There are new albums coming out all the time. We've picked several of the best country album releases from September 2005
When artists are allowed to follow their own muses the results are oftentimes a mixed bag. For every “Red Headed Stranger,” there’s always a “Chris Gaines” album lurking in the shadows. Fortunately for Ryan Shupe & The Rubberband, their brand of contemporary country music is one of the most unique presentations of the genre in years.
Dean Miller's sophomore release, 'Platinum,' finds an artist who seems to know exactly what kind of music he wants to release. Music with his own unique style instead of trying to carbon copy his father's musical genius.
After a break from the music industry, Trisha is back with a vengeance. This album is fun to listen to. She has chosen songs she can have some fun with as well as a few ballads where she can really show off her vocal abilities. It is a great addition to any CD collection.
The whole album is very bluegrass sounding, but some songs are geared more toward country radio. If you liked her 'Mountain Soul' or 'On Your Way Home' albums, or just Patty Loveless music in general, you should give this amazing album a listen.
With their latest CD, Lonestar comes through again with a great collection of new songs that every fan is sure to enjoy! This is one that you'll want to listen to over and over again.
George Jones' voice is just as smooth as ever, maybe even more so. This album is a collection of songs that he wished he had recorded, but "passed on," and we have the rare treat of getting to hear some favorite songs done by a living legend. It is an excellent album, and one that is very easy to listen to. It is a great addition to any music collection.
If you want an album with wonderfully written songs and a passionate performer, listen to 'Walking Among The Living.' Singer/songwriter albums might not appeal to the masses but they can make for some of the best albums ever to be released.
Billy Joe Shaver is the Grand Poet Laureate of country music, with some of the finest and most poignant songs ever penned to his credit. He does not fail to deliver again, with sixteen tracks and a bonus recording of "Feliz Navidad" (with Flaco Jimenez). Shaver's voice wavers a little, but he's back on his feet again and always ready, as he says, to "Try and Try Again."
Gretchen's sophomore album is just as strong as her first. She proves she can hold her own with the boys on the drinking songs, and make you run for a box of tissues with her ballads. She's a woman with her own mind, and she isn't afraid to be who she is. Anyone who loves great country music will enjoy this CD. The lyrics are a little politically incorrect at times, but she is singing about real life and not a fantasy world. To me, this is what country music has always been about.
For all those Wynonna fans who have been waiting for a live CD. Wait no more! This is one that you must have!
