Neal McCoy New Album Release Date

Posted on by

Neal McCoy Sets Release Date For Upcoming Album! Last year, Neal McCoy totally faked us out. He released a YouTube video hinting at the release of new material. Now, the fake out was that Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert did the talking, and we all thought that THEY were releasing an album together. To our dismay Blake and Miranda were not talking about their own project, but to our delight they were talking about new music in the works from Neal McCoy! This album, titled XII, is scheduled to release on March 6th, 2012. It is co-produced by Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton (there’s the fake-out!), and guitarist Brent Rowan. His current single, “A-OK” released last year.

Taylor Swift Safe & Sound

Posted on by

Taylor Swift Teams with Civil Wars for Hunger Games Song “Safe & Sound”. Taylor Swift has teamed up with The Civil Wars to create a single titled “Safe & Sound” for the soundtrack for The Hunger Games. The film is based on the popular book trilogy and is set to release on March 23, 2012. The single hit the Top 10 upon its release on iTunes, and is clearly already being well-received by fans. You can check it out below. Interestingly, this song might be the most country song Swift has released. It has a melancholy quality that is appropriate for the themes of the film, and an Americana vibe no doubt brought in by The Civil Wars. It really is a beautiful song, and its great to see The Civil Wars on such a big project and to see Taylor reaching outside of her comfort zone. Listen and tell us what you think. Take a Listen to Taylor Swift and The Civil Wars “Safe & Sound“ [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFEDTtKaFzU]

Josh Turner New Single, Album Arriving 2012

Posted on by

Josh Turner Releases Time Is Love, New Single From Upcoming 2012 Album! Josh Turner released new music today, Tuesday, December 20th! His latest single titled, “Time Is Love“, is the debut song off his upcoming album release in 2012. The song was penned by Tom Shapiro, Tony Martin and Mark Nesler, and Turner’s selection of it proves his ability to pick out quality content that fans will find relatable. “This song grabbed me from the first listen because it has such an infectious melody and lyrically it really tells a message that I have been wanting to say for a long time…It’s not about quality time but quantity time and taking the time to get to know the person better and develop a relationship with that person.” -Josh Turner Turner has four previous #1 hits (“Your Man,” “Would You Go With Me,” “Why Don’t We Just Dance,” “All Over Me”), and there is a good chance this could be his fifth. It will hit country airwaves in January 2012, but it is already available through iTunes for fans to preview and purchase. Now, his new album doesn’t have a title yet (at least, he’s not telling anyone about it so far), but I took a listen to “Time Is Love” and its enough to get me ready to hear the rest of the album! If you’re a Josh Turner fan be sure to check out his new track, if you’re not, be sure to check out his new track.

Andy Gibson The Christmas Song

Posted on by

Check Out Newcomer Andy Gibson’s Rendition of The Christmas Song. New on the scene, Andy Gibson, is offering country music fans his very own rendition of the holiday classic, “The Christmas Song“. From Nat King Cole to the Manheim Steamrollers to Hootie & The Blowfish (What’s up, Darius Rucker?), everyone and their grandmother has done some version of this song. Strangely though, at least for me, this tune never gets old. Maybe it’s the nostalgia, maybe it’s just that great of a song, no matter who is singing it, I always enjoy hearing it. I have to say, Gibson’s version is not an exception. He has a great voice, and he does the song justice. You can check out the video below, and if you haven’t met Gibson yet click here to find out more. You can also check out Gibson’s own “Wanna Make You Love Me” below.
