Rosie and Me: Country Music Around the World

Rosie and Me, Taking a Closer Look at Artists from Around the World. For obvious reasons, we spend a lot of time keeping up with the country and folk artists here in the good ole U.S. of A. But there are a lot of them out there in the lands beyond our borders too. These musicians and performers are talented and gifted, and we’d like to take the time to give them a bit of a shout-out! To kick off what will hopefully be a weekly post, I have chosen a group that will be featured at next week’s SXSW (March 13th – 18th), Rosie and Me. They’re from Brazil and include, Rosanne Machado (vocals/acoustic guitars/banjo), Ivan Camargo (acoustic guitars), Thomas Kossar (electric guitars), Guilherme Miranda (bass guitars) and Tiago Barbosa (drums/perc). They’re music is not country (definitely not in a Carrie Underwood or Jason Aldean kind of way). Their brand of music is folk, and its even kind of a pop infused folk. It has an honest, soul-touching honesty to it, and you can’t deny that Machado knows how to play that banjo! So far they’ve released a 5-track EP, Bird and Whale and full 10-track album, Arrow of My Ways. You can hear the first track of the album in the video below, and let us know what ya think.

Lady Antebellum Dancin’ Away With My Heart Video

Lady Antebellum New Video for Single Dancin’ Away With My Heart. Lady Antebellum‘s have released a video for their nostalgic single “Dancin’ Away With My Heart“. For the most part, this video is really simple. It mostly just utilizes footage of the trio performing the song at concerts with a little backstage footage mixed in. I think fans will definitely get a kick out of the video’s open though. Each of the Lady A’s members shares a memory of their first dance and which song they were dancin’ to! Its fun to get this little bit of insight into the band and where they get the inspiration for their music! Check out the video below! When was your first dance? What song did you dance to?

Bill Gentry This Letter Video

Bill Gentry’s Sexy Song Has a Racy Video to Match! I don’t know how this song flew under my musical radar, but I’m sure glad someone finally brought Bill Gentry‘s This Letter to my attention. I love a song with a good story and a good twist, and this one’s got both! The chorus is just a little bit sexy, and the video heats things up right along side it! If you like your country on the hotter end of the spectrum, I think you’ll like this one! At the same time though, there really is a sweet message at the center of this song! I don’t want to ruin it for you by giving away the details, so watch the video below and see what you think! Bill Gentry’s, This Letter [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fskIBIRjvo]

Garth Brooks The Dance, JT Hodges Cover

Garth Brooks’ The Dance Gets A Little Love From JT Hodges. JT Hodges has taken on the Garth Brooks classic, “The Dance“. He did this special recording just for Valentine’s Day as a kind of Valentine to all his fans. I know, we’re getting this up a day late, but it’s better late than never, right? Besides this song is a classic, and its worth taking a listen any ole day! Additionally, Hodges has released another single, “Goodbyes Made You Mine“, and it’s currently available on iTunes. This track has that kind of rock undertone that you can find in his other songs, but it still maintains an almost sweet sentiment. One of the things I really like about JT is the genuine quality in his voice, that gives an original feel to his music that you don’t get from a lot of singers. So, watch the video below, and then go check out his new single! As always, tell us what ya think! JT Hodges rendition of “The Dance“.

Sugarland Run Video

Check Out The Video for Sugarland’s “Run”. I don’t know if you had a chance to catch the live performance of Sugarland‘s “Run” featuring Matt Nathanson at last year’s CMA Awards…but if you didn’t, you missed out. It was one of the best performances of the night. Well, it was one of my favorites at least! There is just something about the lyrics in this song and the way Jennifer Nettles and Nathanson perform this duet together that is absolutely irresistible! In case you did miss the CMA performance, or you haven’t had the opportunity to catch Sugarland live, they have released the video for “Run” for fans to enjoy! It features live concert footage which I think helps emphasize the rawness of the song. Watch it below, and let us know what you think! Sugarland’s “Run” featuring Matt Nathanson.

Kelly Clarkson is the one doing the covering this time around, and she’s singing a Pistol Annies tune you might have heard of…”Hell On Heels“. This vocal powerhouse does a solid job in her rendition, and I’m just gonna go ahead and say that Miranda and the other Annies ladies would be proud of this version! Watch the video below, and let us know if you think Clarkson does it justice! We found this gem floating around on the Internet, check it out! [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrBdzashXXA]

The Voice Superbowl Commerical

Blake Shelton and The Voice Mentors Get Funny for Superbowl Ad. It’s no secret that over the past few years, the Superbowl and its media extravaganza has become just as much about the ads that air during its prime airtime as it is about the actual game. NBC’s The Voice producers clearly weren’t about to miss out on this year’s golden opportunity to steal a little more limelight for the upcoming season of their hit series! Blake Shelton (clearly, our favorite mentor!), Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera are back and kicking the season off right with a funny and action packed trailer for the season (with a special guest…). Check it out below, and make sure you catch up on last night’s season premiere if you haven’t already! 2012 The Voice Superbowl Ad [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OjVPRGD8ow]
