ERNEST has teamed up with one of my favorite artists Miranda Lambert for a collab that is Country to the core.
Sadly, you can’t say that about a lot of Country music these days, but this you can.
The song is called “Another Thing to Love” and, yes, I do love it:
Really, though, you can’t go wrong with Miranda involves, am I right?
Also, ERNEST is one of the hottest up-and-comers in the industry, and has several hits under his belt with collabs like “Flower Shops” and “Cowgirls”, both with Morgan Wallen, and his songwriting game is strong.
Yeah, you’ll be hearing from him for a while, which is a good thing.
Check out his latest release “Cadillac Sessions” out now, and get info, tour dates, etc. at ernestoffical.com
Kelly Clarkson just made Friday that much better by giving us a beautiful new song called “Where Have You Been”
Unlike a lot of her music as of late, this song is actually positive and uplifting, and was actually inspired by a scene in the tv show “Only Murders in the Building” where Martin Short’s character said “Where have you been?” in wonderment to Meryl Streep’s character.
Kelly thought it was the sweetest thing, so she wrote a song inspired by the scene:
Isn’t that pretty? I think this is definitely one of my favorite songs that Kelly has released in a long time.
It’s also off of her new label “High Road Records” and I’m guessing we’ll get a new full-length album soon.
I’m going to be real honest here… although I have always loved Blake Shelton, I haven’t been a fan of his past few releases. Not since “God’s Country”, at least.
Well, he just dropped a new track off of his upcoming album “For Recreational Use Only” written by Drew Parker, Graham Barham, Sam Ellis and Beau Bailey called “Stay Country or Die Tryin'”, and I’m kind of digging it:
Now, this version of Blake takes me back to the “Ole’ Red” days, which is a good thing.
I know non-Country peeps will roll their eyes at the song and title, but I get it.
I grew up in rural West Tennessee, and plan on returning to the farm as soon as my husband retires from the Army. I miss that world and that life. And I get it- if you have never lived it, you’ll most not likely not get it. But fun fact: there’s a huge world in between the major metros that lives this.
Having lived in both worlds, I’m ready to go back. This song reminds me of those I grew up with, and my husband and his family. Also, my daddy had a John Boat that came in handy when our roads would floods when the Forked Deer river overflowed. And we have the American flag flying and perhaps not a Boone Crockett deer on the wall, but there are some pretty solid 8-10 points on the wall, and a ton of turkey beards.
Don’t hate.
Blake Shelton’s new album “For Recreational Use Only” is out on May 9th.
One of the big Country Music-centric websites Theboot.com just released a list of the “Saddest Songs in Country Music”… like any list that’s not research-based, it’s totally debatable.
Let’s see what you think!
1. “Go Rest High on That Mountain” by Vince Gill
2. “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” by Willie Nelson
Pretty solid list, but it’s also blasphemy that “Whiskey Lullaby” by Brad Paisley and Allison Krause didn’t rate in the Top 10. Or… what about Garth Brooks “The Dance”? Or Miranda Lambert’s “Tin Man” to name a few???
One of my all-time favorite Southern Rock bands- Lynyrd Skynyrd- teamed up with Jelly Roll for a pretty solid rendition of “Tuesday’s Gone” as a part of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s upcoming album “Celebrating 50 Years-Live at The Ryman”.
Now, “Tuesday’s Gone” is one of my absolute favorite songs of all time, and this was, in my opinion, a pretty cool performance of it:
This song hits me deep in my soul every time.
One of my core memories is being 21, front row at a Skynyrd concert at Skullbone Music Park in Skullbone, TN.
June 4th, 2004.
Me and my best friend Erica singing this song at the top of our lungs in the pouring rain…
It doesn’t get better than that.
“Celebrating 50 Years- Live at the Ryman” will be available on June 27th, and I can’t wait for the rest!
Lainey Wilson- one of my favorite artists right now- dropped a new Country banger called “Bell Bottoms Up”. It’s the theme song to her new bar in downtown Nashville by the same name, it’s as fun and Country as she is!
Aw, I love it! So much fun.
I’m so happy for Lainey Wilson and all of her wildfire success these past few years.
Girlfriend has earned it.
She’s on the road and doing all kinds of fun things in 2025.
The Pop Superstar just dropped the first track off of his upcoming album “Play”, and it’s super fun and catchy.
Check out “Azizam”:
Well, that was fun! Ed said that he wanted to create a dance/party song that had Irish and Persian folk music influences, and he definitely delivered.
“Azizam” means “my dear” or “my darling” in Farsi, and I am loving the creativity and the different cultural influences that Ed put into the song.
“Azizam” is off of Ed Sheeran’s upcoming album “Play”, which will be out sometime this year, as will the official music video for “Azizam”.
One of my favorite things about Ed Sheeran is not only his incredible scope of talent, but the fact that he can pretty much do any kind of music, and you never know what he will come out with next.
Miley Cyrus just dropped the title track off of her upcoming album “Something Beautiful” today, and hot damn, it’s really, really good.
It’s very sultry, unique, and totally Miley:
Soulful and rockin’ at the same time.
I love it.
Ok, real talk: I wasn’t a Miley fan for a long time, but she has really risen above all the controversy, and has totally proven herself as a true artist and vocalist, and is now one of my favorites.
Also, how awesome does she look these days?
This song is getting me pretty jazzed for her new album “Something Beautiful”, which comes out May 16th.
