Country Music Single Releases - Week of September 1, 2008

What are the latest country music singles to hit radio?

From Shelly Fabian, About.com Guide

Read Jenn's thoughts on the new country music singles that are released for the week of September 1, 2008.

Miranda Lambert - "More Like Her"

Miranda Lambert - Crazy Ex GirlfriendSony BMG
Miranda has a reputation of being the sassy Texan singing about how she's a "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend," and striking up matches and watching them burn in "Kerosene." What some casual radio listeners may not understand is that she is just as good when singing about tender topics like love/relationships. Her voice is so pretty and it would be a shame for people to miss out on it, so that's why I'm glad this is her latest single. Listen

Dierks Bentley - "Sweet And Wild"

Dierks Bentley - Greatest Hits: Every Mile a Memory Capitol Nashville
Like Miranda, Dierks Bentley is an artist I would consider to be one of my favorites. I was so happy to learn Dierks would be releasing "Sweet And Wild" to radio. Since there were two new songs on his Greatest Hits album, it was a toss up between this and "With The Band," which would have also been a good single. Not only do I hope this will give Dierks a boost, but Sarah Buxton (who is also featured) as well. She has a unique voice that people should acknowledge, so be sure to check out her music too.

Melonie Cannon - "I Call It Gone"

There's something refreshing about this single and it's not just because it is bluegrass. From the clip I heard, I noticed that Melonie's voice has become even better in the few years since she released her first album. Aside from the vocals, I like how there's not busy music behind the lyrics. Often with bluegrass songs there's a tendency for fitting in as many instruments you can in the background and it can be a bit too much. Listen
