Justin Moore, "Back That Thing Up"

July 27, 2008 Kevin John Coyne 4

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed that this isn't a countrified version of the Juvenile hit. Alas, it's just a hillbilly rave-up that finds a country boy trying to get a city

Hayes Carll, "It's a Shame"

July 27, 2008 Kevin John Coyne 2

His song “She Left Me For Jesus” was one of those rare intentionally funny songs, but Hayes Carll is just as capable of turning in a sincere and reflective song of unrequited love. His vocal

Darryl Worley, "Tequila on Ice"

July 27, 2008 Kevin John Coyne 7

Worley goes mellow on his first single for his new label, Stroudavarious Records. The song is so laid back that it's easy to miss the charming lyric. While it's nice to hear him explore the

Kristy Lee Cook, “Fifteen Minutes of Shame”

July 23, 2008 Kevin John Coyne 14

I’m going to come right out and say it at the beginning: I like the single. Yes, Kristy Lee Cook was an instant punchline this season on American Idol, but she really impressed me when

Blake Shelton, “She Wouldn’t Be Gone”

July 22, 2008 Leeann Ward 11

Blake Shelton has, arguably, one of the strongest voices in country music today. This fact is evident on his latest single, “She Wouldn’t Be Gone” While this song may be another composition about the regret

Dolly Parton, “Shinola”

July 22, 2008 Leeann Ward 2

Dolly’s had enough, and as you’d expect from Ms. Parton, she doesn’t mince words as she gives this arrogant jerk the proverbial boot: “You don’t know love from shinola/With You, love is not what I found/A

Trace Adkins, “Muddy Water”

July 22, 2008 Leeann Ward 7

Maybe he was helped by his stint in a gospel quartet, but Trace Adkins’ voice sounds like it was specifically made to sing gospel music. He sings this song of redemption with power, but does

Montgomery Gentry, “Roll With Me”

July 20, 2008 Leeann Ward 23

Montgomery Gentry slows things down with their new single, “Roll With Me.” Instead of trading lines, Troy Gentry sings lead while Eddie Montgomery provides particularly appealing harmony vocals to a rather pleasant sounding melody. Regrettably,

Review: Billy Ray Cyrus, “Somebody Said a Prayer”

July 17, 2008 Leeann Ward 37

Now, Billy Ray Cyrus may not necessarily be known for his understated vocals. In fact, he’s got some pretty effective pipes when he needs them. On this song, however, he takes the belting to a

Sara Evans, “Love You With All My Heart”

July 17, 2008 Leeann Ward 15

If you tend to embarrass easily, this song is likely to elicit some serious blushing, especially if you’re not alone when listening to it. In this steamy ballad, Sara sings of how it’s been a
