Completely random and off topic thought but I thought I’d share...
I’m currently watching “Reba” on TV... I feel like this show could smash all over again if it became available on Netflix... it’s still so funny; timeless. I think the show could reach a whole new & younger audience, and of course fans would probably watch just for the nostalgia knowing they can do so on their own time with no commercials. Anyone agree?
I know, random, but figured people here might have thoughts on this, too.

Come to think of it, if the singing career does not work out, she could be a comedienne.

A reboot of this show would be magnificent to see and I just know it would be just as hilarious as the first 6 seasons (which I have watched an unhealthy amount of times lol--still have them on DVD)

New Billy Currington song called Seaside will be released tomorrow. Sounds like poor man's version of Eyes On You to me.

The chorus is alright (definitely pop), but that second verse is so unpleasant. It's evident they're trying to keep Billy relevant at radio, but the sense I'm getting is radio has lost interest in him. Perhaps he can get another hit or two.

Well, there's 3 minutes I can't get back.
Good Lord, what an atrocious mess. 12 seconds in and I'd already had enough of the click going on (why in hell this is STILL a part of country music today boggles my mind) and the second he opened his mouth with those lyrics I wasn't into it. That chorus is a steaming pile of garbage...and don't even get me started on that second verse with that talk-rap thing that I can't stand (I don't like it when Sam Hunt likes it so I'm definitely not gonna like Billy's attempt at it) and those pitiful lyrics: I can see ya, boardwalk, bare feet/Shore line, honey in a two-piece, sipping something sweet/I ain't trying to come off wrong, but your body would look better with a beach on it/Sand so soft you can sleep on it, I kinda see me on it. Huh?! And what is this hook: Seaside/I want you seaside ?! That's one of the most asinine things I've ever heard in a song from any genre of music. An A-grade mess; it's a hard no from me. Dreadful, dreadful song.

Sorry for the double post, but does anybody know why Ingrid is releasing new music already? Her album has only been out like 3 months, lol. Plus "The Stranger" JUST got released to radio.
I have a bit of a theory that these 8-song albums we are starting to see might be something new the artists and their labels are going to try in an attempt to allow the artist to release new music more frequently. Why waste the resources to create a 12-15 track album, promote 3-4 singles from it for 3+ years, seeing diminishing returns with each single, when the bulk of the sales and streams come right when the album is first released? They could just put out an 8-track album, promote 2 singles from it over the course of a year, and have new music ready after a year. The more frequent "new music" hype would make it MUCH easier to sustain hype for an artist than trying to keep an era afloat for 3+ years.
Ingrid was the first artist we really saw do something like this, and I was just kinda mad about it for awhile, but since then we have also seen Rascal Flatts and Cassadee Pope join the fray. That's what leads me to believe there might be more going on behind the scenes than Ingrid not having enough material for a normal-length album...
Of course, putting out a new song already is WAY faster than I anticipated with my theory, so who knows what's going on!

I actually kinda like the instrumentals of this version. Michael Ray's vocals are better though.

I saw both Rascal Flatts and Cassadee Pope new projects being referred as EPs sometimes online though. Really does it even matter? They are going to chart in album chart anyway. There isn't an EP chart.

Well I mean back in the 70s, 80s, 90s...a standard album was 10 tracks in length, which allowed artists to release a new album once, sometimes even twice a year. Perhaps we're seeing a shift back to that formula? Hell, even Luke Bryan's latest album is only, what, 10 or 11 tracks? If that's gonna get me more music from people like Carrie Underwood, I'm more than happy to entertain shorter album lengths/cycles! Lol. This would also allow artists of Luke's/Carrie's caliber to promote multiple albums off one huge tour. Win-win if you ask me!

Personally I don't think artists like Carrie/Luke who are already well established will have problems still achieving certifications from albums, especially Carrie. It took two years but Cry Pretty has still managed to make it to Platinum. And as for diminishing sales...it's sad but CDs and vinyls (despite the resurgence in popularity of vinyls) are now niche products for the most part. Streaming is the main form of music consumption now, and has been for years. Pure sales will very likely continue to diminish, but as long as streaming is kept up (music can be bought digitally of course and if I'm not mistaken streaming an album counts as a copy of it on Billboard), overall numbers will be able to stay afloat. Which is why Carrie NEEDS to do some things to revitalize her streaming numbers and start focusing on that so that when CDs do eventually go out she can still have a new generation of fans

I don’t know, part of me always saw this coming mostly because of how often they are on tour and apart from each other. It’s hard for older couples and even harder on newer couples. Damn!

This pandemic is really testing a lot of relationships - so many breakups and divorces! Best to Kacey; I’m sure she’ll pour it all into her next album, but it sucks to see so many role models struggling, too.

Sad. I remember there was some murmurs and questioning that things were not going well with Kacey + Ruston awhile back, but I don't exactly recall when that was. So, I'm not terribly surprised by this news coming to light now. It's a shame to see the country world seeing a 1-2 punch of divorce with Carly/Michael and now Kacey/Ruston.

It's something that might work to the advantage of the new kids in country, but it ain't something I see Carrie embracing at all, honestly.

See, this is why I don't think these 8-track albums would work for everyone because (maybe it's just me) but I feel like most artists are releasing albums and sometimes even new music in general farther and farther apart. Now obviously that's not everyone but it's a majority of the people I have taken notice to. If they do go the route of the 8-track album then they are going to need to stop disappearing and release either yearly or at least every other year which used to be a thing but in recent years have been an outlier.

I still buy Vinyl and love to have cohesive projects from the artists I love, and there is nothing like hearing a great album from top to bottom. However, I wish more artists would release Eps and other single projects, because there are many good songs that never make the albums, for lack of space or different sound that I really loved. From The Band Perry It Burns For You and Jimmy, Kacey’s Things To Fix, Maddie & Tae’s Just Fine and Miranda Lambert’s Scars – none of these fitted with the albums but could have been released as one offs. Shorter albums and more Eps and singles might be a good way of doing that. Also, I think these days if there is a relevant song that ties with something (Six Feet Apart, Black Like Me), artists in general could release them in a timely fashion and later leave them off projects if it doesn’t feel like they belong there – let each song have a spotlight even if brief.
Very sad to hear about Kacey and Rushton, this year just keeps giving.

IMO Kacey Musgraves has severely changed over the past year or two. I had to unfollow her on twitter a couple weeks ago.

Standing up for people who sometimes can't be heard. Always being an advocate to LGBT. And to standing up to police violence. I am sure she is going thru an awful time right now. With the divorce and now you unfollowing her. /s

She is outspoken in all the right ways, she advocates for climate change and she is a strong ally of the LGBTQ+ community. Plus she takes no sh*t from anyone. Not to mention standing up against police brutality/the institutionalized racism in police departments. A wonderful person.

Another icon gone. This year has been particularly rough, on top of the pandemic, for losses in the country community...
RIP.
