Country stars Jason Aldean and Tim McGraw are joined by David Nail, Ray Price, Ferlin Husky, Kitty Wells and 44 other country artists as the featured artists of Amazon's 2009 $5 album Holiday Sale at their mp3 Download store.

Throughout the course of his career Darryl Worley has scored multiple hits and while he's bounced around from label to label in recent years, that hasn't stopped the artist from delivering one of the best country radio singles of 2009.

Each week, from now until Christmas, iTunes will be giving away a "Holiday Single of the Week." This week we find Darius Rucker getting the honor of being the first 'batter up' for the 2009 Holiday season with a cute little tune that is sure to be a hit.

While not a super smash hit on country radio, "She Never Got Me Over You" was still one of the best singles to get released in 2009.  Lets find out what made this single worthy of being Roughstock's 39th favorite single of the year.

Delbert McClinton must have had the topic of gossip on his mind when he compiled this dandy 14-song collection. While not strictly country music, Acquired Taste is a record that covers many topics most associated with country music.

The lead single, "Johnny Cash is Dead and his House has Burned Down" certainly sparked an interest amongst country fans.  Can Pilgrimage do the same thing?  Is the album worth the attention the single may have gotten it?

While there are already two Waylon Jennings tribute albums on the market, it seems that there can't be enough of them as a third compilation, with approval of Waylon's widow Jessi Colter, has recently found artists like Dierks Bentley in the studio recording for it.

With this single, Blake Shelton has seemingly 'punted' his last album after only two singles.  Does this song, which also joins the "country-boy anthem" list, sound any better than the potential hits that were left behind in favor of it?

After a long time away from the 'limelight,' singer/songwrter Bryan White returns with his first new album of the decade.  Dustbowl Dreams features ten tracks, of which eight were written or co-written by the artist himself.
