Country Music Single Releases - Week of June 23, 2008

What's new on country radio?

From Jennifer Webb, for About.com

Read Jenn's thoughts on the new singles that are released for the week of June 23, 2008.

Jewel - "I Do"

Jewel - Perfectly ClearValory
Even though this song is more on the Pop side of Country, I can see it doing well at radio. I really think Jewel has a long career ahead of her in the Country Music genre. Her new material is very impressive and I know I'm not the only one thinking that way. Listen

Brad Paisley - "Waitin' On A Woman"

Brad Paisley - 'Time Well Wasted'Arista Nashville
Originally recorded and released on Brad's Time Well Wasted album, "Waitin' On A Woman" was re-done and will now have a chance on the charts. With every song Brad writes, I'm in awe of his talent and the way he strings words along to create such beautiful lyrics. Listen

Sara Evans - "Love You With All My Heart"

Sara Evans - Greatest HitsSony BMG
For this song to have been released on an album back in 2006, it sure fits nicely with the latest happenings in Sara's life. It's hard to let your guard down after you've been hurt, but give things time and it will happen. Just like it does in this song. Listen

Lee Brice - "Upper Middle Class White Trash"

This is a really fun song and I like Lee's voice too. Even though the lyrics give in to a few "redneck" stereotypes, it's done in a humorous way, which makes it all okay. Listen to this song and you just might find out what happens when a regular guy wins the lottery and makes a few investments in the neighborhood. Listen

Trailer Choir - "Off The Hillbilly Hook"

Trailer Choir - "Off the Hillbilly Hook"Showdog Nashville
You won't get all the lyrics the first time through, so be prepared to listen to this one a few times. Trailer Choir is on Toby Keith's Show Dog Nashville label, which means that they have all the backing in the world and are in for what's sure to be a hyper-speed career path that's just as fast as this song. However, what I would like to hear is a slower song so I can get a better feel for the member's vocals. Listen

Emma Mae Jacob - "With You"

I never would have guessed Emma Mae Jacob to be sixteen years old after listening to this song. She has a very powerful voice, yet she controls it so well. It's a shame that new artists have such a hard time receiving airplay, because a lot of talented people don't get the break they deserve. Listen
