Steve see the cover foto on the LoCash Cowboys single. a white guy wearing a baseball cap sideways looks fake on two levels. one, it’s a black thing. they look stupid wearing a cap like that and white guys look twice as stupid doing it. two, Country fans totally, absolutely, completely reject such imagery. good luck … Read more
Damn, these wimmin keep on making me feel good’n amazed. There’s probably four hit songs on here new album. I was all prepared not to like it, had strains of Alan Jackson’s “Gone Country” floatin’ in the head when I read that’s what she was gonna do. Should’a realized right off that if any Pop … Read more
Clearly the most unique song on an album with some truly great ones. The use of the auto-tune is just perfect. The little computer thingie first heard on the fabulous “Believe” by Cher in ’98 has been used on so many records and often used with silliness its become joke to serious artists and singer/songwriters, … Read more
This sexy song gets better and better the more I hear it. He’s one of the hottest concert tickets but he doesn’t have an album or single in the Top 20 sales chart just at the moment. I’m betting this’ll get him back in there.

Monitored airplay revealed what many of us already knew: a lot of radio guys were flat-out lying to the trade charts, reporting they were playing songs they weren’t and in a few … Read more
Now, finally, an absolutely excellent new album by some boys for a change. (see previous chat about woman-domination in the field so far this year). The album has six tracks that I could hear as solid radio singles. I pick this one as the lead because it is what it wants to be; that is: … Read more
One of my favorite things in the world is a song with ‘atmosphere’. “Seminole Wind” by John Anderson had it. (example #2..you fill in yours). This album cut has it. A most mesmerizing atmosphere.
With all it’s nah-nah-nah-nah, I was a bit put off the first time i heard it. Dittyish. Following listens, it got to me. The point of view he expresses is a good one. Egalitarian. It comes in at nice 3:15, so doesn’t wear out it’s welcome.
