Jordan Davis has released his next single "Slow Dance In A Parking Lot", his third single from his album 'Home State', and we featured it tonight during Trending Tracks! This was a song that was written by Jordan in 2015, and he said in a press release that it was one of his favorite songs that he's ever written. It's been available on digital platforms, but now, we get to hear it in Your Country! If you missed it, take a listen and let us know what you think!

The Best Of Enemies 

Based on a true story about a civil rights case.  This stars Taraji P. Hinson, and Sam Rockwell.  Good cast, and the story on its surface seems strong enough. Both of them are really on a roll right now, and this may be the biggest step, especially for her, as her movie career is kicking into high gear.

This is an adult drama that because of the time of the year, Spring Break, may get lost in the movie hype of younger themed movies also released this week and in weeks past.

Shazam 

More superheros.  This seems to have a whole lot of parody and fun attached to it. This will be a major hit.

Pet Cemetary

Seems all the Stephen King books that were once movies are getting a second chance and this time around hoping to be taken a bit more seriously than the first time around.  It did very well, and so will this. And when this does, look for more King classics to get a second chance as well.

Luke Combs is on pace to be something that is the rarest of the rare.  A "regular guy" seemingly coming out of nowhere and rocketing to the top of the charts, and the format in general.  You have heard all the numbers, #1 here, and there, for tons of weeks.  It has all happened so fast, it's remarkable.

And this is just getting started.  Luke Combs is making a career out of flat out great, relatable music being delivered to you from a guy who is giving you a voice.  He reminds us of - us.  He's just a guy, who has the same feelings we do, with a mixed bag of emotions in his songs and it seems there is no wall between us and him.

This song and video says it all  -

He sings with feelings and words you want to hear, or he says them for you, in common speak if words don't come easy for you.  He is the "every man."  He is what many hope to be when they jump off the bus with a guitar on their backs at the Nashville bus station.  It's straight forward, it's honest and it's reality.  He gives the "regular guy" a voice, which is turning out to be anything but regular -  but rather something beyond exceptional.

Heinz released it's latest sauce creation: Kranch. Ketchup and ranch. Last year, they brought us Mayochup (mayonnaise and ketchup), along with Mayomust (mayonnaise and mustard) and Mayocue (mayonnaise and BBQ sauce). I fully support these sauce, but Kranch is where I have to draw the line.

You involve my ranch, I have something to say. Ranch is in my bloodstream. It should be left alone. You use ranch to make things better, so adding ketchup-  just NO! Ketchup, in my opinion is only useful for French fries, maybe a chicken nugget, but in this case you have a glob of ketchup over here and your ranch over there. To each their own, but I like my ranch mixed with more ranch! 

Take a look at the bottle of it all mixed together...to me soooo not appealing!
