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 →

Song Review: “Any Day Is A Good Day” By Amber Hayes

By on May 19, 2013 in Album & Song Reviews

Amber Hayes“Any Day Is A Good Day” sung by Amber Hayes and written by Amber Hayes, Bill DiLuigi and JP Williams is a soft, traditional country ballad.  Hayes’ strong, controlled vocals combined with the thoughtful lyrics and the scaled-back production create a very pleasing song to the listener.  I especially enjoyed the infusion of the steel guitar throughout the song–sadly you don’t hear it quite enough for my taste in many country songs any more.  Continue Reading →

Album Review: Trace Adkins’ ‘Love Will…’

By on April 30, 2013 in Album & Song Reviews

Trace AdkinsFans of that smooth, deep baritone voice that can only belong to Trace Adkins won’t be disappointed in the newest release to hit stores entitled ‘Love Will…’.

This 11-track album has an overall theme that shows a little softer side of the country hitmaker, and still leans towards a more traditional country sound that you’ve come to expect from Trace.

My favorite off the album is the poignant ballad featuring Colbie Caillat called “Watch The World End”; a song about two lovers lamenting over what they would do if the world was coming to an end.  I, also, thoroughly enjoyed “Come See Me”; another ballad that will have all the ladies swooning as Trace sings “just let me be your everything.  Come see me.  I want to love you.” Continue Reading →

By on April 26, 2013 in In The Press

Country Music Hall of Famer, Grand Ole Opry member, and Kennedy Center Honoree George Glenn Jones died Friday, April 26, 2013 at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee. He was hospitalized April 18 with fever and irregular blood pressure.

Born September 12, 1931, Jones is regarded among the most important and influential singers in American popular music history. He was the singer of enduring country music hits including “She Thinks I Still Care,” “The Grand Tour,” “Walk Through This World With Me,” “Tender Years” and “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” the latter of which is often at the top of industry lists of the greatest country music singles of all time.

“A singer who can soar from a deep growl to dizzying heights, he is the undisputed successor of earlier natural geniuses such as Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell,” wrote Bob Allen in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s “Encyclopedia of Country Music.”
