Kelly Clarkson Embraces Her Inner-Country and Moves to Nashville! In an exclusive interview with The Tennesseean, pop star and American Idol alumn, Kelly Clarkson shared the low-down on her recent move to Nashville, TN, and its got us hoping that Clarkson will be releasing some country music soon! Now, we’ve all been thinking and drawing all kinds of conclusions as of late, and we country music fans kind of want Clarkson to just transition right on over to country music…for real. She has her amazing duet with Jason Aldean under her belt, she just earned a CMA nomination, and she’s practically a member of country music royalty (currently dating Reba McEntire’s stepson, Brandon Blackstock). So, clearly all roads point to a country music career, right? Kelly herself admits that life seems to be taking her that way, telling The Tennessean the following, “…I think it’s just because, I don’t know, I do love pop music, but I think I have more of a Southern mentality. Even just emotionally, I’m more that girl. So I get along better with the Mirandas and the Blakes and the Jennifers and Rebas.” -Kelly Clarkson We’re with ya Kelly, come on over!

Easton Corbin All Over The Road Album Review

Posted on by

Easton Corbin Gives Fans What They Have Been Waiting For In All Over The Road. Easton Corbin’s sophomore album, All Over The Road, is, in my opinion, right on the money! It has fun songs about the highs of love and slower-paced songs that show the the lows. The title track is the first one on the album and it gets you happy from the beginning. I can’t help but giggle when I listen to it, picturing the scene Corbin is describing is too cute! “Lovin’ You Is Fun” was the first single from this album and it was a great pick! I am OBSESSED with the first line… “You gotta cousin who’s tellin’ you somethin’ that doesnt’ have nothin’ to do with the love that we’re in, baby” This song definitely makes my heart smile. From the instrumentals to the don’t-care-what-others-think-attitude, it is all around a great tune! “Hearts Drawn In The Sand” is Corbin’s second single. This one, as well as every other track on this album, really gives a clear, crisp listen to Corbin’s sweet, country, signature sound. “Dance Real Slow” gives us that George Strait feel that so many compare Corbin too. I think that it is a great comparison. I believe what makes people think of Strait when hearing Corbin is the songs they sing seem to have the same vibe, nothing about “drinking down a back road.” There’s just a sweet confidence they both exude! “Tulsa Texas” is genius! I have nothing to say about it other than listen to it pronto! I know this album doesn’t drop until next week, but I’m telling you…buy it immediately and play track 10! Then go back and listen to the whole thing! If I had to be the one to pick Corbin’s third single from this record it would be “Are You With Me.” It has a kind of dark feeling, but always ends with just wanting to love someone and having them accept your love. “I want a love so hard it could rip my heart out, get so lost that I’ll never be found, are you with me?“ “That’s Gonna Leave A Memory,” “A Thing For You,” “This Feels A Lot Like Love,” “Only A Girl” and “I Think Of You” all help to mold this album into the perfect little country package! Add a good-looking dance partner and you’ll be set! Remember, All Over The Road hits store shelves and digital outlets alike on Tuesday, September 18! All Over The Road Track Listing: 1. All Over The Road 2. Lovin’ You Is Fun 3. That’s Gonna Leave A Memory 4. Hearts Drawn In The Sand 5. Dance Real Slow 6. A Thing For You 7. Are You With Me 8. This Feels A Lot Like Love 9. Only A Girl 10. Tulsa Texas 11. I Think Of You

Alan Jackson Thirty Miles West Review

Posted on by

Alan Jackson Does It Again With Thirty Miles West. Alan Jackson released Thirty Miles West this summer with “Long Way To Go” as the first single and “So You Don’t Have To Love Me Anymore” as his second. “You Go Your Way” is his current single and it has that classic Jackson feel. Nothing in your face or over-the-top, just the way we like! One of my favorite tracks from this album is “Her Life’s A Song.” I, along with every other girl out there, can relate to it so much. It really isn’t that hard to relate to actually, but you all know when you hear a song for the first time and it reminds you of yourself, you get extremely happy! This song will do that! “Dixie Highway” was recorded with Zac Brown, it has a quick count and is full of Georgia pride! This is not the boys first collaboration, Jackson was featured on ZBB’s album You Get What You Give with “As She’s Walking Away.” “Dixie Highway” is nominated for a 2012 CMA Award in the Musical Event of the Year category. “When I Saw You Leaving” is one of those songs I could listen to over and over. It just sounds so pretty! This record is full of beautiful fiddle and steel sounds, so obviously I’m in love! Thirty Miles West has a great balance and flow throughout, and I wouldn’t expect anything less from Jackson! If you haven’t already, I really encourage you to pick this album up to add to your collection! Thirty Miles West Track Listing: 1. Gonna Come Back As A Country Song 2. You Go Your Way 3. Everything But The Wings 4. Talk Is Cheap 5. So You Don’t Have To Love Me Anymore 6. Look Her In The Eye And Lie 7. Dixie Highway (feat. Zac Brown) 8. She Don’t Get High 9. Her Life’s A Song 10. Nothin’ Fancy 11. Long Way To Go 12. Life Keeps Bringing Me Down 13. When I Saw You Leaving (For Nisey)

The country music singer recently shared that he is a supporter of the non-profit organization Locks of Love, and that he originally grew his hair out so that he could donate to the cause.

My Nana died of cancer, my Pawpaw passed away May 11th of last year of cancer. My Mom is a two-time cancer survivor, breast and thyroid. That’s just some of it; there are a lot of instances in my family,”- Casey James James is scheduled to appear of the syndicated television show Better on Tuesday, September 18th.
