Have you ever heard the story of the Drowning Man?

Single Review: Zac Brown Band, “My Old Man”

February 6, 2017 Kevin John Coyne 10

This song is ridiculous.

Single Review: Bailey Bryan, “Own It”

“Own It” is what Kelsea Ballerini hath wrought.

February 2, 2017 Jonathan Keefe 0

A country artist covering Bob Seger? In this case, it’s better in theory than in execution.

Single Review: Old 97s feat. Brandi Carlile, “Good With God”

Bring on the hellfire and brimstone: Old 97s and Brandi Carlile are ready.

Single Review: Drake White, “Makin’ Me Look Good Again”

January 31, 2017 Jonathan Keefe 4

By all rights, “Makin’ Me Look Good Again” should be White’s star-making turn.

Carpenter sounds like a woman who is ready to strike a match.

Single Review: Rascal Flatts, “Yours If You Want It”

So many words. Too many words.

Single Review: The Band Perry, “Comeback Kid”

December 30, 2016 Ben Foster 7

It may be tempting to read a bit too far into the title of The Band Perry’s latest single “Comeback Kid” after the poor chart performance of “Live Forever” followed by their departure from Republic Nashville and near disappearance from the awards show circuit.
