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.

Ever since RaeLynn sang for Blake Shelton‘s team on season 2 of ‘The Voice,’ Miranda Lambert and her hubbie have taken the break-out country star under their wing.

Their first duet is called ‘Lie,’ and last night, RaeLynn tweeted a video of herself and Lambert singing the tune.

Carrie Underwood, ‘Blown Away’ – Song Review
‘Blown Away’ is the signature song on Carrie Underwood‘s new album of the same name. It’s the dangerous storm cloud that looms over the other tracks on a surprisingly dark project. Is this really the same woman who cut ‘All-American Girl?’ This is what critics are talking about when they hammer the importance of subtly reinventing one’s self with each new album. The singer has built to this point over three previous albums.

Miranda Lambert, ‘Fastest Girl in Town’ – Song Review
Every once in awhile, an artist like Miranda Lambert needs to remind the country music community what crazy looks like. All this talk of marriage, babies and puppy dogs could have left some (unwisely) wondering if Nashville’s most explosive firecracker had settled into life as a domestic diva. ‘Fastest Girl in Town’ is Lambert breathing fire again.

Favorite Wynonna Song – Readers Poll
Happy birthday to Wynonna! The country singer and one-half of the legendary duo the Judds celebrates her 48th year of life today (May 30). Since 1983, Wynonna has been one of the most successful and influential female vocalists in country music. She may be best known for her work with Naomi Judd, but beginning in 1992, the younger Judd scored a number of memorable solo hits. Which Wynonna song is your favorite?
