Heidi Newfield Giveaway: What Am I Waiting For?

I dont know about one I’d like to see go solo, but I know one I’d like to see go “un-solo” and that is Randy Owen. The few times I’ve heard him recently without his Alabama cohorts, he’s sounded AWFUL. (Admittedly I havent heard a lot, but what I’ve heard is bad.)

godley and creme. either one could go solo and i’d be happy.

do i win?

Hmm, that’s a hard one, but I’d love to have this CD. I’ll go with Ronnie Dunn also. Not original, but I do love his voice and I think he could do some awesome solo songs.

Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek, she has an amazing voice. I heard a while ago she was going to, but nothing has come of it yet, so I hope she hurries up.

Lots of giveaways this week, and they’re both albums I want to get anyway, so I hope I win one. xD

I never really thought Alabama sounded much like a vocal group. To me, Owen could have had any other back up singers and sound virtually the same. I never heard anything uniquely group like from them, like with Diamond Rio or the Statler Brothers. So, to me Owen pretty much sounds as he did when he was with Alabama, though his song choices haven’t been as good.

I second Sara Watkins. I love her voice and keep looking for that album they keep talking about.

Note: I just wanted to comment, I don’t need to be entered into this drawing.

I’d pick Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town just because she’s um, well HOT! (lol) I’d like to be able to see her on stage or in pictures without all those other distracting people around her…..

My second choice would be Lillie Mae of Jypsi to hear what she’d sound like apart from the family band.

Heidi Newfield may not have the prettiest face in Nashville, but she more than makes up for it by distracting us guys with her bosom…..

I would like for Kassidy Osborne from SHeDAISY to do a solo album. I love the subtleties in her voice, and although she sounds great with her sisters, i think she could shine on her own as well.

I wonder what would Natalie Maines do without Emily and Martie?

I’d probably say Ronnie Dunn too, but just to be different I’ll say Brett of the Warren Brothers.

I am gonna go with Kix Brooks is voice is like heart lotion for me.

I also have to say Ronnie Dunn. Kix makes little contribution to B&D, so what’s the point in keeping him around?

Its already been said, but I’d go with Ronnie Dunn.

As for those in the past, I think Wynonna going from a duo to on her own has been one of the greatest transformations. She was able to tackle different styles of music solo and was much more limited in the Judds (even though I still love their stuff).

jake owen might have some useful experience there.

I’m gonna go with Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland.

Charles Kelly of Lady Antebellum.

I’d love to see Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town establish a solo career. She is so talented and I would love to hear that great voice of her’s stand alone without the sometimes superfluous and unncessary harmonies of the rest of Little Big Town.

I’m going with Linda Davis’ daughter, Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum. I love her voice, but L.A’s album dissapointed me, because we didn’t hear enough of her beaustiful voice, and the songs were so-so.

I would have to second Courtney’s idea and say that I would love to hear a solo Sara Watkins (Nickel Creek) album. “Reasons Why” is one of my all-time favorite songs. Such a haunting vocal performance from Sara. I vote for her.

Kassidy Osborne and Jennifer Nettles would be interesting, but honestly, Sugarland is basically the Jennifer Nettles band, and SHeDAISY is more or less a Kassidy Osborne act with two very good background singers. I don’t see either ladies producing an album that would stray too far from their past projects.

On a side note, I would say that one of the most disappointing solo projects from a former band member would be Amanda Wilkinsons’ Universal South album. I was a huge fan of the Wilkinsons during their popular years, but the long-awaited solo album from Amanda was extremely cookie-cutter and bland. Aside from “Pontiacs” and “Gone From Love Too Long”, the album was a real dud.

I already posted but I wanted to comment:

Also, Kassidy Osborne would be nothing without Kristyn, who has written or co-written all but one of Shedaisy’s songs, so I think Kassidy would be worse by herself.

Also “Reasons Why” is another one of my all time favorites as well. “Beauty and the Mess” and “Should’ve Known Better” are two other amazing performances by Sara.

Yeah you seconded me after I posted it here a few days ago. xD

But that’s how good she is! She deserves to mentioned many times!

I’ll put in another vote for Ronnie Dunn.

And the winners are: MikeKY, Bobby and Mike. I’ll be contacting you by e-mail to get your information.
