Sweetwater Rain - “Pray For Me” (Curb):
Emotionally stirring, harmonies are sublime, and lyrics are haunting. It’s heavy, but it’s real.
Ann Marie - “Cowboy Up” (Independent):
Plenty of attitude. Plenty of swagger and personality. She sounds like she is having fun!
Erin Enderlin - “I Let Her Talk” (Independent):
The gem of the week. A song that will restore your faith that Traditional Country still exists. A classic story song that will make your jaws drop!

Chris Janson - “Cut Me Some Slack” (Bigger Picture):
Really cool groove, and Chris’s enthusiasm is infectious throughout the track.

Dierks Bentley - “I Hold On” (Capitol Nashville):
One of the deepest singles of his career. I have a feeling that his upcoming Riser album is going to surprise a lot of people with its’ depth.

Green River Ordinance - “Flying” (GRO):
Harmony drive, the track is a sonic delight, and instrumentally, they’re on as well!
Hunter Hayes/Jason Mraz - “Everybody’s Got Somebody But Me (Atlantic):
Bouncy and fun, this collaboration is money in the bank!

Kellie Pickler - Little Bit Gypsy (Black River):
Pickler strikes a flirtatious tone on her new single, which – thanks in part to the breezy chorus, soars into the stratosphere.
Tracy Lawrence - “Footprints On The Moon” (LMG/Tenacity):
A little bit of an updated sound for Lawrence, who breezes through the arrangement with ease. Hopefully, radio will take notice!

Rascal Flatts Feat. Alabama - “Old Flame” (Show Dog-Universal)
For their contribution to the Alabama & Friends project, Rascal Flatts slows the tempo down just a touch, and scores one of the album’s highlights. Gary LeVox’s vocal is particularly touching. *note: not an official single, just a highlight track from the upcoming album.
