Read Jenn's thoughts on the new singles that are released for the week of June 9, 2008.
Lady Antebellum - "Lookin For A Good Time"
Capitol Nashville
This is a great follow-up to "Love Don't Live Here Anymore." What I like about it is that it seems more like a conversation set to music, since both Hillary Scott and Charles Kelley take turns with the vocals. Just like the title suggests, if you're looking for a good song to latch onto, this is the one. Listen

Jessica Simpson - "Come On Over"
"Come On Over" was written by Jessica along with Rachel Proctor and has "Hit" potential all over it. The sound is something that would really come across as something special on radio. Even when Jessica was releasing Pop music, there always seemed to be a country girl hiding in her (after all, she's from Texas!) and now that it's coming out I'm enjoying her music. ListenJohn Michael Montgomery - "If You Ever Went Away"
Stringtown/ CO5 Nashville
When songs start out rather soft and then build up to show more emotion in the lyrics, I think that really drives home the feeling of the storyline. John Michael Montgomery has always had a wonderful voice and it's still in great shape with this new single. Listen

Kellie Pickler - "Don't You Know You're Beautiful"
BNA Nashville
"Don't You Know You're Beautiful" is something that should be said to every little girl as well as grown up women. Don't depend on others to tell you how wonderful you are - that strength should come from within. Stay true to yourself and you can do anything you set your mind to. Listen

The Road Hammers - "Girl On The Billboard"
Montage
The Road Hammers are releasing their version of the classic Del Reeves song "Girl On The Billboard" as a single and I really hope it gets a decent amount of radio airplay. They guys have injected a little bit of octane into the sound and the lyrics are challenging enough you can't help but try to sing along. Listen
Crossin' Dixon - "I Love My Old Bird Dog (& I Love You)"
Broken Bow Records
When I first saw the title I thought this would be a humorous single, but suprisingly it's not. Life's frustrations will come and go but there's nothing more this man loves than to be with his wife. Who wouldn't want to hear that on the radio and share it with their sweetie. Listen

Heartland - "Slow Down"
Just about every little girl's father has a hard time letting his baby grow up and that's what this song is about. Though it's a little on the slow side, it's bound to tug at people's heartstrings. ListenEric Durrance - "Angels Fly Away"
Wind-Up/Nine North
Our lives often feel too busy for us to take the time to talk to people, but that's how we gain knowledge and wisdom - through those who have already been down that road. Learn from other people and cherish the angels in your life before they fly away. This is a very inspirational song. Listen
