David Nail, I’m About to Come Alive

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 [...]

NextUp: Jessie James

Since this is a Christian-based blog, I’d like to caution you by letting you know that the article’s subject, singer Jessie James, does not produce Christian music and therefore some of her songs contain some suggestive content and that this article discusses James’s career and her music from a professional critical standpoint, not a Christian [...]

Keith Urban Breaks Ground With iTunes, Christian Rock

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 [...]

Pat Green, What I’m For

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 [...]

Dierks Bentley, Feel That Fire

Long Trip Alone is by far one of the best albums I own. The 2006 release from Dierks Bentley that produced the smash hits “Every Mile a Memory,” “Free and Easy (Down the Road I Go),” “Long Trip Alone,” and “Trying to Stop Your Leaving,” along with two other personal favorites, “Can’t Live it Down” [...]

Blake Shelton, Startin’ Fires

There are very few artists that have the kind of voice you can just sit back and enjoy no matter what they’re singing about- artists such as Tim McGraw, George Strait, or Third Day’s Mac Powell. The number of catchy hit songs produced from Blake Shelton in such a short time, whether it be the [...]

Craig Morgan, That’s Why

With hit songs such as ”That’s What I Love About Sunday,” “I Got You,” and “Redneck Yacht Club” from his 2005 breakthrough release “My Kind of Livin’,” I became a Craig Morgan fan. I purchased the CD as well as his next effort, “Little Bit of Life,” which fared decently on country radio, producing singles “Tough,” “Little [...]

First Look: Various Artists, The Imus Ranch Record

Wow, did this one ever sneak in under the radar. Released over a week ago on September 16, The Imus Ranch Record currently sits on Amazon.com’s Bestsellers list at #3. I haven’t actually bought it, and probably won’t, but I have every intention of at least listening to the preview clips when I get home. [...]

Chuck Wicks, Starting Now

Read on for our first official post- a review of Starting Now by Chuck Wicks.
I know that All The Way Up is based around Christian music so its first review should be some sort of Christian title, but Starting Now has been in my stereo ever since I bought it two or three weeks ago [...]
