Two great debut albums came out in 2015 from female artists that have been given a rough ride by the music industry in the years since. Cam’s ‘Untamed’ contained a number one hit in ‘Burning House’ and here we are, nearly four years later, after a record label change, still […]

‘Stronger Than The Truth’, the latest album from Reba McEntire, is an album that could easily pass you by. It won’t necessarily produce radio hits, but please, don’t let that detract from the immense quality on show here. Co-produced by Reba and the hugely experienced Buddy Cannon, this album takes […]

The Melted Morning, the third studio album by Danni Nicholls released very recently, will be classified under ‘Americana’ which is fine. However, her sumptuous voice that spans the emotional spectrum transcends labels. Nicholls goes straight back to Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt, such is her ability to fuse so many […]

TC3 are back and I’m about to shotgun a 6-pack while blasting brand new jam ‘Crackin’ Cold Ones With The Boys’. It premiered on BBC Radio 2 last night ahead of the single drop at midnight. All I can say is… Get this cranked… LOUD! Is it summer?! Because this […]

Shots fired as Little Big Town deliver a message of empowerment for women with brand new single The Daughters. Following The Breaker in 2017 and single Summer Fever in 2018, The Daughters dropped without warning and is the latest release from the foursome. The main focus of the ballad is […]

Getting there in time for the support is often rewarded by discovering new names. That’s how I came across Roseanne Reid who has just released her debut album,Trails. Backing no less a name as Kathy Mattea, Reid’s low key, quiet approach to roots/Americana made a deep impression on this listener. […]

Before country had R ‘n’ B, country had B ‘n’ D.  Since the outstanding news dropped early in 2019 that Brooks and Dunn had a new album on the way, to be filled with tantalising collaborations with today’s country artists, I’ve been a bit giddy. And we’ve been drip-fed singles […]

Jake Owen is back, baby, although don’t let Jake hear you say that because in his mind he has never been away and it will make him angry! ‘Greetings…’ replete with its front-cover, vacation postcard imagery, is Jake’s first album since 2016’s ‘American Love’ if you don’t count the ‘get […]

No Saint: introducing Lauren Jenkins! Big Machines’ little pocket rocket. Jenkins is already on the New York Times, Billboard, Rolling Stone and Pandora, Artist to Watch lists! Born in Texas and raised in Carolina, singer-songwriter Lauren is no stranger to life on the road. Touring the US since she was […]

Texan born, Nashville based ‘pocket-rocket’ Maren Morris set the world ablaze in 2016 with her homage to Country music in ‘My Church’. She burst into tears at the C2C Festival in London when the crowd at the O2 Arena sang the song back to her, unprompted, whilst she performed from […]
