Single Review: LeAnn Rimes, “How to Kiss a Boy”

October 28, 2016 Kevin John Coyne 6

This song is absolutely gorgeous, and so is LeAnn Rimes’ tender and vulnerable reading of it.

Single Review: Little Big Town, “Better Man”

October 27, 2016 Kevin John Coyne 14

A painfully honest exploration of the feelings created by a necessary breakup, “Better Man” is one of the best – and most original – singles of the year.

Single Review: Tami Neilson, “Holy Moses”

October 26, 2016 Jonathan Keefe 2

Neilson’s the proverbial unstoppable force, and the immovable object of heartbreak would do well just to get out of her way.

Single Review: Lauren Alaina, “Road Less Traveled”

October 25, 2016 Jonathan Keefe 4

The great irony of Lauren Alaina’s “Road Less Traveled” is that the song’s lyrics rely entirely on clichéd images and turns-of-phrase while attempting to empower individuality and personal expression.

Single Review: Margo Price, “Four Years of Chances”

October 24, 2016 Jonathan Keefe 4

What makes the song a should-be classic is Price’s performance, which is a masterful bit of interpretive singing.

Single Review: Tucker Beathard, “Momma and Jesus”

October 21, 2016 Kevin John Coyne 8

I’m beginning to suspect that enjoyment of contemporary country music requires a complete lack of familiarity with what came before it.

Single Review: Kelsea Ballerini, “Yeah Boy”

October 20, 2016 Kevin John Coyne 8

Nah, girl.

Single Review: Old Dominion, “Song for Another Time”

October 19, 2016 Kevin John Coyne 7

This is a song about too many songs.

Single Review: Brandy Clark, “Love Can Go to Hell”

October 18, 2016 Kevin John Coyne 6

Country radio could cure most of its ails through two simple steps: adding more songs written by Brandy Clark into heavy rotation, and adding Brandy Clark herself into heavy rotation.

Single Review: Blake Shelton, “A Guy With a Girl”

October 17, 2016 Kevin John Coyne 2

To his credit, you can always count on Blake Shelton to make competent music that is professionally done.
