Top 100 Country Songs of All Time

Country America” magazine published a list of the “Top 100 Country Songs of
All Time” in the October 1992 issue. The list was generated by asking the readers for their favorite songs, and then merging these lists with lists from a group of “country music critics”. They only counted songs that appeared on *BOTH* top-100 lists, taking the average of the two.

I had some free time, so I figured, what the hell, I’ll type in all 100 song Continue reading

Find out next Wednesday on Country Music News, the new single of Rascal Flatts!

Entitled “Here Comes Goodbye”, it will be the first single from their forthcoming album Unstoppable, which will be released on 7 April 2009.

Appointment Wednesday!

Rascal Flatts – Here Comes Goodbye

I had promised the following: the brand new single of Rascal Flatts “Here Comes Goodbye”!

You can listen in full above!

Do not hesitate to say in comments what you think of this title.

This single is the first single from their forthcoming album Unstoppable which will be released on 7 April 2009.

The originality of this album is that the cover of this album will be designed by the fans …

Shania Twain

She has many fans in France and throughout the world, but it’s more than 7 years she had not released studio album (just a greatest hits in 2004) …

Shania Twain will make a “major announcement” next week …

New single, new album?

Superbowl XLIII

The U.S. soccer fans know well: Next Sunday is a day not to be missed!

This is the Super bowl XLIII, one of the largest annual events in the U.S..

For the uninitiated, this is the final of the NFL, the league’s football …

This year, the final object to the Pittsburgh Steelers at Arizona Cardinals, and the match will take place in Tampa (FL), in the legendary Raymond James Stadium (Go !!!!) Bursa …

The match will be broadcast live on France 2, on the night of 1 to 2 February, starting at midnight!

Note that the half-time, you will have the right, as every year, at a huge concert!

After Tom Petty last year, the Stones there are two years, this year it will be Bruce Springsteen.

And you, you tend Cardinals or Steelers?

Pat Green – What I’m For

 

I waited impatiently with this album because I liked his previous album, Cannonball.

With this album For What I’m, we remain in the same style and the same inspiration as the previous …

You already know the first single taken from this album, “Let Me”, which turns on the radio for some time, and that works well, since it is ranked 13th this week.

The rest of the album is quite similar to Cannonball, I would say even too similar.

However, two titles stand out:

- “In this world,” a title without fireworks, almost accoustique.

- “Country Star”, which is one of the best tracks on the album, and which I believe will be an upcoming single!
“Let Me” is quite nice also, in the style of Pat Green in the last ten years …

To summarize, For What I’m is not a bad album, but it still lack… Continue reading

Rio Grand – Nothing To Go On

 

So much the better!

Between Pat Green, Jack Ingram, Miranda Lambert, and even Eli Young Band, Texas is well represented!

In line with these groups, there is the Rio Grande.

It is a group that I like and I’m long and I had the chance to meet after a concert in Florida …

He had pointed out in 2006 with their hit “Kill Me Now”, which had slipped into the Top 50 U.S. country.

They are currently trying to record an album, to be at Curb Records (Tim McGraw, Hank Jr., LeAnn Rimes …).

An extract of the first titles this new album is called “Nothing To Go On”, and I propose to listen above.

This is a title that should appeal to radio in Nashville, to finally make this group out of Texas …

In any case I would bet much on them to be the surprise of… Continue reading

Gretchen Wilson is back!

She was released a few titles last year were quite gone unnoticed … It must be said that the single “Do not Do Me No Good” not bad, did not reach the level of old albums from the beautiful Redneck Woman!

Personally, I love this title, and it gives me great pleasure to hear the real Gretchen!
