Josh Thompson – Way Out Here
Way Out Here By: Josh Thompson Release Date: February 23, 2010 Josh Thompson, a Milwaukee native, debuted on country radio with “Beer On The Table”, appropriate considering the his hometown is the beer capitol of the world. In Thompson’s debut album, “Way Out Here”, his working-class roots and honky-tonk approach are definitely prevalent. For Thompson, this is something he relates with. "I love the blue collar honky-tonk crowd," Thompson said in a press statement, "The men and women that, like it says in 'Beer On the Table,' pretty much work their butts off all week and like to have a good time ...
Sarah Buxton – Sarah Buxton
Sarah Buxton By: Sarah Buxton Release Date: February 23, 2010 Sarah Buxton’s full-album was in the works for several years as she was carefully crafting her career as an artist and songwriter.

Though it seems hard to believe it’s her debut, Buxton’s self-titled entrance features some of her best works including my personal favorite, “Innocence”, and her recent music video breakout “Outside My Window”. Listeners will recognize “Stupid Boy”, a song Buxton co-wrote, as ...

While that one tool is really awesome, it hardly gets the use, or air-time, it deserves. Turner’s distinct, deep voice, when combined with either his pop-country songs or his gospel infused album cuts, really give him that desirable feel that is so unique over the rest. In “Haywire”, released Tuesday, Turner continues with ...

Hillbilly Bone By: Blake Shelton Release Date: March 2, 2010 Blake Shelton is known to play a prank or two but the fact his recent album only has six out of the standard 10 (or so) tracks is no joke. The six-pak album format is sort of a test run for getting new music out to the fans faster. Avoiding the typical year or so turnaround that really... [Read more of this review]
Easton Corbin By: Easton Corbin Release Date: March 2, 2010 Easton Corbin’s “easy listening” approach and striking vocal resemblance to another Mercury Records power player really put this Florida native on the Nashville map. His debut single, “A Little More Country Than That”, truly provides a prelude into who he is and what to expect... [Read more of this review]
