Top 4 Top Picks from May 2003

By Shelly Fabian, About.com

There are new albums coming out all the time. We've picked several of the best country releases from May 2003.

1. Live - Charlie Robison

"Live" has Charlie favorites like "Poor Man's Son," "Barlight," and "My Hometown," but another plus is that he covers other songs most recognizable when performed by other artists.

2. Greatest Hits - Jo Dee Messina

While Jo Dee may have only had three CDs released prior to this Greatest Hits package, she certainly had enough hits to fill up such a release and the four new tracks add to her growing legacy as a country artist. This is a nice collection and a great place to introduce new fans to Jo Dee’s music.

3. The Next Right Thing - T. Graham Brown

T. Graham Brown delivers his usual brand of country, rock and soul, with up-tempo rocking tracks such as "Tennessee Hideaway" and "Still Not Our of the Woods." But we also see a more sensitive side of T., showing that his 10-year struggle without the stability of major-label support hasn't left him jaded, and his personal struggles have only made him stronger.

4. Rainbow Man - Jeff Bates

Jeff Bates wears his heart on his sleeve and has created one of the best debut albums to be released in quite a while. Every song on "Rainbow Man" could be a single and with the success of The Love Song," it looks like country music may have found a new superstar in Jeff Bates. If you love heartfelt country music, then you'll love this CD.
