Beyoncé released the track list for her upcoming album "Act II: Cowboy Carter" on Instagram.  In a picture meant to look like an old concert poster, she teases songs like "Levii's Jeans" and "II Hands II Heaven".

There's also a cover of "Jolene", and the name Dolly P is on the poster . . . so it's possible that Dolly appears on the track, or somewhere else on the album.

And there appears to be a song called "Smoke Hour", featuring some guy named . . . WILLIE NELSON! There's no word on any other guests.  The album drops FRIDAY3/29

Jelly Roll says he “wants a pretty smile,” so he underwent compete mouth reconstruction.

His wife, Bunnie Xo, chronicled the experience for fans by sharing video from his dental chair. He said, “I've had these same veneers for 20 years, I'm finally getting them replaced, and I'm getting some implants and getting some cavities and wisdom teeth pulled out.”

Jelly Roll has been very upfront about his past, rugged way of life. The streets don't offer dental insurance, so now that the star has come up in music, he decided to get all of the necessary dental work done at one time.

He plans to be healed and well rested in time to kick off his Beautifully Broken Tour next month.

Having someone drive you to the airport is a big ask now that we've all got Uber.  So, it takes a good friend to do it.

Lainey Wilson just headed off to Australia for a string of concerts this month.  And Keith Urban dropped her at the airport.

She posted a video of them driving, where he teases her about all the wildlife that could KILL her . . . like redback spiders that "love toilet seats."

Kelly Clarkson had Lainey Wilson on her show and they both are huge fans of one another.  They also paired up to sing Lainey's new song called "Country's Cool Again".

"To Make You Feel My Love" was a hit for Garth Brooks in 1998.  But it was a cover song.  Bob Dylan wrote and recorded it the previous year.  It's been covered by several other artists since, including Adele in 2008.

And imagine Garth's surprise when his youngest daughter came home from school 12 or 13 years ago, absolutely gushing over Adele's version . . . and having no idea her father had ever even recorded it.

What do you gift someone who has everything?  How about a stuffed cowboy squirrel riding a pheasant?  That's exactly what Luke Combs got from his wife for his 34th birthday on Saturday.  He named him Federico the Cowboy Squirrel.

There’s a new song out from Kenny Chesney and he says it very unique. He described it and said: “I have absolutely never heard a song like this… ever. And I’ve heard a lot of songs. It’s such an unusual, fresh way to come at something you think you know and have heard everything all about. And then something falls out in a writing session, everyone looks at each other – and you all say, ‘OH! We’re writing that.’”

“Guilty Pleasure,” is the third single from his album, Born, which comes out on March 29.

SIDE NOTES

• Kenny’s Sun Goes Down 2024 Tour, kicks off at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium on April 20th.

New song out tonight at 11pm CT. Pre-save my new album #BORN and get #GuiltyPleasure when it drops tonight: https://t.co/p6bgB4gOGh pic.twitter.com/kpKIJWSOR0

Four-time Grammy winner, Keith Urban dropped a new single today (3-1), “Messed Up As Me” is from his upcoming album, that hasn’t been named yet. 

He debuted the song publicly in front of a group in Nashville that were attending Country Radio Seminar. 

From the Ryman Auditorium stage, he introduced the song by saying: “Let’s put it this way, most of us have been in dysfunctional relationships before, where there’s not a lot of compatibility, except for that one area where it’s so good you put up with all the rest.  A phone call or a night out and you’re right back where you shouldn’t be.”

“Messed Up As Me,” was produced by Keith’s longtime co-producer Dann Huff and is the second song from his album expected later this year.
