Steve In little bitty towns (like the one I happen to be in as I write this), this is what they do. So, Lee’s got something real-life to sing about here. But then, there ain’t a lot of people in such places, so not much built-in audience prospect from that angle. And, more importantly, it would … Read more
If that title don’t stick in the head! It’s uptempo. It’s fun and it sounds like a summertime, good time smash to me.
This is what a monster hit sounds like. Set it up with a killer beat and put in some deft and slyly original lyrics. Be sure to have a hook that anyone can be singing along with before it’s over; one the MAKES you begin singing along, actually. Oh, and have it so’s a huge … Read more
The woman tells the truth. That’s the mark of a truly gifted. When one can tell the truth AND find a way to put a hook in it, it’s a thing of beauty. Kacey does it many times on her exceptionally wonderful first album. She is the voice of Young Woman, a woman about ten … Read more

Then, the girl’s voice bursts into the middle of the room with what will be the Hook Of Spring 2013. I … Read more
You know what’s incredible? He’s made lots and lots of music for twenty plus years and has plenty’nuff money. Got a beautiful, talented wife, gorgeous children, loyal friends. He’s an actor in the movies and tv whenever he may wanna. From a 45 year old man that comfortable, I’d not expect an album this dramatic. … Read more
Raul Malo’s voice is a thing of soaring beauty. The new album came out last year and I still cue up my favorite tracks, this one being the topper. It’s got a bit of that Tex-Mix vibe, including some mariachi trumpets making for a spicy feel that’s unlike anything else in the current rotation now, … Read more
