1.) Real Life - Jeff Carson
Jeff Carson has been around since 1995, although he has had quite the struggle in getting his career to take off. I do believe that this is "the magical one" for him because of the many hit songs on this album alone added to the success of his title cut, "Real Life."

2.) Clark Family Experience - Clark Family Experience
Despite the fact that they had no Billboard or radio success, the boys of Clark Family Experience have perservered and released their album, which hopefully means that fans of country music will catch on and grab this fun and unique album.

3.) Blue Moon - Steve Holy It took until his fourth single, but Steve Holy attained his first number one hit. Not only was "Good Morning Beautiful" a hit, it was a multi-week No. 1 hit on Billboard's Country chart. From his first single, "Don't Make Me Beg," to his second, "Blue Moon," to his third, "The Hunger," Steve Holy was consistently seeing his singles go farther up the charts.

4.) Cool Me Down - Jenai Jenai has a sassiness to her voice that echo's the best of the Judds and Raitt. It is almost as if Jenai is the lost Judd sister or daughter of Bonnie Raitt. There are some uptempo songs, (like "Cool Me Down," and "South Side Stomp"), and some soft tender ballads, (like "Written On My Heart" and "It Won't Be Me"), with all the emotion of Mandy Barnett and Trisha Yearwood.

5.) Lucky Man - Hal Ketchum On Lucky Man, his first CD of all new songs since 1998s "I Saw The Light," Hal has teamed up with friend and songwriter Rodney Crowell to produce his best CD yet. Hal teams up with Canadian songstress Lisa Brokop and the legendary Dolly Parton on two beautiful duets "Keep Mom And Dad In Love" and "Two Of The Lucky Ones.

6.) Set This Circus Down - Tim McGraw Tim McGraw has won the CMA Male Vocalist of the Year several years, but until 2001, the Entertainer of the Year award eluded him. This album contains "The Cowboy in Me," "Grown Men Don't Cry," "Unbroken," and "Angry All The Time."

7.) Burn - Jo Dee Messina Out of the eleven songs here, nearly all of them are either upbeat or mid-tempo, with the exception of the beautiful "Bring On The Rain" which Jo Dee sings with the help of Tim McGraw. This is a very empowering song that talks about everything going wrong, but even so, she says she's up to the task.

8.) Can You Hear Me Now - Sawyer Brown Sawyer Brown is releasing the 18th album of their 20-year career. It is released by Curb Records and is called, "Can You Hear Me Now." It has classic Sawyer Brown sound on each and every track. Mark Miller wrote or co-wrote six of the ten tracks.

|
9.) Almeria Club - Hank Williams Jr. With over 70 albums recorded, Hank Williams Jr. doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. With this CD, he has decided to go back to his roots. He decided to record most of the CD at the Almeria club in Almeria, Alabama. Hank's father played at this converted schoolhouse years ago.

|
10.) Lovesick, Broke & Driftin' - Hank Williams III Showing that not only can Hank III sing as well as anybody out there (if not better), he can also write some of the greatest songs a person would ever have the pleasure of listening to. Out of thirteen total tracks, Hank wrote twelve, with the last one being a cover of Bruce Springsteen's song, "Atlantic City."
