New Music Releases


Ok, all you bluegrass fans! We’ve got an album for you coming out today. Ricky Skaggs’ Music To My Ears comes out today. It’s a mix of bluegrass, gospel and a little bit of pop mixed in with his mandolin playing. You’ll even hear a little bit of Barry Gibb on one of the tracks.

Songs to listen to: “Music To My Ears,” “New Jerusalem,” “Loving You Too Well,” “You Are Something Else”.

Also coming out today is a new single off Taylor Swift’s Red album called “Begin Again”. She was on Good Morning America yesterday with a preview and told that it’s a song about starting over after a break up. I will definitely be checking this one out today.

What will you be listening to or downloading today? What are you listening to, still, that has come out recently? We definitely want to know!

Lucky Me

I say Lucky Me…but not really. Lucky me if this outfit finds it’s way to my closet, otherwise….sad me!

Miss Me Slim Fit Bootcut Jeans, Lucky Brand Bracelet , Lucky Brand Carolina Top, Ariat Boots

This outfit is the perfect mix of comfort and style. The banded hem on the tee gives it a finished look while still maintaining the comfort of a tshirt. The cut outs on the boots reinforce the look of the shirt to tie everything together. Classic jeans and a fun bracelet round out the look. The owl on the bracelet is my favorite touch!

Wear It: Truck Yeah

Are y’all familiar with Tim McGraw’s Truck Yeah? So it’s been out for a bit on radio and then he just came out with a video for it as well. In my opinion the only thing better than listening to Tim McGraw is looking at Tim McGraw. So let’s take a moment to look shall we?

Ok, now ladies, wipe the sweat off your brow and let’s get down to business on how to dress your man like the one and only Tim McGraw. Here’s how to get ‘r done….step 1: tight, dark t-shirt (long or short sleeved will do fine as long as it’s tight). step 2: tight jeans (light in color but keyword tight). step 3: add some boots and a belt.

Lucky Men’s Long Sleeve Thermal Crew Shirt
Rock & Roll Cowboy Men’s Pistol Slim Fit Boot Cut Jeans with Leather Applique
Ariat Men’s Nitro Boots – Gulch Tan/Quartz
Double J Saddlery Men’s Brindle Hair Belt with Ladies and Aces Conchos

At this point all you need is to perfect your smoldering expressions and add muscles and you have got it!

Style It: Cotton Vest

You can style up this Adiktd Women’s Slub Jersey Vest so many ways. The studs add just enough detail to make it fun while still allowing it to be work appropriate. You could easily wear this over a simple button down like this Cruel Girl Women’s Solid Western Button Down Shirt. Pair it with slacks and heels and you are set for work. Want a fun weekend look? Pair the vest with this Derek Heart Women’s Cap Sleeve Lace Tee. The lace makes it a bit daring and fun and the vest adds a layered look bringing it into Fall. For another fun layered look put it over this Derek Heart Women’s 3/4 Sleeve Striped Shirt.

To change it up, belt it! Especially when worn over a solid long or short sleeve tee, this vesy an be kicked up with the addition of a belt. Try this Black Lucky Brand Women’s Farah Perforated Studded Belt.

New Music Releases

Three releases are coming out today. Dwight Yoakum’s 3 Pears is the first.
This is Yoakum’s first album since 2007. It’s a great album. These are my must listens: “Take Hold of My Hand”, “It’s Never Alright”, “Dim Lights, Thick Smoke”.

Next up is Easton Corbin’s All Over The Road. This is Corbin’s second album, his first being self-titled and producing such hits as “A Little More Country Than That” and “Roll With It”. These are my must listens off this traditional country album: “All Over the Road,” “Lovin’ You Is Fun,” “That’s Gonna Leave a Memory”.

And last on the list of new albums today, the latest from Big & Rich. Hillbilly Jedi is the first album in five years for Big & Rich while they each pursued solo albums during that time. This is definitely fun album with some ballads thrown in for good measure. You should definitely check out: “Party Like Cowboyz” and “Lay It All on Me”.

So what will you be listening to today?

The Voice

I wasn’t going to recap The Voice this season…and I still don’t plan to…but how could I not at least post once (or a few times…). Did you check out the first 3 nights? Team Blake has lots of country goodness on it. Gracia is a yodeler! So cool. Casey Musicman…wait, it’s really Muessigmann – but still. And then the mother daughter duo Two Steel Girls. Lots of country love.

Mamma Steel was rocking some over the knee boots. These Ariat 15″ boots are a more wearable, every day verses on stage, version of the high boot look.

The daughter was in a fun and age appropriate dress. It reminded me of this Mystree Eyelet Style Embroidered one.Come to think of it, Gracia was too. She rocked her’s with brown boots. From what I could tell they were pretty plain and not much detail which worked well with her dress. These Pecos ones are similar.

As far as Mr. MusicMan – he rocked an embroidered shirt. It wasn’t this Rockmount Ranch Wear one, but it should have been.

Can I wrote a Voice post without talking about Domo? Yea…let’s try.

Wear It: Can’t Go Back (Unplugged)

Little Big Town did an Unplugged set for cmt.com and man, this one: Can’t Go Back is a definite listen. Not only is a great performance but everyone’s outfits are to die for! Since I’ve been focusing on women lately on the Wear It series I’m going to highlight Jimi Westbrook’s outfit. Check out the video first:
