DISClaimer Single Reviews (7/21/10)
/by Robert K OermannWith temperatures on Music Row soaring into the upper 90s this week, I’m taking every opportunity to stay here at my desk. Including penning today’s roundup of new country sounds.
DISClaimer Single Reviews (7/14/10)
/by Robert K OermannIt’s Duo Day! All three of our top contenders this week are teams of two. If your taste runs to authentic, nostalgic country music I urge you to seek out Keeping Up Appearances by Texas-based label-mates Amber Digby and Justin Trevino. It does my heart good to hear that somebody is still making music this pure and fine.
DISClaimer Reviews (7/7/10)
/by Robert K OermannRockie Lynne, Cory Walker and Jadi Norris all want you to stop whatever you’re doing and salute our armed services. Alas, only Rockie’s song is a fitting and listenable soldier tribute.
DISClaimer Single Reviews (6/30/10)
/by Robert K OermannI don’t really have a Song of the Day category, but maybe I should. Dave Gibson’s “King Me,” Donna Beasley’s “Under the Rushes” and Flynnville Train’s “Preachin’ to the Choir” are all excellent examples of song craftsmanship.
DISClaimer Single Reviews (6/24/10)
/by Robert K OermannI just love discovering new music, don’t you? For me, it’s a very, very good week when there are four solid contenders for a DisCovery Award.
DISClaimer Single Reviews (6/16/10)
/by Robert K OermannLady Antebellum, Chris Young and Miranda Lambert are all coming off of chart-topping singles. And all three have their follow-ups ready to go this week. All three hit home runs.
DISClaimer Single Reviews (6/9/10)
/by Robert K OermannAt first, I was certain that Eric Church was going to coast off with yet another Disc of the Day award. Then I heard Danny Gokey hit that climactic tenor note at the finale of his stunning ballad and decided that, no, THIS was the performance du jour. Next, the Randy Rogers Band came galloping in with an uptempo tune and snatched the prize away from Danny. Then, at the very end of the listening session, Steel Magnolia came up to the plate.
DISClaimer Reviews (6/02/10)
/by Robert K OermannThere is some solid stuff in this stack of platters. Richie Fields, Sunny Sweeney and Kim Parent are all back, singing as superbly as ever. Newcomers Dianna Paul and Sherry Lynn prove that they are ready to run with the big dogs. From the folkier side of things are delightful discs by Ellis Paul and TV star Robert David Hall.
DISClaimer Reviews (5/26/10)
/by Robert K OermannThere is plenty of activity on the Row this week. Legal Aid reached out to the music community with a get-to-know-us breakfast at Sunset Grill yesterday. It was a real who’s-who gathering.
