Jelly Roll shares a new reimagined version of “Save Me” with Lainey Wilson, out now, May 11th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.
As we await his upcoming album Whitsitt Chapel, due out June 2nd, Jelly Roll continues to give fans a taste of what’s to come. At the ACM Awards last week, Jelly Roll took to the stage with ACM winner, Lainey Wilson to debut their new duet, “Save Me,” out now.
While the ACM Awards were full of incredible performances, Jelly Roll and Wilson delivered one of the most unforgettable performances of the night. Already a fan-favorite, “Save Me” is an introspective song that begs the listener to listen with their whole heart. The reimagined version of Jelly Roll’s track adds Wilson for a duet we never knew we needed! Both artists are about to catapult to superstardom!
“They say my lifestyle is bad for my health // It’s the only thing that seems to help // All of this drinkin’ and smokin’ is hopeless // But feel like it’s all that I need // Somethin’ inside of me’s broken // I hold on to anything that sets me free // I’m a lost cause // Baby, don’t waste your time on me // I’m so damaged beyond repair // Life has shattered my hopes and my dreams”
It is clear that 2023 is going to continue to be a massive year for both rising artists. “Save Me” is just another example of incredible storytelling in country music.
Jelly Roll shares new song with Lainey Wilson, “Save Me,’ ahead of upcoming studio album.

HARDY and Lainey Wilson go number one at country radio this week with their song “wait in the truck.” Learn all the details here.
The second HARDY and Lainey Wilson released the iconic murder ballad, “wait in the truck,” everyone knew that it was something special. It was just a matter of time before the song shot to number one on the country charts. Today, “wait in truck” is officially the number one song at country radio.
This marks HARDY’s second number one at country radio as an artist and also the second number one for Wilson. It is also worth mentioning that HARDY’s song “JACK” also recently went number one at rock radio, his first artist number one that is not a collaboration.
Together, the singer with Wilson brought an incredible story to life. “wait in the truck’ is chilling, honest, and raw. It is the true epitome of an incredible country song.
“I don’t know if he’s an angel // ‘Cause angels don’t do what he did // He was hellbent to find the man behind // All the whiskey scars I hid // I never thought my day of justice // Would come from a judge under a seat // But I knew right then I’d never get hit again // When he said to me // Wait in the truck // Just wait in the truck”
Both HARDY and Wilson are on the cusp of superstardom. The two artists are always unapologetically themselves, and have cultivated dedicated fanbases that are ride or die for them. “wait in the truck” is an incredible feat for the twosome!

In honor of the 60th Anniversary of The Rolling Stones, country music is celebrating with a tribute album called Stoned Cold Country. Country artists celebrate the legacy of The Rolling Stones through fourteen distinct covers of some of their greatest hits. Last year, Brothers Osborne and The War and Treaty gave their best rendition of the classic, âItâs Only Rock âNâ Roll (But I Like It) and Elvie Shane shared his rendition of “Sympathy For The Devil.” Today, Country superstar Lainey Wilson lends her voice to the iconic classic, “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.”
One of the more popular songs in The Rolling Stones’ impressive catalog, Wilson gives the song the spotlight and the sass that it deserves. Her rendition is spot-on vocally and will appeal to fans both in and out of the genre.

Recent CMA winner, Lainey Wilson makes her acting debut on the season 5 premiere of hit show, Yellowstone. Get all the info here!
On November 13th, the hit show, Yellowstone returned to the silver screen to share more about the lives of the Dutton Family and the drama surrounding their Montana Ranch. This season we will also be seeing country musicâs very own Lainey Wilson in a recurring role on the show!
On premiere night, the songstress-turned-actress made her acting debut as Abby, an artist who performed at the celebration party for the newly-elected Governor of Montana, John Dutton (Kevin Costner).Â
It was surely a bucket-list week for the âThings a Man Oughta Knowâ singer who just days before the Yellowstone excitement, took home New Artist of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year at the 2022 Country Music Awards. Tune in to Yellowstone weekly to catch Wilson on the show and learn more of the details and developments of her character, Abby.Â
The season 5 two-hour premiere saw John Dutton sworn in as the new Governor of Montana. Reluctant and more or less forced into the position that even he confirms should have been his son Jamieâs, John is not thrilled about what the next four years will look like, to say the least. Unhappy with staff members that were chosen for him because he didnât want to choose them himself, and unaware of policies that he has so-called âagreed withâ, he is quick to make drastic changes in his early days as governor. As cut-throat as you could assume and in classic Dutton fashion, John quickly makes it clear – to the public who may assume, but quite literally to his own family – that he is going to do what is right for the Ranch, first and foremost.
As reluctant as he may be, there would be no getting around the party to celebrate the successful campaign. Even though John sees the night as work, lucky for the Ranch hands, the party is held right in their backyards. Here for the open bar but not the formal dining, the Yellowstone ranch hands sneak off with other ranch hands they ran into and had some fun of their own. In some friendly competition demonstrating their lasso skills, they manage to attract a crowd of on-lookers.Â
This is where we first see Lainey Wilson as Abby. Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) decides to have a smoke as she watches the boys, and as she notices Abby enjoying what sheâs seeing – she asks âis that one yours?â as she gestures to Ryan (Ian Bohen). Abby comes back saying none of them are hers, because sheâs too smart to date a cowboy – but she still likes to look at âem. Her reasoning? Theyâll always love the lifestyle, the job, the horse more, and she wants to be first. As we know Beth does not agree, she soon after walks away and says sheâs going to go see her cowboy now.
When Beth walks away, Ryan takes his chance to walk over to Abby. Before he can even get a word in, she tells him âit ainât gonna workâ. He is quick to charm her and she ultimately agrees to âjust one danceâ, which by the looks of it, she didnât hate. Thatâs all we see of Abby in the premiere after she and Ryan dance among the others as Shane Smith & the Saints play âDance the Night Awayâ on stage. Abby is set to perform later, and while we donât get to see her performance in this first episode, we have a feeling we will have the opportunity to real soon.Â
Lainey Wilson revealed that the shows creator, Taylor Sheridan, created the role âjust for herâ. Sheridan had included the music of both Wilson and Shane Smith & The Saints in the series, prior to each of their appearances on camera this season. Later, Sheridan invited Wilson out to Vegas to play a horse-riding competition and the two bonded over horses. Thanks to the unique design of Abbyâs character, Wilson says she essentially gets to play herself on the show. While we have only had a taste of Wilsonâs character, we can not wait to see what is in store for Abby in this season of Yellowstone, from her music to her romance with Ryan. Â
As far as the rest of the Duttons, Beth and Rip are seeing less and less of each other with Beth having been on the campaign trail with John and now promoted against her will to his Chief of Staff. Rip is left to clean up yet another mess of the ranch hands when they seemingly followed his orders to rid the fields of wolves that were attacking their cattle, but instead they shot and killed wolves from the park, on the now governor’s land, mere days after he is sworn in. Knowing that the radio collars need to stay moving to avoid alerting park workers, Ripâs plan to send them down the river on tree branches in the hope that they eventually fall off on their own downstream, fails when one gets caught riverside not too far away. The episode ends with viewers seeing this, so we can expect that this problem is long from over. The same goes for the Duttonâs feuds with both the reservations’ Tribal Chairman Thomas Rainwater and Market Equities CEO Caroline Warner.Â
Meanwhile, Kayce and wife, Monica attempt to cope with the loss of their child – who survived all but 10 minutes in the world, as a result of a head-on-head collision when the then-pregnant Monica was driving herself and their elder son Tate to the hospital as she was experiencing excruciating labor pains three weeks ahead of her due date.Â
Be sure to catch the next episode this Sunday, and continue to follow along to see what Abby is up to each week.

Country music is home to many incredible singer-songwriters and superstars. Artists like Carrie Underwood, Luke Combs, Eric Church, and more have taken home the coveted Entertainer of the Year award at country music award shows like CMA Awards and ACM Awards. Over the years, Country Swag has confidently predicted future winners and Artists to Watch long before their nominations. As Awards season approaches, we thought it would be fun to share five artists that we believe are future entertainer of the year winners. Check out our list below.
Russell Dickerson
It has been evident since day one that Russell Dickerson is an absolute superstar. He finds a way to connect with fans through his music, making everyone want to root for his success. In his young career, Dickerson has broken records, as his singles consecutively find their way to the top of the radio charts. “Love You Like I Used Toâ is even tied officially with Lonestar’s âAmazedâ as the longest-running top-ten single in radio history. It is only a matter of time until he is nominated for the coveted award!
Morgan Wallen was primed for superstardom back in his “The Way I Talk” days. While his career has been turbulent at times, his stardom has not wavered. After a widely successful tour and a record-breaking sophomore album, it appears that Wallen is closer than ever to the Entertainer of the Year award. He even finds himself with a nomination this year! Will he take it home? Tune in to the CMA Awards on Wednesday, November 9 at 8/7c on ABC.
Lainey Wilson is an absolute force in country music right now! Her brand new album, Bell Bottom Country is already one of the most talked about records of the year. In her young career, she has already garnered an impressive crew of diehard fans, an army of songwriters and artists who believe in her, and an incredible future. We believe, she will be up for Entertainer of the Year sooner rather than later!
When Thomas Rhett tells you he believes in someone then you know they are worth paying attention to! Conner Smith is that person and after meeting him back in 2021 for our NYC Live Sessions, we were quickly belivers ourselves. At just 22 years old, Smith is quickly building a fanbase that is obsessed with everything he puts out. He is a songwriter wise beyond his years, has undeniable charisma, a stage presence worthy of  EOY noms, and his songs are the right mix of catchy and prolific. Give it some time and everyone will know who Conner Smith is!
Already one of the best songwriters in country music, HARDY is on the brink of superstardom. He can truly do no wrong! HARDY carves a space for himself everywhere he goes. His signature country-rock sound is resonating with fans across the world, and his live show is like no other. Mark our words, HARDY will be an Entertainer of the Year winner in the umping years.

Lainey Wilson’s new album, Bell Bottom Country is out now, October 28th on all streaming platforms. Take a listen and read our full review below.
From the opening chords of âHillbilly Hippie,â itâs clear that Bell Bottom Country is not your typical modern country album, in the best way possible. Thereâs twang and soul, rock and revival, creating a unique sound that immediately invites listeners in, letting them know theyâre about to experience something special.
ACM New Female Artist of the Year Lainey Wilson has firmly embraced her own style which she describes as âcountry music with flare.â On her sophomore release, Bell Bottom Country she exemplifies that description. âIâve lived quite a bit of life the past few years, and I have a lot more to say,â she reveals. âSure, I love a good pair of bell bottoms, but Bell Bottom Country to me has always been about the flare and what makes someone unique â I have really embraced mine, and I hope yâall can hear that across this project.â
On the rising superstarâs second album, she is exposing her various sides, both lyrically and musically. Here, the Louisiana native is tender yet rowdy, sweet yet gritty, and honest yet vulnerable.Â
On songs like âRoad Runner,â âAtta Girl,â and the previously-released âHeart Like a Truck,â sheâs a runner struggling to stay in one place, dealing with the heartbreak that comes with big dreams, proclaiming âI gotta chase the sunrise to keep the tumble in my weed.â Meanwhile, both âAtta Girlâ and âHeart Like a Truckâ find her down but not out, with a heart thatâs a lot stronger than it may seem.
âI got a heart like a truck // It’s been drug through the mud // Runs on dreams and gasoline // And that ole highway holds the key // It’s got a lead foot down when it’s leaving // Lord knows it’s taken a hell of a beating // A little bit of love is all that it’s needing // But it’s good as it is tough // I got a heart like a truck.â
The singer-songwriter embraces a good time on songs like âHold My Halo,â âGrease,â and âThis Oneâs Gonna Cost Me.â âGreaseâ is a funky doo-wop-laden jam, while âHold My Haloâ has hints of âRedneck Woman,â mixing driving guitars with a powerful girl-power-infused anthem. Here, Wilson is ready for an evening that would make an angel blush, breaking out the denim, and leaving a little lipstick on a Solo cup. âGonna tear up this town, like a drunk tornado,â She growls. âLight it up, Tell that angel inside of me to hide her wings and lay low, hold my halo.â
On âWeak-Endâ sheâs dealing with a broken heart, while âWatermelon Moonshine” is a bittersweet ode to young love. While the former is a mournful yet clever take on the drunk dial âWish that Friday wasnât just another way to say lonelyâ), the latter recalls first drinks, first loves, and first times.
âToo young to know what love was // But we were learnin’ on a sweet buzz // There’s never nothin’ like the first time // And mine’s always gonna taste like // Watermelon moonshineâ
With “Those Boots (Deddy’s Song),” the thirty-year-old pays homage to her father, who has left big âbootsâ for a future husband to fill. As of late, the song has become all the more meaningful to the singer, who nearly lost her father earlier this year to a fungal infection that caused him to have a stroke and lose an eye.
Likewise âMe, You, and Jesus,â âLive Offâ and âWildflowers and Wild Horses” find Wilson tipping her cowboy hat to her country life, her faith, and her upbringing. âWildflowersâ is a dusty ode to the way she was raised, proclaiming, âIâm five generations of blazing a trail,â while âMe, You, and Jesusâ shows Wilson finding solace with two important men in her life. âWhen the world comes between us, Yâall donât give up or give a damn,â She sings on the clever song of love and faith. âYou just take me for who I am, We can get through anything, And baby we make one hell of a team, Me, you and Jesus.â
In recent months, there have been multiple female acts (Ashley McBryde, Pillbox Patti, Miranda Lambert) releasing gritty, soulful, and unabashedly country albums, and Lainey Wilsonâs Bell Bottom Country is yet another release that proves the best country music might just not be found on the radio.

The brand new Country Goes Reggae album featuring artists like Dolly Parton, Jimmie Allen, and more is out now, July 22nd. Listen to the unique new project below.
In an exciting and unprecedented collaboration, country musicians such as Dolly Parton, Jimmie Allen, Toby Keith, Lainey Wilson, and more lend their voices and songs to a reggae-inspired project. The 11-track collection recreates the arrangements behind some of our favorite country songs, such as Rascal Flatts, “I Like the Sound of That” and “Boot On” by Randy Houser.
The collaborations are courtesy of one of the top Reggae musician groups, called Positive Vibrations. Country Goes Reggae was produced by Christian and Frank Berman (The Berman Brothers) and their partner, Ron Oehl. This exciting new project breathes new life into country songs, while adding a positive factor to each and every track. It’s the perfect album to listen to all summer long. Get the full trackless and listen below.
