Album Review: Jason Michael Carroll “Numbers”

Jason Michael CarrollI was immediately drawn into this new album by Jason Michael Carroll called “Numbers” released exclusively at Cracker Barrel stores upon hearing the 1st few bars of the 1st track on the album, “This Is For The Lonely“.  What a great voice he has! I would compare his vocals to Chris Young or even a little like Darius Rucker , who both have some of the best voices out there.  I would certainly include Jason Michael Carroll on my list of the best male vocalists in the country genre.

Album Review: The Dirt Drifters “This Is My Blood”

Rarely do I hear an album that I want to listen to each song and not skip over, at least, one or two of the songs.  I mean, that’s normal.  You’re just not going to love every song on an album.  There’s always a weak one.  Always.  No matter how much you like a certain artist’s music, there’s always a weak one that you don’t like as much as the rest of the songs on the album and you skip over it.  It’s only natural.

Summer NAMM Report: All Star Guitar Night and Top 100 Dealer Awards

Steve Rutledge

I had the opportunity in July to attend my first ever NAMM events.  It actually was a very different experience for me because I’m used to covering events like CMA Music Festival that are centered around artists, whereas NAMM is about musicians and instruments.  Nonetheless, it was a very interesting experience.  The majority of music that I heard was all instrumental since this event is focused on the musicians.

CMA Music Festival: Interview with Frankie Ballard

Yes, yes…I’m STILL trying to get caught up from everything I had from the CMA Music Festival! Just about there! I guess it’s good as long as I get the articles out before CMA Music Festival 2012, right?!? Anyway…

Do you want to know all about this awesome guitar-slinging singer who has been touring the country opening for such artists as: Taylor Swift, Uncle Kracker, and Bob Seger? The girls are going crazy for him, too, and it’s easy to see why! This Michigan-born artist is “a southern gentleman without the accent” (a friend once said that to me and certainly a great way to describe Frankie Ballard) and there’s so much more to like about him, too!
