single reveiw

With "Blue Sky," Capitol Records Nashville is sticking with Emily West with the hopes that this super talented artist can finally get something up the charts.  Will this beautiful and lyrical ballad, which gets an assist from Keith Urban, be her breakthrough?

Hmm. A 16-year-old kid on the usually kiddie-safe Lyric Street label, singing a song called "Tell Your Sister I'm Single." This could be very interesting. Does the 16 year old sound more like pop singer Justin Bieber or does he sound completely different?

For only the fourth time in the last 15 years, George Strait failed to get a single, "Twang," inside of country music's Top 10.  He looks to Return to the Top 10 with this single.  Can this song, which Jim Lauderdale co-wrote with Blaine Larsen & Jimmy Ritchey, get him there?

It was bound to happen.  Sooner or later a country music artist was bound to take a the studio-trickery of blatant autotune usage and bring it to the airwaves.  If we can get past the digitalized vocal in the chorus, does this songhave enough to break this duo at radio?

Have you ever wondered what a Kenny Chesney song might sound like if it were recorded by somebody with a pliable soulful voice (and not 'just' a 'country' voice)?  If you did, you have your chance here with this single the follow-up to the Top 10 hit "Red Light."

Jessica Harp stormed on the country scene a few years back as 1/2 of the Wreckers with Michelle Branch.  While her debut single "Boy Like Me" managed a Top 40 birth, the single failed to ignite at Radio or CMT.  Will this title track to her upcoming album, do any better?

Jack Ingram's mainstream radio career has been spotty at best and while his last single failed to score with audiences, he's usually found success with tempo tracks like this one.  That being said, does this single do enough to deserve a shot at country radio?

While new as a duo, Both Keith Burns and Michelle Poe have been down this road before as artists.  Burns was a member of Trick Pony and Poe had a solo deal with a major label while also touring with Dierks Bentley.  Does this single have any hit potential?

With this single Jewel returns to the country charts with with a sound that is slightly different than what she sent out last time around on her Perfectly Clear album.  Will this song, which is from the film Valentine's Day, be a big hit for the singer/songwriter?
