In addition to releasing the lead single, “It All Comes Out in the Wash,” from her upcoming seventh studio album on July 18, Miranda Lambert dropped a driving new bonus track, “Locomotive.”
Miranda co-penned the new track, which she describes as “total country punk-rock,” with Ashley Monroe and K.S. Rhodes. Miranda debuted the high-speed song at Nashville’s CMA Fest in June.

Miranda Lambert dropped her first single in more than 15 months with the release of “It All Comes Out in the Wash” on July 18.
The new tune, which was co-penned by Miranda, Lori McKenna, Liz Rose and Hillary Lindsey, is expected to serve as the lead single from Miranda’s upcoming seventh studio album.
“I wrote ‘It All Comes Out in the Wash’ with the Love Junkies, some of my favorite people to write with—Lori McKenna, Liz Rose and Hillary Lindsey,” says Miranda. “And I had the title for a while written down in my phone. We like to talk about girly things and things going on in life when we write together, so I feel like the song is just kind of a mix of scenarios that all of us have either been a part of or seen or, ya know, something that’s happened in all of our lives, and realizing that when you have something in your life that’s a little unclean at times or hurtful or a moment that you wish would pass, it does all pass and it all comes out in the wash. That’s something that all of our moms would say to us when we were little—let’s not worry about a stain. I’m really proud of it. It’s a really fun song.”

Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt spoke to the media in the Radio Room on Tuesday at SEC Football Media Days.
He covered a lot of different topics including how he feels about this year’s team.
“I’ve been coaching since, I don’t know my math’s not very good, since 1997. I’m as excited about this football team as any I’ve ever been around. It’s not about how many games we’re going to win or anything like that. I know that’s how you’re measured, but it’s just about being around people and how they go to work.”

He covered a lot of different topics including teammate Trey Smith.
“I think me and Trey have always been very good friends. With his health, we would love if he played. If he didn’t, we also would be happy with him. As long as he’s healthy and happy, I’m always there with him.”

He covered a lot of different topics including the impact he believes the defense will make this season.
“I think that we’ll do a good job, and you guys will see this season, how we will disrupt offenses and we will wreak havoc in the backfield and in the passing game. You’ll just have to wait and see that this season. You’ll be surprised at what we’ll do.”

DALLAS – Tennessee football rising junior running back Ty Chandler was named to the 2019 Doak Walker Award preseason candidate list on Wednesday by the PwC SMU Athletic Forum. The award is presented annually to the nation’s top college running back.
Chandler has proven to be one of the SEC’s most explosive and versatile running backs over his two seasons on Rocky Top.
The Nashville, Tenn., native led the Vols with 630 rushing yards on 115 carries (5.5 ypc) in 2018, while hauling in 19 receptions for 183 yards. He led UT with seven total touchdowns with four coming on the ground and three scoring grabs.
He became the first Vol since 2006 with two runs of 75 yards or more. Chandler also permanently etched his name in the Tennessee record books as the first Vol running back to record a touchdown reception in three consecutive games. He ran for a career-high 158 yards against UTEP early in the season and closed out the fall with 80 or more yards rushing in the final three games.
Chandler rushed for 305 yards and two touchdowns as a freshman in 2018 and also ranked fourth in the SEC with a 26.1 kickoff return average. He had a 91-yard kickoff return touchdown versus Indiana State and rushed for 120 yards at Kentucky.

Tim McGraw is showing no signs of writer’s block.

According to the press release, the new lifestyle book “melds Tim’s personal fitness transformation story with practical advice to inspire healthy changes in readers’ lives.” The new book, which goes on sale on Nov. 5, is available for pre-sale now.

— Tim McGraw (@TheTimMcGraw) July 17, 2019
Grit & Grace‘s official synopsis is below.
From Grammy-Award winning music superstar and actor Tim McGraw comes a one-of-a kind lifestyle book that melds his personal fitness transformation story with practical advice to inspire healthy changes in readers’ lives.
Tim McGraw is as well-known for his unparalleled accomplishments in the entertainment industry as he is for his boundless energy—he is the embodiment of vitality and success. But only a decade ago, he found himself struggling with his health. The demands of his meteoric career and life on the road had taken a toll. McGraw came to a crossroads where knew that unless he made his physical health a priority, he would put his personal happiness and professional success at risk. In Grit & Grace, McGraw shares his transformation story along with encouragement, practical advice and mental approach together with exercise tips to help readers become healthy, strong and fit in mind and body.
For the first time, McGraw will share the details of the mental and physical routine that got him in the best shape of his life. He suggests that there is no magic formula to getting stronger and healthier: it is about making a commitment to do and be better, and holding yourself accountable each day. McGraw didn’t follow a playbook or have a squad of trainers overseeing his every step. He describes his way of getting into shape as more “maverick”—tuning into a vision of what you personally want to achieve, staying focused, and putting in the work.
McGraw says his physical transformation has ignited a whole-life transformation. “My mind is clearer, my sense of purpose is sharper, and my relationships are deeper. Consistent physical exercise helps me bring focus to my life and to the people who mean the most to me.” In Grit & Grace, McGraw makes this transformation accessible to anyone, sharing with readers the physical and mental tools they can use to create the life they deserve.
