If I wasn't aware of the history of Garth's retirement and long-awaited comeback, if I wasn't familiar with the planning that went into that comeback, if I was only familiar with his music, I would have no trouble believing that this album may have come out in 2002 or 2003 as a follow-up to Scarecrow.
Posted by: Cobra If I had to sum up Garth Brooks' new album in one word, the word would be "consistent."

Posted by: Cobra Saturday night, I traveled a few hundred miles to see Texas Country singer Wade Bowen play a show at the Whiskey Barrel Saloon in Lansing, MI. Wade Bowen is an amazing singer and songwriter, and unfortunately, this was as close to where I live as he was going to be playing. He even joked early in the show that he didn't think anyone up here would know who he was.
We know who you are Wade. And needless to say, the concert was well worth the travel. Posted by: Troy Today's album review of Ray Scott's album is written by reader/guest critic, Troy. Thanks Troy for reading and contributing! Howdy folks. My name is Troy & your good friend Cobra asked me if I'd like to take a stab and review Ray Scott's self-titled album. For people not familiar with Ray Scott, he has written songs for Randy Travis ("Pray for the Fish") & Clay Walker ("A Few Questions") and released his debut album on Warner Bros in 2005 called My Kind of Music. Or you may know him by the song "Those Jeans." He left Warner Bros years ago, continued to release his albums independently. Earlier this year, he teamed up with Nashville producer Dave Brainard to form their own label deciBel Nashville & this album is one of those efforts.
Posted by: Cobra Remember the old Shakespeare line "tis better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all"? One has to wonder if the same holds true for fame.
Posted by: Cobra I was going to wait a couple of days before posting this, but after the atrocity at last night's CMAs, my blood is still boiling and I wanted to put this up. Luke, we've heard this song from you before. More than once. We heard it at least twice on "Tailgates and Tanlines," I know there was at least one just like it on your "Spring Break" collection, and it was on your first couple of albums as well.
Posted by: Cobra All throughout the CMA Awards, I wrote down my thoughts, feelings, and musings on the events of the night with the intent of writing a full recap.
Posted by: Cobra: I've had a lack of updates the past week or so, however I'm working on getting more up. I've been very busy at my paying job, so... Anyway, an announcement, and then a video . First, my Garth Brooks album has shipped, so expect a review not too long after I receive it. I have guaranteed release day delivery, however with it having shipped already, I might expect it a little earlier. Second, a video for the day. This is from one of my favorite CDs this year, I Got Dressed Up For This by Mitch Rossell. You should definitely check out his CD. |
