Jeff Bates is the master and his new single promises much from his next album!

Jeff Bates : Don't Hate Me For Lovin' You

Jeff Bates is one of Country's consistently good performers, and his next album should be superb if this lead-off single is any guide.

Bates has a new label and he's teamed up with Jimmy Nichols to produce the new album which, I'm told, should hit the shelves in March.

This is a high speed rockin' Country song laden with deftly mixed fiddles, tight lead guitar work and superb harmonies.

And Bates' vocals are as good as they have ever been. It's time this guy got the recognition his music deserves.

My View: Brilliant, but that's exactly what we'd expect!"
