Single Review: Rascal Flatts, “I Like the Sound of That”

November 18, 2015 Kevin John Coyne 4

A solid chorus and a pleasantly twangy arrangement make the new Rascal Flatts single listenable.

Single Review: Sam Hunt, “Break Up in a Small Town”

November 18, 2015 Kevin John Coyne 8

I just don’t get Sam Hunt.

Single Review: Jason Aldean, “Gonna Know We Were Here”

November 18, 2015 Kevin John Coyne 4

Trite, pointless radio filler that doesn’t bother to make an attempt at originality or substance.

Single Review: Keith Urban, “Break on Me”

November 10, 2015 Kevin John Coyne 4

I feel like I’ve heard this a million times before, and that the thrill of discovery that used to be an integral part of hearing new Keith Urban music is well behind us now.

Single Review: Eric Church, “Mr. Misunderstood”

November 8, 2015 Kevin John Coyne 10

Not sure if he’s misunderstood so much as underappreciated, but that’s beside the point, isn’t?

Single Review: Tim McGraw, “Damn Country Music”

October 21, 2015 Kevin John Coyne 4

“Damn Country Music” comes damn close to being a damn good song about chasing the country music dream.

Single Review: Toby Keith, “Beautiful Stranger”

October 20, 2015 Kevin John Coyne 4

A haunting, evocative album closer that I can’t believe is being sent to radio, “Beautiful Stranger” showcases Toby Keith’s often overlooked talents as a vocalist and as a songwriter.

Single Review: Chris Stapleton, “Fire Away”

October 19, 2015 Larry Rogowin 2

The songs of Chris Stapleton have become chart-toppers for some of country music’s most prolific artists. He’s also crafted the kind of album cuts that stop you in your tracks and resonate immediately.

Single Review: Toby Keith, “Rum is the Reason”

September 24, 2015 Kevin John Coyne 4

I can’t figure out why Toby Keith can’t get any mileage off of the singles from his new album. It’s not even out yet, and this is the third release.

Single Review: George Strait, “Cold Beer Conversation”

September 24, 2015 Kevin John Coyne 1

After the comparatively euphoric “Let it Go,” George Strait’s new single captures the same “take it as it comes” attitude toward life, but this time with somber resignation as the dominant feeling.
