Tim McGraw “King Rodeo”

Tim McGraw’s catalogue is seriously one of the biggest soundtracks to my childhood.

And at 58, he’s showing no signs of slowing down on the hits with his new song “Dear Rodeo”.

It was just released as a live version from the inaugural Music City Rodeo earlier this year, and it’s giving some “Desperado” vibes:


Damn, Tim is good live.

And I think that song is one of his best yet. Giving me some chills over here.

The song is likely part of the Bull Riding TV series that Tim was supposed to be a part of, but then he had a bunch of major surgeries this year that took him out of the project.

Hey, at least we got this killer song from it, so it’s not a total loss, right?

As far as Tim’s recovery from the surgeries, it looks like he’s doing well, and he was seen last week going into a recording studio (and rocking a shaved head, too) so I’m guessing more new music is on the horizon?

Stay tuned!

Chappel Roan “The Subway”

Damn, Chappel Roan keeps ’em coming!

Last night, she dropped a new ballad called “The Subway” with a really cool video to match.

I’m really loving this song, and it’s haunting, 90’s inspired sound:

Damn, this woman is so talented.

I love how her songs are perfect Pop, with a unique twist.

She’s a total breath of fresh air on the music scene, and I can’t wait for more!

 

Luke Combs “Back in the Saddle”

I’ve been waiting for this…

Country superstar Luke Combs just made Friday that much better with his highly anticipated new single “Back in the Saddle”.

He’s taken some time to spend with the family before dropping some new music- which I totally respect.

Check out “Back in the Saddle” and it’s pretty damn cool, and so is the video:

If that doesn’t get you fired up, well, that’s a you problem.

Also, Luke’s voice is just next freaking level.

Stay tuned for more announcements from Luke in the future… pretty sure we have another major album and tour for 2026.

 

Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton “A Song to Sing”

I figured this would be good… I mean, with Miranda Lambert AND Chris Stapleton, how could you go wrong?

I honestly didn’t expect a 70’s style vibe, but I’m digging it.

Check out “A Song to Sing”:


Total retro vibes, and I’m here for it.

Can we get more, please? Can Chris Stapleton just go on a collab with every artist on the planet?

Alex Warren and Rose’ “On My Mind”

It being Friday, there’s a lot of new music dropping, and this duet by Alex Warren and Rose is really catching my attention.

It’s called “On My Mind” and I’m thinking it will be in heavy rotation on Top 40 and AC radio stations soon… as it should be:


The more I listen to it, the more I love it.

Alex Warren is currently spending his third non-consecutive week on top the Billboard Hot 100 with “Ordinary”, so this is the perfect time to release this collab.

Honestly, there are some really great artists and songs on Pop Radio right now, and I’m loving it!

Megan Moroney “6 Months Later”

Megan Moroney is on fire!

She’s easily on of the hottest Country stars out there right now, and for a few weeks she has been teasing a song called “6 Months Later” on her socials, and she released it this morning.

Enjoy!

I love her sound, and her songwriting skills are on point.

Megan says she’s about “80 percent done” on her next album, and it’s safe to say it will be a hit.

Women are killing the game in Country Music, and I couldn’t be happier.

Zach Top “Good Times and Tan Lines”

Alan Jackson, that you?

Zach Top- one of the most promising up-and coming Country artists that actually sounds like (gasp!) Country- just dropped the official Summer Country banger.

It’s called “Good Times and Tan Lines” and it’s almost a carbon copy of Alan Jackson’s 90’s Summer Smash “Chattahoochie” and that’s not a bad thing.

Enjoy:

Such a fun song, and again, total Alan Jackson vibes, and that’s ok.

Country music needs more of this.

Zach Top’s new album “Ain’t In it For My Health” drops August 29th.

Oh, and last year, I had the chance to interview Zach right before he blew up, and he’s an absolute doll.

I am so happy for all of his success… well deserved!

Miley Cyrus “Easy Lover”

Miley Cyrus is unstoppable.

Her new album “Something Beautiful” dropped this morning, and so far, what I’ve heard is pretty damn fantastic.

Her new single is a freaking jam- check out “Easy Lover” below:


Honestly, I was hoping it would be a cover of Phil Collins and Phillip Bailey’s “Easy Lover”, but alas, it’s not.

 

Remember this gem?

 

Anyhow, Miley’s “Easy Lover” is almost just as catchy, and I can’t wait to hear the rest of the album today.
Again, I’ll admit that I barely tolerated Miley for the better part of a decade, but she has completely proven herself as one hell of a pop artist and vocalist.

Oh, and her album has a movie to go with it, and will be in theaters one night only on June 12th.

Here’s the trailer:

I low key want to see this…

Miley is KILLING it!

Lainey Wilson “Somewhere Over Laredo”

Lainey Wilson just released a new song, and it’s probably one of my favorites of hers so far…

It’s called “Somewhere Over Laredo”, and it’s inspired by the “Wizard of Oz” classic “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”, yet it takes on a whole new life of it’s own.

Enjoy:

So, it looks like this song will be off of Lainey’s deluxe version of her latest album “Whirlwind”, which comes out August 22nd.

I love it, and I have a feeling that Lainey is just getting started.

She may end up being one of the “Mount Rushmore” Country artists of the future.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all.

Kelly Clarkson “Where Have You Been” Kellyoke

Last month, Kelly Clarkson released a stunning new song called “Where Have You Been”, which I feel like it’s one of the best new releases of 2025 so far, and naturally, she had to perform it on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” for her popular “Kellyoke” segment, and of course, it’s gorgeous:


Kelly’s voice knows no bounds.

Hopefully we’ll get more new music from her in 2025… I really feel like this is one of her best songs of her career so far.
