DISClaimer Single Reviews: Morgan Wallen Nabs The Disc Of The Day

/by

It’s pretty much wall-to-wall stars in this week’s DISClaimer.

There’s essential listening here from Thomas Rhett, Jelly Roll, Eric Church, Jordan Davis and Lauren Alaina. Not to mention Best New Artist Grammy winner Chappell Roan.

Leading the pack is Morgan Wallen with the Disc of the Day.

For our DISCovery Award, we head north of the border to find indigenous music maker Uncle Trent.

PRISCILLA BLOCK / “Yard Sale”
Writers: David Garcia/Jessie Jo Dillon/Laura Veltz/Priscilla Block; Producers: David Garcia, Jesse Frasure; Label: Mercury Nashville
– Wonderfully fun. She’s kicking up her heels in this merry revenge ditty. Getting rid of all his stuff at a yard sale with thumpy beats and a girlfriend chorus surrounding her fiesty vocal. Definitely play this romper.

JELLY ROLL / “Heart of Stone”
Writers: Blake Pendergrass/Jason DeFord/Shy Carter/Zach Crowell; Producer: Zach Crowell; Label: BBR Music Group
– So far, the man has seven consecutive No. 1 singles, plus two more. I see no reason why this momentum shouldn’t continue. This time, Jelly Roll (Jason DeFord) is praying to the Lord for deliverance and redemption in a lushly, produced country rocker that rolls into a high, wailing chorus at the top of his tenor range.

CHARLEY CROCKETT / “Jamestown Ferry”
Writer: Willard Mack Vickery; Producers: Charley Crockett, Shooter Jennings; Label: Island Records
– Crockett’s just-released Lonesome Drifter album includes this revival of Tanya Tucker’s 1973 hit. His outlaw-beat “Game I Can’t Win” and “Night Rider” have already spawned music videos from the collection. Acclaim for the record has Crockett on a roll. Next month, he tapes Austin City Limits. Tonight, watch for him to debut on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

ERIC CHURCH / “Hands of Time”
Writers: Eric Church/Scooter Carusoe; Producer: Jay Joyce; Label: EMI Music Nashville
– We can’t do anything about getting older, but Church avers that music keeps you young. I’ll tell you one thing, music by this man, especially, will warm your blood and pump a life force into ya. The brilliant Jay Joyce track rocks splendidly, and Church’s genius as a writer and performer have seldom shined brighter. A shouted “Amen!” from this aging hippie.

TIMOTHY WAYNE / “That’d Be You”
Writers: Jamie Moore/Mark Collie/Timothy Wayne; Producers: Byron Gallimore, Tim McGraw; Label: UMG Nashville
– A swaying, lilting love song surrounded by crisp production featuring deft guitar-string plucking. Sweetly tender and romantic.

CHAPPELL ROAN / “The Giver”
Writers: Daniel Nigro/Kayleigh Rose Amstutz/Paul Cartwright; Producer: Daniel Nigro; Label: Island Records
– Pop’s current “It” girl goes country with this fiddle-laced, rhythm-happy ditty. She debuted it on Saturday Night Live last year, and it’s already a smash. “I ain’t no country-boy quitter, I get the job done.”

LORRIE MORGAN & TRACY LAWRENCE / “After the Fire Is Gone”
Writer: L.E White; Producers: Chip Voorhis, Wally Wilson; Label: Cleopatra Records
– You absolutely cannot go wrong with this honky-tonk classic. Previously a smash for Conway & Loretta (1971, a Grammy winner) and for Willie with Tracy Nelson (1977), it is an essential part of the hillbilly-duet repertoire. Rest assured that these two sublime country stylists do it proud.

MORGAN WALLEN / “I’m a Little Crazy”
Writers: Hunter Phelps/Jameson Rodgers/Michael Hardy/Smith Ahnquist; Producer: Joey Moi; Label: Big Loud Records/ Mercury Records
– I got totally into this. Wallen unspools the thoughtful lyric in plain-spoken, unfussy fashion while acoustic guitar notes ripple around him. He sings, “I’m a little crazy, but the world’s insane.” I believe we can all relate to that. Wallen showcases tunes from his upcoming I’m the Problem album this weekend as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live on March 29.

UNCLE TRENT & ASHLEY GHOSTKEEPER / “You’re the Reason”
Writer: James Agecoutay; Producer: Trent Agecoutay; Label: Thicker Than Blood Music
– Canada has a large indigenous population. So much so, that there is a native-American music scene with its own awards and organizations. Trent Agecoutay (Uncle Trent) and Ashley Ghostkeeper are both members of western tribes, and both are stars in their field. They take this love ballad slowly, with plaintive, yearning vocals.

THOMAS RHETT & LANIE GARDNER / “What Could Go Right”
Writers: John Byron/Josh Kerr/Rocky Block/Thomas Rhett; Producers: Dann Huff, Josh Kerr, Julian Bunetta; Label: The Valory Music Co.
– We live in hope. These two are headed for a hookup, thinking about the possibility of lasting love and throwing caution to the winds. A swirling, rocking production bolsters their harmonized optimism at every turn. The excitement is stirred with more and more vigor as the rushing track proceeds. A splendid single.

AVERY ANNA / “Wish You Well”
Writers: Avery Anna/David Fanning/Jon Hume; Producer: David Fanning; Label: Warner Music Nashville
– She’s leaving a super turbulent relationship. The twinkling, upbeat track disguises the abuse she suffered as she sings of forgiveness and moving on. An audio delight.

JORDAN DAVIS / “Bar None”
Writers: Ben Johnson/Hunter Phelps/Lydia Vaughan; Producer: Paul DiGiovanni; Label: MCA Nashville
– This man never disappoints. This strummy outing churns right along as he gets totally wasted trying to erase her memory. He knows he’s going to wind up with a hangover, but chugs away anyhow. His warm, conversational, country-folk delivery gets me every time.

LAUREN ALAINA / “Household”
Writers: Casey Brown/Lauren Alaina/Lydia Vaughan/Parker Welling; Producer: Joey Moi; Label: Big Loud Records
– Love the cool, twangy touches in the production. The minor-key tune has nifty twists and turns, and her drawling vocal delivers the doom lyric with panache. Catchy and crafty.

Garth Brooks recently completed his 72-show run in his residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, selling out 99% of all of the available tickets.

Since the first show on May 18, 2023, Brooks and his team sold more than 300,000 tickets, with grosses exceeding $130 million. The residency was offered a unique experience at every performance, allowing Brooks to share stories and guide the audience on a personal journey each night, ensuring that no two shows were ever alike.

“I speak on behalf of the band and crew, best gig we have ever had. We were spoiled to death, everyone from the Carano family to the people at Caesars and Live Nation, the box office to the ushers, security, local crew, stage, lights, sound, backstage, catering…all amazing. I would suggest to any artist, if you get a chance to play that room, play it. The crowds were absolutely the best part,” says Brooks.

“All of us at Caesars Entertainment are honored to have had Garth Brooks bring his vision for this residency to The Colosseum,” says Caesars Entertainment’s President & COO Anthony Carano. “Having seen this show go from conception to completion, watching firsthand as Garth and his team created 72 uniquely special live music experiences that deeply connected with fans and celebrating the music and stories that can only come from the enduring legacy Garth has created is something we will never forget. Plus ONE was an undeniable success, and we are grateful it happened at The Colosseum, where Garth will always have a home.”

The BMI lobby on Music Row was packed wall to wall on Tuesday afternoon (March 25) as industry friends and colleagues gathered to celebrate Tucker Wetmore‘s first No. 1, “Wind Up Missin’ You.”

Wetmore co-wrote his Platinum-certified debut single with Thomas Archer and Chris LaCorte, who also produced the track. The celebration was particularly notable because all publishers involved were independents.

Hosted by BMI and SESAC and emceed by BMI’s Leslie Roberts, the event commemorated Wetmore’s first, Archer’s fifth and LaCorte’s third No. 1 hit.

Roberts welcomed several industry leaders to share remarks about the song and its creators, including SESAC’s Lydia Cahill, Back Blocks Music’s Rakiyah Marshall, Hang Your Hat’s Emily Baldridge, Concord’s Brad Kennard, Combustion’s Keithan Melton and EMI Nashville/UMG Nashville’s Damon Moberly. Each speaker highlighted the co-writers’ talent and work ethic.

“Chris, [your work with Tucker] really sets the bar and quality standard for the future of country radio, and I’m so happy to be part of that,” Baldridge said.

Melton shared that “Wind Up Missin’ You” was written during a period when Archer was between publishing deals.

“During that time, without a publisher, Thomas booked his own write, showed up, and made it happen,” he said, commending Archer’s drive and initiative. “There’s going to be a lot more of these.”

Marshall spoke about the song’s impressive success, noting that it has amassed 330 million global streams and was certified Platinum in just eight months.

“What a year. Almost exactly 12 months ago, on March 29, 2024, this song was released. None of us could have predicted what was coming next,” Marshall said. “It became a No. 1 country song on the U.S. charts in just 30 weeks for a debut artist on his debut single.”

Moberly echoed the milestones Marshall shared and took a moment to recognize the song’s promotion team.

In honor of his first No. 1 as a BMI songwriter, Wetmore was presented with a custom Taylor 210e DLX guitar. Sponsored by Studio Bank, Ron Cox also made a special donation presentation on behalf of the songwriters in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. SESAC presented a custom guitar to affiliate LaCorte as well.

Archer was the first of the co-writers to speak, expressing gratitude to his family, publishing team, label, management, Wetmore, LaCorte, and many others.

“This stage isn’t big enough to hold all the people responsible for this,” he said. “It’s no surprise that Tucker’s career was going to happen—whether it was this song, ‘3,2,1,’ or any of the songs you’ve cut. I’m blessed that this was the one you went with, but this would have happened regardless.”

LaCorte thanked God, his family, and the team behind “Wind Up Missin’ You,” directing special praise toward Wetmore.

“Even more than you are an amazing artist and performer, you’re an amazing person,” LaCorte said. “You have a heart for people, which is not always a given in this town. The sky is the limit with you—it’s an honor to work with you.”

When Wetmore took the stage, he shared a story about setting goals with his mother before leaving his home in Washington to pursue music in Nashville.

“Some of the goals we wrote down were touring, signing a publishing deal, and having a No. 1 song on country radio,” he recalled. “I got to ring that bell on January 6 with two of the best people I’ve ever met in my life.”

He then spoke about the deeper connections he’s found in Nashville.

“Another goal of mine was finding a family, because I was leaving mine,” he said. “I look around this room, and you guys are it—you’re my family. Thank you for everything.”
