Album Review: Tornado By Little Big Town
Little Big Town, the country group comprised of Phillip Sweet, Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, and Jimi Westbrook, just released their newest album this past week entitled Tornado. The fun lead off single “Pontoon” has been a huge summer hit and marks the group’s first number one single. Surprising that this is the first number one hit for this very talented group that has been established for a few years. According to a recent article in Billboard, Little Big Town “have endured quite a roller-coaster ride since joining forces more than a decade ago. Says Schlapman: ‘We certainly had our frustrating moments. For whatever reason, some things worked out and some things did not, but they surely formed who we are today and got us to this point, so we have to be grateful.’” Continue Reading →
New & Noteworthy: Colby Dee
Tonight I had the opportunity to see a new country artist, Colby Dee, performing at Judge’s (1805 Church St.) in Nashville. I had never heard her music and didn’t know quite what to expect when I was invited out to see her perform by a friend.
Most of the songs she sang were original with a couple of covers thrown in since that’s what’s expected when playing out at some venues. Colby’s got a great stage presence–very comfortable and personable with a very strong voice. One of the covers she did was by Carrie Underwood “Good Girl”. It’s one of my favorites and if you are going to perform a Carrie Underwood song, you better be up to the task BECAUSE Continue Reading →
