Carrie Underwood Dishes on Life on the Road Ahead of ‘Denim & Rhinestones’ Tour

/in /by

Grammy winner Carrie Underwood celebrated the release of her highly anticipated brand-new album “Denim & Rhinestones” with a launch week packed full of activities!

“Extra’s” Alecia Davis spoke with Carrie, who told her all about it and life on tour.

Discussing the event, Carrie shared, “CMA music fest week, everybody is in town just having a great time. Just wanted to create this immersive place where people could come be a part of ‘Denim & Rhinestones.’ There is a lot of that going on. We have different photo ops… various outfits I have worn… We’re giving out drinks. Just come by The Bell Tower here in downtown Nashville.”

As for choosing “Denim & Rhinestones” for her album title, Underwood explained, “When we wrote the song, I was like, ‘We can do a lot with this… Immediately you get some picture in your head when you hear denim and rhinestones… We bring the bling, all the denim, all the fringe… We are in a great time of fashion where there is no short supply of denim and rhinestones.”

For the interview, Carrie wore denim shorts and rhinestone boots, showing off her toned legs, which have gained tons of attention! She commented, “The boots… they are very heavy. I feel like they help with the leg workout for the day, like I have ankle weights on.”

Of her look, Carrie said, “I love it. I love the girly dressing… Onstage, there is like a toughness I kind of want to have… I just want to sing and not worry about what I am wearing. What’s better than a pair of cutoff denim shorts?”

Underwood will be heading out on tour soon. When she’s on the road, Carrie shared, “It’s easier to maintain a routine when I am on tour. I don’t have a house to clean, I don’t kids to cook for because there is catering and room service… I don’t eat that. You will never see me in catering or ordering room service. I go to the grocery store. I have my own food… Having those things on hand and taking care of myself.”

She added, “I usually work out longer when I am on the road just because I have more time.”

That includes working out with her husband Mike Fischer! She dished, “We work out in the same space quite a bit. We have definitely done partner workouts. He does his thing, I do my thing and try to stay out of each other’s way… I think I impress him on working out.”

The couple have two boys, who have traveled with them as well! She said, “This tour, I think for the most part they will be home. The last tour we set up a playroom in the venues… My last tour, my youngest son was 3 months old when we went on the road.”

How does she do it all? She answered, “A lot of juggling.”

Back to music, her first single on the album is called “Ghost Story.” Explaining the meaning of the song, she said, “I loved the feel of it… I did love saying I’m the one that got away but in a different kind of way, in a haunting kind of way.”

When Alecia commented, “We all secretly wonder if we are somebody’s ghost story,” Carrie responded, “I think to some extent, I know we all have one in some way… It has to be unfortunate if you at one point you dated someone who has a career like this now.”

While Carrie has a clothing line and books, could her own talk show be in the works? She answered, “I don’t think so. I am not a good talker… I’m a quiet person. I am okay with silence, so I would probably be a terrible talk show host.”

Carrie stressed the importance of staying focused on what is right in front of her, saying, “Releasing this album and going out on tour, and we will see what opportunities arise.”

“Denim & Rhinestones” drops June 10.

HANK WILLIAMS JR. RELEASES “FIREMAN RING THE BELL” FROM RICH WHITE HONKY BLUES

/in /by

12-Song Album Produced by Dan Auerbach Available Next Friday, June 17 via Easy Eye Sound

As Hank Williams Jr. readies fans for Rich White Honky Blues, set for next Friday, June 17 via Easy Eye Sound, the Country Music Hall of Famer debuts his take on R.L. Burnside’s “Fireman Ring the Bell,” a high-tempo blues burner, driven by punchy slide guitar punctuated by the longtime legendary country outlaw’s dynamic vocals.

A 12-song collection reprising classics from Robert Johnson, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Burnside, Muddy Waters, Big Joe Turner and a few from Bocephus himself, captured live over the course of just three days by GRAMMY-winning producer Dan Auerbach, Rich White Honky Blues finds Williams making good on his legacy with a turpentine and rough wood take on the hill country blues that informed his father’s raw-boned style.

Today’s release follows “Jesus, Won’t You Come By Here,” which premiered exclusively with CMT and CMT.com. With Kenny Brown’s electric guitar, Auerbach on dobro and Bobbie Wood’s churchy piano and organ, the Country Music Hall of Famer sings with a robust conviction that suggests the larger than life amongst us transcend mortal limitations.

With another cover from blues legend Burnside, Williams’ “Georgia Women” premiered with Tennessean, sharing “Bocephus achieves tapping into the spirit of his father’s iconic teacher Rufus ‘Tee Tot’ Payne, and a century of other blues legends.”

Released alongside the announcement of Rich White Honky Blues, album opener “.44 Special Blues” (Williams’ take on Robert Johnson’s “32-20 Blues”) was dubbed by Rolling Stone as “a lonesome, acoustic blues number,” while Consequence shared “the spry solo track digs into the County Music Hall of Famer’s bluesy roots, with its vintage-style refrain, ‘Baby where’d you stay last night,’ pairing perfectly to his well-worn wail.”

“You bring who you are,” Williams says. “All that… all… of… that… is where my music comes from. When we got into the studio, the more we played, the deeper we got – and the deeper we got, the harder I wanted to go.”

“It’s that rawness, and how real it is,” shares producer Auerbach. “I was always searching for the rawness, the darkest stuff. Once we were in it, as soon as we started playing, Hank was invested. That lifted everybody else up, to really push each other.”

PAIGE KING JOHNSON RELEASES NEW ALBUM, ‘HONKY TONK HEART’

/in /by

Country music singer-songwriter Paige King Johnson is proud to announce the release of her long-anticipated album, Honky Tonk Heart, available now from PCG Records.

“For 3 years now I’ve written, recorded, planned & prayed for a full-length album & now it’s finally out! There are way too many people to thank individually for making this little independent record of mine come true, but I can start with my co-writers, producers, management & PR team, family & friends, and all the country music fans out there who keep showing up to listen to my music. This album means the world to me!”

Johnson recently released two singles, “American Beauty”, premiered by M Music & Musicians Magazine, and her latest, “Famous Enough,” is making its way to country radio now [LISTEN].

GARY ALLAN STAYING “RUTHLESS,” ADDING MORE DATES TO CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED TOUR

/in /by

Country star and multiplatinum artist Gary Allan has just added more tour dates to his Ruthless Tour, a nationwide celebration of his critically acclaimed 10th studio album Ruthless — and, as Allan says, 25 years of “doing it the hard way.”

In addition to his already announced dates spanning from Wisconsin to California, newly announced shows include multiple stops in South Carolina, Louisiana, and plenty more. Allan will also make an emotional return to his hometown of La Mirada, California in July. “After being off the road for so long through the pandemic, it feels great to be adding dates,” Allan says. “We’re returning to some favorite venues as well as playing new ones for the first time.”

Allan released RUTHLESS in June 2021 after recording more than 30 songs and whittling down the list to his favorite 13. The album marked Allan’s first in eight years.

Landing at No. 8 on the Top Country Albums chart, RUTHLESS earned immediate praise for showcasing what Allan does best: edgy, impassioned vocals and clever, thoughtful lyrics.

But the Ruthless Tour isn’t just about celebrating Allan’s recent triumphs. It’s about appreciating his 25-year career accumulating more than 8 million album sales and nearly 3 billion streams across all platforms, too.

One of country music’s original “modern-day outlaws,” Allan has won over fans, peers, and critics alike thanks to adding his unapologetic edge to everything he does.

Reliant Talent Celebrates Kenny Loggins Recent Success as 80’s Smash “Danger Zone” is Featured in Top Gun: Maverick

/in /by
Pop icon Kenny Loggins is enjoying the resurgence of his 1986 hit “Danger Zone.” The track was featured in the original Top Gun soundtrack and makes another appearance in Paramount’s Top Gun: Maverick (May 2022). Top Gun: Maverick is the sequel to the 1986 blockbuster and has grossed $282 million at the box office worldwide, the largest opening in history for a Memorial Day weekend release.
Although Loggins re-recorded “Danger Zone” for the project,  the film’s producers decided to use the original version for the sequel.  Loggins revisits the story behind the hit via American Songwriter here.
In addition to Loggins, Reliant Talent represents a diverse client list encompassing artists from Americana, Comedy, Country, Rock, Jazz, and more. Loggins, a two-time GRAMMY® Award-winner, has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide, including chart-topping hits such as “This Is It,” “I’m Alright,” and “Footloose.”
Over five decades, Loggins has left an imprint on the pop landscape as a solo artist and as half of the famed ‘70s duo Loggins & Messina. He has been a devoted philanthropist and children’s advocate throughout his career. His children’s album, Return to Pooh Corner, is the best-selling children’s album of the last 20 years. Loggins also released his latest children’s project, the book Footloose, inspired by his 1985 Oscar® nominated and Grammy® Award-winning “Song of the Year” in 2016. Loggins remains active in supporting local and national organizations, including Toys for Tots, Unity Shoppe, Make a Wish, Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation, and Little Kids Rock.
Loggins’ accolades include ASCAP’s Harry Chapin Humanitarian Award at the annual Chapin Awards hosted by WhyHunger (2016). His song “Conviction of the Heart” has been hailed as the “unofficial anthem of the environmental movement.”
Currently, Loggins is anticipating the June 14, 2022, release of his long-awaited memoir Still Alright, giving fans a candid perspective into his life and career as one of the most noteworthy musicians of the ‘70s and ‘80s.
In addition to Kenny Loggins, Reliant represents Travis Tritt, Rodney Carrington, Phil Vassar, Yacht Rock Revue, Take 6, Average White Band, Sister Hazel, and others (here).
