This week’s batch of singles are pretty strong. There are a lot of new artists who show potential; hopefully, we’ll get to hear more from them. Pick of the Week: Amber Dotson.
TRICK PONY “It’s A Heartache” (Warner Bros.)<
/strong> BOBBY PINSON “Don’t Ask Me How I Know” (RCA) BRIAN McCOMAS “The Middle Of Nowhere” (Lyric Street) AARON LINES “Waitin’ On The Wonderful” (BNA) AMBER DOTSON “I’ll Try Anything” (Capitol) DEANA CARTER “One Day At A Time” (Vanguard) CHARLIE ROBISON “El Cerrito Place” (DualTone) DIAMOND RIO “One Believer” (Arista) JON RANDALL “Baby Won’t You Come Home” (Epic) DARRYL WORLEY “If Something Should Happen” (DreamWorks)
Their cover of the Bonnie Tyler classic has a raw urgency that rivals the original. I don’t know if a cover song is the way to get this act back on the radio, but this is still one of the strongest singles of their career.
This is pretty good. I like his voice.
Up-tempo and fun. I remain a fan.
I assumed this was going to be another wimpy love song. Instead, this guy actually shows a pulse. This is enough to make you forget he sang “You Can’t Hide Beautiful.”
She’s got a voice reminiscent of Lacy J. Dalton, and that’s not a bad thing at all. Nice to hear a woman who sounds like she’s done some living. The song itself is thematically similar to the Pam Tillis track “Hurt Myself”. I want to hear more.
There are better songs on her new album. Still, it’s nice to hear that voice again.
Beautiful, romantic and longing. He’s the real deal.
I simply don’t like excessive harmonies. I’d like to be able to hear Marty Roe.
He’s one of the best harmony singers in the business. Personally, I don’t think he cuts it as the lead.
It got to me by the bridge. What a sucker punch!
