Music On Mondays: Week Of 8/28/23

Zach Bryan's new self-titled album

"I've got no grand explanation for these songs, I got no riddle in reasoning behind writing them," he wrote in a Thursday Instagram post timed to the album's release. "I just wrote some poems and songs that I want to share because I think they're special. Some of them are heavy, some of them are hopeful, but more than anything what's most important to me is that they're all mine."

Morgan Wade's new album "Psychopath"

“This record shows where I have been since ‘Reckless,’ and where I’m at now. Regardless of what people say about ‘Psychopath,’ I’m proud because I feel like it showcases where I am at this moment in time. I have no choice but to be authentic. And I have to feel what I feel. And right now, I’m really feeling the music. I hope you can feel my authenticity and that you can get something out of this project.”

Turnpike Troubadours' new album "A Cat in the Rain"

Has there ever been an album more highly anticipated than the Turnpike Troubadours’ brand new record A Cat in the Rain? We don't think so! After a nearly six year break since their last album, all feels right in the country music world. The boys from OK are back!

Reba McEntire's new single "Till You Love Me - Acoustic Version"

Reba McEntire is offering an acoustic take on one of her signature hits, “Till You Love Me.” The reimagined version still captures the mournful nature of the original while making room for McEntire’s voice to shine.

Colbie Caillat's new single "Still Gonna Miss You"

"Still Gonna Miss You" is a bittersweet song that explores the complicated emotions that come with the end of a relationship. The singer is mourning the loss of someone who was once important to them, but also recognizes that they will eventually move on.

Aaron Watson & Kylie Frey's new single "9 to 5"

“There’s no one more prolific, more amazing than Dolly. I mean, I can’t think of anyone. I mean, Dolly is Dolly and so we absolutely had to do a Dolly Parton song. There’s so many songs to choose from. I wanted to record “9 to 5″ so we could start playing it at our live show… There’s just that drive, right, that kick drum. That’s gonna be a fun song to play live, like I literally see that being part of our encore. That was a no brainer.”
