Wynonna is a “Kentucky Queen” on her first new solo album in a decade.
She co-wrote the lead single from The Hard Truth, which comes out Oct. 2, with her husband and producer, Cactus Moser, who first rose to fame with his band Highway 101.
“I’ve spent a lifetime singing about heartbreak, healing, faith, and survival, but I’ve never made a record like this one,” Wynonna says. “These songs tell the truth about where I’ve been, what I’ve lost, what I’ve overcome, and who I’ve become.”
“This album asked me to be brave enough to tell the truth,” she continues, “even when my voice shook. It challenged me to let go of perfectionism and embrace the beauty of honest emotion. My hope is that when you hear these songs, you feel what I was feeling while writing and recording them. If they help someone feel seen, understood, or a little less alone, then every hard truth was worth telling.”
You’ll have your chance to chat with Wy about the album on June 15, as she autographs copies live on TalkShopLive.
She’ll also do a special release day show Oct. 2 in her hometown of Ashland, Kentucky.
You can catch Wynonna on her co-headling trek with rock legend Melissa Etheridge this summer.
Here’s the complete track listing for The Hard Truth: “Prelude (All Downhill From Ashland)” “All Downhill From Ashland” “Everything” (feat. Patterson Hood) “Am I Missing Out” “Broken And Blessed” “Hear Me Now” (feat. Iron & Wine) “The Hopeful Lie” (feat. The War And Treaty) “Kentucky Queen” “Girl Who Could Sing” “Drive” “Love Ain’t Got The Best Of Me”

Cardi B attended the New York Knicks game Monday night not only as a spectator but also as a performer.
She took to the court at Madison Square Garden during halftime, performing “Bodega Baddie” from Am I the Drama? and her breakout hit “Bodak Yellow” from her debut album, Invasion of Privacy. She was joined by dancers dressed in Knicks jersey dresses.
Following her performance, Cardi sat courtside with 4-year-old son Wave, though she was not impressed with her seats.
“They got me right next to the opps! But I’mma be nice, ’cause I know this is a lot for them,” she joked on her Instagram Story.
While Cardi’s performance didn’t air during the game’s TV broadcast, it was available via the premium NBA League Pass broadcast.
Avery Wilson, who has been performing “The Star-Spangled Banner” during most of Knicks’ 2026 postseason, once again sang the national anthem.
The night ended with the Knicks losing to the San Antonio Spurs, 111-115.

‘Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul’ (Subtext/Rolling Stone Films)
The Gregg Allman documentary The Music of My Soul premieres Tuesday in New York City, and while there’s bound to be plenty of Allman Brothers Band music in the film, there will also be a new track by country star Jackson Dean.
The tune, “My Cross to Bear,” will close the film. Director James Keach enlisted Grammy-winning music maker Julian Raymond to create the track.
Ultimately, the tune is Jackson’s tribute to the man behind the Allman Brothers Band and iconic songs like “Midnight Rider,” ‘Whipping Post” and “I’m No Angel.”
“Gregg Allman lived a life that was so much larger than life, both the highs and the lows, and to sing a song that represents all of that is a lot,” Jackson says. “For me, I wanted to honor him, put everything I had, all that I know about living between the cracks and on those blazing stages into it. But I also knew I wanted to just let the power of who he was move through me and not think … just be.”
“He was an influence and hero to anyone who loves the blues, who chooses to live this life,” Jackson adds. “He was so much more than a song, an album or even the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and it’s all there when you hear him sing. He wrote some of the greatest Southern rock songs ever, but it’s not the words, it’s what’s in the notes when he sings them.”
After the Big Apple premiere, Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul travels to Macon, Georgia, for a hometown opening on Thursday. It will also have one-week exclusive engagements in Los Angeles and New York, before playing in theaters nationwide on June 17.

(TORONTO) — An Air Canada pilot was arrested Monday after a probe discovered he had been allegedly flying hundreds of flights for at least 17 years without a proper license.
Canadian police officials outlined Geoffrey Wall’s alleged fraud, which they said, “read like a movie script.”
Since 2009, when Wall was promoted to captain, he has been flying with a fraudulent airline transport pilot license, the credential that would allow him to fly commercial airplanes as a captain, Peel Regional Police said.
Authorities compared Wall to a doctor who is licensed to practice family medicine marching into a hospital to perform brain surgery.
“Licensing requirements exist for a reason. They exist to keep people safe,” Deputy Chief Nick Milinovich of the Peel Regional Police said.
Wall’s arrest was part of a fraud investigation dubbed “Project Icarus,” which started after a random certification check done last year at Pearson International Airport in Toronto turned up “anomalies,” investigators said.
Wall, 59, of Barrie, Ontario, is no longer working with Air Canada, the airline said Monday night.
In a news release, Air Canada said it “takes this matter with utmost seriousness.”
“Safety was not compromised by this incident because all pilots at Air Canada undergo mandatory recurrent training every six months to validate their flying competency, including a flight check with a certified Transport Canada check-pilot every 12 months,” the airline said in a statement.
“However, appropriate licensing is an essential layer of the airline industry’s multi-layered approach to safety, so Air Canada takes this matter with utmost seriousness,” it added.
Wall is charged with fraud, public mischief and other offenses. He was released on his own recognizance and is due back in court later this month.

(WASHINGTON) — President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson are meeting at the White House on Tuesday as the deadline nears for Congress to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Their huddle comes as Trump’s choice of Bill Pulte to be acting director of national intelligence slows efforts on Capitol Hill to renew the controversial spy program by end of day Friday, or face the first-ever lapse in the program’s legal authorization.
Democrats in both chambers have signaled objections to Pulte, contending the director of the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency does not have any national intelligence experience.
As he left the Capitol on Tuesday, Johnson told ABC News Correspondent Jay O’Brien that it’s up to the president to choose whoever he wants to run the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, rebuffing pressure to change course.
“Is it time for the president to change his mind on Bill Pulte as acting DNI?” ABC’s O’Brien asked Johnson.
“It’s the president’s prerogative,” Johnson answered. “I’m going over there right now to visit with him and his team about a number of items.”
At the top of that list is FISA’s Section 702, which allows the federal government to collect communications of foreigners abroad without a warrant, including when those people are communicating with Americans. The program has been fully reauthorized by Congress three times since the intelligence tool was created by law in 2008.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise told reporters that Trump and Johnson are meeting “to finalize this agreement on FISA.”
“FISA has been used time and time again to stop terrorist attacks here on our homeland on American soil to prevent terrorist attacks, and that’s a critical, critical tool that we need to renew,” Scalise said.
Johnson signaled that the House is waiting for the Senate to act on FISA, a feat that will require the bipartisan support of at least 60 senators.
“We passed FISA reauthorization in the House in April. It’s still sitting over in the Senate. They’re working on another compromise bill,” Johnson told ABC News. “We’ll pass what they send.”
Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters on Tuesday that he believes Trump is “weighing seriously” naming a permanent nominee to serve as director of national intelligence as Pulte’s appointment stalls FISA movement on the Senate floor. Pulte can only serve on an acting basis for up to 210 days without Senate confirmation.
Thune said he has not spoken directly to Trump about Pulte but that he’s “been in contact with somebody over there that cares a lot about this.”
“I don’t think [it’s] about replacing Pulte,” Thune said when asked about what the White House might be considering as a next step. “I think they’re weighing seriously making a long-term pick.”
Pulte is best known in the Trump administration for launching probes into several of the president’s perceived political enemies over allegations of mortgage fraud and possible misuse of authority. Targets of the investigations include Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, New York Attorney General Letitia James, Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff and former Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell. They’ve all denied wrongdoing.
Before the president announced he was tapping Pulte to lead ODNI in the wake of Tulsi Gabbard’s resignation, a bipartisan group of lawmakers was coalescing toward passage of a three-year FISA reauthorization. But Democrats are now balking at a long-term extension over their objections to Pulte.
“This was a bipartisan, bicameral, four-corners deal that everybody had pretty much signed off on, and the naming of Pulte to that position, although the timing arguably wasn’t the best, I still don’t think it ought to derail something that’s this important,” Thune said last Friday.

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is coming back for a third and final season.
The Netflix series, based on Holly Jackson’s bestselling novels, stars Emma Myers as teen detective Pippa Fitz-Amboi.
Jackson, also an executive producer on the series, tells Tudum that she’s “ecstatic” to bring the final book in her series, As Good as Dead, to the screen.
“As Good as Dead is my favorite of the book series, and it’s by far my favorite season of the show too,” she says. “You’ll see Pip as you’ve never seen her before. It’s dark, breathless, horrible, and somehow still manages to be funny. Come on back to Little Kilton for the final time … if you dare.”
Myers says book three is her favorite book in the trilogy as well and tells fans, “Get ready for a crazy time!”
According to Tudum, the four-episode third season has wrapped production and will debut sometime in 2027.

Blink-182 is teasing something related to the band’s 2001 album, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket.
The “All the Small Things” trio posted artwork from the Take Off Your Pants and Jacket cover to Facebook alongside a link to sign up for their email list.
Notably, the post comes days before Take Off Your Pants and Jacket turns 25 on Friday, perhaps suggesting that some sort of 25th anniversary celebration is in the works.
Take Off Your Pants and Jacket marked the fourth blink-182 album and was the follow-up to their massive 1999 breakout effort, Enema of the State. It spawned singles in “First Date,” “The Rock Show” and “Stay Together for the Kids,” and became the first blink album to hit #1 on the Billboard 200.
In related news, blink-182 is confirmed to headline the 2027 editions of Germany’s Rock am Ring and Rock im Park festivals.
