Brad Paisley "I Can't Change The World" Single Review

     Brad Paisley has released the third single from his high profile Wheelhouse album.  This album has been loved and hated by many since it's release, containing controversial songs and touchy subject matters. The first single was solid, the second was a little dry.  How does the third single, "I Can't Change The World" hold up?

Charlie Worsham "Could It Be" Single Review

      Newcomer Charlie Worsham has released his debut single "Could It Be" off his upcoming album Rubberband.  Charlie can hardly be called a newcomer, he has been an accomplished songwriter and musician for years.  Now, Charlie is making his own impact on the radio waves with this infectious and fun single.

Dierks Bentley "Bourbon In Kentucky" Single Review

     Dierks Bentley has released the first single off his highly anticipated new album Riser.  Dierks is one of the best in country music at mixing traditional country with modern country in a sound that stays true to the genre, but still has commercial success.  "Bourbon In Kentucky" is the first single from an album described as moody and deep.  If this single is a beacon for where the new album is headed, we are in for a treat.

Sturgill Simpson "High Top Mountain" Album Review

     Once in a while, a country album comes out that makes you stop in your tracks and just listen.  Sturgill Simpson has come through with his new release, High Top Mountain.  The old school driving honky tonk sound is alive and well with this collection of tunes.  If you really love country music, and I mean real, hardcore, punch you in the belly and rip out your heart country music, you are doing yourself a disservice if you don’t own this album.

George Strait "Love Is Everything" Album Review

     The great George Strait is back with a new album, Love Is Everything.  There are few things that are certain in life.  Death, taxes, and every few years George Strait will release a straight up country album full of great songs.  George has once again proven this to be true.  Love Is Everything is everything you would expect from Strait, but still feels fresh and current, as he always does.

The Pistol Annies "Annie Up" Album Review

     The Pistol Annies are back for round 2.  The all girl trio of Angaleena Presley, Ashley Monroe, and Miranda Lambert made a lot of noise and got a lot of folks talking with their debut Hell On Heels.   The ladies are back for more sass, more soul, and more straight up country goodness with their follow-up Annie Up.

Craig Campbell "Never Regret" Album Review

     Craig Campbell has just released his second album Never Regret.  Craig gained a lot of attention and respect with his huge debut single "Family Man" from his self titled debut album.  That album was a Renaissance of sorts to the laid-back feel of early 90's country.  Craig doesn't stray too far from this formula on his new release, and works it to perfection.

Tyler Farr "Redneck Crazy" Single Review

     Newcomer Tyler Farr has been making a splash on radio lately with his new single "Redneck Crazy".  Just looking at the title, you'd expect another party-in-the-barn type song about being country with recycled lyrics.  This song digs a little deeper than that however.  But, is it a heartfelt love song, or just another rehash of the same themes?

Remembering George Jones

     On Friday, country music was dealt a terrible blow when we lost the legendary George Jones. "The Possum" was a country music giant, with a voice unlike any other. George was in the middle of his farewell run, The Grand Tour, but sadly, could not make it to the end. I would like to share a few words and spend some time remembering George Jones.
