Well, it’s about time that Clint Black released a new album – his first one in eight years. I don’t know what he was doing to kill all that time between projects, but he sure spent it wisely! “On Purpose” is the best album I have heard in a long time – the first one that I’ve just left ‘my finger on the button so that I could hit repeat’ again and again.

Well folks, the wait is over! Three and a half years after releasing Blown Away, Carrie Underwood is back with a new record. Undoubtedly the most talked about record this year, Storyteller is out today! Carrie has had a huge year, and it’s not even over yet. The country superstar embarked on what has unarguably become her biggest career year yet with the release of her Greatest Hits: Decade #1 late last year (2014). The record acted as a celebration of Carrie’s 10 year Anniversary in the music industry, and also a way to keep Carrie on radio and fresh in the fans’ minds while taking some time off to have baby Isaiah. The Greatest Hits record produced two new singles, “Something In The Water” and “Little Toy Gun”, both going on to become smash hits. Both singles were, in my opinion, an excellent way to introduce the new era in Carrie’s career, both featuring big production and incredible vocal performances. Those features are prevalent on Carrie’s first record of the new era, Storyteller.

The long, hot days of summer are upon us.

When I first heard that I was going to get to review Jason Michael Carroll’s new CD “What Color Is Your Sky” and interview him, I was pretty excited. I wouldn’t say I was a huge fan, but I’d always really liked his singles “Alyssa Lies,” “I Can Sleep When I’m Dead,” and “Livin’ Our Love Song.” I also remember seeing him open for Brad Paisley a few years ago and thought he was pretty good.
