John Michael Montgomery’s New Album
John Michael Montgomery will return to the studio to start preparing for a new album this year. It’s about time seeing as how nothing has been released since Letters From Home, which came out in 2004. JohnMichael.com reports that President/Owner of Hallmark Direction Company John Dorris announced the signing of John Michael Montgomery to management representation. This agreement continues the previous eight-year relationship between the artist and this management company.
“John Michael and I have always enjoyed a wonderful friendship and successful business relationship,” says Dorris. “Our partnership spanned from his dynamic launch to his inevitable super stardom. Re-establishing these ties confirms Hallmark Direction’s belief in his future in country music.”
“I’m extremely excited to be back with my good friend John and the Hallmark family,” John Michael says. “I’ve been very fortunate to have a lot of peaks and valleys in my career. I’ve seen a lot of changes since 1992. The main thing I’ve learned is to just be myself, to treat people kindly, and if you give radio a good song, they’ll play it. I know how lucky it is to be successful in this business, and I’ve always tried to let the fans, the deejays and the people I work with know how much I appreciate them.”
Well, this is the best news I’ve heard all week. I know it’s too early, but I can’t wait to find out more information on the set date for the album. I’ll be countin’ the days down. On a different note, I decided to make a playlist of my favorite songs he has recorded, which isn’t easy because all of his songs have me Sold. Hehe, get it?

Forgotten Artists: Cal Smith - When the Florida Sunshine Opry (Eustis, FL) booked its first “name” (non-local) act back in 1999, the act they chose was Cal Smith. No wonder, since Cal is an excellent singer, musician, storyteller and showman. | View more artists featured in Paul W. Dennis' recurring "Forgotten Artists" feature »

Free Music Downloads: If you’ve only recently come to country music, or have never delved past the genre’s surface and it’s most famous names, you may not have heard of Tom Russell. That’s a shame, and The 9513’s Free Music series is here to help set you down the right path.
Martina McBride - “Ride” Catchy, but a little low on cogency–not to mention originality. And it essentially resolves into the same kind of positive “message song” that has defined so much of McBride’s recent work.
Richie McDonald - “How Do I Just Stop” So gloriously simple and unequivocally lackluster that people of every political persuasion should rejoice in the opportunity to come together and have a hearty laugh at its expense.
Donnie Vondra - “If I Didn’t Love You” Combinining a golden trifecta of country music—steel guitar, fiddle and a strong, twangy vocal—"If I Didn't Love You" pulls together a sweet, toe-tapping ditty reminiscent of Marty Raybon-era Shenandoah.
Lance Miller - “Bacon Frying” A charming country song that is beautiful for its simplicity, a musical remnant from a time when songwriters understood that often the best thing to do is just get out of the song’s way.
John Rich - “Another You” For a guy who is supposed to be a genius songwriter, John Rich sure does seem to be running out of ideas.
George Ducas - “Walk Through This World” Ducas banks on the success of recent artists’ pleasantly bland lyrics and agreeable instrumentation for his first release with WhiteStar Nashville.

I love “I Swear.” It has been my favorite song for over 15 years. My husband and I played this song at out wedding and both cried like babies. I’m so glad to hear that John is back to what he loves.
I actually get to go see John in concert for the first time on Nov 15th. That was my b-day present from my DH.
XOXOX,
Carla
