New Music!

This week, not only are several new songs being released to radio, there are also several new music videos premiering on CMT.

Let's start with the videos premiering in the coming weeks. Carrie Underwood's video for Cowboy Casanova is the one that most are talking about. Based on her previous videos there is a good chance it will be directed by Roman White and lack any creativity and originality.

Other videos premiering are Reba's Consider Me Gone, Sugarland's Keep You, Keith Urban's Hit The Ground Running, Kenny Chesney's I'm Alive, Miranda Lambert's White Liar, Billy Currington's That's How Country Boys Roll and Tim McGraw's Southern Voice. Keep in mind we have not seen the videos and these are our opinions, but since Kenny Chesney announced that he is taking a break from touring we wouldn't be surprised if it's another live video. As long as he sticks with Shaun Silva the video should be excellent regardless.

Make sure to tune into CMT and check out all of these videos. And don't forget to go to CMT.com for the newest video from Lady Antebellum. Need You Now is one of Lady A's best.

Now on to singles being released to radio this week. If you need a reason to change the station listen for Bomshel's 19 and Crazy, Heartland's Mustache and Mica Robert's Days You Live For. However, if your ears aren't, let's say, as sensitive to bad music as ours, then you can just easily drown out the previously mentioned songs.

If you're looking for another emotional song from Rascal Flatts then listen out for their latest Why. While it's not the worst song ever, in fact it's one of the better ones on their latest CD Unstoppable, it's just the type of song that has become Rascal Flatts' staple. They used to have upbeat songs that had more to it than "Summer nights everybody are you with me" but those are now few and far between.


But don't lose hope just yet. There are a few great new cuts being released. Among those are Jason Aldean's The Truth and Jimmy Wayne's remake of the 1976 Hall & Oates' hit Sara Smile. Jimmy's cover also features Hall & Oates on background vocals. We will be very surprised if this isn't a hit forhim. Also, Sara Smile is the first single off of Wayne's upcoming album, which is set to be released on November 24th.

An Open Letter to Lee Brice Fans

To All Lee Brice Fans:

Over the last couple of years we have anxiously awaited the released of Lee's debut album, Picture of Me. It has been delayed and pushed back (now indefinitely, according to the Curb Records web site) numerous times. Lee has been touring regularly for an album it seems we will never see.

If Jimmy Wayne fans can band together to create a "Jimmy Wayne Day" to promote his music, then why can't we band together and show our support for Lee Brice? Why don't we have a "Lee Brice Day" or week or month or whatever and start getting his music played? Lee Brice is an undeniable talent.

Supposedly, there is going to be a new single, but when? Supposedly, if a single can break the top 20 then we might get the CD.

We're ready for new Lee Brice music, we're ready for the CD, we're ready to hear Lee Brice on the radio. How about you?

Consider this a call to action. Please leave comments letting us know what you think and if you're willing to join the cause. Let's take it one step at a time, so with enough support we will come back and post ways to help.

And The Winner Is...

We asked you what your favorite new song was and Jimmy Wayne fans showed their support once again. I'll Be That got an astounding 90% of the votes. Hopefully I'll Be That will be another number one for Jimmy.

At Radio Today

There are some great songs releasing to radio today. First, Big Green Tractor by Jason Aldean. At a recent show, Aldean claimed it's "Kind of a love song". He also thinks that “there’s something kinda romantic about a little tractor ride at midnight.” We agree but have a listen here and decide for yourselves.

Another song impacting today is I'll be That, the third single from Jimmy Wayne's sophomore album, "Do You Believe Me Now".

Watch this video to listen to the song and hear what fans are saying. And don't forget that Jimmy Wayne fans have declared the first Friday of every month Jimmy Wayne Day. On Jimmy Wayne Day, fans will request I'll Be That on as many radio stations as possible. The next "Jimmy Wayne Day" is June 5th, the first day of the "American Saturday Night" tour, where Jimmy opens up for Dierks Bentley and Brad Paisley.

Also, at radio today is the second single, 15 Minutes from Rodney Atkins CD "It's America" and Indian Summer from Brooks & Dunn.
