Jerry Audley - “Lucky Me, Lonely You”
Songwriters: Ronnie Dunn, Terry Mcbride, Shawn Camp
This song is currently #1 on the Texas Music Chart
Jerry Audley’s “Lucky Me, Lonely you” is an enjoyable tune that reveals Audley’s sincerity as a country music singer. Unfortunately it’s also a deeply flawed number that annoyed me on several levels.
This is the song equivalent of Toby Keith’s […] -
Ten Most Disappointing Albums of 2007
The list of the most disappointing albums of the year includes a few good albums, some great artists, disappointing studio sets from veteran acts and two poor debut records. Here’s hoping that everybody does better next time.
10. Living Hard, Gary Allan
Gary Allan is at his best when he paints outside the lines. Smoke […] -
Patty Loveless Gears Up For Her Third Trip On the Santa Train
Gary Allan has no balls, as illustrated by his latest album — Living Hard — and just so you know, Ronnie Dunn and John Anderson are merely average Nashville singers, too. I wish I was just making this stuff up, folks.
Tours featuring two mega-stars are in. First it was Kenny Chesney and LeAnn Rimes, then […]Continue reading "Patty Loveless Gears Up For Her Third Trip On the Santa Train"

Elizabeth Cook Is One Heck Of A Clogger And Women Sing About Revenge
Chris Cagle has been in the studio working on his next project. His last Top 5 hit came in 2003, so hopefully he can deliver on this one.
In a move that is bound to alienate some of his fans, Darryl Worley will be appearing nude in the July 2007 issue of Playgirl magazine. Jason […]Continue reading "Elizabeth Cook Is One Heck Of A Clogger And Women Sing About Revenge"

Forgotten Artists: Bradley Kincaid In a manner similar to Alan Lomax, William Bradley “The Kentucky Mountain Boy” Kincaid was one of the great American musicologists and collectors of American folk, country and parlor songs.
Forgotten Artists: Goldie Hill Had Carl Smith and Goldie Hill been born 30 or 40 years later, they might have been like Faith Hill and Tim McGraw–the dominant married couple in country music.
Miranda Lambert - “More Like Her” This kind of material, as opposed to her tough-chick-done-wrong romps like “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” and “Gunpowder and Lead,” is where her real promise lies
Joey Rory - “Cheater, Cheater” It’s actually downright frivolous, but that just makes it all the more fun. And really, are you allowed to say “ho” on country radio?
Josh Gracin - “Unbelievable (Ann Marie)” Despite initial marketing that touted the album as deep and personal, “Unbelievable (Ann Marie)” is anything but deep or personal.
Josh Turner - "Everything Is Fine" Turner is the rare example of an artist who records material that’s both quality and trademark.
Darryl Worley - "Tequila On Ice" A groovy mid-tempo that sways, a refreshing reprieve from the exhausting pace of a format that clamors for loud music and swelling choruses.
Blake Shelton - "She Wouldn't Be Gone" It’s all about nailing the melody rather than providing a legitimate interpretation that accentuates the lyrical content, although Shelton does do a pretty good job of injecting what limited emotion he can.
Don’t look now, but Darius Rucker, lead singer of 90s rock group Hootie & The Blowfish, has a country hit on his hands. What you probably haven’t heard is that Rucker is the first black artist to chart a single in the country top 20 since Charley Pride last did it in 1988.
News that former Sugarland member and co-founder Kristen Hall is suing her ex-mates, to the tune of $1.5 million, goes a long way towards providing a bit of context regarding the Atlanta singer/songwriter’s sudden departure from the group.
In Memory of Don Helms (1927 - 2008) Helms dated back to a time when an excellent four or five piece band and a good singer were all that were needed to make great country music. No drums, no light shows, no production tricks in the recording studio–just good music.Current Discussion
