Allison Moorer - Crows Review Sure must be nice to be Allison Moorer. As if the success of her Grammy-winning sister Shelby Lynne wasn’t enough, the Alabama native is also married to alt-country legend Steve Earle and has been nominated for an Academy Award for her contribution “A Soft Place to Fall,” which appeared on the [...] Luke Bryan Doin’ My Thing Review The question “What is country?” is eternal, and not just among nerdy music critics. Contemporary country is filled with songs about what it means to be country. Some are defensive, some inclusive, and some pander to their audience in an obvious attempt for sales. Luke Bryan’s answer to the question, [...] David Nail’s I’m About To Come Alive Review Missouri isn’t exactly a hotbed for soul music, or country music, for that matter. On this album, newcomer David Nail sounds as though he spent his life in the Mississippi Delta or singing in clubs on Beale Street. So it is fitting that the album start off with the [...] Bomshel – Fight Like a Girl - Album Review Wow, have I really been waiting three years for this? I’ve been watching Bomshel’s career since way back in 2006, when “It Was an Absolutely, Finger Lickin’, Grits and Chicken, Country Music Love Song” first hit the air.

Folk relies [...] Album Review: Eric Church – Carolina With three Top 20 singles to his name, Eric Church still managed to score a spot between The Lost Trailers and Kid Rock on a recent list of least favorite artists among country listeners. As one of the few from the neo-outlaw class of 2005-06 to have actually retained his [...] Billboard Album Review - Love and Theft - World Wide Open
“Love and Theft’s familiar sound is probably lost on the younger demographic the trio tends to attract, but that may play in the band’s favor when it comes to…” Continue Reading Billboard Album Review For: Love and Theft - World Wide Open

“At first glance, it might seem odd that Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy would choose this point in his band’s career to release a self-titled album..…” Continue Reading Billboard Album Review For: Wilco - Wilco (The Album)
