Read Jenn's thoughts on the new singles that are released for the week of June 2, 2008.
Keith Urban - "You Look Good In My Shirt"
Capitol Nashville
Golden Road had a wealth of great Keith Urban songs, but there was always one I thought would be such a hit on radio. Now that he's released a Greatest Hits collection, it's a nice surprise that the next single is "You Look Good In My Shirt." Keith re-recorded the tune and now it's only a matter of time before it goes all the way to the top of the charts.

George Strait - "Troubadour"
MCA Nashville
George Strait's music just makes me want to sit back, take it easy, and enjoy. "Troubadour" isn't too fast or too slow, it's just the right tempo for a song that could be the life story for many musicians traveling around just doing what they love to do. It doesn't matter whether or not you are just starting out or you're more experienced - nothing will change that traveling spirit, even if you leave this world.

James LeBlanc - "I'm Here"
This song places importance on something that really matters - forgiveness. People make mistakes and it takes a kind soul to do what they can to help those who have had some hard times in their lives. It also takes a strong person to admit you need that help. The song is wonderfully written and James really delivers, making the song sound very inspirational. ListenSteve Azar - "I Won't Let You Lead Me Down"
Ride
Lately, Steve Azar hasn't been played on the radio as regularly as I think he should. Hopefully, with this single he'll be back in full force, because it is a winner. If this is the kind of material on his album, Indianola, then sign me up.

One Flew South - "My Kind Of Beautiful"
Decca
I've been going through an Andy Griggs phase lately, so I immediately recognized "My Kind Of Beautiful" before it ever began playing. What really caught my attention were the harmonies between the members of this trio. You'd really think they had grown up singing together insteading of meeting while in New York. This is a fun song that should be played on the radio. Listen

Laura Bryna - "Life Is Good"
Equity Music
You can't go wrong with an upbeat, positive song like "Life Is Good" and you can't help but have a smile on your face when it's over. It's one of those songs that makes you realize you shouldn't dwell on negative things. Give yourself some room the breathe and think of thing in a positive way. Listen
