The duo got a Grammy last month for Best Country Duo/Group performance for a song they sing with Taylor Swift that’s in the soundtrack of the coming movie “The Hunger Games”, which’ll probably be a big one. That single, “Safe and Sound” has sold over half a million units now and the full soundtrack and … Read more
His run with MCA produced just one hit single. “Wave On Wave” in ’03 got to #3 on the airplay charts. But Pat was already well established as a Texas music who could, then and still now, sellout most venues every night anywhere in this here state. This song is his first on the Sugar … Read more
Sure was hopin’ for something more enticing than this as the next radio single. I’s just crazy about his first album, listened to it track after track, over and over all the way to Houston and back the week it came out. There’s one, maybe two songs remaining on that album that would be better … Read more
If you listen to it one way, it can be a bit on the creepy side, like maybe he’s one’a those guys women talk about an shudder. If you listen to it t’other way, maybe he’s singing to just that one special gal who really, really wants him to give her them kinda strokes. I … Read more

It’s becoming one of my favorites now, probably the best song on the stack now under consideration for add. It reminds me a lot of some of the good work of the Folk/Rock bands of the late 70s.
It’s a summertime ballad and, given the slowness of the charts, releasing it now is perfect timing. If it’s a hit, it should then be moving into the airplay Top 10 along about June. Pretty good record, Luke’s got some character in his voice that instantly communicates “Country” when the listener’s scan button stops on … Read more
It’s so Lady Antebellum-ish, it might be difficult for the average listener to tell the difference. Not that it’s necessarily a bad thing at this moment in time. But then it might hinder its airplay. Like, if corporate radio won’t put two songs by any artist onto the Currents list at the same time, will … Read more
This is a wonderful song, deeply felt and most certainly will be spiritually soothing to most anyone going through such a tribulation. But I don’t think this is a radio record. Cancer is not a thing people want to talk about. And yes, a lot of people are superstitious about it, believing just talking about … Read more
