(She\u2019ll make her third appearance on January 6, just a few days after returning to the Grand Ole Opry.) Her newest video, \u201cTears,\u201d was shot in Mammoth Lakes, California, and features actor Casey Deidrick (<em>In the Dark<\/em>, <em>Driven<\/em>).<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\"> Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wp0cCqDbfdw?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wp0cCqDbfdw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>\t<\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Ronnie Dunn<\/strong>, <em>Re-Dunn<\/em> (January 10)<\/p>\n<p>Ronnie Dunn made a very long list of songs he wanted to record for <em>Re-Dunn<\/em>, his upcoming covers album, then finally narrowed it down to a dozen country classics and another dozen rock radio staples. Dunn planted his roots in the Oklahoma honky-tonks well before skyrocketing to superstardom with Brooks &amp; Dunn, so tracks like \u201cAmarillo by Morning\u201d and \u201cThat\u2019s the Way Love Goes\u201d suit his singing style perfectly. Brooks &amp; Dunn were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2019.<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\"> Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6CQJyrin_Wk?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6CQJyrin_Wk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>\t<\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Little Big Town<\/strong>, <em>Nightfall<\/em> (January 17)<\/p>\n<p>One of the band\u2019s most thoughtful projects, <em>Nightfall<\/em> is quieter than you\u2019d expect \u2014 although if you were thinking that nightfall is when happy hour is, then skip ahead to the liberating breakup song, \u201cOver Drinking.\u201d But for much of the project, Karen Fairchild is wringing the emotions out of heavy topics like disillusionment, frustration, and keeping up appearances, with her bandmates sweeping in for musical and emotional support. As moody as it is, <em>Nightfall<\/em> shines because of their impeccable vocal blend.<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\"> Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CQ1XA6AMmjg?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CQ1XA6AMmjg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>\t<\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Dustin Lynch<\/strong>, <em>Tullahoma<\/em> (January 17)<\/p>\n<p>Named for his Tennessee hometown, <em>Tullahoma<\/em> is packed with songs that Dustin Lynch thinks country fans can identify with.

Now, New West Records is marking the 15th anniversary edition of <em>Blame the Vain<\/em>, his first album for that label and his first without producer Pete Anderson.

One of the most emotional sets in Bentley\u2019s catalog, the project is impacted by the loss of his father and the birth of his son, as heard on the hit \u201cI Hold On,\u201d yet it\u2019s probably most notable for \u201cDrunk on a Plane.\u201d Let the needle run all the way to the end for \u201cHurt Somebody,\u201d a deep cut for Dierks\u2019 die-hard fans.

Recorded at Sonic Ranch in El Paso, Texas, the project has already spawned four digital singles, the best of these being the lonesome title track.
