Uncle Kracker

This week Chuck takes a look at new singles from Kix Brooks, Blackberry Smoke, Craig Wayne Boyd, Branch & Dean, Jared Blake, Uncle Kracker, Ray Scott, Chris Stapleton, Joe Bachman and Kelly Clarkson. Each song gets Chuck's quick-hit analysis -- good or bad. 

Uncle Kracker's Midnight Special kind of snuck up on us with both it's late in 2012 release and also with the quality of marterial that is on this Keith Stegall-produced album, an album fans of Zac Brown Band will likely find to their liking. Read on to see what we have to say about the record here.

Uncle Kracker surprised many by making his single "Smile" a platinum-selling, multi-format smash hit that gave the singer his second Top 10 country hit.  Will this duet with Kid Rock give him his third and second consecutive hit?

About six years ago Uncle Kracker was a part of a hit single with Kenny Chesney.  He released an album of mellow 70s-inspired rock but it failed to garner any interest yet he's back now with this single and has a Top 40 country hit. But should it be a country chart hit?
