Circus Girl, Circus Girl Records (Sherrie Austin) Sherrie returns with her Country solo project after 8 years hiatus of being behind the scenes. The singer/songwriter brings her real lyrics to the table of Country music; as demonstrated in the vulnerable track of "Tryin' to Be Me". The album title song “Circus Girl” summarizes the outsider perspective of an entertainer in a nutshell. The album then takes a sassy turn in the song "I Didn't" which details out a comical list of differences between two personality opposites in a relationship. The project takes a transition to a woman’s thoughts on trying to find a guy, through the spectacles of a guy in "If I Was a Man." The project then becomes more serious in "Get Your Leaving' Done" - a tune about a lover letting their other half leave without trying to hold onto the relationship. In the track "He's All Yours," Sherrie throws a lot of emotion into the tainted love song. Most females will enjoy this collection of music which takes a look at females in every day situations. www.sherrieaustinmusic.com |

Redemption, Average Joe's (Josh Gracin)Josh gives a soulful twist to Country music with his latest album which was released in November of 2011 during CMA Awards week. The American Idol Finalist puts forth his own songwriting ability on the album with incredible lyrics into a man's conscience from the song "Enough" to the very soulful tune, "I Want to Make You Cry." This collection of music is truly amazing for the independent singer. If you get a chance to pick up this album, please do. His current single is "Long Way to Go" is also a gem to check out, strong enough to compete in today's Country mainstream. www.joshgracin.com |

Single Review: Even if it Breaks Your Heart, Republic Nashville (Eli Young Band) The Eli Young Band come back with another catchy track; front man singer Mike gives the perfect balance of toned down vocals on the verses but builds dramatically to the chorus. The lyrics are also a great concept, once again, like "Crazy Girl"...the message is clear..."Keep on dreamin' even if it breaks your heart". I prefer this hook much more with its subtly & originality. Iwww.eliyoungband.com |

Single Review: You Don't Know Her Like I Do, Valory Music Co. (Brantley Gilbert) Brantley becomes sentimental in the latest tune; the Southern-rocker vocalizes a more soft image with the love lyrics. Keeping with the same edgy Country rock instruments, Brantley makes sure to get the point across with his desperate plea of "You Don't Know Her Like I Do". With this tune, overall, Gilbert gives more depth vocally. www.brantleygilbert.com |
