Artists and Their Songs I like

Megan Moroney

Songs - “Girl in the Mirror” and “Tennessee Orange”

About- She is 25 years old and from Savannah, Georgia. She is a major Georgia Bulldogs fan (yucky). It is rumored that her song “Tennessee Orange” is about country singer Morgan Wallen. She is currently single, so she must have broken things off with her boyfriend whether it is Morgan Wallen or not. She performed her debut song “Tennessee Orange” at the Grand Ole Opry. She is a very beautiful lady. In her TikTok bio she calls herself “The Emo Cowgirl”.

Nickelback 

Song - “Animals”

The head singer Chad Kroeger is who you usually think about when you hear someone say Nickelback since he is the head person. Chad is 48 years old and from Hanna, Canada. He was married for a while to teen punk singer Avril Levigne for two years. Chad is the head singer and guitarist for his band Nickelback. In the band Chad sings and plays alongside his brother Mike. 

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Song - “Free Bird”

Lynyrd Skynyrd was a country rock band that was formed back in 1964. All the members of the band are dead now. The last member to die was Gary Rossington. Their origins are in Jacksonville, Florida. They got their name from a gym teacher in Jacksonville, Florida.

HARDY

Song - “SOLD OUT”

HARDY is a country rock singer that was famously known for his song “Give Heaven Some Hell”. He is 32 years old and from Philadelphia, Mississippi. He is best friends with country singer Morgan Wallen. Another song he is famously known for here recently is “wait in the truck” he sang with country singer Lainey Wilson. He is unfortunately a Mississippi State fan :(. HARDY is his last name though. His full name is Micheal Wilson Hardy. He puts his beliefs known and I am here for it.

Koe Wetzel

Song - “Cabo” ( I love all of his songs though)

Here we are to my favorite artist. Koe is a country rock artist. He is 30 years old and he is from Pittsburgh, Texas. He is so handsome in my opinion. He is mostly known for his song “February 28, 2016.” The song is about his DUI he got that day heading to get Taco Bell because he simply wanted some Taco Bell. All of his songs are about his real life events. He is mostly “underground” because he is not widely known. I went and saw him in concert on March 30, 2023 on his Road To Hell Paso Tour for my 15th birthday. I screamed to all of his songs and he had two great openers. My favorite opener for his concert was the Cadillac Three. He is such a fine man. 

Zach Bryan

Song - “Oklahoma Smokeshow”, “November Air”, and “Billy Stay”

Zach Bryan is a country artist. He is 27 years old and from Okinawa, Japan. He was born there while his father was on deployment. They moved to Claremore, Oklahoma (his hometown). Zach is known for his song “Something in the Orange.” He wrote a song about his mothers passing from drug abuse. The song is called “Sweet Deann.” and the album the song is on is also named after his mom. He loved his mom very dearly. At his show at the red rocks he said “ I wouldn’t be here without my momma.” His first song “Headin South” he posted on Youtube outside of his military barracks in 80-90 degree weather back in 2019. He is now a Navy veteran doing music full time now.

Hank Williams Jr. 

Song - “All My Rowdy Friends (Have Settled Down)”

Hank Jr, Son of Hank Williams Senior, is a country singer like his daddy was. He is 73 years old and from Shreveport, Louisiana. When you listen to his father’s music and his music they sound different. His hit “ A Country Boy Can Survive” made him really popular among the country crowd. His song “Family Tradition” was a statement of rebellion. Not only about his lifestyle and how he lives out the songs that he wrote, but also on his music identity and direction. A lot of people got upset about it, but personally it is one of my second favorite of his songs. I like that he sings and writes about what he does in real life and that he actually lives out the songs that he writes. I really appreciate that about singer-songwriters.

Kanye West 

Song - “Heartless”

Kanye (ye) West is an American rapper. He is 45 years old and from Atlanta, Georgia. Now I know Kanye is really controversial, but I kinda like that about people. He’s really crazy and out of pocket so he always keeps you on your toes. His tweets are one of the best parts about him. He’s a really funny guy, but definitely has screws loose. Kanye was married to Kim K, but they got divorced. I believe Kanye was too good for her anyways. I know Kanye isn’t “Politically Correct”, but none of us are truly. We all miss old Kanye though.

 George Strait 

Song - “How Bout them Cowgirls”

George Strait is an American country artist. He is 70 years old and is from Poteet, Texas. George is the King of Country music. He has sung so many hit songs over the years. Nobody has ever topped George in music taste. George has 60 number one hits from his whole entire career. His songs are really catchy and really relatable to a lot of people. Whether you're in love or going  through a heartbreak, George has a song for you. If you're in love maybe try out “Carrying Your Love With Me” and if you're going through a heartbreak try “Baby’s Gotten Good at Goodbye.” He is one of the only singers that I can listen to every one of his songs and not get annoyed or don’t like.

Morgan Wallen

Songs -  “98’ Braves”, “More than My Hometown”, “Everything I Love”, “Last Night”, and “Man Made a Bar.”

Morgan Wallen is an American country singer that almost every girl is obsessed with including me. He is 30 years old and is from Sneedville, Tennessee. He is really popular now and rising through the charts with his buddy HARDY. He did have a deal with saying the N word, but he has apologized and we have all forgotten about it. Now when he did say the word I still listened to him, but his fans now called him racist. I think that’s hilarious that you bash on someone then a few years later scream their music. He isn’t really considered “Country”, but most people forget there are different categories of country. Even though he’s had his ups and downs he is still one of the best singers we have. Him and HARDY have a great friendship, like I talked about in HARDY's excerpt. HARDY does write most of MW’s songs though. I can’t wait until they have another collaboration together.

Whiskey Myers

Song- “Broken Window Serenade”

Whiskey Myers is an American country band. Their origin is in Palestine, Texas in 2005 when they got brought together. The band has six members all together. They have an awesome tone and are really depressing sometimes. “Broken Window Serenade” is very depressing and will make you cry either over a heartbreak or in general. I love them and their music.

Conclusion
