Thomas Rhett - Life Changes

Lauren Akins with Ada James and Willa Gray.
With eight chart-topping singles and headlining at massive venues across the country, it's funny how life can change so much in such a short period of time. That is exactly what inspired Thomas Rhett's song but it is bound to strike a chord with a LOT of people. Although the lyrics were inspired by his own beautiful family as they toured across the country with him, this song is about everybody and we've made it easy for you to see for yourself, and/or sing along, by providing the lyric video (on the upper right).
Anyone who has ever wondered what life is like on the road with Thomas Rhett, can see for themselves in his new video for “Life Changes.”Filmed by director Shaun Silva over a series of shows in May, the video highlights intimate family moments behind the scenes on the road with Rhett and his girls, wife Lauren Akins and their daughters Willa Gray and Ada James.
“Having the girls out on tour has changed what being on the road looks like for me,” Rhett says. “It just seems to keep getting more and more fun. And, I think the fans might even cheer louder for them than me! I named the album Life Changes because my life has never changed this much in a short span of time," he says. "From seeing the success of a song like 'Die a Happy Man' to putting out my third album to going on my first headlining tour to having two children, both under two years old… I thought the title of the album was a good representation of what is happening in my life right now."

Charlie Daniels Gives $100,000 to Veterans
Whether it be performing for troops overseas, contributing to various military organizations, or through song, Country Music Hall of Fame member Charlie Daniels has paid tribute to our men and women in uniform in various ways throughout his career. But his latest endeavor spotlights that appreciation even more than ever.
The 81-year-old entertainer performed at the Veteran Impact Celebration in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The sold-out fundraiser was held to benefit Middle Tennessee State University's Charlie and Hazel Daniels Veterans and Military Family Center, a place that is very near and dear to Daniels’ heart -- a fact confirmed with his presentation of a check for $100.000 on behalf of his non-profit Veterans’ organization, The Journey Home Project.
The mission of the Center goes hand-in-hand with Daniels’ love for his country – and those who have fought for it. “I’ve been a patriot all my life. I’ve admired the military all my life. “I’ve been among them in so many places – Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay, Greenland, all over the place. These men and women are the best we’ve got. You take somewhere like Iraq or Afghanistan, there’s nothing there but sand. They can’t go into town like you can at an American base in Germany. But, they stay there, and get the job done. They get just as lonely as we do, and miss their families just as much as we do. But, that’s the dedication these people have. How could you not admire them? Everybody should respect our troops.”

Jennifer Vazquez - Rediscovering Me
click on photo for full review
Jennifer Vazquez has an impressive octive range and a sweet melodious voice. I like several of the songs for a variety of reasons. On "Let You Back In", it's the vocals that mezmerize you while "Worst Enemy" has some of the most euphonious, overall musicianship. The quanity of choices and the quality of each of them makes it very difficult to select a favorite. And each comes with a different message but after several runs through the entire album, the lyrical "I Shoulda' Told You" is the definite stand out track for me. I knew Vazquez was a good singer but I didn't realize just how good until this song wafted out of the speakers and covered my heart like a blanket.
After researching Vazquez and listening to her previous recordings, her new album, and reading much of what she has written on her blog, which she started back in 2013, I've concluded she's like Taylor Swift on steroids, and I mean that as a compliment to both her and Swift. When she isn't singing or writing, she's shares life lessons from her Facebook page. She preaches/teaches/advises/counsels and thanks every person who stops by and says hello. Every Monday is "Happy Music Monday", next comes "Happy Wishlist Wednesday" (where she gives lessons in "vision mapping") she does her thing via Facebook videos, hoping to enlighten and inspire all who hear her. She is definitely equal parts philosopher and musician; a young heart with a lovely and talented wise old soul.
