Blake Shelton Footloose Video

Posted on by

Check Out Blake Shelton’s Rendition of the Classic Footloose! Word on the street has it that when Blake Shelton was approached to get involved with the new Footloose project, he was asked to contribute a song of his own, and Blake responded he would only participate if he could have the title track. I have to say, I sure am glad he put his foot (no pun intended) down about that! Blake’s rendition of the original Footloose song is just as firey and fun as the original, but with a little extra Shelton-esque umph added to the mix. This version definitely has a little more twang than original, and it’s definitely an improvement. See if you like Shelton’s version as much as I do. Watch the Video Here!

Toby Keith Red Solo Cup

Posted on by

Toby Keith Releases Video for Hilarious and Silly Song, Red Solo Cup Toby Keith has released the video for his track, “Red Solo Cup“. This extremely silly song is an ode to the always helpful party drink receptacle, THE red solo cup. The video follows Keith around at a party as he points out the positives and negatives of the red solo cup as he demonstrates his obviously close relationship and bond with this plastic cup. He even points out why the red solo cup is preferable to the less popular blue and yellow solo cups! I think my favorite part of the video might be the cameos, especially that of Princess Leia. That’s right, I said Princess Leia. Guess you’re just going to have to watch the video to see what in the world I’m talking about. Enjoy (I know you will.) Check Out the Video Now!

Posted on by

Lauren Alaina Releases Debut Album and Choose Second Single! Lauren Alaina‘s album, Wildflower releases Tuesday, October 11th! This is the American Idol runner-up’s much anticipated first album, and the creation of it seems to have been a great experience for Lauren. “Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed of releasing my own album. I can’t believe the day is here! I am excited to share it with the fans who have been supporting me throughout my journey. I hope they enjoy listening to this record as much as I did making it.” -Lauren Alaina The album features Alaina’s debut single, “Like My Mother Does” as it’s title track as well as the second single she has chosen to release, “Georgia Peaches“. The second single will impact radio on October 24th. As a Georgia native, this song has special meaning for Lauren. It seems Lauren is apt to choose music she can connect to directly since her first single illustrated her relationship with and respect for her mother, and this second one relates to her roots. This shows promise for such a young talent, in that she has already proven herself capable of choosing music that represents her as an individual instead of a marketing gimmick. Alaina will be getting the word out about her release with several appearances and performances which are listed below. Most notably, she will be performing at The Grand Ole Opry on October 22nd which will be aired on Opry Live on GAC at 8pm ET. Stay tuned for a detailed review of Wildflower! Lauren Alaina Upcoming Appearances and Performances: Oct. 8 – Interview feature on E! News, Entertainment Tonight, CNN, Good Day L.A., and CMT Insider Oct. 11 – Interview feature on GAC “On The Streets” Oct. 11 – Good Morning America, performing “Georgia Peaches” and Live!

Dolly Parton New Single

Posted on by

Dolly Parton Releases Second Single Off “Better Day” Album. Dolly Parton has chosen the second single off of her recently released “Better Day” album. This album is the fourth release off of her own Dolly Records. The track is titled “The Sacrifice“, and deals with themes of working hard to fulfill ones hopes and dreams and what that can cost someone. “’The Sacrifice’ is another song that is just so, totally, me. I think it’s so totally everybody that has a dream and desire to be successful, and in order to be successful we have to give up things that we’d rather not. But if we’re not willing to make that sacrifice usually we don’t see those dreams come true.” -Dolly Parton Dolly is currently in the second leg of her U.S. tour dates, which kicked-off Friday, October 7th in Cedar Park, TX and will wrap in Florida on October 18th. Then Dolly will be heading to Australia for tour dates for all of November!

Stoney LaRue At George’s Majestic Lounge

Posted on by

Stoney LaRue Visits George’s Majestic Lounge For The First Time Since The Release Of His Newest Album. Stoney LaRue was welcomed with open arms by his fans this past Wednesday at George’s Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville, Ar. This was his first performance at the venue since the release of his latest album, Velvet. The show, as usual, was phenomenal! The crowd sang along word for word to his classics (“Idabel Blues“, “Feet Don’t Touch The Ground“, “One Chord Song“, “Down In Flames“, etc.) and danced with excitement to the beat of the new tunes! It’s hard to narrow down a single favorite part of the night at any Stoney show, but especially this one! I really enjoyed hearing the new material for the first time live and of course belting his time-honored songs with the best of my abilities! Obviously being an Oklahoma native, I thoroughly enjoyed “Oklahoma Breakdown” (written by Mike Hosty) and couldn’t get enough of “Te Amo Mas Que La Vida“! If he would have sang that song three times in a row I wouldn’t have minded. LaRue will be hitting the Wormy Dog Saloon tonight in OKC and then will travel to Nacogdoches, Tx Saturday. His new album is available now on iTunes! Velvet Track Listing 1. Dresses 2. Wiregrass 3. Look At Me Fly 4. Travelin’ Kind 5. Sharecropper 6. Sirens 7. Te Amo Mas Que La Vida 8. Has Been 9. Way Too Long 10. Velvet 11. Travelin’ Kind (Acoustic) Here is a video that features LaRue performing “Velvet” on an acoustic guitar! [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouKgYXI7sWQ]

Kellie Pickler Tough Video

Posted on by

Kellie Pickler Releases Video for Single Tough. Kellie Pickler has released the video for her most recent single “Tough” that was released over the summer. The release of this single marks Pickler’s first musical release since 2008, and the wait was well worth it. “Tough” is a strong song about a strong woman. The music is upbeat and sassy with well-written lyrics to match. I am happy to report that the video definitely lives up to standard set by the song. There is a fair amount of hip shaking and sexy prancing around by Pickler, but not to the point that it is detrimental to the message. She really does embody a strong, country gal who has made the best of the lemons life has thrown her way. Also, she manages this just fine all on her own. I certainly hope that the rest of the music on the album “Tough” belongs to is just as strong as this initial single. Check Out The Video for “Tough” Now!

Matt Stell & The Crashers

Posted on by

Let’s Get To Know Matt Stell & The Crashers! Matt Stell is a tall guy with a killer voice looking to play loud music for whoever will listen! Although he has been recording music for the past few years, he has started a new adventure with a fresh new band! Darren Barry (guitar), Cliff Aaron (drums) and Eric Williams (bass) make up what is The Crashers. They are all really enjoying the ride and are excited to see where it takes them! I recently had the opportunity to sit down with band after getting to peek in on their sound check before a show in Fayetteville, Arkansas where the guys opened up for the Eli Young Band. It is hard to pin point exactly what genre this band fits in, there is a bit of everything. I like to call it the rockin’/soulful/smooth/blues/country/story telling genre. MS&C really puts out a sound that is like no other. They all love what they’re doing and you just have to see them perform one song to see that. Cliff Aaron was the first to say that music picks you more than you pick it and the others were quick to agree! “You have to love to play music whether your making money or not” -Aaron Everyone in the band also agreed that they couldn’t picture themselves doing anything else. The combined amount of time put into this craft by these men is quite impressive. Another thing that is impressive is Stell’s songwriting capabilities. He has had a hand in penning all of his songs for the last two records in some way or another. One thing he is adamant about is writing about things he knows. If people can relate to a song, then that is just a bonus! “Vestibule Blues“, is the title track of the album and a song that Stell is pretty proud of. The lyrics speak about a specific church from Stell’s childhood and brings us back to the reason we have funerals in the first place. Stell spent a good amount of time doing radio tours for his single “Robert Tatum” and it is currently in the 50s (call in to request it!). The band is looking to release their next single pretty soon, but still making the final decisions on what it might be. There are a couple front runners but my vote would be “Break Me Down” or “Piney Woods“, so be looking for a new song to hit the radio! The band will be playing the Great Arkansas Pig Out in Morrilton this Friday, September 30. Jason Boland & the Stragglers and the Turnpike Troubadours will also be there. This is about as close to their hometown festival as it gets, so come out, eat some good food and listen to some great music! If you can’t make it to that show have no fear, head on over to www.mattstell.com and find a performance near you! Vestibule Blues Track Listing 1. Break Me Down 2.

Eric Church Drink In My Hand Video

Posted on by

Eric Church Releases The Music Video For His Latest Single “Drink In My Hand”! It’s no secret that I am a fan of Eric Church! His latest single and music video, “Drink In My Hand“, highlights just how much his fans are into him! Although I would say the video doesn’t show a very wide variety of people who show up to his concerts it is a perfect example of the energy that goes on during a performance! The follow up to “Homeboy” is definitely more party “friendly” and is the perfect song to jam to at any point in the day! “Drink In My Hand” is the second single released from his third studio album, Chief, that came out this summer. The album is a great one that I highly recommend! “Springsteen“, “Over When It’s Over“, “Keep On” and “Hungover & Hard Up” are just a few of my favorites! My advice to you: go get yourself a drink and watch this brand new video!
