I’ve been waiting for this release. Miranda Lambert is easily one of my favorite artists, and her new single “Wranglers” is similar to some of her earlier releases. Kind of like a sequel to her first hit “Kerosene”- at least that’s the vibe I’m getting.
I dig it!
I love the sassy, crazy side of Miranda. And what I really love about her as an artist is that she really sells her songs. Like, you can totally see Miranda setting fire to her dude’s Wranglers when she’s pissed. On the flipside, when an artist like, say, Carrie Underwood puts out a revenge song, I just can’t see her doing the things she sings about. Miranda, on the other hand, absolutely!
She’s like a modern Tanya Tucker.
Wranglers should really use this song in an ad promoting their durability.
Hopefully, we’ll get a new album announcement soon! She did just recently sign with Republic Records, so you know it’s gonna be happening.
Miranda Lambert has been teasing her new single “Wranglers” for the past couple of weeks, and last night at Stagecoach, and halfway through the 22 song set, she busted out her new single “Wranglers” for the first time!
I am SO excited for this new single, which drops this Friday, May 3rd. And since Miranda signed with Republic Records recently, it’s a safe bet we’ll get a new album soon.
Oh, but you know what ELSE happened?
Miranda surprised fans again when she did a 3-song medley with Reba McEntire!
I don’t know f I can handle all of this badassery.
Chris Stapleton just released his contibuton to the upcoming Tom Petty Country Tribute album “Petty Country” and it’s everything and more I hoped it would be.
Chris was tapped to sing “I Should Have Known It” and it’s all the badassery you could want:
I love that it has that strong Southern Rock vibe that Chris does so well.
Then again, I’m pretty sure Chris could sing… I don’t know… bubblegum Pop and sound stellar.
Hm. Maybe he should prove that?
Maybe he should do a Britney Spears tribute?
He would make it work.

Motley Crue is moving on from Mick Mars with their first recording with new guitarist John 5 with their new release “Dogs of War”.
Now, I love me some Motley Crue. Especially the “Theater of Pain” and “Dr. Feelgood” eras.
And I was kind of excited when I heard the opening guitar riff, thinking, “Oh, heck, this could be good”. And then there was kind of a letdown aferwards.
I mean, it’s not horrble. But Vince Neil’s vocals are super distorted (probably because his singing isn’t up to par, and hasn’t been for years), and it reminds me of bands that were trying to hard to be “hard” in the late 90’s/early 2000’s.
At least, that’s the vibe I caught from it.
That being said, kudos to them for keeping the Crue Train rolling, and I’m looking forward to more new music from them. They just signed with Big Machine, so I have a feeling some good stuff could come from that.
Miranda Lambert is getting ready to srop some fiery new music, and I am HERE for IT!
First of all, Miranda is one of my all-time favorites, and she just signed with Republic Records and is going to release a new somg called “Wranglers” next Friday, May 3rd.
It looks like it’s going to take more than three Felony charges to slow Morgan Wallen down…
After getting arrested – again- this time for throwing a chair off of the rooftop Eric Church’s bar in downtown Nashville a couple of weeks ago, Morgan Wallen is back on the road, and really, not missing a beat.
He has since apologized, but it still remains to be seen if the charges will stick.
Really, Morgan is just a dumb drunk. That’s what it boils down to. A lot of Country stars have done waaaaayyyyy worse. But still, it was messed up, and I’m hoping he has learned his lesson.
Probably not.
But one can hope, right?
Anyhow, back to the music…
Morgan was at Ole Miss over the weekend, which is like Ground Zero for his fanbase, and he debuted a new song called “Lies Lies Lies” live and it sounds awesome:
Last Fall, we lost the icon Jimmy Buffett, and since then, there have been so many fantastic tributes to the legend.
His music has touched so many lives over the decade, and his legacy will always go on.
The latest tribute that has me all in my feels is The Zac Brown Band’s “Pirates and Parrots” with Jimmy Buffett Coral Reefer bandmate and collaborator Mac McAnally:
Ok, I may have a little tear on my eye after that…
The Zac Brown Band have a busy year wih their joint tour with Kenny Chesney,
Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated new album “The Tortured Poets Department” is here, and Swifties are losing their damn minds.
First of all, it’s a surprise double album, as Taylor dropped an extra 15 songs at 2am, which is cool.
And naturally, there’s a song about curren beau Kansas City Tight End Travis Kelce on there (duh) called “The Alchemy”:
“Where’s the trophy? He just came running to me.”
Well done, Tay Tay.
Also, the lead single off of the album is “Fortnite” featuring Post Malone:
So, yeah, you’ll be hearing that ALL over the radio.
Now, I’m not what you would call a “Swiftie”, but I do respect and admire Taylor and what she has done in her career. A lot of her music isn’t my cup of tea, but she does have some great songs that will forever have a spot on my permanent playlist (hello, “Wildest Dreams”!). I think Taylor is an incredibly impressive woman, and definitely a great role model.
So, play on Taylor, and keep kicking ass and taking names.
