I had the pleasure of meeting 20-year-old Hunter Hayes and discussing his music back in June of this year. What struck me the most about Hunter is how humble and grounded he is. I foresee and hope for nothing but great things ahead for him. Hunter is a true musical prodigy on the verge of stardom! He was already a skilled musician at the age of only 4 when he made his appearance on stage with Hank Williams Jr. in front of a large audience playing an accordion and singing “Jambalaya“. So, I guess it’s no real surprise that Hunter produced and played every instrument on his debut album. Just extremely impressive! How many people can say all of that? Makes everybody else look like they need to go find a href=’http://www.weldingtraining.org’>day job in welding training.

Album Review: Hunter Hayes Releasing Debut Self-Titled Album October 11th
Song Review: Burns & Poe “I Need A Job”
“I Need A Job” is the new single from Burns & Poe written by Keith Burns and John Ritter. This is a fun, straight-forward, tongue-in-cheek, uptempo song perfect for a little line-dancing if you feel so inclined. It makes you want to get up and dance when you hear it. There’s no real deep meaning behind the lyrics with the exception of being completely relatable by a lot of people in the country who are out of a job and looking for work. It’s not meant to be a downer-type, serious song, just simply a fun one meant to take your worries away and be danced to. I think traditional country lovers and fans of Trick Pony would equally love this song.
Album Review: Jason Michael Carroll “Numbers”
I 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.
