SEAFORTH – ‘BREAKUPS’ We have been following the career development of Seaforth since we were blown away by their ‘Love That’ EP in April 2019.  They are signed to Sony Nashville and it appears that the push is now on to progress into the country mainstream. Tom Jordan and Mitch […]

Nashville singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Lydia Luce has released her latest song, “All The Time”. A song about learning to trust your own voice and cancelling out the negative noise, it was written in the beginning stages of the pandemic after she had already finished writing the record. During the pandemic she […]

GARY QUINN – ‘NOBODY SOMEBODY’ It’s our first new release list of the New Year, and we thought we’d start with a song from one of our top UK talents, Gary Quinn, hopefully the first of many from him this year. ‘Nobody Somebody’ was written at a song writing session […]

JADE HELLIWELL – ‘TELEPHONE’ Jade performed this song at our recent ‘Nashville Sounds In The Round’ gig in Birmingham, and said that it was her turn to be Christmas #1. If the chart was based upon quality and talent, there would be a very keen contest. This is a song that will […]

WILLIAM MICHAEL MORGAN – ‘GIRL LIKE MINE’ It is hard to believe that 5 years have passed since William Michael Morgan burst onto the scene with his debut single, ‘I Met A Girl’. It was clear we had seen the emergence of a major talent who embraced traditional country music. […]

With just a month to go before Christmas, it’s no surprise to see that the new releases this week are heavily focused on festive themes. Not exclusively, however, and we have selected our favourites accordingly… JOHN BAUMANN – ‘TOKYO SMILE/TEXAS DEAD’ We loved his ‘Country Shade’ album which was released […]

Birmingham-based artist Charlotte Young has shared her brand new single, ‘Praying For Rain’, following up her debut EP ‘Blown Away’, which debuted at #1 in the UK Country iTunes Album Chart. ‘Praying for Rain’ was inspired by an episode of One Tree Hill: “I wanted to write something from the […]

THOMAS RHETT – ‘WHAT’S YOUR COUNTRY SONG’ Thomas Rhett is never predictable with his style of country music. He’s just as likely to duet with a pop or R&B artist as a mainstream Nashville artist. However, he’s a traditional country artist at heart. We can glean that much from the […]

BARRY GIBB & JASON ISBELL – ‘WORDS OF A FOOL’ We never envisaged a time when we were including Barry Gibb in our weekly round-up of cool country songs, but such is the diverse nature of our genre, that time has come. The track is the first release from Gibb’s […]
