Carly Pearce “Heels Over Head”

I have loved Carly Pearce since she first hit the Country scene, and dammit, I love her even more after hearing this song!

It’s called “Heels Over Head” and was released early this morning.


Yasssss…. that song is a sick burn to someone… possibly to whoever dated her ex-husband Michael Ray after the divorce?  You know Carly loves to write about real life.

Seriously, I love what Carly is doing for the Country genre. True Country music, great songwriting, real-life experiences, and a fantastic voice to tell the story. She’s got it ALL.

Also, expect more music from Carly in the future. She’s been teasing new stuff on instagram, and I can’t wait to hear more!

Chris Stapleton “Think I’m In Love”

Chris Stapleton continues his streak of songs that are straight fire.

The one he just released this morning is another winner.

It’s called “Think I’m I Love With You”, and it’s one hell of a bluesy, sexy groove.

Hot damn, right?

That’s a potential panty dropper right there.

I love the combination he creates mixing the Country, Blues, and Classic Rock vibes.

His new studio album “Higher” drops November 10th, and I can’t wait for more!

Ashley McBryde “Cool Little Bars”

Today’s crop of Women in Country Music is pretty damn amazing.

Ashley McBryde is definitely one of my favorites! An amazing, pure Country voice, fantastic songwriting, and a “realness” that is lacking in the industry… she’s got it all.

Her new song “Cool Little Bars” came out this morning, and yep, it totally delivers.

This song reminds me of all the little bars in West Tennessee and Northern Mississippi that I used to frequent when I was in cover bands. The shadier, the better!

Some of my best nights have been spent at “Cool Little Bars”… at least from what I can remember.

In fact, I first laid eyes on my future husband at a “BYOB” bar called “Southern Comfort” in Horn Lake, MS.

I was wearing a “Jesus is My Homeboy” shirt and was carrying a bottle of Jack Daniels.

Goooood Times….

Ashley’s new album “Devil I Know” comes out on September 8th.

Hailey Whitters “I’m In Love”

One of my favorite newer artists on the Country scene is Hailey Whitters. She’s like Miranda Lambert 2.0- talented, sassy, and the real Country deal. (Fun fact: She was actually Miranda’s body double in her “Fastest Girl In Town” music video)

Hailey had a hit this year already with “Everything She Ain’t” and she just announced a new EP called “I’m In Love” and I’m in love with the title track.

Isn’t that the cutest?

Simple, pure, fun Country.  I love the deer in a rut reference… any Country girl can relate!

I love that Hailey doesn’t sound like anyone else on the radio, and she is the “real deal”.  Iowa born and raised, and a self proclaimed “Corn Star”- I’m here for everything she’s putting out!

She even did a keg stand at her wedding recently. So, basically, my kind of woman!

Her new EP “I’m in Love” comes out July 28th.

Carly Pearce Feat. Chris Stapleton “We Don’t Fight Anymore”

Everyone is collabing with everyone in Nashville, and I am NOT mad at it.

I was looking forward to this combo since I heard it was happening.

Carly Pearce AND Chris Stapleton?

Bring it.

The song is called “We Don’t Fight Anymore” and it’s sad, emotional, and perfectly embodies the quiet demise of a relationship.

I once heard that the opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s indifference.

I couldn’t agree more.

Well done. Carly Pearce and Chris Stapleton!

Buckle up for more collabs this year in Country Music. I’m here for it!

Luke Grimes “Hold On”

Anyone else totally loving Luke Grimes’s new music?

At first when the “Yellowstone” actor (he portrays Kayce Dutton on the show) announced that he was going to try and become a Country singer, I admit, I rolled my eyes a little. Because what actor/actress doesn’t want to be a singer, and vice versa?

But I gave his first single, “No Horse to Ride” a listen, and was impressed.  And he just dropped this new song called “Hold On” and once again, it’s real Country music, and definitely has a cool sound to it.

Yep, another song that would totally fit with the “Yellowstone” soundtrack.

That is, if they ever freaking finish up Season 5! (What the hell, guys???)

In the meantime, Luke Grimes is popping out some great Country tunes, and I’m for sure looking forward to his debut album.

Stay tuned for more info!

Conner Smith Interview and New Single “Creek Will Rise”

Conner Smith is one of the hottest up-and- coming Country acts right now, and his new single “Creek Will Rise” came across my desk recently, so I gave it a listen, and I was immediately hooked!

I’m thinking “Song of the Summer” material for sure.

Plus, Conner was cool enough to call in and chat about the song and all he’s got going on in 2023, including a tour with Luke Bryan!

 

 

 

 

Seriously, I can’t wait to hear more from Conner, and I think he’s got one heck of a future ahead of him as a singer and songwriter.

Tim McGraw “Standing Room Only”

Tim McGraw is just a Country Music staple, and there’s a reason for that. Since the mid-90’s, he has consistently put out great Country music (we’ll just forget about “Truck Yeah”, ok?).  Tim has been promising some new music for the past six months, and he came through yesterday with his new single “Standing Room Only”.

I mean, in the end, that’s all that matter, right?  The impact that you leave behind…

Well done, Tim, and I’m sure we’ll be getting a new album announcement soon!

Luke Grime’s “No Horse To Ride”

If you’re like me, and a huge “Yellowstone” fan, then you’re familiar with Luke Grimes AKA Kacye Dutton.  I’m guessing playing a cowboy on the show has inspired him to try his hand at Country music.  And the result? Not too shabby.

Check out his first single “No Horse to Ride”

It’s not terrible, right? Sounds like something that would be on the “Yellowstone” soundtrack for sure- and I’m just happy he didn’t go the “Bro-Country” route.

He just signed with UMG Nashville, which is a pretty big deal, so we can expect an album soon.  Definitely looking forward to hearing more from Luke!

Luke Bryan “Prayin’ in a Deer Stand”

I’ll be completey honest- not a big fan of most of Luke Bryan’s music.

Luke Bryan himself? Nicest guy ever. Seriously an awesome guy.  But his “Long tan legs, get in the back of my truck, drink from my cup” brand of Country never really gelled with me.  (I mean, what about all the women with short, pale legs? Where’s the love for them?)

Well, he just dropped a song that- due to the title- I had to check out.

My husband is an avid hunter, and he’s said many times that he finds God when hunting.  Hunting isn’t something that I don’t partake in personally, but I do understand and support hunting, and can make a mean venison stew.

It’s funny, when I told my husband this morning about this song, he said “Bet he’s got a girl with long tan legs in cutoff jeans up in that deer stand”, but then I played it for him, and he had to admit that it’s a good song, and that he definitely relates to it.

That’s what Country music is, after all.  Or what it should be, at least.

 

I hope Luke keeps putting out more songs like this!
