Review: Chris Young, “Voices”

May 25, 2008 Kevin John Coyne 13

A fittingly respectful and appreciative look back at the positive role models that have shaped his life. I’m not crazy about the conceit of the chorus, “I hear voices all the time”, which plays off

Ashley Gearing, “Out the Window”

May 25, 2008 Kevin John Coyne 1

Gearing had a chart hit way back in 2003, and is a contender again this year now that she’s resurfaced on Curb Records. “Out the Window” is one of those “young girl throws caution to

Kellie Pickler, “Don’t You Know You’re Beautiful”

May 24, 2008 Kevin John Coyne 15

Pickler debuted this single on last week’s ACM awards to a great response, and no wonder. She was saddled with quite a bit of disposable material on her debut album, but “Don’t You Know You’re

Sugarland, “All I Want To Do”

May 24, 2008 Kevin John Coyne 14

Sugarland is back with the lead single from Love On the Inside, which they debuted on the ACM awards earlier this week. It’s a laid back song with Nettles not pushing the twang as much

Eddy Arnold, “To Life”

May 13, 2008 Kevin John Coyne 7

Taylor Swift, “Should’ve Said No”

May 13, 2008 Kevin John Coyne 13

This is very well-written. It’s to Swift’s credit that this song that she penned herself could be credibly sung by a woman twice her age but is still relevant to the female teen demographic that

Marcel, “I Love This Song”

May 13, 2008 Kevin John Coyne 12

Full disclosure: I’m a big Marcel fan. I say this because it’s pretty hard to make an clear, rational case for his music in a review. I just like it. It makes me smile. It

Ashton Shepherd, “Sounds So Good”

May 11, 2008 Leeann Ward 9

When I first heard the opening notes of Ashton Shepherd’s debut single, “Takin’ Off This Pain”, I was taken aback by the sharp and twangy voice that I was hearing. Her unique voice combined with

Overall, Chris Cagle’s latest single, “No Love Songs”, is a fun song that has an amusing chorus. Moreover, Cagle seems as though he is enjoying himself. It cannot, however, be overlooked that this song has

Jason Aldean, “Relentless”

May 1, 2008 Leeann Ward 3

Jason Aldean follows up “Laughed Until We Cried” with the mid-tempo title track from his latest album, Relentless. What I can surmise from the somewhat murky lyrics is that the man in this song is
