Jennifer Nettles "That Girl" Album Review


     
     Jennifer Nettles has created her first solo album, following years as part of the trio turned duo Sugarland. Sugarland started out very promising, with a solid debut album. Unfortunately, they slowly but surely headed down the pop road with each album as they went. When Kristian Bush and Jennifer Nettles announced a brief departure from the duo, I was curious to see where they would go on their own. While the duo lost their way, Sugarland released some great music, including "Baby Girl", "Want To", and the modern masterpiece, "Stay". Jennifer Nettle's album That Girl is pretty far from Sugarland, but it is certainly an interesting album worth your attention.

Jason Eady "Daylight & Dark" Album Review




     Jason Eady is back with the follow up to his killer 2012 album AM Country Heaven. That album was solid country gold, and the title track placed number 6 on the 2012 Keep It Country Kids Best Songs of The Year list. Daylight & Dark is in a very similar vein to Am Country Heaven, never straying from his traditional roots. If this is any sign of what 2014 will bring us, its going to be a huge year for country music.

Keith Urban "Cop Car" Single Review


     Keith Urban has released the third single from his album Fuse.  "Cop Car"" is the selection, and it is already climbing the charts quickly.  Keith has played it safe of late, releasing songs that aren't bad but don't really have that "wow"" factor either.  That being said, "We Were Us" with Miranda Lambert was one of his best singles in years, and "Cop Car" is even better.

Eric Church "Give Me Back My Hometown" Single Review


      After the title track to Eric Church's upcoming album, The Outsiders, raised some eyebrows and sparked discussion but failed to tear up the charts, Eric has released the second single, "Give Me Back My Hometown".  While this song is a throwback to other songs in the Eric Church mold, it features some new elements that make it a very different and very intriguing song.
