Billy Dean Race You To The Bottom
* * * * * - - - - -
Billy has been releasing some good stuff lately, but I found this one fairly poor in comparison!
Lucie Diamond & Arly Karlsen Always On My Mind
* * * * * * * * * *
Two great voices working so well together! A wonderful re-working of the Willie Nelson/Elvis Presley classic! Brilliant!!!!
Stu Stevens When I Dream
* * * * * * * * * -
This Crystal Gayle classic has been recorded by a few major names lately, Collin Raye doing the best version in my book! But Stu also does a very credible version of the song here, and should attract much airplay with it!!
Rachael Warwick One Last Look At Love
* * * * * * * * * *
Along with Lucie Diamond, Rachael represents the very best talent that British country music has produced for many a year! A great song and a wonderful voice!!!
Mike Lee First Class Fool
* * * * * - - - - -
Decent song, but it is let down by very average vocals!
Sean Patrick McGraw Fiona
* * * * * * * * * *
Sean totally blew me away with this lively, self penned, cajun/rocker!!! I wonder where the 'Nashville Star' judges were looking when they voted him off, in Nashville's country version of our own, 'Pop Idol'!!! Definitely major label material, as long as they don't turn him pop like they do with most of the other acts these days!! I'm sure we'll be hearing much more from this talented singer/songwriter in the future!!
Gene Watson I Catch Myself
* * * * * * * * * -
One of country music's finest voices, still sounding good, on a touching ballad that is sure to attract much airplay!!
Todd Fritsch Small Town Radio
* * * * * * * * - -
A worthy successor to his version of Eddy Raven's 'I Got Mexico'! Todd shows us that he can write a good country song too, with this Doug DeForest co-write.
Dan Wesley That's Good
* * * * * * * * * *
I've always liked this Tim Menzie song since first hearing it on CMT many years ago! Dan does a great job of reviving it!!!
David Broadley Flowers
* * * * * * - - - -
David has a good voice, and turns in a decent cover of this Billy Yates penned ballad! Although I am normally a big fan of the singer/songwriter and his music, I have to admit, this song has never really done anything for me!
Andy Martin More....
* * * * * * * * - -
Lively honky-tonker that is sure to fill the dancefloors! I couldn't keep my feet still. Nice one Andy!!
Gretchen Peters On A Bus To St Cloud
* * * * * * * * * *
Great songwriter!! Great song!! Always loved this one from Trisha Yearwood's excellent reading!
Junior Brown Highway Patrol
* * * * * * * * * *
Good to see this one re-released! Excellent!!
Michael Shane Borden & The Diesel Kings Truckstop Confession's
* * * * * * * * * *
Grunge/country, this one gets a bit too noisy for me!!
Keith Irwin You Better Do It Right
* * * * * * * - - -
Traditional country from the pen of Irish songwriter Chris McLernon. Keith Irwin is a new name to me, but I'm sure he won't be for very long!
Amarillo I Still Look Forward To The Next One
* * * * * - - - - -
A good, catchy song, but I'm afraid the American-ized vocals let it down.
Dave Vernon Everything I Need In A Woman
* * * * * * - - - -
Good, catchy toe-tapper!
Jodell Flying Colours
* * * * - - - - - -
Average pop song! Too much use of strings!
Gillie Heads I Win, Tail You Lose
* * * * * * * * - -
Good country/rocker that I challenge you to keep your feet still to!! Good, hard vocals, from a man I would suspect comes from more of a rock background!!
Nick Moran It Hurts Sometimes
* * * * * * - - - -
Above average two stepper that should go down well with the dancers!
Liz Talley A Stranger In My Arms
* * * * * - - - - -
Classic, Curtis Wayne co-write, but fairly average vocals!
Joe Simpson IOU
* * * * * - - - - -
I keep feeling that this trudger needs to be speeded up a bit!
Dick Shuey Shake 'em Up & Let 'em Roll
* * * * * * * * - -
One from the Dick Shuey archives! Great!!
Kerr Donnelly Band Cannock Calling
* * - - - - - - - -
Very poor!
