Sun, 14 Dec 2008 10:41:09 PST en-us http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/004459.shtml CD Reviews The Road Hammers (Jason McCoy, Clayton Bellamy, Chris Byrne and Corbett Frasz) are a four piece in your face, totally serious about their music, fusion of Blues, Country and Southern Rock, singing songs with vocal intensity about the open road and the trucking culture. The best part: you do not have to be an 18 wheeler driver to enjoy! You just have to love fun, up-tempo rocking county music fused with a mix of other music genres. This is the ultimate road trip CD excursion.

This boy’s gonna show you!

A sixth-generation Texan, Lewis was born in the West Texas town of Lubbock and raised just north of Austin in the town of Round Rock. From Buddy Holly to Waylon Jennings and Ronnie Dunn, the region has given us some of Texas' most influential artists. With a pure country voice as big as the Lone Star sky and a Tue, 15 Apr 2008 10:59:23 PST http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/004270.shtml http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/004160.shtml CD Reviews A couple of years in the making, RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW is a very personal collection of songs - a journal so to speak of one man's quest to find himself. Jamie provides for us a window to gaze deeply into his being, resulting in a breath-taking journey of soul-searching.

It just seems right to have this album sold at the CRACKER BARREL stores - a merging of two US "institutions"!

Sold through Cracker Barrel ®, this CD features 11 tracks of holiday standards and a couple new songs just to keep things interesting. Cody seems to fit well into the mix with this band of seasoned professionals. This is a fun CD that will fit in well in any holiday gathering Mon, 03 Dec 2007 15:34:52 PST http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/004011.shtml http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/003996.shtml CD Reviews As one of country music's leading ladies, Trisha Yearwood has always produced quality music. Every album shows the extra love she puts into each song. With one of the strongest voices known in any genre, Trisha's fans spread far and wide. Constantly evolving with the times. it's only natural that her latest album Heaven, Heartache And The Power Of Love would be her best one yet.

I like variety when it comes to albums, so thankfully there is a good mixture of uptempo, midtempo, and slow songs on this one. The best thing is the group's harmonies and there's plenty of that to go around Wed, 28 Nov 2007 20:13:45 PST http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/003995.shtml http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/003937.shtml CD Reviews Josh Turner can rest easy! He won't get his windows soaped with his Halloween treat of an album release! "Everything is Fine" is a CD that you put into your player, hit the repeat button and snuggle up with the love of your life.

Then she had better hold on because this album is going to take her on a ride she will never forget! Good job, Carrie!

The 14 tracks, 12 of which LeAnn co-wrote, bid goodbye to that 13 year old mini-Patsy Cline, singing "Blue" and introduces us to a mature, earthy, sultry, full grown woman. her voice has a depth, a strength, a grittiness to it now, a real tribute to her not conforming to the "box" Nashville wanted to package her in Thu, 25 Oct 2007 16:59:35 PST http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/003919.shtml http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/003918.shtml CD Reviews Gary's voice loses it's "rock" edge in this deeply personal, romantic song where he remembers a loved one lost. He opens his heart up and let's us briefly inside, as we listen to the aching lyrics, "I've been told I shouldn't stand in your rain, but that's the only place I can see your face". "Let your memory soak me to the bone, reminds me that I'm not alone in yesterday's rain."

This reviewer really missed hearing Ronnie's awesome voice on those ballads Fri, 05 Oct 2007 08:33:57 PST http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/003917.shtml http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/003916.shtml CD Reviews In "Still Feels Good", Rascal Flatts proves that they are alive and well, and that this trio is definitely on the cutting edge of country music ... even paving the way for some new artists. Like the first four albums ... .number five is better than ever and a "must have" for every Rascal Flatts fan out there ... and for any fan of just great country music! Wed, 03 Oct 2007 12:44:05 PST http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/003916.shtml http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/003915.shtml CD Reviews "Walk On” is an album whose tracks are about the honest, everyday trials, tribulations, joys and humor of real life. Kellie Coffey has assembled 12 country songs, written from the woman’s point of view and THAT is so darn refreshing! She has fearlessly penned her emotions, happy or heartbreak, and given us an amazing CD. Oklahoma born Kellie Coffey is definitely making country music turn it’s ear and listen.

This Alberta , Canada native left Nashville and Music Row behind seven years ago, moving back home to his Canadian roots. But, Brandt’s courage to leave Music Row and everything associated with it should give you a hint that he is an artist first…who wouldn’t compromise his values or creativity…a real Risk to take in the music industry.

He’s zeroing in on what country is all about; the music; the songs.

Nice to have you back, Mr. Tritt!!

Now, with the release of his latest CD “Real Things”, we delightfully hear a more mature, polished, vocally brilliant, “comfortable in his country roots” Joe Nichols.

Their name may say “Halfway”, but don’t forget their name…they will be all the way to the top in no time flat! Tue, 21 Aug 2007 09:02:45 PST http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/003777.shtml http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/003776.shtml CD Reviews Cole Deggs And The Lonesome have just released their self-titled debut album. The band is made up of two sets of brothers and a friend, Cole Deggs, who handles lead vocals and his brother Shane. The other set are Jimmy and David Wallace, with their friend, Brian Hayes completing the line-up. This combination of talent mixes up some great aggressive southern rock, while keeping to it's country roots with their sweet harmonies and story-telling ballads.

With “Flying By”, talking about the passing of time from childhood to old age, “My Everything”, a porch swing ballad, sung with that smooth country voice; ”you are my sunshine, my wind and my rain, all my tomorrows are here with you today” and “You Can’t Lose Me”, Thu, 19 Jul 2007 18:04:31 PST http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/003732.shtml http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/003692.shtml CD Reviews Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman’s new album “Jukebox” is a trip down memory lane for all of us baby boomers, and a delightful “introduction” for the younger crowd, to the music that knew AM radio stations, vinyl records, swiveling hips, the British Invasion and Love beads. Tue, 03 Jul 2007 11:46:14 PST http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/003692.shtml http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/003691.shtml CD Reviews Cape Breton native, Jimmy Rankin, has just released his third solo album “Edge Of Day”, an album that seems woven from the threads of his own personal experiences, yet each song is a story that can be individually interpreted by every listener… reminiscent of the folk songs by Bob Dylan, Janis Ian, Peter, Paul and Mary, raw, lyrical poetry, honest. Tue, 03 Jul 2007 11:41:59 PST http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/003691.shtml http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/004307.shtml CD Reviews Josh offers up fourteen opportunities to get to hear real honest country music brought forth to you in creative ways that makes anyone who loves country music to beg for more. Josh, we appreciate your musical sincerity!

In 2003, she won Sony Canada’s version of “Nashville Star”, at the age of 15, but with a maturity well beyond her years. Now, that extremely talented real country girl is releasing her second CD, “Movin’ On”, an album filled with country-pop songs.

Now I can say this CD is also called “5th Gear” because of it’s 5 out of 5 stars. Mon, 18 Jun 2007 19:11:25 PST http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/003628.shtml http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/003626.shtml CD Reviews To quote Jon Bon Jovi, “Artistic freedom is what made this record possible”…a record influenced by Nashville. The album is filled with a mixture of country rock and country ballads, done only as Bon Jovi can do them. Sun, 17 Jun 2007 08:01:44 PST http://www.thatscountry.com/am2/publish/reviews/003626.shtml
