Month: July 2016

Sunday Selections: July 31, 2016

July 31, 2016 Jonathan Keefe 18

You say, “tomato,” we say… actually, we’ll let Margo Price fill in the rest.

Single Review: Miranda Lambert, “Vice”

July 28, 2016 Kevin John Coyne 8

“When it hurts this good, you’ve got to play it twice.”

Sunday Selections: July 24, 2016

If you need us, we’ll be where our reputations don’t precede us.

Album Review: Brandy Clark, Big Day in a Small Town

July 18, 2016 Kevin John Coyne 3

One of the rare concept albums that lives up to its conceit while each song still able to stand on its own, Big Day in a Small Town demonstrates as well that Brandy Clark’s debut album wasn’t a fluke. She really is this good.

Artist Spotlight: Jeremy Nail

July 14, 2016 Sam Gazdziak 0

Texas singer/songwriter puts a health scare behind him with a stellar new album.

Single Review: Eric Church, “Record Year”

July 11, 2016 Kevin John Coyne 8

“Record Year” is cleverly written, intertwining turns of phrase with musical references that will satisfy everyone from the casual country fan (Red Headed Stranger) to the scholarly one (New Grass Revival.)

Single Review: Jason Aldean, “Lights Come On”

July 11, 2016 Kevin John Coyne 5

Perhaps this is a song best heard in its proper context.

Sunday Selections: July 10, 2016

July 10, 2016 Jonathan Keefe 1

With so much to get caught up on, there’s no time for a snarky one-liner.

Dixie Chicks Revisited: Home

July 7, 2016 Kevin John Coyne 8

Recorded in Texas during their standoff with their record label, Home threw out the rulebook completely.
