Billy Currington - "Hey Girl" (Mercury)

A groovin’ return to form. Will sound great on radio as the windows roll down this spring.

Read our review of "Hey Girl" here.

Drake White - "The Simple Life" (MCA Nashville)

Very different. Refreshing. And, there’s more where that came from. 

Love On Me (Carnival Records)

Love the laid back feel. Vocally, he’s from the Brantley Gilbert / Luke Bryan school, and that fits this arrangement like a glove.

Listen to "Love On Me" here

Tyler Dean Featuring Ashley Gearing - "I Wanna Wake Up With You" (Sidewalk)

A sensual love ballad for spring. I like it. A lot. Gearing especially shines. 

Michael Dean Church - "Still Not Over You" (Indepdendent)

Tender and sweet. Church gives a piercing vocal  style that works well.

Adam Fears There’s A Girl Out There (LandStar/Flying Island)

I like the production. I love the voice. It’s edgy without making you wonder why it’s considered Country.

Listen to "There's A Girl Out There"

Kaley Caperton - Red White & Beautiful (Independent)

Tender and earnest vocal. A great place to start.

John Karl - "That’s What I Believe" (PourBoy/Spin Doctors)

Melodic and aggressive chorus helps Karl hammer this out of ballpark. The man deserves attention!

Listen to "That's What I Believe" here

Lizzie Sider - "Butterfly" (Blue Steel)

Was skeptical. But, not anymore. She is the real deal. A star is born. What a range!

Mickie James - "Somebody’s Gonna Pay" (eOne)

Charismatic, Fun, and Frisky. And, no, I wouldn’t want to cross her!
