One final single before the album drops later this week. Gavin Adcock is gearing up to release his third studio project, and in true Gavin Adcock fashion, he’s doing things his way. Adcock has established a reputation for releasing music constantly, consistently providing his fans with a steady stream of new music. For his upcoming record, Own Worst Enemy, which drops later this week on August 15th, he has already shared numerous singles with fans and decided to surprise them with one more before they receive the full record. Talk about a man of the people, right? No gatekeeping songs from Gavin Adcock. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gavin Adcock (@gavinadcockmusic) When Adcock announced Own Worst Enemy, he shared with fans that he truly is his own worst enemy at times, and addresses that feeling by writing songs that highlight his self-destructive truth and the heartbreak that comes with it. “Over the last four years, I’ve spent my life writing, traveling, and trying to find time to breathe. It doesn’t always add up on paper like it would seem, but through the happiness, hard times, and self-destruction, I’ve found that the best part of my job is letting out music for my fans. I can’t thank y’all enough for sticking with me for this long. I’m the furthest thing from perfect, and I don’t ever plan to be. My inspiration for my new album comes from personal experiences and experiences of people around me. I interact with a bunch of different people, and I get to see their side of their life story as well. I just try to take inspiration from real-life things and real-life situations that have brought me to today.” “Light A Fire” appears to highlight that rock bottom feeling of losing someone you love so deeply, but your mistakes drove them away. But a fiery anger takes off, and Adcock comes to his senses, realizing that maybe this love was not as great as his memory recalled. Penned by Adcock, Jack Rauton, and Brad Clawson, and produced by Jay Rodgers, “Light A Fire” begins with a softer melody, as if Adcock is warning his fans of a terrifying heartbreak, wallowing in self-pity as he sits by a bonfire, mourning the loss of the relationship. “Listen to the hum of that kerosene choir dancing off dry oak It’s just me and the dogs out here trying to stay out the way of the smoke She left the ring of gold on top of the note Said I should know, she had to go Whoa, buddy, that’s all she wrote” As the song progresses, the melody intensifies, with electric guitar riffs taking over as he has a turning point realization that this was not the woman for him. The fire that Adcock sits by at the start of the tune grows as he begins to throw this woman’s memories (and seemingly some physical belongings) in there, literally and metaphorically lighting a fire under him to move on. “Now she’s driving, driving, driving me out of my mind It’s too damn quiet, you’re flying for the first time in a while But it’s good timing, because I’ve been getting her shit in a pile When love leaves you that cold, sometimes you’ve gotta light a fire, gotta light a fire..” Adcock delivered the perfect mid-week pick-me-up with the release of this song. I can’t wait to hear the rest of Own Worst Enemy later this week. Turn it up.

Paying tribute to her beloved stepson. Last week, it was announced that Brandon Blackstock, Kelly Clarkson’s ex-husband and famous entertainment talent manager, has sadly passed away at 48. He was the father to her two young children River, 11, and Remington, 9, and he also had two adult children from a previous marriage, Savannah and Seth. He became a grandfather in 2022 when his eldest child Savannah gave birth to a son, Lake. Blackstock was also the stepson of Reba McEntire, as Reba was married to Brandon’s father, Narvel Blackstock, for many years, from 1989 to 2015. A rep for the family gave a statement to PEOPLE, confirming his passing and saying he had been battling cancer for “more than three years.” They also thanked the fans for their thoughts and prayers, and asked for privacy during this very difficult time: “It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away. Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years. He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family. We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family’s privacy during this very difficult time.” Brandon had been fighting melanoma, and he and Clarkson went through a nasty divorce several years ago, as Clarkson filed for divorce from him back in 2020. They finally settled their divorce in 2022 after a longtime custody battle over their two children, though the battle made headlines for years and it seemed as though they were not on good terms. Clarkson and Blackstock were married from 2013 until 2022, and they first met in 2006 at a rehearsal for the Academy of Country Music Awards, when Blackstock was working as Rascal Flatts’ tour manager. Six years later, they reconnected at the Super Bowl and began dating. Blackstock later became Blake Shelton’s manager, as well as Clarkson’s while they were together. And even though Clarkson and Blackstock were no longer married, and had been through a horrible divorce, a source told Page Six that Clarkson has been looking after him while trying to work and keep her residency, as well as popular daytime TV show, alive. They explained that Blackstock was “the man she loved” and still the father to her children: “It’s been exhausting and so sad… Kelly has been working so hard, as well as looking after Brandon. Despite their difficult divorce, he’s still the man she loved and still her kids’ father.” It’s so tragic for his young children, and I know Kelly and the rest of his family, including Reba, are absolutely devastated. She loved Blackstock like her own child, and she had known him since he was a young teenager. She shared a carousel of photos of them on Instagram last night, saying how “thankful” she is for the time they had together, and noted that she is finding comfort knowing “he is in eternal peace in God’s presence”: “Last week, my stepson/oldest son Brandon Blackstock went home to be with God. His struggle is over and he is in eternal peace in God’s presence. There is no one else like him, and I’m thankful for the time we had together. His legacy and laughter will be carried on through his family. Rest in peace cowboy. Happy trails to you ’til we meet again.” It’s just so heartbreaking, and I know Reba must feel like she’s lost a child because she was like a mom to him.

A new session coming in hot from the bluegrass picking machine, Billy Strings. Billy Strings is treating fans with a special gift this week by releasing a collection of five songs for the Apple Music Nashville Sessions EP. The EP does not feature any new songs from the Michigan native; however, it does highlight some of the music from his last studio project, Highway Prayers, which was released everywhere last fall. The EP features four songs and brings in some highly respected bluegrass players to aid Strings in the performances. The tracklist includes “Be Your Man” (feat. Cory Henry), “Gild the Lily,” “Leaning on a Traveling Song” (feat. Jason Carter), and “Malfunction Junction” (feat. Sam Bush). View this post on Instagram A post shared by Billy Strings (@billystrings) In addition, he released a video performance of “Gild The Lily,” showcasing the incredible ability of the musicians in the room as they play in the round, feeding off each other and creating magic. The session continues to celebrate the critically acclaimed work of Highway Prayers, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s all-genre Top Album Sales Chart—making it the first time in 22 years that a bluegrass album has been the top-selling album across genres. Strings continues to impress bluegrass fans with his jamgrass style of music, pleasing avid showgoers by recording fan favorites from his live shows. Songs like “Catch and Release,” “My Alice,” “Richard Petty,” and “Escanaba” have found themselves on Strings’ setlist before the record’s release, capturing the hearts of fans and adding to the record’s excitement that is still holding the attention of bluegrass listeners almost a year after its release. Revisiting some of these beloved tunes in the Apple Music Nashville Sessions keeps the tunes fresh, showing fans that Billy Strings lays down live cuts of his music that sound just as good, if not better, than the studio-produced tracks. Billy Strings is a superstar for a reason, and if you haven’t tapped into his sound yet, this is a great place to start. You can listen to the entire session exclusively on Apple Music, but the video performance is available to all on YouTube. Check it out: As you can see, Billy Strings is one hell of a live performer, and this does not even begin to tap into the riffs he lays down on stage. Strings has a long list of tour dates this fall, but with many of them sold out, you need to act fast if you want to see the “Leadfoot” singer live.
