MySpace Artist Of The Week: Bobby Duncan
I have to admit that when it comes to browsing around other sites I like to lurk more than I participate. Sometime last week while I was lurking around the Galleywinter forums I saw a link to Bobby Duncan’s MySpace profile, so out of sheer curiosity I clicked and was pleasantly surprised by what [...]

MySpace Artist Of The Week: Jeff Tuttle
Jeff Tuttle has a refreshingly older sound to his music, from his vocals to the instruments backing him up. Upon first glance he reminded me of a slightly older Joe Diffie and his sound is similar as well, mostly in that they can both be considered New Traditionalists. The comparisons stop there, Tuttle has [...]

MySpace Artist Of The Week: Jerry Adams
I was referred to Jerry Adams’ MySpace profile by Brody when it came to writing this week’s MySpace Artist of the Week feature. After a quick glance at his profile, I noticed Jerry Adams considers himself country. Not repackaged pop, not rock, just good ol’ country. A quick listen to his music confirms that he [...]

MySpace Artist Of The Week: Scott Hall
The polished vocals of Scott Hall lends to the impression that he’s been around the block a time or two, spending years in and out of the local bars perfecting his sound. After listening to his first two songs you get the feeling that slow songs are his strong suit, but that’s…

MySpace Artist Of The Week: Hali Hicks
When I first visited Hali Hicks‘ MySpace I was blown away by the song she has set on auto play, “Rain On A Tin Roof”. At 16 her voice is mature beyond her age, you can almost feel the heartbreak that she sings about in her songs. While I wasn’t as blown away with [...]

MySpace Artist Of The Week: Dave Lambert
The unpolished sound of
Dave Lambert and his guitar is what makes him our first MySpace Artist of the Week for the new year. While listening to his songs it makes me feel like I’m sitting in a restaurant with a small stage off to the side, no fancy equipment… -
Myspace Artist Of The Week: Shannon Dyer
I always find random artists to add on MySpace for our site and this guy caught my attention right off the bat. His name is Shannon Dyer and he sounds like a mix between Craig Morgan and Garth Brooks. “I’m Not Here” is my favorite song on his MySpace profile, which he co-wrote with Robert Ellis Oral.

MySpace Artist Of The Week: Lucas Hudgins & The First Cousins
The talent that you can find on MySpace amazes me. Lucas Hudgins & The First Cousins are one such talent, and although they are from Austin, I’ve never heard of them before.

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.
In this exclusive interview for The 9513, Little Big Town’s Jimi Westbrook talks about life with the band, as well as A Place to Land, the group’s current album, which has charted in the top 10 of Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart on two separate occasions
