I think Joe Galante’s comment that Craig Morgan shouldn’t have been successful at Broken Bow is perplexing. Does this mean Jason Aldean shouldn’t have been successful on that label either? Randy Owen (formerly of Alabama) recently choose that label and I doubt he was under duress. Megan Mullins has now completed her debut album for Broken Bow and its just a matter of time until its released (I hope).

Chris, When I see a 3.5 star rating at Country Weekly I know it represents an average, okay album that is middle of the road. Its the four star and higher ratings that catch my attention just because I feel the albums must have some special merit to garner something above the norm.

Tidbit: Jamey Johnson’s “That Lonesome Song” CD is sale priced currently at Best Buy for $ 7.99 as well as Heidi Newfield’s new album.

Crystal Shawanda performed a short acoustic set in Long Beach, CA last Friday afternoon and she blew me away with her vocals. It was just Crystal and her husband DeWayne with acoustic guitars and as Taylor Swift might say, it was awesome! Songs included Ben E. King’s “Stand By Me”, Keith Whitley’s “I’m Over You”, and Hank Williams’ “You Win Again” as well as about half the songs off “Dawn of a New Day”. If you get a chance to catch Crystal doing an acoustic set, DON’T miss the opportunity.

The bikini is clearly a present for US.

Also.. I hope LeeAnn can find time to do a “Live at Billy Bob’s” CD. That would be a blast.

chris, brody,
if you put a bell curve (normal distribution) on top of the five star rating system, it’ll confirm your observation. statistically, is has to be that way. the fact that there are too few 2 and 2.5 star verdicts is probably due to a slightly too positive bias among people who like country music in general.

Joe Galante’s comment in the Craig Morgan interview: I walked around for two years telling people we need to be making records the way you are making records because you were very successful at a label you shouldn’t have been successful at. So I trusted you would do the same here.’

That’s a pretty blunt, honest assessment from probably the most successful label head in Nashville.

As for 3.5 star reviews, if/whenever Roughstock’s star rating sytem gets implemented, most would fall in that 3-3.5 out of 5 category as well.
