The Band Perry New Video for Done

Posted on by

The Band Perry Get A Little Rock and Roll with Video for Done from New Album Pioneer. With their debut, self-titled album, The Band Perry leaned a little folk, and they seemed to be continuing that trend with their most recent single “Better Dig Two.” Before now, I would have said TBP was much more pop country than anything else, but this new single, “Done” from sophmore album Pioneer (releasing Tuesday, April 2nd) is whole other animal indeed. This new track is much more rock and roll oriented than any of their previous work, and it really, really suits them. The new video which premiered only moments ago features the trio in black leather ensembles, giving absolutely everything they’ve got. All three of the siblings, but Kimberly especially, are maturing and growing before our eyes with each new taste of music we get from them. Check out the new song below, and be sure to give the whole album a look as well. Watch: The Band Perry “Done” Official Music Video.

Darius Rucker Wagon Wheel-Video

Posted on by

The Official Music Video For Darius Rucker’s Single, “Wagon Wheel.” Below is the official music video for Darius Rucker’s latest single, “Wagon Wheel.” The song can be found on his album True Believers. I personally don’t rush to turn the volume up when the song starts to play on my local radio stations, but I don’t hate it either. I can’t really put my finger on my issue with Rucker’s version, but something is off for me. It might be that I think this version is a little too soft. If anything that is a compliment to Rucker and his ability to record such an easy listen. Like I said, I’m just not sure. But…whether you like or don’t like Rucker’s version of the hit song, I bet you will enjoy the video! It has several cameos and is just altogether fun! My favorite part is hands down Jase portraying the club’s doorman. Watch “Wagon Wheel” below and tell us what you think!

Kacey Musgraves Merry Go Round Live Performance

Posted on by

Kacey Musgraves Discuss ACM Awards Nominations and Performs Live On The Today Show. Kacey Musgraves stopped by The Today Show last week to promote the release of her amazing new album Same Trailer Different Park. Before her performance she kindly answered the morning show’s clearly clueless anchor, letting him know that country artists don’t really “smack talk” but didn’t shy away from confirming her preference for bluntness (like we didn’t know!). Musgraves performed current single “Merry Go Round,” and did a really great job. Sure, you can hear a little nervousness in her voice, but she handles it like a pro! Watch below. Watch: Kacey Musgraves Performs on The Today Show.

JB and the Moonshine Band The Only Drug-Music Video

Posted on by

The Official Music Video For JB & The Moonshine Band’s Single, “The Only Drug.” JB and the Moonshine Band’s current single, “The Only Drug,” has been on a steady rotation in my head since their sophomore album, Beer For Breakfast, was released in 2012. The song is an easy listen with JB’s voice and the strong instrumentals behind it. The video is an emotional one and had me on the edge of my seat until the very end! I’m not really sure if the boyfriend actually did something wrong or if the three guys in the truck are just thugs. I do know that the guy playing the boyfriend is quite attractive… Watch the video below and request “The Only Drug” at your local radio stations.
