Today, Carly Pearce released a sassy new song called “You Can Have Him,” which she wrote with Tofer Brown, Carter Faith and Lauren Hungate. It certainly leans into her Kentucky roots in terms of the production, and the lyrics are irresistibly funny, as she finds herself without a care in the world as her man every blonde, brunette and redhead in his vicinity. He’s the kind of guy that thinks anyone is his type after four tequilas, and Carly is not worried about him one bit… if some other girl is able to tempt him away from her, it’s fair game… basically, “if you can take him, you can have him”: “He likes blondes, brunettes, and redheads Named Rachel, Sarah and Mary-Margaret And I ain’t sayin’ he’s easy, but he sure ain’t picky And he’s had about four tequilas, so I bet he thinks you’re pretty If he’s lookin’ at you that way with a look on his face That says ‘I can whisk you away,’ go get at him If you can take him, you can have him If you make him wanna flirt in your denim mini skirt And he’s workin’ up the nerve If it’s lookin’ like he loves you, you should ask him If you can take him, you can have him” Produced by Pearce alongside Ben West, “You Can Have Him” finds Pearce leaning into her roots with her signature Kentucky twang backed by a heavy dose of steel guitar, bass, fiddle and dobro. Of the new song, Carly says she wanted to drop it as a gift to her fans on her birthday this year, and she calls “You Can Have Him” a “fun one [she] wrote for the girls,” which is a “lighthearted homage” to her home state: “Surprise! My fans have done so much for me that for my birthday this year, I wanted to give something back to them. This is a fun one I wrote for the girls. A lighthearted and playful homage to my Kentucky roots and the traditional songs I grew up listening to on the Grand Ole Opry, it’s a fun preview of what’s to come with my next album. Hope you love it as much as I do!” Carly is so good at these traditional, yet perfectly bold and humorous country songs that are very much in the vein of songs that Loretta and Dolly were putting out during the prime of their career, and it’s what I love so much about her music. She’s never afraid to go there, and when she does, she’s going to tell the story with humor and wit, and of course, unabashed honesty. It’s another great release, and I’ve loved every single song she’s put out as she continues to tease her fifth studio album. Do yourself a favor and check it out: “You Can Have Him” Carly has put out several singles over the last couple months, with the most recent ones being “Church Girl” and of course, her duet with Riley Green, “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay.” Carly hasn’t officially announced the album yet, but she’s off to a super solid start with all of these singles, and I can’t wait to hear what else she has in the works. “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay” The post He Likes “Blondes, Brunettes, Redheads,” & Carly Pearce Isn’t Worried About It One Bit In Sassy New Song, “You Can Have Him” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Do not miss these boys. There’s no doubt that The Red Clay Strays have been red-hot the last year. Riding the highs of their sophomore album, Made by These Moments, in 2024, the Alabama group broke out into the mainstream back in November. Not only did they deliver a killer performance of “People Hatin'” at the 59th annual CMA Awards, more importantly, they dethroned Old Dominion as Vocal Group of the Year en route to their first-ever CMA win. Launching off of their big CMA night, the Strays have kept the pedal to the floor as of late. Not only did they sell out shows at iconic venues such as Madison Square Garden, TD Garden and back-to-back nights at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, but they also released their second single off their upcoming album, “If I Didn’t Know You,” back in February. They would keep the momentum going even more yesterday. In addition to dropping their highly-anticipated single, “Demons In Your Choir,” Red Clay would finally give fans what they’ve been begging for since it was prematurely leaked by none other than Joe Rogan: the release date for their third album. Taking to social media yesterday, they officially announced that their third studio album, Grateful, is set to release on Friday, June 5th. View this post on Instagram Just in case an album announcement wasn’t enough to satisfy you, the Strays would also announce a massive, 37-show tour behind the album, also named Grateful. View this post on Instagram The Grateful Tour will kick off on July 30 in Columbia, Maryland at Merriweather Post Pavilion before wrapping up all the way on November 13 in Atlanta, Georgia at State Farm Arena. Along the way, the Alabama natives will hit major cities and venues such as Madison Square Garden in New York, TD Garden in Boston, Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Bridgestone Arena in Nashville and many more across the U.S. and Canada.

It’s a hit. Today, Morgan Wallen and Ella Langley released their new duet called “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” which they just performed live for the first time last week at  Morgan’s show in Tuscaloosa, Alabama during the second weekend of his Still the Problem tour, which Ella opened. She’s coming off of a massive release week for her incredible sophomore studio album Dandelion, which debuted at the top of the Billboard Top 200 all-genre album chart, and has already become one of the biggest albums of the year. Eagle-eyed fans noticed in the lead-up to Ella’s Dandelion album announcement that she had actually already dropped a hint for fans in her “Choosin’ Texas” music video, which featured a Tennessee (for Morgan Wallen) license plate with the letters “ICLYA.” And after it was revealed what that acronym stood for when they announced the song, fans can now listen to the duet, which Ella wrote with Austin Goodloe and Joybeth Taylor. It finds them in a place of heartache, knowing they shouldn’t be together but not being able to fully let go. Ella opens by admitting she found a “lighter in a night stand” that reminded her of him: “I found a lighter in the night stand That’s why I’m thinking of you, I guess What part of over don’t I understand ‘Cause damn, I miss the taste of your cigarette Yeah, your memory pulls me right back in It’s like I forget I can’t love you anymore Can’t keep chasing you around in the back of my mind I can’t need you anymore Can’t keep sharing this bed with your ghost every night I hate that your kiss left a burn on my lips Oh baby, how do I tell my heart it ain’t yours When I said it before I can’t love you anymore” Morgan comes in with the next verse, saying he still has a picture of them “collecting dust on the dash,” and he can’t forget her, either: “Just when I think you let me let you go  There’s picture of us covered in dust on the dash So you lit it up, just to see the smoke Wrote me plus you with the date on the back Look at that” Morgan says he and Ella have been wanting to get together for a duet for a while, and when he heard the opening riff, he instantly knew he wanted to sing it with her: “Ella and I have been talking about doing a song for a little while now. We have been on tour together and I’m a huge fan of what she does. She wrote and sent over this song and from the beginning riff, it was hard to deny. I’m honored she wanted me to be the one to do it with her.” It has a super catchy production, they sound great together, and as two of the genres absolutely biggest stars right now, I have no doubt this song will be huge for both of them, and I’m into it… it makes a ton of sense for them to put out a song like this, and Morgan doesn’t do a ton of duets with the ladies, this is his first with a fellow country artist, actually, and Ella was the perfect choice. It seems like this will serve as a bonus track of sorts from Dandelion, though it will likely end up being one of the biggest on the album, and I have no doubt it’s going to be a hit. I mean, Ella and Morgan teaming up for a duet is a no-brainer as both of their careers are firing on all cylinders at the moment. Truly, everything both of them are doing right now is going straight to the top of the charts, and you can see what you think for yourself here: “I Can’t Love You Anymore” ‘Still The Problem Tour’ with Morgan Wallen & Ella Langley 5/9 Indianapolis, IN Lucas Oil Stadium 5/16 Gainesville, FL Ben Hill Griffin Stadium 5/30 Denver, CO Empower Field at Mile High 6/6 Pittsburgh, PA Acrisure Stadium 6/20 Chicago, IL Soldier Field 6/27 Clemson, SC Clemson Memorial Stadium 7/18 Baltimore, MD M&T Bank Stadium 8/1 Philadelphia, PA Lincoln Financial FieldThe post Morgan Wallen & Ella Langley Wrestle With Heartache In New Duet, “I Can’t Love You Anymore” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
