Here's one of Jack Ingram's Top 20 hits, "Love You."

Casey Rivers first came to national attention as a contestant on the third season of Nashville Star.  While he didn't win the show, Rivers kept working towards his career and now has self-released his eponymous debut.  In the past a self-released album usually meant a lesser-quality.  Does the same cliche hold true today?

"She Never Cried In Front Of Me," Toby Keith's first single from "That Don't Make Me A Bad Guy," recently hit #1; just as the album is about to drop. Toby's back at radio and video outlets with his second single from the album in the form of the uptempo rocker "God Love Her."

Here's Ray Scott's latest single.

The Grascals, now on their third release, have taken the country music world by storm with their previous two studio efforts, winning boatloads of accolades from their peers and the bluegrass music industry.  With a slight change in band members, fiddler Jimmy Mattingly has decided to be Dolly's sideman instead, will The Grascals "Keep On Walkin'" successfuly or fall on their feet?

On the cusp of a #1 song with his debut country single "Don't Think I Don't Think About It," Darius Rucker, better known as the singer of some band named "Hootie," has certainly made an impression with county music fans.  "Learn To Live" is full of interesting melodies but are the melodies and Darius' distinct vocals enough to make the album a smashing success?

Here's a live, acoustic performance of a couple songs from Darius Rucker's new album "Learn to Live."

Country music often speaks to the human condtion and that's exactly what Crystal Shawanda's RCA Records debut does.  Not only that, "Dawn of A New Day" announces the arrival of an artist worthy of any accolades she may receive. Yup, it's that good.

Danni Leigh's put out 4 records on 4 labels but every record has been very good. Here's one of from her latest album steeped in honky new tonk standards.

Albums featuring nothing but traditional country music seem to be nonexistant nowadays but that doesn't mean you can't find them if you look hard enough. Spring Branch, Texas' Jeff Griffith is a strong vocalist who has taken a step out of the honky tonks and into the spotlight with his debut album "If It Ain't One Thing, It's Another."
