I really like the Christmas compilation named “Christmas Angels” from a few years back because of Amber Dotson’s version of “Blue Christmas”. I was so hoping to see a full album release from Amber but after two failed radio singles she disappeared……

Albums I would like to buy on CD: Jypsi’s debut, Carter’s Chord’s debut, and the upcoming album from Crystal Shawanda. What I really want though is a new album from Sunny Sweeney, and Ashley Monroe, and Sarah Buxton! (but I’m not holding my breath….)

There’s a ticket special on the internet today where for $ 10 I could buy a ticket to an Indian casino show featuring Brooks & Dunn, ZZ Top, & Rodney Atkins. I’ll pass on that one….

Yes, I have them. They are great. Kathy was meant to sing Christmas songs, I think.

Leeann,

Have you heard Kathy Mattea’s Christmas albums? Those two sets are my favorite holiday collections. “Good News” won her a Grammy, but I think that “Joy For Christmas Day” is even better.

Jake, I’m looking forward to Faith’s Christmas album. I am a complete sucker for Christmas music in general though. I know what you mean about being leary, but I think she could make a really good one and it sounds like she’s going to keep it classic, for the most part. I’m hoping it’s as good as Martina’s Christmas album, which could have been too much, but ended up being perfect.

Sugarland’s new set hopefully will be more of what I, and it seems everyone else, knows their capable of. I’m going to be away from home on vacation when the album comes out, but im bringing along my ipod touch to download it wirelessly the second it comes out. haha.

Away from the country scene for a second, i too am looking forward to the new Jonas Brothers set. Though there current CD is nothing i like, the two new singles they released on iTunes made me a fan.

Her last album is still in frequent rotation in my car and on my Ipod. I’m excited for that and thanks for the Youtube clip. That was a treat.

The Sugarland is a record I’m hopeful for. I have the Jamey Johnson advance and the new tracks fit the record well (it’s still hard to figure what the second single will be though). I think the Patty Loveless record will be very good. I’ve always liked Rodney Hayden and Wade Bowen so I look forward to those records as well.

I’m keen to hear Brad Paisley’s instrumental album.

Ah, I stand corrected on TSwift, and newly re-optimistic about her new set. And I second Brody’s Randy Rogers Band and Bruce Robison mentions.

I’m looking forward to Eric Church’s new album Carolina. His debut was one of my favorites when it came out and still is. I’m also pretty excited for Todd Snider’s too. I love that guy.
