New music – “Texas” by Blake Shelton. It’s been over two years since Blake has released new solo music. And Blake credits Post Malone for getting him back in the studio again. Their song, “Pour Me a Drink”, was such a big hit that it makes sense that Blake wants to record more music.
A while back someone asked Miranda Lambert who was on her Mount Rushmore of country music. And she named Emmylou Harris . . . George Strait . . . Merle Haggard . . . and Willie Nelson. Koe Wetzel was just asked a similar question, but this time he didn’t have to limit it to just country. He said Kurt Cobain . . . George Strait . . . Frank Sinatra . . . and Eminem.
Kelly Clarkson put a country spin on Sabrina Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” during one of her “Kellyoke” performances this week. The best part is that she added more of an OLD-SCHOOL country feel to it. She said, “Ever since I heard this song, for some reason, I hear like Dolly Parton singing it as well . . . it lends itself to country for me, so I asked my band if we could make more of a country version.”
