Review: Flynnville Train, “Last Good Time”

February 8, 2007 Kevin John Coyne 5

Flynnville Train, “Last Good Time” This is country music in a post-Big & Rich world, I suppose. But, much like the Shania wannabes faltered without her trademark wit and production magic, this record just lays

Review: Ty Herndon, “Right About Now”

February 3, 2007 Kevin John Coyne 0

Ty Herndon, “Right About Now” This works as a thematic successor to his debut hit, “What Mattered Most.” Not quite sure why he felt the need to go so high at parts, but it’s a

Sarah Buxton, "That Kind of Day"

February 3, 2007 Kevin John Coyne 31

Sarah Buxton, “That Kind of Day” Great song, wrong delivery. levitra online us pharmacy There’s way too much going on and Buxton sounds winded trying to keep up. It doesn’t help that she’s trying to

Kellie Pickler, “I Wonder”

February 3, 2007 Kevin John Coyne 9

Kellie Pickler, “I Wonder” This is very heartfelt and sincere. Pickler speaks rhetorically to the mother who didn’t stick around to raise her. Her performance is perfectly delivered, with subtlety and understatement. The production overwhelms

Jason Aldean, “Johnny Cash”

Jason Aldean, “Johnny Cash” You’re setting yourself up for criticism when you name drop one of music’s biggest historical icons in a song title, and it’s gratuitious to boot. The line in the chorus is

Montgomery Gentry, “Lucky Man” The vocal sounds worn down at times, but it works well given the song’s message. One of their better singles, “Lucky Man” is a timely reminder of what it means to

January 25, 2007 Kevin John Coyne 4

Luke Bryan, “All My Friends Say” This is what I’m talking about when I write that you need a memorable song to launch a new artist. Who hasn’t drank way too much and had to

Lonestar, “Nothing to Prove”

January 25, 2007 Kevin John Coyne 2

Lonestar, “Nothing to Prove” Lonestar is starting to remind me of Restless Heart. When at their peak, they sounded great on the radio and racked up the hits. They haven’t changed their sound much, and

Review: Cole Deggs & The Lonesome, “I Got More”

January 20, 2007 Kevin John Coyne 20

Cole Deggs & The Lonesome, “I Got More” Ever since I started doing single reviews on this site, I’ve been amazed how much the songs sent to radio blend together. The guitar hook on this

Review: Rascal Flatts, “Stand”

January 19, 2007 Kevin John Coyne 13

Rascal Flatts, “Stand” Take the most generic girl-power Jo Dee Messina anthem – not a good one, like “Bring On the Rain”, but one of those interchangable ones like “Not Goin’ Down” or “That’s the
