Neil Young and Crazy Horse Announce New Album Release. Neil Young and Crazy Horse have a new album coming out for the first time in very nearly nine years! This album is appropriately titled, Americana and is scheduled for a June 5th release date. There are eleven featured tracks, and the concept of album tackles an attempt to retrace songs we think of as “American” classics (including a personal favorite, “Oh Susannah“…its my middle name…). The press release describes the album in the following way: “Each of these compositions is very much part of the fabric of our American heritage, the roots of what we think of as ‘Americana’ in cultural terms, using songs as a way of passing along information and documenting our past.” I for one am definitely intrigued about this project, what about you? You can check out the track listing below! Americana, Complete Track Listing: 01. Oh Susannah 02. Clementine 03. Tom Dooley 04. Gallows Pole 05. Get A Job 06. Travel On 07. High Flyin’ Bird 08.

Josh Turner Time Is Love Video

Posted on by

The Music Video For Josh Turner’s Latest Single, “Time Is Love,” Is Here! When I first think of Josh Turner two things come to mind… 1. His Voice! He has one of those unmistakable voices that make people say “WOW!” I (along with a good majority of the world) love it! 2. His Attitude! It seems like he is always smiling and laughing. He is a family man who really enjoys what he does. We don’t hear about him in the gossip mags because that just isn’t his style! With that being said…I’m really digging this song! I think it is a perfect reflection of who he is! “Time Is Love“ gets two thumbs up from me! If you haven’t heard it then here you go…

Jessica Rae “24 Hour Church (In Memphis)” Video

Posted on by

Newcomer, Jessica Rae Releases Video for “24 Hour Church (In Memphis)”. Jessica Rae‘s single, “24 Hour Church (In Memphis)” speaks to finding hope and help even after hitting rock bottom. This song has kind of a 90’s country feel to it, and its a pretty uplifting song, definitely worth a listen! Rae is a Chicago native and full of talent from singing and songwriting to being an accomplished musician (including violin but you’ll see her playin’ guitar in the video!). She’s not exactly new to the scene with two EP releases in 2008 (2008 Sessions) and 2009 (Ruby Red), but this tune comes from her first full self-titled album which released last year. I for one would like to hear more from Jessica! Watch the video below and see if you agree! Watch Jessic Rae, “24 Hour Church (In Memphis)”. [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=uQUpQq3Ghy0]
