With millions of additional documents being released about Jeffrey Epstein’s web, it is becoming clear that he was more than “just” a child sex trafficking monster. The billionaire Deep State operative’s ties to education and academia shed light on one of the most disturbing agendas imaginable. Indeed, Epstein was a key player in bankrolling a …

This song was made for an acoustic accompaniment. Last night on American Idol, 22-year-old Bella Emry from Bend, Oregon walked into the room to sing a country song that most fans will be very familiar with. She delivered a striking, almost haunting rendition of Morgan Wallen’s “I’m A Little Crazy,” which was written by Hardy, Smith Ahnquist, Hunter Phelps and Jameson Rodgers. It finds him reflecting on the state of the world and how he keeps a “loaded .44 by the bed” even though he hopes he never has to use it. It was included on his massive I’m The Problem album, and in my personal opinion, was the best and most meaningful song on the massive 37-song tracklist. There’s so much truth in it, and I love Morgan’s delivery, and it was definitely one of the more “country” songs on the record because of the brilliant lyricism and more simple production. Bella explained that she currently works as a waitress and also an office admin at her parents company, a concrete restoration business. Of course, her dreams are much bigger than that: “No shade to my parents, but I’d much rather be singing. I would love to make in my life. I’ve been watching Idol since I was a little kid. Now I’m doing it. I am the most nervous I think I have ever been in my whole life. Singing is second nature to me, but I do not perform for people. So this could be life-changing.” It’s shocking to hear that she doesn’t perform in front of people because of not only how incredible her voice is, but how natural she seemed to be sitting in front of three of the world’s most famous musicians. Carrie seemed pretty shocked, too: “That was great. I’m surprised to hear you say that you don’t perform…You seemed very comfortable just telling a story. Nobody was breathing when you were singing. Well done. I wasn’t expecting you to be able to really hold our attention like that. I mean, you didn’t hit a bad note. You held the guitar together really, really well, and you delivered that song in your own way.” Lionel Richie told Bella that they’ve been waiting on a contestant like her, and of course gave her a “yes”: “Idol University has been waiting on you. You are scholarship material, my dear. All I can say is, you’re going to hold that one time around. Let’s see some more. It’s a yes for me.” The other judges did too, and Bella was elated to learn that she’s going to Hollywood week, which is actually going to be held in Nashville this year: “I’m sure it will get even harder, but I feel a little bit more like, I can do this. This is an actual possibility for me.” American Idol airs on Monday nights at on ABC, and while I can’t say I’ve sat down and watched every episode, I have seen some of the auditions on social media and I always enjoy watching the artists who do country songs. This is easily the best one I’ve seen, and I think Bella did an outstanding job and I can’t get enough of how she made it her own.

Won’t want to miss this one. These days, it seems as if Taylor Sheridan simply never sleeps. After catching lightning in a bottle with Yellowstone back in 2018, he expanded the franchise tenfold with multiple spinoff series, including 1883 and 1923, as well as The Madison, Marshalls and The Dutton Ranch, which are all set to come out at some point this year. Of course, you can’t forget about Landman, starring Billy Bob Thornton, which has been another smash hit for Sheridan as well and even broke Paramount+’s viewership record upon season two’s finale back in January. From a country music perspective, both Yellowstone and Landman have made a massive impact one some of the best alternative artists in the genre today. Outside of the few mainstream acts, Yellowstone‘s soundtrack, in many ways, serves as a crash course on some of the biggest names in the independent/alt. country scene. In turn, it exposed many to what many (myself included) turn to when asked why country music is at its best place in history and introduced them to a completely different world that exists outside of the Top 40 on country radio. Dubbed (by us) as the Yellowstone Effect, there is data-driven proof that some artists saw MASSIVE exposure thanks to the show, The music featured in Yellowstone, in particular, has become so synonymous with the series that Sheridan launched his inaugural concert series at his 1,000-acre ranch in Weatherford, Texas, last year with Drayton Farley, Kaitlin Butts and Jackson Dean as headliners. And he’s running it back this year. Just announced by Billboard, Sheridan will hold his second annual Bosque Ranch Live concert on September 12th in Weatherford, Texas, with none other than frequently-included artists, Shane Smith & the Saints and Tanner Usrey as headliners. As for what to expect from the event, it will run from noon to 11 p.m. In addition to performances from the Saints and Usrey, the Yellowstone showrunner is introducing a speaker series, which will feature craftspeople who worked on the set of Yellowstone, 1883, 1923, Landman and more. The speakers will include the likes of Emmy-winning costume designer, Janie Bryant, as well as Sheridan’s music supervisors, Andrea Van Foerster and Andrew Lockington. Additionally, prop master, Ian Roylance, and set decorator, Charla Curry, will be sharing behind-the-scenes stories behind the creation of various shows. In a statement to Billboard, Sheridan would express how excited he is to hold the concert series a second year, noting how much respect he has for country music and the way it connects to fans. “We are thrilled to be back for another year. As a storyteller, I have the deepest respect for the way country music connects with fans. I feel extremely lucky that Bosque Ranch Live has an opportunity this year to introduce our Speakers Series full of our wonderful crafts family.” Given the limited capacity at Sheridan’s ranch, attendance will be capped at only 700 people. With that being said, tickets are open to the public for purchase. General admission for the concert will cost you a hefty $500 and includes the concert itself, the speaker sessions and a signature Bosque Ranch gift. Other ticket options include a “Nic’s Bar & Saloon” tier for $800, which includes lunch, dinner and drinks prepared by Yellowstone‘s Chef Gabriel “Gator” Guilbeau. Additionally, multiple packages, which include an overnight stay in a gazebo, are also available now and can be purchased here.
