Chris Stapleton had a new member of his band earlier this week. In case you missed it, Chris was performing on “The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon,” but needed a fill-in for his guitar player and producer Dave Cobb, who had an ear ache and couldn’t fly.
Well, when Chris called Jimmy to tell him, Jimmy offered to help, and after a FaceTime session where Chris taught him the chords, Jimmy joined the group to perform Chris’ latest single “You Should Probably Leave.”
Blake Shelton is releasing a deluxe version of his album “Body Language” on December 3rd, and it will contain one very special song.
The album includes four new songs in total, including the just released “Come Back As A Country Boy” and “Throw It Back,” featuring Brooks & Dunn, but it’s the song “We Can Reach The Stars” that fans will likely be talking about. That’s because the song is the one Blake wrote for his now-wife Gwen Stefani for his wedding vows.
Back in July Blake confirmed that he recorded the song. At the time he said, “I don’t know what, or when we’re going to do something with it, but it’s something that I wanted to have a recording of. No matter what.”

Reba McEntire is the latest artist to take part in Apple Fitness+ Time to Walk experience, and in her recording she discusses her taking back the reigns of her career following her 2015 divorce from Narvel Blackstock.
She said that after the divorce she realized there were “four people who were taking care of all of my business,” and they were all gone. In addition to Narvel, she was talking about her production manager and CEO who both left, and her father who died.
“So four men who were rock and pillars of my world were gone,” she says. “I started taking over signing the checks and then I started realizing how much water cost, and the electric bill, and all the things that was going on in my life.” Reba adds, “I made the money, I brought it home. So it was a huge, huge change for me.”
Reba says she also looked to God to help her get through everything she was dealing with, explaining, “And I would wait, and He would guide me. And so without my faith, I have no idea where I would be or my career would be, at this time today.”
She adds that advice she’d give people going through similar things as her is to reach out to friends who have your “best interests at heart,” adding, “you will survive.”
Like most musicians, the guys in Midland get inspired by other artists, but it’s not always country artists that inspire them. In fact, Cameron Duddy says he was recently blown away by hip-hop artist Kendrick Lamar, describing his concert as a “full-blown assault on my senses in the best way.
“It was visually stunning, musically his band was just untouchable and his performance was two hours of nonstop movement,” Cameron shares “And it made me feel like, wow, I can never complain again because this guy is doing it by himself.”
