Damn, Craig…you’ve become a consumable product like fine wine and cheese……getting better On his debut single with Curb Records Jerrod offers sage advice and better as time goes by. Talk about going into the studio and about the real priorities of life in a fun, irresistible island-inspired giving it all you’ve got and THEN some. And what woman (or song. He rapsodizes about our working too much and playing too man for that fact) isn’t going to love what you’ve got to say in this little. How’s that working for you, Bunky? You “wanna be happy song….that the person who loves you has your proverbial back…. for the rest of your life…make a little more love and make a little they are going to ‘make the world go away’ when they get home to less money”. You won’t miss it but ‘you’ll miss the time you didn’t you. Well to that I say, the door is open….come on home….we’ll take”. And did I mention that he and Lee Brice harmonize like rum open that bottle of fine Craig Morgan wine. and coke; like tequila and lime; like a hangover and a bloody mary? Oh yea, mon. Darryl Worley – “Rainmaker” Dierks Bentley (featuring Elle King) – “Different for Girls” Last February when Cyclone Winston stormed the island nation of Fiji, country star Darryl Worley and his wife Kimberly were on Dierks’ last single for Capitol Records Nashville explored how a the island to perform at “Tunes in the Tropics.” “This storm has guy got over a break up. In that case it involved drinking all day changed the island nation of Fiji forever... it also changed our lives and partying all night long somewhere on a beach with his new forever,” says Worley. He wrote and recorded “Rainmaker” after girl whose ‘got it going on’. His new single, “Different For Girls”, surviving the storm. With an infectious melody, “Rainmaker” thoughtfully delves into the differences between the sexes when it compares the love for the beautiful island of Fiji to the desire and comes to handling lost love. It occurred to me while listening to love for a beautiful woman. With funds generated from the single the song that, funny enough, the one common thread is girls….men downloads, Worley will make donations to the Cyclone Winston need new ones to get over the old ones and women need their girls relief fund. It’s on Worleybird Records - download it from iTunes to rally round and help get them over the heartbreak hump. It’s and Amazon.com, play it, enjoy it and help Fiji recover. “different for girls, nobody said it was fair’. Right on, Dierks.

Dyonna Ponder- “Call Me Sassafras” Gary Allan – “Do You Wish It Was Me” Kiss my sassy frassy – this is a sassy cup o’ tea. On her first single Gary co-wrote his new EMI Records Nashville single with the with CMM Records Nashville, Dyonna embodies the true country appropriately named Jonathan Singleton and Andrew Dorff. It’s girl’s free spirited, rebellious attitude with a “hand on the hip” about a man yearning to be part of his girl’s world again and sassiness. Pour yourself a tall glass of something cold and kick wondering if she thinks of him as she goes through everyday life. back with your sassafras. Although this sexy, driving song is that classic Gary Allan sound, the subject matter brought to mind the beautiful Keith Whitley classic “Don’t Close Your Eyes” which, of course, I had to stop and Scott Brantley - “How Summer Goes” listen to as well. Gary, any girl would be crazy not to heed your In his latest offering from Studio Gold Nashville, Scott’s single pleas…rock on you sexy thing. craftily describes a summer romance by using comparisons of all things summer… piers, bare feet, silver moons in the heat of The Last Bandoleros – “Where Do You Go” June, kites on the shore. With the opening line you are taken back to a simpler time, recalling a summer love that ended too soon. WOW! “Where Do You Go” when Tex Mex meets Brit Pop and “Ain’t it funny how 90 days can hit you like a tidal wave when Country Rock? You jump on board The Last Bandoleros train you’re standing there knowing that it’s gotta end.” What doesn’t because along for the ride are musical influences as varied as Flaco, have to end is enjoying this tune over and over again.

This first single from the new Warner Music Nashville group will make you have more fun than a barrel of monkeys with a stack of Jessie Chris – “In The Meantime” bananas. Word has it the group is touring with The Mavericks this We all face adversity. It’s part of the human experience – the summer and this, my friend, will be an evening – and a new band - part that is supposed to make us stronger. Jessie was the victim not to miss. of extreme bullying & music was her way of coping with life’s experiences.

Pat might agree if he can future. Her favorite quote: “dreams come a size too big so we can ‘just get through “Day One”. As we all do at some point in life, Pat grow into them”.

While listening to it I found myself with my town gypsy myself. I’ll bring my squeeze box. eyes closed and body swaying to the beautifully produced track while letting Cody’s incredible vocal delivery transport me to a happy place where all music is this good (and, of course, where Ben Cesare – “Radio Love Song” true love is attainable for us all). Music, flowers, diamonds – all great ways to beg forgiveness. In “Radio Love Song” on Ben Cesare Entertainment, Ben meaningfully and urgently pleads for mercy from his girl with this melodic tune. Turn it up and take a listen and you’ll surely fall in love. Let’s hope his girl feels the same.
