LeAnn Rimes Working On New Album

Posted on by

LeAnn Rimes Starts Work On New Album of Original Songs! LeAnn Rimes is headed to the studio next month to start recording a new album of original music! All the song-writing is done, and now she just has to sit down and hammer out those vocals. Last year, Rimes released the impressive project of covers, Lady & Gentlemen, where she tackled some of country music’s most iconic hits from the male greats in the industry. We were super proud of her for taking on such a creative concept, and of course, she totally blew it out of the water! (Catch HaleighT’s review here.) Sure, a lot of what we’ve heard from LeAnn for awhile now has been gossip and “non-stories” mostly spread by paparazzi. However, no amount of bad press will ever change the fact that Rimes is still one of the most talented and gifted female artists the country music scene has had the pleasure of claiming. CMNB definitely can’t wait to see what she’ll offer up with this new album!

Josh Thompson Is Comin’ Around with a New Video! Josh Thompson has released the music video for his current single, “Comin’ Around“. The single was released at the very end of 2011, and it’s a slow-paced ode to livin’ and learnin’. There’s a lot wisdom in this song that I think a lot of country music fans will find relatable. If you haven’t heard it yet be sure to check out the video below! Josh Thompson’s “Comin’ Around“. Comin’ Around – Josh Thompson – Josh Thompson Videos

Adam Hood Hell of a Fight Video

Posted on by

Adam Hood Releases Video for Soulful Single, Hell of a Fight. Adam Hood has released the video for his current single, “Hell of a Fight“. This single comes off of Hood’s second studio album, The Shape of Things, which released in 2011, and it is the follow up single to his “Flame and Gasoline“. You might have caught Adam when he was on tour for select dates with Miranda Lambert, or maybe you heard him when was on the Country Throwdown Tour with Willie Nelson in 2011. Or maybe you haven’t heard of him just yet. But really, you should take a couple minutes to check out the video below. Hood has had a career that is part plain ole’ hard work, and part plain ole’ luck. The first album he ever released was self-financed, and he developed his talents in singing and songwriting while working in his native Alabama. He has put a whole lot of effort into the honing of his chosen craft, but he has had some lucky run-ins along with way with producers and other artists (ahem, Lambert caught his set at a club in Texas when she had to stop due to car troubles, and that’s how he got on her tour!). Regardless of how he landed in Nashville, he’s got the talent to stay! See for yourself below! Adam Hood’s Hell of a Fight. Hell of a Fight – Adam Hood – Adam Hood Videos

Rascal Flatts Changed Track Listing

Posted on by

Rascal Flatts Release Track Listing for Upcoming Album, Changed. By now, I’m sure you’ve heard Rascal Flatts new track, “Banjo” which hit country radio a couple weeks ago. Its a down-home, twangy ode to the rural roots so many country music fans relate to, and its a pretty catchy tune. This new track is featured off of the group’s upcoming album, Changed, which is due out April 3rd. After their foray into the pop music realm with collaborations with Justin Bieber and Natasha Bedingfield, it seemed the trio was fading into the distance. Yet, they were inducted into the Opry last year, and are currently up for an ACM for “Vocal Group of the Year“. So, maybe they’re not quite done yet. And if “Banjo” is any indication, Flatts is definitely making an effort to get back to the core of country music. You can check out the complete track listing for Changed below! Changed Complete Track Listing 1. Changed 2. Banjo 3. Hot In Here 4. Come Wake Me Up 5. She’s Leaving 6. Let It Hurt 7. Lovin’ Me 8. Hurry Baby 9. Sunrise 10. Great Big Love 11. A Little Home Bonus Tracks featured on Deluxe Version 1. Friday Can’t Come Fast Enough 2. Fall Here 3. Right One Time 4. Next To You, Next To Me

Kix Brooks Releases 1st Solo Music

Posted on by

Kix Brooks Prepares to Release His First Solo Single. Kix Brooks is hot on the trail of ex-fellow group mate, Ronnie Dunn, as he is set to release his first solo attempt since the two dissolved their duo. His new single is titled “New To This Town” and will hit country radio on March 19th! Now, Ronnie has really set the bar high for Brooks! He released his debut album, and it has been immensely successful. Success isn’t a hard thing to come by though, when you release such a quality piece of work! So, what do you think? Are the solo efforts of country music’s separated duo, enough to make up for the loss of Brooks & Dunn?

Canaan Smith We Got Us Music Video

Posted on by

Here Is The Video For Canaan Smith’s “We Got Us!” For those of you who haven’t heard of Canaan Smith, let us introduce you! “We Got Us” is his very first single and it was released to country radio back in January. At first glance, some to the core country fans might say this guy is not “country.” He doesn’t have on boots and he wears scarves, well I say take a listen to some of his stuff before you make your decision. This first single has some killer fiddle and the actual story that the lyrics tell is a country song if I’ve ever heard one. He was named one of the top 12 artists to watch in 2012 by Country Weekly so I’m interested to see what we will be seeing… Here is the video, take a look!
