There are new albums coming out all the time. We've picked several of the best country releases from June 2003.
On the first single, "The Truth About Men," Montgomery Gentry, Blake Shelton, and Andy Griggs help Tracy sing about what men really want to do and how they really feel when it comes to certain situations that women put them in. "Drinking Bone," the second single is a great honky tonk tune with a whole slew of catchy lyrics to sing along with. For fans of the slower tempo songs, you will more than likely love "When You Go" and "Somewhere I Wanna Go."
Marty Stuart has brought real country music back with his latest release. One of the standout songs on the album was co-written by Marty and his wife Connie Smith. Merle Haggard joins Marty Stuart to sing "Farmers Blues."
Like most people that know who Buddy Jewell is, I first heard of him when I saw him on the "Nashville Star" competition each week. From the very start, I thought he had a fabulous voice, and his performances were always excellent, no matter what type of song he performed. In the end, he was voted the "Nashville Star," and with this album, he proves that he's no fluke. He's the real deal.[
Anyone who likes either of Brian McComas' hit songs, (or new country music artists in general), should give his self-titled debut CD a chance. It isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread but it sure isn't a coaster either. What the album presents is a talented singer/songwriter with a warm voice that needs to be heard.
While all the songs on the CD are solid, the best ones are "(This Ain't) No Thinkin Thing," "The Rest Of Mine," the mournful ballad "Every Light In The House" and the singles from the Chrome CD, "Chrome," "I'm Tryin'" and "Help Me Understand."
You can never say that all of Brooks & Dunn's music sounds the same, and this album is a prime example, with a vast selection of styles of songs. From the Honky Tonk of "You Can't Take the Honky Tonk Out of the Girl" to the Gospel sound of "Holy War." But, this album perfectly represents the varied types of music that Kix and Ronnie grew up with.
Pat Green might be a father-to-be but currently his "baby" is his latest album called "Wave on Wave." As with all of his albums, he wrote or co-wrote many of the songs and those he did not he selected the perfect songs to record. Thirteen tracks are to be devoured and listened to in settings ranging from a bar to a truck and I bet you will want to go hear Pat live after listening to this one.
Cory Morrow is no stranger to playing live concerts or releasing albums but now he can add a live album and DVD to his collection of accomplishments - and both will, no doubt, be enjoyable by many country music fans.
Once more, Brad puts out an album of traditional country music showcasing his fantastic guitar playing, great songwriting (he wrote or co-wrote 10 of the 16 songs on the album), and mellow singing voice.
Chris LeDoux has survived many things and has lived a life that has seen enough for two lifetimes. He is a man with many passions and the wherewithal to see that he follows each passion. "Horsepower" is a record that showcases a passionate musician balancing his past rowdy rodeo cowboy ways with his newer older reflective mood. It's a balance that fits him well. Fans of Chris will surely love "Horsepower" as will western music fans.
