Sarah Darling New Release

Sarah Darling’s Latest Single, “Home To Me.” Sarah Darling’s current single, “Home To Me,” will be released for purchase on iTunes August 21, next Tuesday. I have to say that I really enjoy this song. It has a very easy-listening vibe to it. It was written by Caitlyn Smith and Bobby Hamrick and is about comparing a love to “the beauty of America’s landscape.” “Got a heart like Indiana Laugh like Louisiana Take me down to Alabama Show me some of the laid back vibe Kissin’ while we’re fishin’ in the moonlight” Be sure to be listening for “Home To Me” on country radio and pick up the single next week!

Phillip Phillips Home Video

The Official Music Video For Phillip Phillips’ “Home.” Here is the official music video for “Home.” Phillip Phillips was the season 11 winner of American Idol and although he isn’t what we would call country, we think there is a place for him on our site. Phillips, who I would call more of a folk singer, showcases his voice and guitar skills in this first release. The video for “Home” is below. So take a look and tell us what you think!

Craig Morgan Releases More Trucks Than Cars

Craig Morgan Is Set To Release A Brand New Single, “More Truck Than Cars.” Craig Morgan will release his latest single, “More Trucks Than Cars,” from his recent album This Ole Boy in upcoming days. Written by Morgan with Phil O’Donnell and Craig Wiseman, the song is an anthem for the southern lifestyle, depicted in stars that light the night sky, biscuits, grits and gravy, ‘Ole Glory’ flying high and a landscape where you’ll sooner spot a truck before you see a car. And Morgan can wholeheartedly relate to his lyric “meanwhile back in Tennessee we’re raising our babies and our own green beans.” Craig Morgan’s “More Trucks Than Cars” is available today via PlayMPE for airplay on country radio with an August 27 impact date. The song is equally relatable to metropolitan areas of the U.S. where there is no shortage of hard-working Americans and a touch of the southern lifestyle is a hot commodity. While in New York earlier this year, Morgan was surprised at the number of trucks he spotted amongst the sea of yellow cabs in Manhattan.

Taylor Swift New Album Red Details

Get Details On Taylor Swift’s New Album Red Via Live Chat! Tonight Taylor Swift hosted a LIVE google chat to make some very important announcements! We had our guesses on what she had up her sleeve, and we’re happy to say that…we are NOT disappointed! Taylor answered questions from fans who had gathered in person from around the world to be a part of the chat broadcast in Nashville, and responded to fans from Brazil to Sweden via google chat! She had a lot of info to share and you can catch the recap below! Basically, Swift let everyone know that she will be releasing a brand new album on October 22nd (two whole years in the making) titled Red that will include 16 tracks! Right off the bat she had a lot to say about the inspiration for the album saying: “my world kind of becomes a big storyboard…and everyone in it has the potential to become characters…” -Taylor Swift She also let us know that the meaning behind the title “red” comes from the strong emotions she has (or had) regarding what she referred to as “semi-toxic relationships” she’s experienced. But her relationships aren’t the only ones ending up as lyrics, Swift suggests she pulled from the experiences she watched her friends go through too. Additionally, Taylor addressed the collaborative effort behind the album, discussing how many of the songs are co-written. Letting fans know that she got to work with some of her favorite people in the industry, Swift filled us in on how she wanted to move in a different direction from her last album, Speak Now. Spoiler: one of the people she collaborated with is Ed Sheeran, and the song they worked on was recorded as a duet! (I wonder if there are any OTHER duets…hmmmm….) From other answers to fan questions we learned that Taylor will be globe trotting pretty soon hitting up lots of different place, specifically including NYC during the release week of her album. We also got an inside track on what its like to be in the spotlight and deal with “false rumors”. Ooooooh weeee, that’s a lot of info! On top of all that, to conclude the chat, Taylor debuted (LIVE) her brand new single, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together“. Admittedly, this is not a country song, but much more pop…even for Tswift. Yet, I still have faith there will be at least a few country hits out of the 16 total songs on the upcoming album! We are super excited about the new album, and can’t wait to hear what else Taylor has in store for fans! Check out these shots from the Live Chat!

Bellamy Brothers New Gospel Album

The Bellamy Brothers Are Ready To Release, Pray For Me, Their Latest Gospel Album After sparking much controversy and support with their first Gospel album, respected multi-platinum selling Country music duo and Dove Award nominees The Bellamy Brothers will soon release their second Gospel composition. Pray For Me, set for a late summer release, features 14 original Gospel songs with heartfelt, inspirational messages and is one of more than 50 albums released by Howard and David Bellamy. The album will be released on September 4 and is available for pre-order today on iTunes. The group’s first Gospel album, Jesus Is Coming (And Boy Is He Pissed), sparked much controversy with the title track but was later nominated for two Dove Awards from the Gospel Music Association and received rave reviews from critics. The success of this album, along with their history of singing Christian music from an early age, pushed the duo to create their second Gospel album. “We decided to record our second Gospel album because Gospel and Christian music is one of our favorite genres. We also received such a great reaction from our Jesus Is Coming album we did a few years ago, it seemed like a natural progression from that album to the new one.” -David Bellamy “Creating this new album was a labor of love for us, and an element we hope we can always add to our variety of projects,” -Howard Bellamy. The duo is more widely known for their success in Country music, although they’ve gained respect in the Gospel and Pop genres as well. The Bellamy Brothers have received numerous No. 1 hits on both the Pop and Country charts. Their hit “Let Your Love Flow” received the distinguished BMI Five Million Performance Award in 2009, and broke into the UK Top 20 Country charts again—34 years after its release. The hit was also featured in a UK television commercial and on the critically acclaimed AMC television series “Breaking Bad.” Pray For Me Track Listing: 1. Jesus Ain’t No Stained Glass Window 2. Pray For Me 3. Holy Roller 4. Spirit In The Sky 5. Suppertime 6. God Ain’t Finished With Me Yet 7. Hypocrites In Heaven 8. Hymn To Him 9. The Spanish Bible 10. Number Of Breaths 11. New Man In The Suit 12. Rodeo For Jesus 13. Guardian Angel 14. Hand Me My Bible
