Carrie Underwood leads an unusually small slate of 4th Quarter releases.  Typically the month of November is full of new releases for the holiday season but perhaps last month's star-packed treatment will suffice for 2009's holiday season.  Big Kenny and Jimmy Wayne release new albums as well.

October brings with it the latest releases from Tim McGraw, Rosanne Cash, Terri Clark, Toby Keith and Joe nichols.  The momth also sees the sophomore release from Luke Bryan and the release of Bomshel's debut album.  Sugarland begin's 2009's Christmas-themed releases with "Green And Gold" while Sony Legacy releases a 3 Disc Dolly Parton retrospective.

This month's releases include the sophomore album from Chris Young, Miranda Lambert's third album, Patty Loveless' "Mountain Soul II," Big & Rich's first "Greatest Hits" CD/DVD package and classic releases from Brooks & Dunn, Guy Clark, John Fogerty, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Kris Kristofferson.

Reba, George Strait, Sugarland and Willie Nelson lead a star-studded month of releases, which also includes debut releases from Gloriana, Love and Theft and David Nail along with comeback releases from Brady Seals, Mac McAnally and Steve Azar.
