5 Must-Hear New Country Songs: Megan Moroney, Kenny Chesney, Dierks Bentley, I'm With Her & More
In today's crop of new music, Megan Moroney and Kenny Chesney team up on a song celebrating their time spent on Chesney's Sun Goes Down Tour last year. Meanwhile, Dierks Bentley previews his upcoming Broken Branches album with a new release. Julie Williams pays homage to those who have uplifted and inspired her, while roots music luminaries Leftover Salmon and I'm With Her also offer new music. Kenny Chesney and Megan Moroney, 'You Had to Be There' More from Billboard Bad Bunny's 'Debí Tirar Más Fotos' Returns to No. 1 on Billboard 200 After Vinyl Release John Legend Says He's Shocked by Ye's 'Descent' Into 'Antisemitism' and 'Anti-Blackness' Kelly Clarkson Tells Fans She's 'Bummed' Her Talk Show Stops Her From Touring During NJ Concert On this breezy, jaunty summer tune, Moroney reminisces on a summer filled with music and magic, first as a fan soaking in music from the nosebleed seats, then as an artist. She chronicles her journey from attending a Chesney concert in Atlanta seven years ago, to being an opener on his 2024 tour. Chesney joins on the second verse, his warm, conversational voice offering advice on lines including 'Keep your heart on your sleeve and your chin held high.' The song has a classic Chesney feel and serves as an excellent vehicle for their intertwined voices. Dierks Bentley, 'Standing in the Sun' Dierks Bentley offers another preview of his upcoming album Broken Branches (out June 13). His latest song, written by Kyle Sturrock, compares life's hardships to hurricanes and freezing snows, but maintains that his lover's affections are life-refreshing, noting that 'noise dies down and life slows up' when he's with the one he loves. Gently rippling guitars and a laid-back tone echo the song's sentiments. Julie Williams, 'The Women Who Made Me' Williams, known for her work on her 2024 EP Tennessee Moon and her 2023 self-titled project, offers up a new song dedicated to confident, resilient women. Jangly guitars and serene fiddlework lace with Williams' honeyed vocal as she pays tribute not only her mother, but also the influence of many of country music's female greats. She namechecks songs including The Chicks' 'Wide Open Spaces,' Trisha Yearwood's 'XXXs and OOOs' and Sara Evans's 'Born to Fly,' and celebrates the strength and wisdom of her mother, who 'carried a heavy load/ Never let on,' and taught her to lean into music as a solace. Leftover Salmon feat. Sam Bush and Del McCoury, 'Let's Party About It' Venerated jam band Leftover Salmon has been known for its latticework of country, bluegrass, jazz and rock for more than three decades, and on the new LP, Let's Party About It (which released May 9 on Compass Records), it's clear the group has no intention of pausing its eclectic, free-wheeling brand of music and dedication to top-shelf musicianship. The project's title track further spotlights Leftover Salmon's communal approach to music-making, and highlights Dave Matthews Band's Jeff Coffin on soprano saxophone, as well as Sam Bush on fiddle. The rollicking tune pulls listeners in with its lively spirit and urges them that is better spent united in partying rather than in harmful division. I'm With Her, 'Wild and Clear and Blue' This celebrated trio of Sarah Jarosz, Sara Watkins and Aoife O'Donovan released their first collaborative album as I'm With Her in 2018, with See You Around. They return with a new release via Rounder Records. On the project's title track, backed by a mesh of violin, guitar, piano and mandolin, they reminisce about childhood moments spent soaking in music that played in their mothers' cars, finding a gem of an album in dusty record bins, and how those moments spurred their musical passions and have stayed with them as the years have passed. Their shimmering harmonies are tightly woven purity, giving the song's nostalgic message ample space to take center stage. The project marks a glorious return for this talented trio.

Fancy Hagood and Michelle Branch Argue over Getting Rid of a Body in 'Isn't That Life' Music Video — Watch
Fancy Hagood is in trouble — and needs a little help from his friend Michelle Branch. On Wednesday, Feb. 26, the country artist, 33, shared the music video for his "Goodbye Earl"-style track "Isn't That Life," which Rolling Stone premiered and features him and the singer-songwriter, 41, arguing over disposing a body. At the start of the visual, Hagood appears panicked as he ties up a dead body in plastic, before calling up Branch and asking her to come to his house. Related: Fancy Hagood on His 'Southern Identity' and Fighting Rejection: 'I Believe in My Grand Delusions' (Exclusive) "Oh my God, Fancy, what have you done?" the "Breathe" singer remarks, before the "Bored" musician replies: "Quit asking questions. We don't have a lot of time." Branch and her friend then help Hagood carry the body to the trunk of Branch's red Mercedes. "I can't go back to jail," she quips, appearing to nod to her 2022 arrest following an alleged domestic dispute with her husband Patrick Carney, whom she had accused of being unfaithful. (The charge has since been dismissed.) Branch drives the getaway car, as the pair harmonize: "Yeah you saw me, yeah honey I saw you too / Now, letting go ain't ever easy to do, no." Both musicians then go to a house party before the police crash it. While Hagood and Branch drive away, they eventually are stopped by the police who open the trunk only to find a note that says "Isn't That Life" instead of a body. 'When talking through ideas with the director, Ford Fairchild, the idea hit me, 'What if Michelle and I were Mary Anne and Wanda's younger cousins, reliving the generational patterns that happen in families.' The Chicks' iconic music video was a big inspiration for us, but of course we had to put our own spin on it,' Hagood told Rolling Stone in a statement. He added: 'The song is a positive outlook on heartbreak, but the video is a dark storyline told through a campy and humorous lens. After all, when you can look back and laugh at the bad times you know you've really moved on.' "Isn't That Life" was featured on Hagood's 2024 album American Spirit. In an October 2023 interview with PEOPLE, the "Boys Like You" performer opened up about being a country artist who is a part of the LGBTQ+ community.

And so I put that dream on hold for a while,' said Hagood, who then moved to Los Angeles to try out the pop scene. However, Hagood turned around to chase his lifelong goal. 'Being back in Nashville and creating with my friends, and being inspired by so much change that's happening, I really decided I wanted to get back to my original dream and pursue why I moved to Nashville in the first place when I was 17,' he said.

Tom Brady shares cryptic post about love one day after Gisele Bündchen gives birth
Tom Brady shared a romantic message on social media one day after it was revealed that his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen had given birth. On Wednesday, TMZ reported that the Brazilian supermodel, 44, welcomed her first baby with her boyfriend Joaquim Valente. The seven-time Super Bowl winner took to his Instagram Story on Thursday to share a cryptic quote from a user named @larissa_raymond. 'I really think the secret to being loved is to love,' the quote read. 'And the secret to being interesting is to be interested. And the secret to have others find beauty in you is to find beauty in others. And the secret to having a friend is being a friend.' Brady wrote over the image with three heart emojis and the words, 'Love this.' The former New England Patriots quarterback posted another cryptic social media post shortly after his ex-wife — with whom he shares son Benjamin Rein, 14, and daughter Vivian Lake, 11 — announced she was pregnant. Brady shared a photo of a sunset alongside The Chicks' cover of Fleetwood Mac's 'Landslide.' He included three red heart emojis over the post, as the song's emotional lyrics – written by Stevie Nicks – appeared over the image. 'Oh mirror in the sky, what is love / Can the child inside my heart rise above / Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?' the lyrics read. While the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback didn't share an explanation for his post, it didn't take long for the internet to suggest it was in response to Bündchen's pregnancy news. Brady and Bündchen finalized their divorce in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage. The former couple arrived at the decision to end their marriage 'after much consideration.' 'Doing so is, of course, painful and difficult, like it is for many people who go through the same thing every day around the world,' Brady said in a social media statement at the time. 'However, we wish only the best for each other as we pursue whatever new chapters in our lives that are yet to be written.' In her own statement, the Victoria's Secret model acknowledged that the decision to end a marriage is 'never easy,' but that she and Brady have simply 'grown apart.' 'And while it is, of course, difficult to go through something like this, I feel blessed for the time we had together and only wish the best for Tom always,' she said, adding that the pair 'will continue co-parenting [their children] to give them the love, care, and attention they greatly deserve.'
