If traditional country is your style, then you really must check out Sounds So Good. Ashton Shepherd has a voice like an angel, and she wrote ten of the eleven tracks. From the lead single, "Taking Off This Pain," which tells the story of a woman who realizes her man isn't giving her what she needs, to the fun sounds of "The Pickin' Shed" and a great drinking song, "Whiskey Won the Battle." A true gem of a collection.

This is some fun music to listen to from an extremely high energy group. The Road Hammers are from Canada, where they made a name for themselves. But, Canada wasn't enough. They wanted to take make a go of it in the United States. My favorite track is the cover of the old Del Reeves song, "Girl on the Billboard." You'll find out just how low Jason can sing on this track. If you enjoy truck driving songs, and country rock, you'll really enjoy this disc.

Over the years, country music has been classified as new and traditional. In the 1980s, when modern country was burning up the charts and the traditional artists couldn't get a song on the radio, Randy Travis broke down the barriers, proving traditional country music was very much alive. Now, after eight years away from mainstream country, Randy Travis is back with an amazing album called Around The Bend.

When describing talented artists who have never received the credit they deserve, Keith Anderson's name is sure to come up. He is one of the nicest and hardest working guys in the industry. His music is about life, love, and, of course, partying. His fans are loyal, and once you hear his new album C'mon, you will see why.
