Johnny Napp, indie Johnny Napp) As a local Nashvillean artist, Johnny works hard on sounding completely original with some 'Elvis'-inspired vocals mixed in the Southern-rock album. The charisma is reflected in his music, as he gives a cool-vibe without being over-the-top. His second track-'Shake It Off' displays this marriage of rock and country, to prove he has innovation to stand out from other male artists. My radio-ready choice is the beginning track-'I Don't Care', which has a strong hook. His music is available at: www.johnnynapp.com. Also check out the Johnny Napp Interview given from the CMA Fest & his live performance of 'I Don't Care' at: Johnny Napp Perf. at Limelight.

Livin' Off The Land, Dream It records (Jason Brown) Jason's style is laid-back & simple. Like his current single-'We're All The Same Boat', the lyrics give that 'Alan Jackson' feel. Hailing from Des Moines, Iowa, Jason mentions his home-land being saturated with untapped musical talent. My pick off the album is his track-'Can't Afford Not Too', which could be a great slow-tune single for his next release. If you want to listen to more of his music, go to: www.jasonbrowncountry.com & watch the interview I gave with Jason at CMA Fest 08: Jason Brown Interview.

The High Notes, Cracker Barrel (Ricky Skaggs) Ricky's Greatest Hits Album from a Bluegrass perspective is nothing short of excellent. With classic songs such as 'Heartbroke', 'Cat's In The Cradle' & 'Highway 40 Blues', Ricky acoustically produces remakes of his past hits. His album is in all Cracker Barrel stores, or you can go to Cracker Barrel Store online to purchase this collection of music. |

Try A Little Kindness, indie (Greg McDougal) Greg's pure, innocent vocals shine through on his current project. His current single-'Loving You', sang with Tammy Cochran, sends out the same emotion Tammy had with her song-'Angels In Waiting'. In the interview with Greg, he gave his story behind the album. You can view it at: Greg Interview; the album is being sold on his web site- www.ahouseformykids.com. All proceeds will go to his charity for Cystic Fibrosis, once the allergen-free house is built for his children, who are also diagnosed with the same disease. Other duets on the album include-'Dust On The Bible' with the Oak Ridge Boys & 'The Great Commission' with Grammy Award-winning, Randy Kohrs.
