“The Night Before Christmas” is a beautiful song that leaves us wishing for a Brandon Heath Christmas album- perhaps maybe next year. I absolutely love original Christmas songs. “Silent Night,” “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,” “Jingle Bell Rock,” etc. are all great and wonderful, but tend to get old. That’s why I like original songs [...]
Right now, country music newcomer David Nail is riding on the success of his breakthrough single, “Red Light,” which is one of the most-played songs on radio right now. The song is #54 on Billboard’s Hot 100 (which includes all genres), and according to the magazine, is one of this week’s songs to gain [...]

After various updates and pushings back of release dates, Decyfer Down’s sophomore album, Crash, is finally here- and so is the review. The album was released on May 5, but I’m just now getting the chance to review it. I’ve actually only had the album for about a week because I’m pretty limited on music [...]
The Newsboys as we know them have gone through several big changes in recent years personnelwise- the departure of Jody Davis in 2003 and Phil Joel in 2006; the short-lived addition of Paul Colman in 2006 (Colman left early this year); the return of Davis to replace Colman. However, the band’s newest record, In the [...]

Since the standard for describing the styles and vocals of new artists seems to be comparing them with an established one, I’ll give it a try. Think David Cook or Daughtry meets U2, with maybe a little Matchbox Twenty thrown in. In songs like “Last Train Home,” former Stage frontman Ryan Star’s sound has David [...]
Keith Urban is doing something that as far as I know has never been done on iTunes. His new album, Defying Gravity, releases on March 31, and Urban is releasing one new song from the CD each week until the release of the album-which you can pre-order on iTunes- and so that you’re not paying [...]
Several country stars are putting out new albums in the remainder of March and in April, and Decyfer Down and Mat Kearney (finally) are putting out a new one later on, as well as newcomer Ryan Star (you can expect more from ATWU on Ryan in the very near future). Read on to see the [...]
Pat Green is here with his first release on his new record label, BNA. What I’m For hit store shelves a few weeks ago, and is the follow-up to Cannonball and Wave on Wave, the album that was Green’s breakthrough. I’d consider myself to be a casual Pat Green fan, and What I’m For is [...]
