Lauren Alaina Debut Album Release

Posted on by

New Details On Lauren Alaina’s Upcoming Album Release! We’ve had our eye on Lauren Alaina since her runner-up win on Season 10 of American Idol this Spring, and she has been accomplishing quite a bit! From her performances at the Grand Ole Opry and CMA Fest in Nashville in June to touring with American Idol Live to appearances on the CMT Music Awards and CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock, America clearly can not get enough of this girl! Believe it or not among all this activity, Lauren has released a debut music video, and has given a little more detail on her upcoming album! The album is titled Wildflower and will be released Tuesday, October 11th. Lauren looked for songs that would provide a spectrum of pace from slow to fast for her debut album in hopes that it would have a little something for everyone! “I feel like it has a flavor for everybody. It’s a mixture of all different songs, so I hope it will appeal to all different kinds of people. There are fast songs for people who like up-tempos that you can dance to, and there are also tearjerkers for people who like slower ballads. I tried to get songs that are all a little different so that we could bring a fresh feel to each and every song.” -Lauren Alaina One thing that can be said for Lauren is that despite the onslaught of publicity, attention, and a whole horde of fans, she is still staying rather level headed and remains gracious to those who helped put her in her current position. She sites her fans and thanks them for all they’ve done to help make her dreams come true. “I have always dreamed of making an album and I can’t believe it’s actually happening. It’s because of the fans who voted for me on American Idol that I am here, so I am dedicating this album to them. I hope they love it!” -Lauren Alaina We look forward to checking out Wildflower in October! Lauren and fellow Season 10 American Idol alum and winnerScotty McCreery stopped by Good Morning America Friday to share details on their upcoming albums. Check out the clip from the segment here.

Scotty McCreery Debut Album Release

New Details on Scotty McCreery’s Debut Album Release! Ever since Scotty McCreery won the 10th season of American Idol, there have been rumors, hints and not a whole lot of details floating around about the new singer’s debut album. Well, finally, new details have been released about the upcoming album! The album is titled Clear As Day and is slated for a Tuesday, October 4th release date. While Scotty is not quite to the song-writing stage in his career, he chose a collection of songs, including his already popular single “I Love You This Big“, which he feels represents the style of country music he loves and relates to. “We’ve got songs on it from some of the best songwriters in country music. I’m so fortunate to have so many talented people contributing to my first album…It has some old country influences and elements, but it also has a contemporary feel with fun up-tempo songs…It’s a good mixture. You can hear some of the influences that I grew up with, like Hank Williams, Conway Twitty and Merle Haggard…I chose these songs because they mean a lot to me.” -Scotty McCreery I have definitely been openly skeptical of Scotty and his skill level since before his American Idol win. However, I must say I am impressed with how he has handled himself publicly in the onslaught of publicity, attention and chaos of the past few months. I am truly curious about this new album, and hope it delivers to fans what they’re looking for. Scotty and fellow American Idol alumn and Season 10 runner-up, Lauren Alaina discussed their new album details on Friday’s Good Morning America. Check out the video for the segment below.

The Band Perry All Your Life Video

Posted on by

The Band Perry Releases Video for All Your Life. The Band Perry, brothers Neil and Reid and sister Kimberly, have released their video for “All Your Life” off of their gold-certified album, The Band Perry. The song is a little less haunting than “If I Die Young“, but still maintains that TBP edge which seems to harness a vibe with one foot in our modern world and the other in a world of the past. The video features a storyline of vaudeville-esque characters which adds a whimsical element to an otherwise serious tone. The release of the video comes on the heels of The Band Perry’s announcement of their first tour, Purveyors of Performance which kicked off August 15th! Check out the video here!

Rodney Atkins’ New Album

Posted on by

Rodney Atkins’ Fourth Studio Album Hits The Market October 4th. Rodney Atkins’ newest album, Take A Back Road, will hit stores Tuesday, October 4th. The Curb Records’ platinum selling artist has been going strong all summer, touring non-stop since the beginning of June. The second single/title track of the album, “Take A Back Road“, is the fastest rising single of his career. “I have put a lot of time into the recording of this album and am excited to say I think it is progressive and representative of who and where I am today. We are thrilled with the reaction of ‘Take A Back Road’.” -Atkins With this being his 4th studio album and having numerous hits under his belt (“Watching You“, “Cleaning This Gun“, “Farmer’s Daughter“, “These Are My People“, “If You’re Going Through Hell“, “It’s America“), I find myself wondering why he gets so little recognition. Rodney Atkins hosted and organized “Music City Gives Back” this June, is currently working with Pillsbury’s Biscuitfest, will soon be touring in the fall, and no doubt will make an appearance at the annual CMA Awards. Atkins is also getting ready for the shooting of GAC‘s original series “Origin” and will be shooting in several locations for the video of “Take A Back Road“. Sounds like a busy man! Make sure to snatch up Take A Back Road as soon as it hits the shelves, I’m sure Atkins will give us a few more hits this go around! The track listing is below and I have to say numbers 6,8, and 10 have got me curious… Track Listing 1. Take A Back Road 2. He’s Mine 3. Family 4. The Corner 5. She’s A Girl 6. She’d Rather Fight 7. Feet 8. Cabin In The Woods 9. Just Wanna Rock N’ Roll 10. Growing Up Like That 11. Tips 12. Lifetime 13. Farmer’s Daughter

Scotty McCreery I Love You This Big Video

Posted on by

Scotty McCreery Premiers Debut Music Video August 9th. Season 10 American Idol winner, Scotty McCreery is set to release the debut video for his first single, “I Love You This Big“. Like fellow American Idol alum Lauren Alaina, Scotty will be featured on CMT Premieres: Scotty McCreery I Love You This Big. Unlike, Lauren though, Scotty will be premiering his video during this segment, Tuesday, August 9th, the day after Alaina’s release date. The video was shot in Los Angeles, but McCreery and the crew worked hard to find a spot that had the right kind of country vibe. Watch Scotty McCreery in “I Love You This Big” now! “The location for the shoot was really cool. If you looked one way, you could see Dodger Stadium, and if you looked another way, you could see downtown L.A. We found this park that had a little country feel to it … If I hadn’t told you that, you would think we would have shot that in North Carolina. The music video has a summertime barbecue feel.” -Scotty McCreery Scotty will be performing on ABC‘s Good Morning America on August 12th. Also, you can catch him on the special television concert event, CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock on Sunday, August 14th on ABC. Scotty will be singing with Josh Turner. McCreery is still working on his debut album, but a release date has yet to be announced.

Guy Clark Releases Another Masterpiece, “Songs and Stories”! Guy Clark is a living legend and at the age of 69 he is releasing yet another album. “Songs And Stories” was recorded at the Belcourt Theater in Nashville, Tennessee. It is something you don’t see very much, a “story” being a track on an album, but if anyone can pull it off Clark can. The setting was very laid back and intimate, and felt more like he was sitting around a kitchen table at 3 am with some friends. This live album is jam-packed with his previous hits and the kind of stories that you’ve always wanted to hear from a wise man like Clark. Songs And Stories will be released August 16 on Dualtone Music Group. Track Listing 1. Introduction 2. L.A. Freeway 3. Story: Sometimes They Come Easy 4. Maybe I Can Paint Over That 5. Story: Townes’ Road Keets 6. If I Needed You 7. The Cape 8. Homegrown Tomatoes 9. Shawn and Verlon 10. Story: The Legend Of Sis Draper 11. Sis Draper 12. Magnolia Wind 13.

Ronnie Dunn Cost Of Living Video

Posted on by

Ronnie Dunn Releases The Second Video Of His Solo Career! Ronnie Dunn has “done” it again! His second single “Cost Of Living” is getting tons of airtime and now has an incredible video to go with it. In it, we are introduced to a few people from a Tennessee town with a recently shut down tire plant. It’s a sad, but true story that a lot of Americans are and have been dealing with for a while. With the “Cost Of Living” constantly going up, many are struggling to keep their jobs and others are finding it even more difficult to find one in the first place. The lyrics of this song tell the reality of a man eagerly trying to get hired on a construction crew, I know many companies who would love to have teams full of reliable men like this. I love this song and strongly encourage those of you who haven’t heard it to take a little look! Tags: Cost of Livin’, Ronnie Dunn, Ronnie Dunn Videos
