Casey James, ‘Casey James’ – Album Review

Casey James was apparently patient while putting together his debut album after wrapping up the ninth season of 'American Idol' back in in 2010. The third-place finisher says he wouldn't trade his spot for first place on the hit show, because he was able to fly under the radar until he was ready.

Luke Bryan's new EP 'Spring Break 4 ... Suntan City' is like a good speed boat. Owning one is pretty cool, but borrowing your buddy's whenever you need it is even better.

Neal McCoy, ‘XII’ – Album Review

Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert lend a hand in co-producing 'XII,' Neal McCoy's first album in almost seven years. The superstar country couple's fingerprints cover almost every track. At times, it even sounds like Shelton singing.

Craig Morgan, ‘This Ole Boy’ – Album Review

Craig Morgan's discography includes songs as wild and redneck as 'Bonfire' and 'International Harvester,' and as sobering as 'Almost Home' and 'Tough.' On his new album 'This Ole Boy,' the singer never reaches those extremes, turning in his most centered project to date.

Kellie Pickler, ’100 Proof’ – Album Review

Kellie Pickler's new direction is a good fit, but much like a great pair of blue jeans it will take a few wears before the singer seems totally comfortable. '100 Proof' is an album she should (and is) proud of, but almost more exciting is how this underestimated singer will slink into the traditional country genre on the next album and the one after that, and the one after that.

Martina McBride, ‘Hits and More’ – Album Review

The new Martina McBride greatest hits package takes listeners on a chronological audio tour of the singer's career.

The Little Willies, ‘For the Good Times’ – Album Review

The fun that the Little Willies are having is almost palpable on 'For the Good Times,' a collection of cover songs by five well-respected musicians and friends, including jazz great Norah Jones. Country fans not familiar with Jones will realize she's a more-than-capable substitute for Dolly Parton, with a wispy style that resonates like a great first kiss.
