American country music singer-songwriter
POPULARITY

Back in the Tin Pan Alley (and Brill Building) days there were song-pluggers, and there were vocalists, and never the twain met, but this symbiotic relationship formed the successful division of labor for the great American capitalist record business. Whether they be based in NY, LA, or Nashville successful songwriters rarely had hits recording their own material. Hard to believe that it took Willie Nelson so many years to be recognized as his own best interpreter. Of course, that now seems ludicrous, given Willie's status as “national treasure”. Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra and the like had their go-to writers and arrangers, Phil Spector, Don Kirschner and others kept their stable of regular creatives like Carole King and Gerry Goffin in little cubicles laboring to churn out dozens of standards weekly for their employer's contracted recording artists. But, just like any actor worth his salt in Hollywood will tell you: “without good writing, you ain't got shit”Two of Country Music's most covered songwriters are being honored here today, singing for you in their own voices: Guy Clark, doing “That Old Time Feeling”, and Harlan Howard performing “Heartaches by the Number.” These are craftsmen, whose practical, raw boned approach to their art yielded glittering treasures. HARLAND HOWARD (1927-2002)Harland Howard wrote over 4000 songs, 100 of which made the top ten Country charts. He was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters and Country Music Halls of Fame. There are tribute albums of his songs by Buck Owens, Waylon Jennings and Wille Nelson. He wrote I Fall to Pieces for Patsy Cline, Busted, made famous by Ray Charles, and the monster hit - I got a Tiger by the Tail for Buck Owens. Here he is singing Heartaches by the Number, which a cursory dip into YouTube reveals covers by Ray Price, Dwight Yoakam, Guy Mitchell, Leon Russell, Paul Carrack and Kitty Wells, among others. There are no frills here, but I contend that hearing the voice of the man who created the song is a more personal experience, like someone reading you their diary.GUY CLARK (1941-2016)The ultimate example of an unsung (pun intended) man of influence is “Old No. 1,” the luthier's luthier, Guy Clark. His Texas home-workshop was the Austin epicenter of the Outlaw Country Movement that transformed Country Music. Watch the scene from the documentary Heartworn HIghway with Steve Earle and Rodney Crowell sitting around Guy's kitchen table, trading songs. Townes Van Zandt may have been the most elusive doomed romantic poet of that group, but it was Guy they studied with and trusted - the one they could depend on, the Zen Master of song.And, what songs! They are like short stories, full of vivid characters, evocative dialogue, and carefully observed detail. Songs like Desperadoes Waiting for a Train, L.A. Freeway, My Favorite Picture of You (for his late wife Susanna - the magnetic beauty patiently putting up with the Outlaw's shenanigans). Today, he favors us with That Old Time Feeling, a tune that insinuates itself into your consciousness through a stream of unforgettable images.
Willie Nelson just teamed up with Lily Meola on a new song called "Tumbleweeds and Chewing Gum" Is Willie older or younger than 95?
The Jay Franze Show: Your backstage pass to the entertainment industry
Ever wonder why certain songs follow you from ballparks to bar bands to late-night TV finales? We take a playful but pointed run at the “most overplayed song” ever with a live listener bracket that pits Free Bird, Don't Stop Believin', Sweet Caroline, Brown Eyed Girl, and more in a ruthless showdown. Along the way, we unpack what repetition really means, how stadium anthems, wedding playlists, and radio gold become rituals that comfort some of us and exhaust the rest. You'll leave with your hill to die on and a few hot takes from fellow fans to test your case.Before the sparks fly, we open with a rapid-fire look at Ella Langley, state champion dancer, voice-shifting surgery, a pellet gun for pests, bangs born from a bad haircut, and a one-pickle pre-show ritual that weirdly works. That personal color tees up a high-energy country news sweep: Lainey Wilson teams with Kevin Costner on The Grey House soundtrack beside titans like Willie Nelson and Shania Twain; Riley Green stretches into acting with a Yellowstone-adjacent series; Rascal Flatts hit RodeoHouston; Meghan Moroney and Ella Langley notch a chart milestone for women in country; Thomas Rhett welcomes baby number five; Luke Combs and Dierks Bentley map new tours; and LeAnn Rimes and Rodney Crowell drop fresh tracks. We also spotlight the Recording Academy's new Best Traditional Country Album category debuting in 2026—an overdue nod to classic songwriting and instrumentation.We round things out with a tight chart countdown spanning radio favorites and indie gems, a March 2016 flashback that tracks how we got here, and a lively mailbag: production vs. songwriting first impressions, dream guests (from Rick Beato to Mutt Lange and Kelly Clarkson), and the gear that changed everything as studios moved from tape to Pro Tools. It's a full-spectrum listen for country fans, music nerds, and anyone who has ever yelled “Free Bird!” at the wrong time.Episode LinksBob Bullock: https://jayfranze.com/episode28/Dave Jackson: https://jayfranze.com/episode53/Dalila Mya: https://jayfranze.com/episode102/Mark Badolato: https://jayfranze.com/episode140/Send a text Support the showLinks Jay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/ JFS Country Countdown: https://jayfranze.com/countdown/ Contact Contact: https://jayfranze.com/contact/ Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranze TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranze X: https://x.com/jayfranze YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranze Services Services: https://jayfranze.com/services/ Books Books: https://jayfranze.com/books/ Merchandise Merchandise: https://jayfranze.com/merchandise/ Support Support: https://jayfranze.com/support/ Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/

De la guitare saharienne aux koshis pyrénéens, tout est dans la #SessionLive. Les 1ers invités de la #SessionLive sont les musiciens de Tinariwen pour la sortie de Hoggar Les pionniers de la musique touarègue et lauréats d'un Grammy Award, Tinariwen, annoncent aujourd'hui la sortie de leur dixième album studio, Hoggar sur leur propre label Wedge. Plus de 45 ans après leurs débuts, le groupe revient, avec cet album, aux fondations mêmes de son identité sonore. Fervents défenseurs de la culture nomade de leur peuple, vivant dans les régions désertiques frontalières entre le Mali et l'Algérie, Tinariwen ont acquis une reconnaissance mondiale au cours des deux dernières décennies grâce à leur musique blues portée par la guitare, mêlant politisation en langue tamasheq, rythmes syncopés et mélodies planantes. Avec Hoggar, ils s'affirment désormais comme des aînés de la tradition musicale touarègue, renouant avec leurs premières années d'écriture autour de guitares acoustiques et de chants collectifs au coin du feu dans le désert, tout en transmettant le flambeau à une nouvelle génération de musiciens invités, chargés de faire perdurer l'esprit de rébellion et de défi. Le premier single Sagherat Assan est une chanson traditionnelle soudanaise portée par la voix mélismatique et profondément soul de l'artiste soudanaise Sulafa Elyas. Pour accompagner la sortie de Hoggar, Tinariwen ont confirmé une tournée mondiale qui a débuté, début février 2026, en Inde. Concernant l'absence de dates en Amérique du Nord, le groupe précise : « Nous étions impatients de présenter notre musique en Amérique du Nord, mais en raison des restrictions actuelles de voyage, nous ne pourrons pas nous y produire dans le cadre de cette tournée. Nous savons que c'est décevant, et notre équipe a exploré toutes les options possibles, mais cela dépassait notre contrôle. Nous espérons revenir aux États-Unis dès que possible pour partager notre musique avec notre public. » Connus pour enregistrer au cœur des vastes étendues balayées par les vents du désert saharien central, Tinariwen ont toujours puisé leur inspiration dans les rythmes de la nature. Face à l'instabilité politique au Mali, les membres fondateurs, désormais basés en Algérie, ont enregistré Hoggar dans un studio installé par le groupe touareg de la nouvelle génération Imarhan, dans la ville méridionale de Tamanrasset, poursuivant ainsi leur héritage d'innovation et de collaboration. Alors que des albums précédents, comme Amatssou (2023), voyaient Tinariwen collaborer avec Daniel Lanois, producteur de Bob Dylan et Willie Nelson, Hoggar marque un retour à une approche plus locale. Réunis quotidiennement pendant un mois avec la communauté musicale touarègue locale, les membres fondateurs Ibrahim Ag Alhabib, Abdallah Ag Alhousseyni et Touhami Ag Alhassane ont composé des chansons inspirées par les troubles politiques, aux côtés de jeunes artistes tels que Iyad Moussa Ben Abderrahmane, Hicham Bouhasse et Haiballah Akhamouk (Imarhan). Le groupe a également collaboré avec Sanou Ag Hamed (Terakaft) et retrouvé Liya ag Ablil, alias Diarra, cofondateur de Tinariwen, pour la première fois depuis 25 ans. De cette rencontre, est née une profonde impression de retrouvailles, mais aussi une évolution du son Tinariwen. Hoggar propose 11 titres chargés d'émotion, aux mélodies complexes et à la chaleur chorale de voix collectives en harmonies puissantes. L'album marque également plusieurs premières notables : Ibrahim et Abdallah chantent ensemble, pour la première fois, depuis plus de 30 ans, rompant avec la tradition selon laquelle chaque compositeur interprète uniquement ses propres morceaux, et le chanteur José González, admirateur de longue date, fait une apparition spéciale. Sur le plan des textes, Hoggar aborde des thématiques urgentes et contemporaines, évoquant les défis sociaux et politiques auxquels font face les Touaregs et le nord du Mali. Fidèles à leur engagement, Tinariwen continue de témoigner à travers leur musique, conciliant l'énergie joyeuse de leurs concerts avec une réflexion profonde sur la résilience, les luttes communautaires et la préservation culturelle. Avec Hoggar, Tinariwen s'affirme finalement comme des symboles culturels, à l'image du massif montagneux touareg, dont l'album porte le nom et qui surgit du désert saharien central. Repère défiant visible à des kilomètres, les montagnes du Hoggar incarnent une terre natale pour les peuples déplacés, tandis que la musique de Tinariwen continue d'ouvrir un espace pour les générations futures. Titres interprétés au grand studio : - Sagherat Assani Live RFI - Cd Amidinim Ehaf Solan, extrait de l'album - N'ak Tenere Iyat Live RFI.

Son : Mathias Taylor, Benoît Letirant. ► Album Hoggar (Wedge 2026). Site - Instagram - Bandcamp - YouTube - Concert Cirque d'hiver. Puis nous recevons Awa Ly pour la sortie d'Essence & Elements. Flirtant avec une soul-folk hybride, l'auteure-compositrice-interprète Awa Ly est à l'image de sa discographie : en voyage. Celle qui pratique la musique de l'âme, transforme les émotions en sons avec une dimension spirituelle et universelle. Après les remarqués Five And a Feather (2016) et Safe and Sound (2020), elle a sorti son troisième album en 2025 : Essence And Elements. C'est sur l'île d'Alicudi, dans l'archipel des Eoliennes, où Awa Ly se rend régulièrement pour se ressourcer, que naît Essence And Elements. Là-bas, inspirée par le silence, elle enlace la nature qui l'embrasse à son tour : le vent, les vagues, le crépitement des flammes ou encore le craquement des arbres lui souffle des mélodies et des textes. S'affranchissant du tumulte du monde, elle s'imprègne des éléments qui l'entourent (Terre, Eau, Air, Feu) pour composer et écrire son nouvel album. Au fil des rencontres, de Paris au Cap, elle s'entoure de quatre producteur.ices pour réaliser ses compositions. Chacun arrangeant trois titres autour d'un élément : Nicolas Repac (No Format, Arthur H, Blick Bassy, Mamani Keïta…) pour la Terre, avec ses percussions et guitares organiques. Lossapardo (Prix Joséphine 2024, Roche Musique, Dinos…) et sa néo soul/folk pour l'Eau. Hannah V (Grammy awards 2021, Rihanna, Jessie J, JP Cooper, Stormzy, Yola…) pour l'Air, avec sa pop éthérée. Léonie Pernet (Infine Music, Malik Djoudi, Acid Arab…) pour le Feu, avec ses percussions et claviers électroniques. Pour cette #SessionLive, Awa Ly est accompagnée par la violoncelliste Lucie Cravero. Titres interprétés au grand studio : - Breathe in, Breathe out Live RFI - My Essence, extrait de l'album - L'une Live RFI. Line Up : Awa Ly (chant), Lucie Cravero (violoncelle) Son : Anouk Bodenan, Mathias Taylor. ► Album Essence and Elements (Rising Bird Music/Naïve 2025).

Two-Time NY Times Bestselling AuthorFrom her own remarkable experiences, Janet created the profoundly impactful Passion Test process. This simple, yet effective process has transformed thousands of lives all over the world and is the basis of the NY Times bestseller she co-authored with Chris Attwood, The Passion Test: The Effortless Path to Discovering Your Life Purpose & Shine Your Light: Powerful Practices for an Extraordinary Life by Janet Bray Attwood and Marci Shimoff .Janet is a living example of what it means to live a passionate, fully engaged life.

Send a textBack in 2022, I talked with Ben Vaughn, whose music and radio show I've been a fan of for years. Ben has enjoyed a great career as a performer, songwriter, composer for film and TV, and record producer. He's produced records by Ween, Arthur Alexander, and Charlie Feathers, and also collaborated with Alan Vega, Alex Chilton and Los Straitjackets. His songs have also been recorded by artists including Marshall Crenshaw, The Morells, and Deer Tick. Needless to say, Ben Vaughn has encountered some colorful characters in his musical journey.

Another country star on the rise. Jason Aldean is performing at Spark Arena tonight, and he's bringing with him Corey Kent – the latest Red Dirt star, according to Rolling Stone. Despite having been performing since he was a kid, it was a bumpy road to reach this point, complete with a happenstance performance with Willie Nelson, a change in jobs, and a lot of dedication. Kent's since gone triple platinum, released four albums, and had over a billion streams. He joined Mike Hosking for a chat about his career to date, and regaled him with stories of country legends Willie Nelson and Paul Simon.

L'un chante, l'autre pas. Mais les 2 musiciens jouent de la guitare. Jesse Harris et Quentin Dujardin se succèdent dans la #SessionLive. Notre premier invité est le songwriter américain Jesse Harris pour le nouvel album If You Believed in Me Bright Eyes, Lana Del Rey ou encore John Zorn, Jesse Harris est l'un des songwriters les plus respectés de sa génération. Après plus de vingt albums, il ouvre aujourd'hui un nouveau chapitre avec If You Believed In Me, son tout premier album enregistré avec un orchestre symphonique, sous la houlette de l'arrangeur et chef d'orchestre brésilien Maycon Ananias. La trajectoire de Jesse Harris est tissée d'aventures musicales hors du commun. Songwriter avant tout, ses chansons voyagent depuis plus de vingt ans, portées par certaines des voix les plus marquantes de la scène internationale.

El mar, la mar, como sedante para espíritus atribulados y la locura. Desde el neolítico a esta parte, esos cráneos trepanados como muestra del intento de darle remedio. La extracción de "la piedra de la locura”, el exorcismo, entre los más exóticos pero la “Stultifera Navis”, "La Nave de los Locos”, famoso cuadro del Bosco, opción real de ciertas comunidades que pagaban para llevárselos y abandonarlos a la deriva. Un viaje por la locura con algunos ejemplos prácticos junto a BSO que incluye de Willie Nelson a Fun Boy Three. Es cierto, “Los Lunáticos han tomado el Manicomio”, esta vez.

In today's uplifting episode, host James Cox sits down with the wonderfully eclectic Kristen Massey—singer, guitarist, keyboardist, voice‑over artist, producer, comedy writer, and author of the newly released The Joat (Jill of All Trades).From the moment they meet, it's clear that music is the trunk of Kristen's tree—everything else branches off it.Together they explore:The healing power of music for depression and why a simple melody can change a heartbeat.Kristen's musical journey—growing up with a piano, crafting Beatles‑ and Joni‑inspired songs, front‑lining bands, and finally finding her voice after two record‑deal setbacks.Red Siren's story, including the costly name‑conflict that turned “Siren” into “Red Siren,” and the triumph of releasing their Led Siren tribute to Led Zeppelin.The Joat—a fresh paperback/Kindle release that urges everyone to become a “Jill (or Jack) of All Trades” and step out of comfort zones.Behind‑the‑scenes of audiobook creation, the challenges of recording an emotionally resonant narration, and the future audio‑book release.Thoughts on AI in music, Bandcamp's ban, and why Kristen decides song‑by‑song whether a track feels authentic.A rapid‑fire lightning round that reveals her first‑thought favorites, the posters that hung on her teenage wall, her “Mount Rushmore” of musical icons (The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell, and Jim Morrison), and the classical pieces that still stir her soul—Mozart's Sonata No. 23 and Haydn's C‑concerto.Kristen also shares heartfelt anecdotes—from playing a flute that makes jungle leaves stand at attention, to hitching a ride on Willie Nelson's tour bus—showcasing how music binds us to nature, animals, and each other.Stay tuned for a candid conversation that blends humor, nostalgia, and raw honesty—plus a glimpse into Kristen's upcoming original EP. Whether you're battling the blues or just love a good musical story, this episode proves once again that when words stumble, music speaks.
In this episode, I sit down with singer-songwriter CJ Hooper to talk about building songs—and confidence—as an independent artist without rushing the process. We dig into how moving from Texas to Washington shaped his musical perspective, and why honest, story-driven country music seems to resonate no matter where you live.CJ and I talk about releasing Over Yonder, his second album just a year after his debut, and the surprisingly self-confronting experience of hearing your own voice back in the studio. We also get into early cassette-tape influences, playing in a band with musicians decades older than him, cutting his teeth at open mics, and slowly figuring out how his original songs want to live in the world. It's a conversation about patience, craft, and letting the work grow naturally—one song at a time.Music from the Episode:Burn it Down (CJ Hooper)Lookie Over Yonder (CJ Hooper)Rain Song (CJ Hooper)Thank you for listening. If you have questions, feedback, or ideas for the show, please email me at brad@thebandwichtapes.com.The theme song, "Playcation", was written by Mark Mundy.

TrulySignificant.com honors Texas legendary musician and author Bob Livingston. Bob Livingston's true significance isn't just that he's an Austin “legendary guitarist.” It's that he quietly helped define the soul of Texas music while never chasing the spotlight—and then spent decades using music as a bridge between cultures. Here's why Bob Livingston truly matters: A Founding Voice of the Austin Sound Bob Livingston was part of the original Austin progressive country / cosmic cowboy movement in the late '60s and '70s—before Austin was branded as the Live Music Capital of the World.He co-founded Lost Gonzo Band, which became the house band at the Armadillo World Headquarters, ground zero for Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker, and the outlaw-country revolution.Livingston wasn't a sideman chasing trends; he was helping invent the sound that blurred folk, country, rock, and storytelling.If Willie Nelson opened the door, Livingston helped build the room. ✍️ A Songwriter's Songwriter Bob's songwriting is deceptively simple—honest, literate, and emotionally precise.His songs have been recorded by artists like Jerry Jeff Walker and Gary P. Nunn.He writes with a novelist's eye: place, character, regret, hope—all without flash.In Austin terms: Bob Livingston is the guy musicians listen to after the gig. A Cultural Bridge, not just a Musician. What elevates Livingston beyond “local legend” is what he did after Austin fame was available to him.He became deeply connected to Mexico and Latin American music, blending Texan folk with regional Mexican styles.Bob Livingston used music as soft power—a way to humanize people across borders through shared stories and rhythms. Integrity Over Industry Livingston consistently chose:Artistic authenticity over commercial packagingCommunity over celebrityLong-term influence over short-term applauseThat choice is why he's revered rather than merely remembered. In a town known for ego and excess, Bob Livingston became a symbol of quiet excellence. The True Significance (If You Strip It All Down) Bob Livingston represents something increasingly rare: A life where talent, humility, curiosity, and service stayed aligned. He helped shape Austin's musical identity, then spent the rest of his career proving that music is not about fame—it's about connection, belonging, and shared humanity. Remember this from Dare of an Angel- We did it simply to do it. We did it to be tender, yet tough, We did it for the beauty of music. Isn't that explanation enough.Visit www.BobLivingstonMusic.com to buy Gypsi Alibi- A Gonzo Memoir and all of Bob's music.

In honor of this event's 40th anniversary this week, we look at a special episode of World Championship Wrestling on Superstation WTBS at The Omni in Atlanta. We have a loaded show with four competitive matches, including the Rock 'n' Roll Express facing the Midnight Express for the NWA World Tag Team titles and Ric Flair putting the NWA World Title on the line against Ronnie Garvin. Also, we get a cameo from Willie Nelson sitting with Dusty Rhodes and Tony Schiavone at a pool, and an appearance from Gaylord Perry for some reason?
We have the craziness of a cop named “Merica” hitching a ride to arrest someone and an arrested man who claims to smoke more weed than Willie Nelson to kick off the show today. We discuss the grown man doing an “isolation year”, celebrate the Muppets, and learn why men are keeping notes. We have a bday game, say our official goodbyes to juice, and have an Ill-Advised News with a very public threesome and robbing Taco Bell on meth.

We're back for 2026
Les, Kurt, and Jason are back after a few weeks off for only their second episode of 2026! But hey, there's a lot going on including Kurt getting snowed in on the east coast while Les and Jason enjoy summer temps on the west coast. Next, the guys mourn the loss of the incredible Catherine O'Hara (and Uncle Floyd) and Kurt has some Blac Chyna news aka Tokyo Toni news and let's just say… Toni's beefing with someone again. Then the guys are ready to watch a movie that they thought might have a little bit more screen time for Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams, Lifetime's “inspired by true events” movie Nobody Dumps My Daughter. Les is certain that if crossed paths with the mother in this movie (Ana Ortiz from Ugly Betty), that they would have FOUGHT. But really the only person anyone tries to fight in this movie is Sheila E's fortune teller Anna because everybody seems to be very unhappy with their readings. But in a world where a fortune teller operating out of the back of a hair salon seemingly works on Net 60 payment terms, it still comes as a shock that this movie references the very real early 90's movie “Another Pair of Aces” starring Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson and directed by Bill Bixby aka The Incredible Hulk.

One of the many things that Willie Nelson and his trusty Martin nylon-string, Trigger, have in common is their truly unmistakable voices. And Willie's laid back, behind-the-beat phrasing applies to both. To break it all down, we called on Ray Benson of Asleep at the Wheel. The two have been friends for a long time, and in 2009 they released the swinging Willie and the Wheel together. Benson tells us about what it's like to work with Willie, what it's like to play Trigger, and when he finally got to put his signature on the latter.

Happy Gopher Day! Join James and Connor (aka the Country Road Kid) as we rank and review Highwayman, the debut studio album by country supergroup The Highwaymen! In an attempt to stay relevant in an ever-changing country music landscape, four legends came together to create something different: Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson. After collaborating and admiring each other's work for decades, the Mount Rushmore of rugged outlaw country took to the studio, armed with ten hits like Against The Wind, Deportee, and Cash's own Big River. Would this Hail Mary effort jumpstart their iconic careers?We'll talk about the four episodes that led us here -- one about each individual Highwayman-- and learn about the holiday specials and films that brought them all together in the first place. We'll explore their group dynamics and talk about the ways music had changed around them between their debuts and 1985. All the while we'll reminisce about panning for gold in the sandbox, hearing these songs as kids, and more. The Mixtaper has facts (or spins) about hotel horses, midwife pranks, and a suspiciously Bill-Murray-adjacent Midnight Breakfast fact. Turn those suits inside out and get ready to ride with some of the genre's greatest.What do you think about the Highwaymen supergroup? Is this album over- or under-ambitious, and is it the best of their three records to cover in an episode? How do you think the Groundhog Day time loop mechanics work?

"Turn out the lights, the party's over,They say that all good things must end,Call it a night, the party's over,And tomorrow starts the same old thing again."Former Dallas QB and broadcaster Don Meredith made this Willie Nelson song famous as he used to sing this on the broadcast once a team had an insurmountable lead or the game was well in hand. Unfortunately, it's a tune that Pittsburgh Steelers fans seem all too familiar with as team suffered another embarrassing loss to the Houston Texans in the Wild Card Round. Then less than 24 hours later, Mike Tomlin stepped down as the Steelers head coach and sent Steeler Nation into a frenzy of who would be the next head coach of this storied franchise. Fast forward to today, multiple sources have confirmed that former head coach Mike McCarthy would be new head man of the Steelers. Join your hosts Jeremy Kohlman, Wil Masisak, and Korey Karbowsky as they discuss what hiring McCarthy means for the franchise and its future as next era of Pittsburgh Steelers football begins.
Es un ruido que lo tapa todo, un ruido que contrasta con el silencio que guardan los medios sobre otros asuntos judiciales mucho más graves. Es el ruido ensordecedor que los ciudadanos periodistas generan con cualquier aspecto de la actualidad del Real Madrid. Puede que sea condenado a pagar una multa por el ruido generado en los conciertos del Bernabéu, una multa económica, sí, pero nada comparable con el último proceso por el que se ha investigado a Joan Laporta, que podría acarrear penas de cárcel.

Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KIn this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz provides a detailed analytical breakdown of Ella Langley's massive breakout single “Choosin' Texas,” released October 17, 2025, as the lead track from her upcoming sophomore album.Born May 3, 1999, in Hope Hull, Alabama, Ella Langley fuses traditional country twang with rock grit, drawing from influences like Willie Nelson, Stevie Nicks, and Miranda Lambert. After her 2024 project Hungover (and deluxe Still Hungover) and the 2× Platinum CMA multi-award-winning duet “You Look Like You Love Me” with Riley Green, Langley solidifies her solo rise with this co-write featuring Miranda Lambert (on co-writing, background vocals, and co-production with Luke Dick and Joybeth Taylor).“Choosin' Texas” delivers upbeat Southern grit, heartfelt themes of lost love to a “Texas woman,” and confident storytelling inspired by Lambert's personal tales. Debuted live in February 2025 and performed at the 2025 CMA Awards, the track exploded organically through touring, fan engagement, TikTok/Shazam traction, and radio momentum—no major media syncs required.Chart dominance as of January 2026 includes: #1 on Billboard Hot Country Songs (first career No. 1), fastest solo female climb to Top 10 Country Airplay this decade (8 weeks, breaking records), #1 on UK Country Airplay for multiple weeks, #1 on Apple Music Country, and #1 Best Country Song of 2025 on Spotify/Billboard. It achieved Top 5 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 (dated Jan. 10, 2026), a rare feat for a solo female country artist this century (only the 12th since 2000), plus Top 5 on US Spotify all-genre streaming. Over 70+ million Spotify streams fuel its crossover success in a male-dominated format.Analytic Dreamz examines the song's record-breaking radio impact, international reach, Miranda Lambert's public praise, viral speculation (denied by Langley), and how it positions her as a culturally resonant, commercially powerhouse new country star entering 2026 with CRS New Faces spotlight and more momentum ahead.Join Analytic Dreamz for this no-fluff, data-driven deep dive into one of 2025-2026's defining country anthems.
