Luke Bryan, ‘Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye’ – Song Review
The four singles released from Luke Bryan‘s ‘Tailgates and Tanlines’ album provide an accurate script for a story about the life of a bachelor. It’s a life that can be a little wild and crazy, but mostly it’s filled with heartache, confusion and regret. ‘Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye’ provides the regret.

Bucky Covington, ‘Drinking Side of Country’ (Feat. Shooter Jennings) – Song Review
Country outlaw Shooter Jennings and one-time ‘American Idol’ contestant Bucky Covington make an odd marriage, but on ‘Drinking Side of Country,’ their voices and styles compliment each other like bar stool buddies telling the same story. They may be too similar, in fact, as it’s difficult to tell who’s who during parts of the rowdy rolling cut from Covington’s upcoming album.
The Mavericks, ‘Born to Be Blue’ – Song Review

The Mavericks, ‘Born to Be Blue’ – Song Review
The Mavericks couldn’t have timed their reunion more perfectly. The ’90s hitmakers bring their familiar sound back to country radio with ‘Born to Be Blue,’ a track from their new ‘Suited Up and Ready’ EP. Too often, getting the old band back together produces tired rewrites of a classic sound. The Mavericks have managed to keep their signature style without alienating younger fans.
Zac Brown Band, ‘Uncaged’ – Album Review

Zac Brown Band, ‘Uncaged’ – Album Review
On paper, ‘Uncaged’ should not work as an album, let alone a country music album. The new release from Zac Brown Band redefines “something for everybody.” Country, reggae, bedroom R&B… Brown and his ever-growing motley crew stretch the Nashville sound further than any other artist. If they weren’t so talented, this project would fall apart long before the title-track.

Sara Evans, ‘Anywhere’ – Song Review
Sara Evans returns to the sound that landed her No. 1 hits like ‘A Real Fine Place to Start’ and ‘Born to Fly’ (2005 and 2000 respectively) with her new song ‘Anywhere.’ The radio-ready single was co-written by Evans’ brother, Matt, and is included on her latest album ‘Stronger.’

Kip Moore, ‘Beer Money’ – Song Review
With ‘Beer Money,’ the new single from Kip Moore‘s ‘Up All Night’ album, the singer takes aim at the heart of country America. Those who never quite figured out what to do with ‘Somethin’ ‘Bout a Truck’ will quickly find themselves head-bobbing and mumbling along with the catchy chorus of this radio-friendly track.

Lauren Alaina, ‘Eighteen Inches’ – Song Review
In Lauren Alaina‘s new single ‘Eighteen Inches,’ fans get to hear what’s special about this 17-year-old country singer, along with a few skills that are still underdeveloped. Like so many of the songs from her debut album ‘Wildflower,’ the single fits the ‘American Idol’ runner-up like a tailored prom dress.

Kenny Chesney, ‘Welcome to the Fishbowl’ – Album Review
The most striking scenes of Kenny Chesney‘s ‘Come Over’ video aren’t those of the bikini-clad beauty in the swimming pool or the panoramic shoreline. It’s the singer himself… without a hat on. As it turns out, those images are something of a metaphor for Chesney’s new ‘Welcome to the Fishbowl’ album.

America’s Got Talent: Episode 10 Review
We’re at the last leg of the audition tour, and boy has it been a ride so far. We’ve seen some amazing acts and, well, others we wish we could just forget. But we’re watching ‘America’s Got Talent,’ so we’re pretty much prepared to see anything happen on that stage.

Michael Dean Church, ‘That’s How We Roll’ – Song Review
Country newcomer Michael Dean Church shows talent with his new single ‘That’s How We Roll,’ a song that needs a more experienced hand to take it past average. Vocally the Rome, Ga. raised singer is sound, but his voice buries some of the most enjoyable parts of this country rocker.

Tim McGraw, ‘Right Back Atcha Babe’ – Song Review
Tim McGraw‘s final album on Curb records was far from his best, yet the singles keep coming months after the singer was granted his release. ‘Better Than I Used to Be’ was an impressive Top 10 record — it’s difficult to gather airplay with no support from the artist — but ‘Right Back Atcha Babe’ will be lucky to crack the Top 40.

What Did You Think of “Dallas”?
I rushed home after my show last night to catch the premier of "Dallas" .  I have to say I was kind of disappointed. First, how many explosive plots do you possibly need in a season premiere?  My heck, it seemed like my head was spinning trying to keep up with everything!  J...
