Watch Florida Georgia Line's 'Round Here' Music Video [VIDEO]

Rob Banks — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 06:14:45 +0000

Florida Georgia Line just may be one of the hottest acts in country music now. “Cruise” has been one of the biggest in over 50 years. “Get Your Shine On” was a solid follow up, but can the boys do it again? Here’s the music video for their brand-new song “Round Here” — and you’ll [...]

Taylor Swift, 'Red' – Song Review

Billy Dukes — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:45:10 +0000

Taylor Swift has released three singles to pop radio since releasing her last country single, but her country fans can rest easy knowing that they get all the best songs from the 'Red' album. The title track marks the superstar's first country offering since 'Begin Again,' a track released before the album was even available.

Eli Young Band, 'Drunk Last Night' – Song Review

Billy Dukes — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 18:30:01 +0000

Eli Young Band‘s new single ‘Drunk Last Night’ is a subtle, but important, departure from songs on the ‘Life at Best’ album. The track shuffles along at a slightly faster tempo than ‘Crazy Girl’ or ‘Even if It Breaks Your Heart,’ but the chorus and production breathe new life into the band’s sound. ‘Drunk Last [...]

Love and Theft, 'If You Ever Get Lonely' – Song Review

Billy Dukes — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 06:10:03 +0000

'If You Ever Get Lonely,' the new single from Love and Theft, makes vanilla taste like chili powder. The song was previously recorded by former Bad English singer John Waite, and Stephen Barker Liles and Eric Gunderson do little to put their individual marks on the story or production.

Morgan Frazier, 'Yellow Brick Road' – Song Review

Billy Dukes — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 06:03:52 +0000

Morgan Frazier plays Dorothy to the men she comes upon in her major label debut single 'Yellow Brick Road,' but she's hardly the shy, nervous character from the famous narrative. The 'Wizard of Oz' metaphor that drives this rocker is a clever way for the 19-year-old to get noticed, but the power of her voice is what will ultimately impress country music fans.

Jason Aldean, 'Night Train' – Song Review

Billy Dukes — Sun, 09 Jun 2013 13:00:17 +0000

Back country roads are becoming crowded this summer, with Jason Aldean's 'Night Train' the latest to take a girl and a fifth of something to a secret spot. The title track from this singer's most recent album stands out above many of the rest, however. It's a rare Aldean vocal showcase that uses a train to put a slightly different spin on this story.

Lonestar, 'Life as We Know It' – Exclusive Album Stream

Billy Dukes — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 04:20:14 +0000

Lonestar's new 'Life as We Know it' album is available as of June 4, and the band is giving Taste of Country readers a chance to hear the whole thing with an exclusive stream. 'Life as We Know It' is the first album with original lead singer Richie McDonald since 'Mountains' from 2006.

LeAnn Rimes, 'Spitfire' – Album Review

Billy Dukes — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 22:00:13 +0000

During 'I Do Now,' a song from LeAnn Rimes' new 'Spitfire' album, the singer name-checks the Dixie Chicks. The track is a feel-good, take-my-life-back kinda song nestled between much more moody and emotional fare. The similarities between the two acts were never so apparent until she says it.

Chris Young Creatively Reveals Name, Release Date of 2013 New Album

Billy Dukes — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 18:00:18 +0000

Watch closely and you’ll figure out the name and release date of Chris Young‘s upcoming fourth studio album. On a similar note, if you watch the ‘Aw Naw‘ singer’s Vine vides for too long, you might come away totally confused. The consensus among Young’s fans is that the album will be titled ‘A.M.’ and be [...]

Kree Harrison, 'All Cried Out' – Song Review

Billy Dukes — Thu, 23 May 2013 05:30:14 +0000

They say specificity is the soul of narrative, which would mean Kree Harrison‘s first post-’Idol’ single ‘All Cried Out’ lacks soul, or narrative. The ballad is a showcase for her vocal range and power, but it’s never made clear why the Texan is so bummed. Harrison performed the song during the final performance episode of [...]

David Nail, 'Whatever She's Got' – Song Review

Billy Dukes — Wed, 22 May 2013 05:42:34 +0000

‘Whatever She’s Got’ represents a new sound — and new look — for David Nail. The ‘Let It Rain’ singer previously relied on a strong voice and bittersweet lyrics to work songs up the charts. The new track is pop-friendly and not nearly as deep. Toward the end, ‘Whatever She’s Got’ becomes a little boy-bandish, [...]

New Songs on the Radio – May 2013

Billy Dukes — Wed, 08 May 2013 13:00:24 +0000

Lady Antebellum has a new album and a new song on the radio in May 2013. The superstar trio released 'Golden' on May 7, just days after announcing 'Goodbye Town' as the followup to 'Downtown.' It's one of many surefire hits to be introduced to fans for the first time this month. Chris Young and Jana Kramer also shared new music.

What's "On Tap?" [VIDEO]

Josh — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 10:00:19 +0000

So, what do you have “on tap”? It’s a question I hear all too often, working in the bar business. In my head I’m saying, “Look at the taps bro…they’re right in front of you,” but instead, my professional side comes out and I reply with a list of the beers we serve. It’s a [...]

'The Voice' Semi-Finals Recap: Blake Shelton Team Members Cassadee Pope and Terry McDermott Make it to Finals

Amy Sciarretto — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 11:04:49 +0000

On tonight's (Dec. 11) elimination episode of 'The Voice,' Blake Shelton's team, featuring Cassadee Pope and Terry McDermott, remained in tact. Both Pope and McDermott are moving on to next week's finals, doubling the country star's chances of being the show's winning coach for a second season in a row. Shelton could make 'The Voice' history and he's gunning for it.

Taylor Swift was a guest on 'The Late Show with David Letterman' last night. For many of us, we can only hope to have DVR'd it or catch the clips online.

John La Mond's Guilty Pleasure: Neil Diamond [VIDEO]

John La Mond — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 13:55:45 +0000

Up to now, I really haven’t told too many people about this but I am a huge Neil Diamond fan. I have admired this guy since I was a small child. He is an amazing songwriter and singer. I have seen him in concert a few times and he is also a consummate entertainer. Believe [...]

The Reason Why President Obama Lost The First Debate! [VIDEO]

Josh — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 09:10:37 +0000

Both President Obama and Governor Mitt Romney have spent many hours preparing for these presidential debates. Last night, the 2nd debate at Hofstra University, I feel was a tie. Both candidates basically repeated what they said in the first debate and both had fairly valid points when it comes to leading the nation. The first debate, Romney won in a landslide. Most of the public felt
