This is How You Cover a Song

Slash and Chris Stapleton Cover Fleetwood Mac’s “Oh Well”

Well, this was a pleasant surprise this morning.

Slash and Chris Stapleton just released a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Oh Well” and it’s absolutely killer.

I mean, really, how can you go wrong with Slash and Chris?

Simple. You can’t.

Seriously, how badass is that?

The collab is off of Slash’s new solo project “Orgy of the Damned” which comes out on May 17th.

So, basically, Slash shredding as he does, with dfferent vocalists on each song, like his last solo project.

Sounds pretty damn promising.

Also, Chris Stapleton will be the musical guest on “Saurday Night Live” tomorrow night, with Ryan Gosling as the host.

If they don’t do a version of “I’m Just Ken”, I’ll be sorely disappointed.

Carly Pearce “My Place”

Carly Pearce just released another beautiful break-up song… that’s kind of her thing, of course. Creating beauty out of pain.  If you’re a fan of hers, you know she’s in the aftermath of a divorce from fellow Country star Michael Ray, and she is ending that chapter with a new album called “hummingbird” due out later this Spring. And to get us ready for it, she released a new song off of it called “My Place”, which was written by Carly, Shane McAnally, and Josh Osbourne:

Yup, another winner from Carly.

Except I wouldn’t have left the good wine in his bar. Rookie mistake.

 

“hummingbird” drops June 14th, and Carly is currently on the road with Tim McGraw- get the dates at http://carlypearce.com

Post Malone Teases More New Music!

Post Malone is such a dang tease…

As we all know, he’s going Country (I mean, who isn’t these days?) but at least he’s been wanting to make the move for years- it’s not just because it’s the cool thing to do right now.

Anyhow, he’s been in Nashville working with some big names lik Morgan Wallen, ERNEST, Luke Combs and Billy Strings to name a few, and has been teasing us with clips of his new stuff on social media for weeks now.

His latest tease?

Here ya go:

Anyone else ready for the real thing?

I have to admit, I wasn’t a big Post Malone fan until a few years ago.

He has really impressed me lately with his talent, and his laid back attitude. He honestly seems like a super fun guy.

As per usual, stay tuned…

Beyonce and Miley Cyrus “II Most Wanted”

Beyonce released her new album “Renaissance Act II: Cowboy Carter” yesterday, and there are some pretty cool songs on there.

First, let me remind you that Beyonce isn’t “going Country”. She released a Country-ish album because she can. Just like how Dolly Paron released a “Rock” album last Fall. Because why the heck not?

And really, those who are making hateful comments… well, you’re just proving her point on how some close-minded Country fans can be. Not all, mind you. But a lot. Also, that negative attitude isn’t a good look, but hey, you do you.

That being said, this duet she released with Miley Cyrus called “II Most Wanted”, and it’s a really cool track:


First of all, I like that it’s a proper duet- not just a feature artist on a single line or verse.

Second, I love the feel of the song. And it reminds me of the relationship that I have with my husband of almost 17 years- I love being his shotgun rider through life, and this song makes me think of that.

It just has a cool, chill vibe, and I really enjoyed it.

That’s what music is about, right?

Something that you enjoy listening to and moves you.

Have a great weekend!

Beyonce “Jolene”

Beyonce’s highly anticipated “Renaissance Act II: Cowboy Carter” dropped this morning, and what I wanted o hear was her take on Dolly Parton’s iconic “Jolene”, and Beyonce delivered and then some.

She went a rewrote the song from a much stronger woman’s perspective- basically going from the plea “Please don’t take my man” to “Just you try, fool”.


Personally, I think it’s a really cool take on the song. I know Country traditionalists will be freaking out and saying “that ain’t Country” and blowing a total fuse when they hear it. I can feel the heads exploding over here.  But, let’s be honest, Dolly’s version, although a classic, is basically a woman begging another woman not to take her man. That’s dumb. First of all, her man should know better. Second of all, why beg a woman to stay away? You’re giving Jolene all the power. Tell that redheaded hussy to go ahead and try.

This is probably why I’m not a songwriter.

Just in case you need a refresher, here’s the original version:


And really, who is dumb enough to mess with Dolly?

 

Which version do you prefer?

Dolly’s classic, or Beyonce’s hot take?

Zac Brown Band “Tie Up”

The Zac Brown Band is getting us ready for Summer!

They released a new single called “Tie Up” and it’s inspired by Zac Brown’s favorite place to “tie up” and relax in Lake Lanier, GA.

Now, I’m not a huge boat/beach person- that’s my brother’s thing.  I’m more of a farm/mountain kind of girl, but having spent some time on boats on the lakes of West TN in my teen years, I totally understand the sentiment.

The Zac Brown Band said they wanted to release a feel-good Summer anthem, and I think they delivered!

The ZBB will be kicking off a huge Summer stadium tour wih Kenny Chesney, along with Megan Moroney and Uncle Cracker, and you can get those dates at http://zacbrownband.com
Also, really digging the addition of Caroline Jones to the band’s line up. An absolutely fantastic musican and vocalist, who just so happens to look like a supermodel.

Rude.

Megan Moroney “28th of June”

Megan Moroney is quickly becoming one of my favorite new artists on the Country Music scene.

Her sultry voice, combined with her stellar songwriting skills and bombshell looks, make her one you can’t miss- in a very good way!

Earlier today, she released a new song called “28th of June”, and it’s the perfect heartbreak song:


Ahhhh! Definitely a gutwrencher. I love that her lyrics are simple, relatable, and almost every song could be a radio single.

Well done, once again, Megan!

She is reportedly working on her new album, and she is on the road this year with Kenny Chesney on his stadium tour this Summer, which means her star will only rise.

Good.

Pearl Jam “Running”

Happy Friday!

How about Punk Pearl jam to make it even better?

Pearl Jam just released the 2nd song off of their upcoming album “Dark Matter”, and holy cow, they weren’t kidding when they said they were going for a harder sound on this record.

I am LOVING it!


Again, I was never the biggest Pearl Jam fan in the past. I mean, no disrespect, but I just didn’t vibe with their sound (except for “Better Man”- GREAT song), but I have to say, I am definitely digging their harder sound. Reminds me of their early days as a band. I am so glad they are bringing that sound back, and I can’ wait to hear more.

“Dark Matter” will be released April 19th via MonkeyWrench Records/Republic Records.

Yep, Post Malone is for real going Country.

Morgan Wallen Teases New Music!

As you may know, Morgan Wallen is back in the studio after a banger of a 2023. His album “One Thing at a Time” owned the 2023 Billboard Album Chart, and “Last Night” was the #1 song of 2023 in ALL genres. Not even Taylor Swift pulled that feat off.

So, it’s safe to say that a lot is riding on this next album. His last two have dominated, and he’s giving us a little taste of what he’s workig on.

Here’s a snippet of a song called “Redneck”:

Kind of cool. I don’t see it becoming a massive crossover hit like “Last Night”, but I know his fans will dig it.

Not only is Morgan working on new music, but he’s also hitting the road again in a major way this year.
