Top 4 Top Picks - Epic Nashville Artists

By Shelly Fabian, About.com

Sony Nashville is a country division of Sony Music. Epic is one of four labels under the Sony Nashville label. Artists listed on the label are Tammy Cochran, Billy Gilman, Patty Loveless and Brad Martin.

1. Tammy Cochran - Tammy Cochran

With a powerful voice and touching singles, Tammy Cochran releases her self-titled debut album. Included here is the touching song written for her brothers that both lost the fight to Cystic Fibrosis, "Angels in Waiting."

2. One Voice - Billy Gilman

An instant success despite the fact that there was only one moderately hit single, the stunning "One Voice," which was written for Billy, the CD by the same name nonetheless showcased a promising vocal talent that, given time to mature, could become one of the best that country music has to offer.

3. Mountain Soul - Patty Loveless

Patty went back to her Kentucky roots to record this wonderful bluegrass collection. While not embraced by radio, her video for "The Boys are Back In Town" is a favorite on CMT.

4. Wings of a Honky Tonk Angel - Brad Martin

Keeping his music overly country, while still having that special "something" that makes contemporary fans happy as well, Brad Martin's mixture of slow and fast songs will appeal to many. His professional demeanor is refreshing as well and his smooth voice is pleasing to the ear
