The Reason Why, Capitol Records (Little Big Town) Hot off the airwaves with “Little White Church” is the staple Country group set to release a full compilation of tunes that evoke various emotions in different musical styles. There is a little bit of everything on this album including a tinge of Blues on the tune "Runaway Train" along with a more Traditional Country mix set in the lyrics of 'You Can't Have Everything." Phillip from the band was right in describing this followup album, releasing on Capitol records, as a new musical direction for the four part harmonic crew. This album is a definite must for your music collection. Release date is currently set for August 24th. Catch more news at www.littlebigtown.com |

This Song is For You, Vanguard/Sugar Hill Records (Joey + Rory) The wife/husband duo took their inspirations from society and penned a tune of appreciation. The song includes guest vocals from the Zac Brown Band in a slow-down traditional Country melody with lyrics talking about the men and women working hard to keep this Country educated, protected, and running smoothly. The anthem-like message is simple yet to the point and has a nice rounded hook throughout the songs' entirety. You can download it for free now by visiting: www.joeyandrory.com/download |

Top Down, Universal Republic (Fast Ryde) Both James and Jody have fun with the music they make but it isn't the ordinary Country music you may hear as exampled in the synthesized track of "Top Down." The guys add a flair of current times trendy production with the infusion of traditional Country instruments such as the steel guitar and fiddle, combined with a very catchy hook. This summer mantra won't force its melody in to your head but it will breeze into your memory and encourage the want to sing along.You can find out more by visiting www.fastryde.com

Sweet Home Alabama, Universal Music (Various Artists) The ultimate Southern Rock band receives an honorary tribute in this compilation of 8 tunes from the freshest faces of Country artists. The song casting is very well done on each of these 'outlaw' type singers in Country who give their rendition of the Classics. Eric Church proves to be an old soul on his version of "The Ballad of Curtis Loew" but what is most striking on this album is Jamey Johnson's perfect vocal production in the tune "Four Walls of Raiford." The traditional style of Jamey's mark hits the nail on the head in his delivery of this dobro melodic song. You can purchase the album through
any Walmart Store.www.walmart.com |

Farmboy, Breed Love (Ray Stephenson) Receiving a warm welcome as an artist is writer Ray Stephenson who has his own released tune "Farmboy." The vocals display a Jefferey Steele (Rascal Flatts, Montgomery Gentry) type feel in the tune. The song was co-written by Ray and well-known tunesmith Bob Dipero. Ray has been around for a while and has already had cuts by Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Guy Clark, so needless to say this self-released album has been a long time coming.If you would like to hear more & see where you can find his music check out www.myspace.com/raystephenson |
