Dierks Bentley Shares His Rendition of “American Girl”

/in , , /by

Dierks Bentley shares his new rendition of Tom Petty’s iconic song, “American Girl,” available on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.

There are many artists in music history that are celebrated by today’s best artists. One of those artists is Tom Petty. In the forthcoming tribute album to Petty called Petty Country: A Country Music Celebration of Tom Petty, due out June 21st, country artists are joining forces to pay homage to the many iconic songs Petty has released over the years. Superstar, Dierks Bentley lends his voice to the classic song, “American Girl.”

In a recent press release, Bentley shared “Petty’s southern roots shined through across his songwriting and storytelling. He might not have ever been considered as country, but you can’t go into a bar in Nashville without hearing this song”. Adding, “It is one of the greatest songs in a life’s work of great American songs. The spirit of this woman, the idea of such relentless hope – and disappointment – ignites such a spark. Jon and I were driven to make that feeling of American roots stand tall.”

Bentley recently took to Good Morning America for a live performance of the iconic track. Check out the full performance below.

“Well, she was an American girl // Raised on promises // She couldn’t help thinkin’ that there // Was a little more to life somewhere else // After all, it was a great big world // With lots of places to run to // And if she had to die tryin’, she // Had one little promise she was gonna keep // Oh yeah, alright // Take it easy, baby // Make it last all night // Yeah, she was an American girl”

Bentley’s rendition of “American Girl” pays homage to the classic, while still feeling reminiscent of Bentley’s signature sound. Fans of both Petty and Bentley will appreciate this new rendition!

Brian Kelley: ‘Tennessee Truth’ – Debut Album Review

/in , , /by

Brian Kelley shares his debut album, Tennessee Truth, out now, May 10th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new project below.

When Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard announced the Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum country duo, Florida Georgia Line, would be taking a break so the two could pursue solo careers, Kelley quickly revamped his persona as a “Beach Cowboy” with his release of the tropical Sunshine State of Mind album. The seventeen-track project is an homage to his home-state of Florida, filled with songs about the ocean and the sand. With Tennessee Truth, the diamond-selling superstar returns to his roots with twelve hard-hitting tracks about southern-life. 

“It might’ve been easier to stay in the coastal Country lane,” Kelley admitted in a recent press release, “because that’s what was expected. But I wanted to make music that was all of my life, all the things I love. Because, let’s be honest, the rest of what I’m singing about, lots of people love them too.”

Of the twelve tracks, six of them were previously released, including the country-boy anthems, “How We’re Livin’” and “Trucks, Ducks, Bucks, and Beer,” and the romantic tunes, “Dirt Cheap” and “Dirt Road Date Night.” The record also contains the lead single, “See You Next Summer,” which is Kelley’s highest charting solo release, breaking into the top thirty.

“Girl, I’ve never gone to Jacksonville, Georgia // But after holdin’ you all night, I wanna // ‘Cause this ain’t a margarita, can I get your number // “Meet me by the water” text, hookin’ up // See you next summer”

The album starts off with “Acres,” a catchy tune about how his girl loves having a lot of land to dance, drink, swim, start a fire, and ride around in. The third track, “King Ranch,” covers a similar theme, cleverly calling his wife the “queen of my king ranch.” “Doin’ Nothin’ is a fun, relaxing song about how much the singer enjoys doing nothing with his day.

While most of the album references country life, Kelley also references the beach in tracks like “Barefeet Or Boots” and “10 o’Clock On The Dock.” The former mixes fiddle into a hip-hop beat, as the singer praises how good his girl looks in the sand or in the dirt. The latter is a slow, love song about how serene it is just watching the stars and ocean waves from a dock with his girl. “Goin’ Places” is sexy tune, similar to FGL’s “Talk You Out Of It.” The singer cannot wait until closing time so he and his girl can get some alone time in the bedroom.

The controversial “Kiss My Boots” closes the record. The song is about someone cutting ties with an old friend. Upon its release, many fans speculated that it was directed at his former bandmate. While the lyrics don’t indicate this, Kelley is seen cutting a peach at the end of the music video—the official fruit of Georgia. 

Singers like Kenny Chesney, Jimmy Buffet, and Jake Owen have made careers singing about the beach, and it seemed like Kelley was headed down that road as well. However, the 38-year-old from Florida wanted to show everyone he was still country, and the album undoubtedly proved that. 

“Tennessee Truth has shown me what kind of fighter I am. Music continues to guide my life,” he explained. “These songs are the product of a season of learning, exploring, patience, striving, and hustle…These songs are going to live longer than me. This is my life and my world. I wanted people to feel what I feel.”

  1. Acres

Lily Rose: ‘Runnin’ Outta Time’ – EP Review

/in , , /by

Lily Rose shares new EP, Runnin’ Outta Time, out now, May 10th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new project below.

For rising country star, Lily Rose, the past few years have been a whirlwind of bucket list moments. However, the singer-songwriter found herself getting lost in the pursuit of success. “I really wanted to achieve and keep achieving and came to realize that it’s not the most important thing,” She shares in a statement. “What I need to achieve most is to be a good wife and a good daughter and a good friend — that will keep fueling the fire for the rest of my career.” 

On her new EP, the follow up to her 2021 album, Villain, Rose is honest and vulnerable, reflecting on the goals that mean the most, where she always finds herself returning, and what’s truly important in life. Her lush vocals perfectly accompany an array of country instrumentation on the perfectly crafted collection that is sure to continue her ascension into stardom.

“All I’ve ever wanted to do is write and perform songs just like these. In my opinion, these six songs are the most honest and accurate to who I am as an artist, and it doesn’t happen without a creative village that believes I have something special to say to the world,” The Big Loud recording artist shared on social media.

That “creative village” included the likes of Trannie Anderson, Emily Weisband, Hillary Lindsey, Seth Ennis, and more, who co-penned the collections six tracks, alongside Rose. The result is a stirring and honest body of work.

The Georgia native opens with “The Goal,” a twangy, guitar laden mid-tempo ode to all of her desired accomplishments.  They may range from playing shows to having a song on the radio, but within it all, she realizes that’s not what’s most important. “It took waking up in a quarter life crisis,” She muses. “To figure out what the point of life is.”

“Put family first, but still put the work in //  Live them words in the Sunday sermon //  See a half full glass of Bourbon and make time to go back home // Do what you love, love what you’re doing //  If you say I do, Hell, don’t undo it // Have ‘Good friend, even better human’ // Written on that headstone // Good Lord knows I ain’t there yet but damn is that the goal”

She’s nostalgic on tracks like “Parking Lot” and “True North,” with “Lot” finding her reliving the heyday of her youth, moments that were shared between friends and hard to forget. Likewise, “True North” is a love song to her hometown in Georgia, her inner compass always pointing her back South.

On the confessional “Back Pew,” the singer-songwriter grapples with her spirituality, seeking solace at the back of a church. She may be fifteen minutes late and settling way into the back, but it’s a relatable approach to religion and God that many can appreciate. “At least I showed my face, and showing up here’s the first step…” She admits.  “I got a last ditch prayer for the man upstairs, so Lord would you help me through? Even if I’m in the back pew.”

“Two Flowers” offers a special moment, finding Rose appreciating her uniquely floral name and all that it stands for.  “It wasn’t just some family hand me down ’cause I’m one of a kind // It wasn’t some name from the Bible days, ’cause that ain’t quite my style //  I guess the first time Mama held me, she could see it in my eyes // She named me after two flowers, because I was born to be wild.”

The EP ends with its title track, “Runnin’ Outta Time,” a 90’s-inspired country jaunt about just how fast time flies. “Went to bed at 21, woke up at 29,” She laments, a wistfully playful tone in her voice. “Probably ain’t true but tonight it feels like, I’m runnin’ outta time, for the time of my life.”

While Lily Rose may feel like time is passing her by and she’s Runnin’ Outta Time, this EP proves that she’s only getting started.

Runnin’ Outta Time Track List:

  1. The Goal (Lily Rose, Paul DiGiovanni, Trannie Anderson, Seth Ennis) 
  2. Back Pew (Lily Rose, Emily Weisband, Andy Albert, Paul DiGiovanni)
  3. Parking Lot (Lily Rose, Lindsay Rimes, John Pierce) 
  4. True North (Lily Rose, Trannie Anderson, Hillary Lindsey, David Garcia) 
  5. Two Flowers (Lily Rose, Blake Pendergrass, Paul DiGiovanni) 
  6. Runnin’ Outta Time (Lily Rose, Lydia Vaughan, Blake Pendergrass, David Garcia)

Troy Cartwright shares new single “Get Out Of This Town,” out now, May 3rd, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new release below.

Since going independent, Troy Cartwright has been cranking out music that feel authentic to his true sound and style in country music. His previous releases like “Over You By Now” and “How Smart I Am” were incredible additions to his catalog. Now, the singer-songwriter is releasing another song called, “Get Out Of This Town.”

Written by Cartwright with Seth Alley, Brendan Cooney, and James McNair, “Get Out Of This Town” recounts painful memories, as you try to move on. Throughout the song, Cartwright is putting as many miles as he can between him and the heartache he is trying to leave behind. While the singer is happily married, he manages to tap into the pain and emotions that are all too relatable, when going through heartbreak.

“My whole world’s been a seven mile stretch // Kicking up dreams in the dust // Round here, that’s about as far as you can get // But tonight I’m all gassed up // I’ve saved up every dead end dollar // I’ve got a truck that’ll fly // There ain’t a street there I ain’t been down and it’s got me feeling like // I gotta get out of this town”

“Get Out Of This Town” only ups the ante for Cartwright and his talent. We are excited to see what he has coming down the pipeline next!

A few months ago we introduced you to a new artist that we are loving, Kelsey Hart. Since then, Hart has released a few songs that speak to his growth as an artist. As we await his upcoming album, Life With You, out on May 31st, the singer-songwriter is giving fans another taste of the album. Today, the singer releases an absolute anthem called, “Burn My Summer.”

Possibly a song of the summer, “Burn My Summer” is all about summer love. Through the track, Hart sings about a summer romance that will most likely not last once fall rolls around, but it just does not matter. The new song is catchy, sexy, and fun as hell to listen to!

“You were hotter than a heat wave coming off Tennessee two lane // Hotter than a high-noon sand at a little beach town // You were hotter than a July hood of a jet-black mustang // And somehow you get even hotter when the sun goes down // Baby burn my summer // Take my time // Put a match to it // Set it on a fire // Kiss by kiss // Night by night // ’Til we kiss the whole thing goodbye // Baby, burn my summer”

“Burn My Summer” is one of the most stage-ready songs Hart has released so far. If fans were not excited about his upcoming album before, they will be now!
