs with Morgan Wallen and Blake Shelton, but now he’s teasing a new track with none other than the badassery that is Chris Stapleton.
He put a small clip of the song on instagram to get us ready:
So far, I am loving what Post Malone is doing. One of the comments on the video is that Post Malone is assembling the “Country Avengers”, and that’s a pretty damn accurate statement.
I’ll be honest, I was skeptical at first when I heard that Post Malone was coming over the Country side. But he’s owning it, and I am realllllly looking forward to “F-1 Trillion” which will be out on August 16th.
Also, he has announced his tour dates following the album’s release, and you can get those at http://PostMalone.com
