After a slow trickle of new country releases over the first 10 weeks of the year, 2009's release cycle has kicked into full-gear with the March 24, 2009 release of New albums from Martina McBride, John Rich and Eric Church. Do these albums live up to their advance billing?
With a style that combines the 'grit' of the Outlaw era with modern lyrics, Eric Church has managed to score with audiences without much radio success. Will this album change his fortunes or is it more of the same?
While she's never had much of a 'stalled' career, The choice of switching producers for the first time in a 10 album career seemed to indicate that Martina felt that way. So with Dann Huff co-producing, does "Shine" rival Martina's greatest?
With a finely crafted personality from his days in Big & Rich, there probably are expectations that this album will be like his past duo stuff. Those expectations should be placed in the back seat for what is presented here is far different.
With 36 tracks over the course of two discs, Randy Travis' "I Told You So: The Ultimate Hits of Randy Travis" has more than any fan could ask for in a two-disc compilation of his hits. But does the album have all of Randy's hits?
Wille Nelson has been recording music for nearly 50 years and in that time he's had his music packaged and re-packaged numerous times but never has it sounded better than it does here. What makes this so good?
