Kathy, I’m going to try and review the Jerrod album soon. Until then, keep plugs for it on posts that are relevant to him.

Have you guys listened to Jerrod Niemann? I’ve been listening to his record, “Judge Jerrod & The Hung Jury” all week. It’s so good! Plus with over 15 songs, it’s hard to find!! Check out the video for “Lover Lover”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q0LE3gtUn8

Michelle Wright has one hell of a voice, but, like Shelby Lynne and Cindy Murphy of Dixiana, she has a deep, husky alto that radio programmers just didn’t seem to go for.

“It Matters to Me” is far and away my favorite vocal turn and single from Hill, and I would have it fairly high on my own list. There’s a little catch in her voice as she breaks into the second chorus that’s just terrific, lived-in singing.

Cowgirl’s Prayer is a fantastic album, and I hope “Thanks to You,” which is one of Harris’ best singles, shows up on the list at some point.

Great pick-ups on the Old Dogs and lesser-known Marty Stuart hits, too. Good stuff all around.

Wow! Good stuff!
Never been a huge McGraw fan but have always liked that song… cuz it makes ya think.

STILL one of my fave Kathy Mattea songs.

LOVE the Patty tunes. It’s no wonder she is still so highly regarded with a dedicated fan base.

I remember when that Michelle Wright song came out and how “controversial” it was. Brilliant for her to record it just the same.

MEGA KUDOS for the Old Dogs shout-out!!

Perfect timing on the Chely Wright cut.

I’ve been going back and reevaluating her output now that she’s in the news again.

I keep repeating “It Was.” It’s such a perfectly constructed song, especially the last line of the chorus: “It did all the things love does, that’s how I knew it was.”

So very original.

If there ever was a quintessential 90′s country song, Everywhere by Tim McGraw is it, and I absolutely love that song; I often feel sad right along with Tim as he’s singing it, but still a really great piece of work.

Love, love, love the Chely Track, that was my favorite song she recorded until, “Notes To The Coroner” came this year. I suggest watching the video for whoever didn’t see it, beautiful.

“Someday Soon” happens to be my least favorite of Suzy’s actual hit songs.

“A Door” was released as a single? I thought it was charting just from unsolicited plays? Maybe I’m getting my thoughts wrong it is 4 in the morning…

Love Michelle Wright still waiting for another album 2006′s Everything and More was her last one too long to wait, then again still waiting for new Sara Evans from 2005….

Can’t go wrong with Emmylou, and Patty Loveless all awesome tracks.

Kathy as well…

This list is making me go back and listen to Clay Walker’s older stuff as I forgot how good a lot of it was…”Only On Days That End In “Y”" anybody :P

Just Listened to Faith’s album again yesterday, and it really was a great deep album, “I Can’t Do That Anymore” was the highlight for me. The only cut I don’t like was the Shelby Lynne duet, love them both but I could care less to hear that one again.

Love the whole Cowgirl’s Prayer album from Emmylou and “Everywhere” is one of my favorite McGraw songs. This countdown has already been a ton of fun and the fact that songs as good as these are already showing up and we haven’t even reached the Top 300 yet, shows what an embarrassment of riches the decade was. When I compare it to the list of this most recent decade’s top singles, I can’t help but feel majorly disappointed with the state of today’s country radio. Looking at a current list of the Top 40 singles, I’m usually lucky if I like five of the songs. I don’t know if it’s the slower turnover now, or the nostalgia factor of growing up on these songs in the 90s, but most of today’s hits can’t even hold a candle to those from even less than 20 years ago.
