George Strait - "It Just Comes Natural"
Title track from George's latest album. The first single "Give It Away" went to No. 1, and I see a very good possibility this song will follow, and become Strait's 54th chart topper.
Brad Paisley - "She's Everything"
This is Brad's fourth single from Time Well Wasted You can tell he's singing from experience. This is something all women would like their men to say about them.
Montgomery Gentry - "Some People Change"
Title cut from their upcoming album, due out on October 24th. Just because you are raised in a household and taught certain things about some people, doesn't mean that you can't change those ideas. Kenny Chesney fans may recognize this track from Kenny's When The Sun Goes Down CD.
Jason Michael Carroll - "Alyssa Lies"
Jason is a brand new artist on Arista Nashville, and at the rate this single is being added, I expect that he'll be in the Top 10 in no time at all. The song speaks of a topic many don't like to think about - child abuse. Martina dared to address the topic in her hit, "Concrete Angel," and I think Jason's song does just as good a job.
Rodney Atkins - "Watching You"
With the smash No. 1 title track "Going Through Hell," Rodney really burst on the scene. Although this wasn't his first No. 1, it definitely got people's attention in a good way, as someone to watch. This song is a fun story about how children really do learn from their parents... good and bad.
The Wreckers - "My, Oh My"
Does anyone else hear The Judds influence on this track? I love it. I expect it to definitely be a Top 5 hit for the new duo. They have incredible harmonies, and this tune is country to the core.
Toby Keith - "Crash Here Tonight"
It's great to hear Toby show his sensitive side. Yeah, he can be all macho, and all, but this song reminds me of "You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like That," and it's definitely poised for the Top 10.
Taylor Swift - "Tim McGraw"
Taylor Swift is signed to the Big Machine label. This song isn't specifically about Tim McGraw himself, but about his song. She sings that she hopes that her ex thinks of her when he hears their song.
Trent Tomlinson - "One Wing in the Fire"
Trent's first single, "Drunker Than Me" showed his rowdy side, and this tune shows his more thoughtful side, as he worries about his father's soul.
Eric Church - "Two Pink Lines"
As mentioned with Toby and Trent, Eric has shown us his rowdier side, with his debut single "How 'Bout You," and this song takes a true life experience about something that happens to people every day. Is she or isn't she? While not the first song to mention a pregnancy test (Phil Vassar mentioned one in his song "In a Real Love" - "With tears in your eyes and the EPT and said: 'Guess what? Yeah, baby ready or not'"), but it's still very cool.
