Danny Gokey - "It's Only"

Danny Gokey scored with American Idol audiences with his tender yet gravelly voice.  Now signed to a country deal with 19/RCA Nashville, Danny is set to release this song, produced by Mark Bright, to country radio.  Will Danny Gokey become the latest Idol country star?

 

The Band Perry - "Hip To My Heart"

It's no secret that modern country music has taken a turn towards pop-leaning sounds of past decades.  This new Republic Nashville trio has that pop-leaning sound but they do it with an organic, fresh flair that is highlighted with this debut single.

Josh Thompson - "Beer On The Table"

Sony Music Nashville's latest artist signed to their Columbia Nashville imprint is singer/songwriter Josh Thompson.  Will his single help the label break a Columbia Nashville act into the Top 40 after a little bit of a dry spell?  Find out what we think here.

Reba - "Consider Me Gone"

With "Strange" landing near the Top 10, Reba McEntire certainly has reintroduced herself to fans and radio alike.  What does this song, her follow-up, hold for her?  Will it become an even bigger hit for the superstar or will it fall flat? Should the song even get any attention?

Sara Evans - "Feels Just Like A Love Song"

Sara Evans certainly has lived a gossip-filled past couple of years.  As her hits seemingly brushed the Top 10 or failed to even go Top 20, she had a public divorce and, then, a public marriage.  This song chronicles the latter but is it enough to return her to the top of the charts?

Jamey Johnson - "High Cost Of Living"

Jamey Johnson became a critical darling when he released his self-produced album "That Lonesome Song." While radio embraced "In Color," It is going to be a tough road to complete acceptance at radio as songs like this one are so different than what radio likes.

Oak Ridge Boys - Seven Nation Army

Here's an interesting new single from the legendary vocal quartet.  Did the Oak Ridge Boys choose wisely in choosing to rework a rock song into a song that would fit their harmonic vocal style? While radio will likely still ignore the single should new fans still take a listen?

Jeff Griffith - "Dip Me In Beer"

Warning!  Within the first 10 seconds of listening to Jeff Griffith’s latest single “Dip Me In Beer,” you are highly likely to have a smile come across your face. If you're looking for something to spin at your backyard BBQ parties, this may just be your song.  But will it be a hit?

Kellie Picker (W/Taylor Swift) - The Best Days Of Your Life

The second single of her self-titled sophomore record features Kellie's buddy Taylor Swift.  That alone will give the song a boost at radio.  That boost, however, isn't the only thing going for Kellie here as this song looks, sounds and feels like her big break-out hit. Or does it?

Williams Riley - "I'm Still Me"

Choosing to tell a story that's not often heard on modern country radio, Williams Riley manages to leave an impression on the listener with a finely-crafted single from their self-titled debut album.  While it's a great song, will radio warm up to it?
