The two Texas natives Miranda Lambert and Leon Bridges make pretty convincing cases for themselves on their newly-released duet “If You Were Mine.” The country song, which marks Lambert’s first release of the year, imagines everything they’d do to keep love close — from catching stars from the sky to capturing the moon itself.
“I’d memorize you like a scripture/Hang on every word,” Bridges promises before Lambert offers: “I’d make you my whole world/Boy, if I was her.” Closing out the song’s bridge, he adds: “Girl,...

When Ashley Monroe wakes in the morning, she often heads straight to her closet. “I hear melodies in here,” says the singer-songwriter, calling from inside the cramped space during a recent interview.
In the quiet early morning hours of 2018 and 2019, Monroe heard much more than melodies in her closet. Fully fleshed-out arrangements — bass grooves, synth lines, vocal hooks — spontaneously presented themselves in her head. “I was hearing them like the songs were already written,” she says. If she liked something enough, she’d sing whatever she could a cappella and make a voice demo.

The Steel Woods have announced their third album, All of Your Stones, a record that arrives as unplanned eulogy to the Southern rock band’s co-founder Jason “Rowdy” Cope. The guitarist and songwriter died in January at 42.
Ahead of the LP’s May 14th release, the surviving members of singer Wes Bayliss, bassist Johnny Stanton, and drummer Isaac Senty posted the title track on Thursday. Cope co-wrote “All of Your Stones” with Bayliss and Jamey Johnson, and it stands as an inspirational song for overcoming criticism and hate and transforming it into something beneficial.

Miranda Lambert appeared on The Late Show to perform her recent song “Tequila Does,” which comes off her album Wildcard.
Joined by her band, Lambert brought a rollicking vibe to the track, which poses the question: romance or tequila. “The boys around here drink domestic beer/They’re all hat and no cattle/But I won’t sleep alone, because my old pal Patron is taking me home tonight,” Lambert intones on the twanging number, adding, “They don’t love me like tequila does.”

Lambert introduced the song, which she told the Tennessean was “total country-punk rock,” by saying it was the first time she and her band had played it for anyone. The band kicked things off with a turbocharged Chuck Berry-style guitar riff and pounding drums set to...
