Song Review: Maggie Rose | “Girl In Your Truck Song”

By on July 27, 2014 in Album & Song Reviews

Maggie-Rose-Girl-in-Your-Truck-SongMaggie Rose delivers a clever and catchy tune with her new song “Girl In Your Truck Song”.

She makes clever use of popular lyrics from many “bro-country” songs like “get your shine on”, “cruise”, “hop on in and slide over”, and many more threaded throughout the song.  You will find yourself listening over and over just to see how many “bro-country” song lyrics you can pick out! Aside from that fun aspect, you will want to listen again simply because it’s a catchy mid-tempo tune sung by a very talented vocalist.  Continue Reading →

Album Review: Miranda Lambert | ‘Platinum’

By on May 28, 2014 in Album & Song Reviews

Miranda Lambert
With this brand new 16-track album entitled ‘Platinum’, Miranda Lambert’s 5th album seems both contemplative and playful rather than singing the revenge anthems like “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” and “Kerosene” that she’s been known for.  This is a Miranda who is having fun with a little self-effacing humor about aging (“Gravity’s a Bitch”), talks about life from the female perspective (“Girls”), the demands of beauty (“Bathroom Sink”), some really traditional and throwback country that I could imagine being played in the honky tonks on Broadway in the 60s (“All That’s Left” featuring the Time Jumpers), rip-roaring, rocking songs (“Somethin’ Bad” with Carrie Underwood), and tender ballads (“Holding On To You”). Overall, Miranda seems to be in a very contemplative place in her life for this album and wanting to share a less serious side of herself taking chances throughout the entire album.

By on March 23, 2014 in Album & Song Reviews

sarah-davidsonWhile most people will recognize Sarah Davidson from TNT’s ‘Private Lives Of Nashville Wives’ and/or as being the ex-wife of hit songwriter Dallas Davidson, she is also a very talented singer/songwriter in her own right.

With the release of her 5 track self-titled country EP on on March 25th, Sarah gives a glimpse into who she is as an artist.  Who she IS an as artist is someone who is authentic, empowering, and talented.  Now, I could go on and write more about her here, but you will just have to wait for the full interview that I will be posting in the next couple of days when I had a chance to sit down with her to discuss music and learn more about who she is.  Check back for that! Right now, I will just discuss this new EP. Continue Reading →
