Kristen Kelly Ex-Old Man Video

The Official Music Video For Kristen Kelly’s “Ex-Old Man.” I have to say right off…I’m obsessed with this song! Kristen Kelly’s “Ex-Old Man” is her current single and below is the official video for it. Kelly is currently on Brad Paisley’s Virtual Reality Tour. Although Kelly is what we call the new guy (gal), I believe she could potentially be one of the next big things! Hey, if Paisley backs you, you’ve got some talent! In her other song “He Loves To Make Cry,” she really showcases a voice that could stop people in their tracks! Again, “Ex-Old Man” is gold in my book! I know there are too many women who are going to relate to this song, but maybe listening to it will be a form of therapy? Let’s hope so! WATCH Kristen Kelly’s “Ex-Old Man” Official Video Now: [youtube:www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDpvzCzwHjk] Check Out The Web-Video Version Too! [youtube:www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz5Rhhp-c5M]

Kenny Chesney Come Over Video

The Official Music Video For Kenny Chesney’s Latest Single, “Come Over.” “Come Over” is Kenny Chesney’s latest single. The song alone is amazing, but adding the video to the mix just made some country music fans even happier! Chesney is pretty good at creating music that people can connect with and this time is no different. Let’s get real…everyone has that person that others don’t approve of, but you still have them “come over.” To put it best, “Come Over” is steamy! That’s really all I have to say about. Listen to the lyrics, you’ll hear the steam. Watch the video, you’ll see it! So do it. Watch the video now!

“Corn Star” Is Craig Morgan’s Latest Single. Craig Morgan is very excited to release his second single from This Ole Boy. “Corn Star,” written by Shane Minor and Jeffrey Steele, is a rockin’ up-tempo smash that is sure to become a summer anthem. The tongue-in-cheek tune colorfully describes the town’s hottest catch “…with a bag of seed on her suntan shoulder, cut off jeans and a tight tank top with a big red mower on it…She’s a CORN STAR.” Fans are all ears for the song, as it has quickly become a live show favorite. “Corn Star” is the follow up to Morgan’s Top 15 hit and title track “This Ole Boy.” The New York Times describes the song as one that ‘prizes a certain kind of woman, not the kind you’d meet at the corner of Hollywood and Vine,‘ while 4 A Song shares it’s about a ‘True country girl who hauls her own seed, drives her own tractor and takes the ribbons at the county fair.‘ News of the latest single comes on the heels of announcing the season 3 premier of Craig Morgan’s award-winning TV show, “Craig Morgan: All Access Outdoors.” Starting July 1, viewers can catch Morgan every Sunday night at 11pm (EST) on the Outdoor Channel.
