Top 10 Tracks I’m Digging Right Now

... the wrong word because they were just playing a little festival in a little suburb), I found myself craving anything but rock. Anything with a lot of twang, steel, fiddle, banjo and a redneck theme. Again, anything but rock. So I’ve been quenching that thirst for country with songs like these:
“Give It to Me Strait,” Tim McGraw
“Very Last Country Song,” Sugarland
“Tackle Box,” Luke Bryan
“Coalmine,” Sara Evans
“Catch ...

Luke Bryan Shows a Softer, Sexier Side in “Do I”
CMT Blog —
... The somber opening scene of Luke Bryan’s “Do I” sets the stage for this video. The drama increases as you see a woman inconsolably saying, “I can’t do this.” Instead of his usual funny and playful self, Bryan takes on a role that’s tender and sensitive. He’s quite believable as he sings of a relationship at a crossroads: “I could lean into hold you or act like I don’t know you. Seems like you could care less either way.” I enjoyed seeing this raw side of ...

... is enough,” I find myself still pining for that uber twang I heard in Gary Levox’ voice. The kind that makes a song unmistakably country. So I set out to find the most distinctive twangs and drawls I could find. If there are any obvious ones I left off this list, please let me know so I can add them.

Luke Bryan Wants a New Videographer. Are You In?
CMT Blog —
Technically, Luke Bryan already has a brilliant video for his bittersweet ballad, "Do I," the first single off his forthcoming Doin' My Thing album. But he seems like a pretty open-minded guy, so he's put together this contest where his fans can make their own one-minute video for the song, and Bryan himself will pick the winners. A word of warning, though. This song is so heart-wrenching, your video will require some real pensive thought. So no taking your Flip camera to a frat party and posting your ...
My Change of Heart About Luke Bryan's Question
CMT Blog —
I have loved Luke Bryan's music since about 10 seconds into "All My Friends Say." And I have loved every song since. Released and unreleased. And when I first heard his current single "Do I," I thought I loved it. Even blogged about loving it. But now that it's on the radio all the time, I have to say I'm having second thoughts.
Because in the song, he's longing for what his relationship used to be. When all they had was a perfect simple kind of loving and how those sure were the days and how that ...

What I Learned from Luke Bryan's New Album
CMT Blog —
... I have so much to learn. And I'm starting to think Luke Bryan is just the guy to teach me. His latest album, Doin' My Thing, out today, is full of life lessons. Like the fact that corn makes whiskey ("Rain Is a Good Thing"). I did not know that. Nor did I know what a .30-06 was ("Drinkin' Beer and Wastin' Bullets") or that Coke from a green glass bottle is colder than that plastic stuff ("Welcome to the Farm"). I also learned that even men get that feeling like you two are just going through the motions (" ...

... you listen to music for a living, chances are you will eventually get sick of the music you are listening to over and over. Not me, though. If I'm reviewing an album, a country one anyway, I will dig most of the tracks long after they're considered "new." So this week, my list is made up of the newish tunes I still love and ones I will likely still love years from now.
"Heart Like Mine," Miranda Lambert
"Someone Else Calling You Baby," Luke Bryan
"If You're Tryin' You Ain't," Toby Keith ...
