Zac Brown Band : Chicken Fried
[May 20, 2008] Amazing: a new release that's actually true Country music. By John D. Lewis

Eric Durrance : Angels Fly Away
[May 20, 2008] I have no doubt that many will find succour and comfort in this song. But I'd bet they won't be numerous enough to give it any chance in the charts! By John D. Lewis

Carter's Chord : Different Breed
[May 10, 2008] This doesn't even bear a passing resemblance to Country music. It's pop music at it's very best. By John D. Lewis

Fisher Stevenson : No Tomorrow Here Tonight
[May 10, 2008] Appalling! By John D. Lewis

Todd O'Neill - Can I Come Over Tonight
[May 5, 2008] This is gentle, old style Country music, full of misery and cliches and a familiar melody. By John D. Lewis

Becky Schlegel : Bound For Tennessee
[Apr. 25, 2008] Lyrics about leaving a depressingly small town, beautiful vocals sometimes reminiscent of Alison Krauss, piano rolling in the background, pedal steel edging in and out of the mix - SUPERB! By John Lewis

Shawna Russell - Goddess
[Apr. 20, 2008] I've heard many songs that "sound like" one another, but I played this alongside Stevie Nicks' "Dreams" (Fleetwood Mac) and I'd say this might be too close for comfort so far as Nicks' is concerned. By John Lewis

Ashley Gearing : Out The Window
[Apr. 20, 2008] About a young girl who leaves home, hits the interstate with her man and they cruise off to make babies in the sunset. By John Lewis

Adam Gregory : Crazy Days
[Apr. 13, 2008] Just another production line Nashville song which is, well, BORING! By John Lewis

Will Hoge : Washed By The Water
[Apr. 13, 2008] Will Hoge should have a huge hit on his hands with "Washed By The Water". This is music to change the world! By John Lewis

James Le Blanc : I'm Here
[Apr. 13, 2008] James Le Blanc has written hits for some of the big hitters in Country music including Travis Tritt and Gary Allan. By John Lewis

Is David Nail Country's most miserable singer?
[Apr. 3, 2008] David Nail has a very nasal voice and by the end, I wished he'd quit whining and get on with his life. By John Lewis

Wild Horses : Surrounded
[Mar. 28, 2008] What's truly worrying is that loads of "Country" radio DJs love this one, and it COULD make the charts. By John Lewis

Casey Berry & The Live Texas Mosquitoes : VINTAGE
[Mar. 28, 2008] In Texas, in Bakersfield, and - perhaps - in some darkened bars in Nashville, real Country music lives. Casey Berry and The Live Texas Mosquitoes are proof! By John Lewis

Listen to Scout Finch's music: she's a star in the making!
[Mar. 16, 2008] When this girl makes it big, I'll be standing at the back shouting: "I TOLD YOU SO!" And she WILL make it big! By John Lewis
