Summer heats up with Luke Bryan, Brett Eldredge and many more putting out new country music releases in August, 2013. Bryan will put 'Crash My Party' in stores on August 13. It's the second of four very busy Tuesdays.

Kellie Pickler's new single 'Little Bit Gypsy' is a step back vocally, but not a step backward. There's no flaws in her performance, but her power is stifled when compared to her previous single.

Brad Paisley is set to debut a brand new song Wednesday night (July 31) on America's Got Talent at 9 p.m. Listen to "I Can't Change The World" before the world premiere!

It's possible the context in which Randy Travis releases his new single 'Tonight I'm Playin' Possum' could cause fans and critics to overstate its impact. Then again, maybe not. There are, after all, only so many words available to heap effusive praise on this brilliantly composed and performed traditional ballad.

Thompson Square's 'Everything I Shouldn’t Be Thinking About' video is short, sweet and captures the carefree spirit that makes the duo so great.

Dierks Bentley's new single "I Hold On" debuted on the The View last week. Dierks says it's one of his most personal songs. Check it out!

One of the hottest country careers on the planet right now is that of Luke Bryan, and he has no plans of slowing down.

Justin Moore went a bit 'off the beaten path' in creatively revealing his new album cover. How did he do it? With the help of thousands of hashtags. A few years ago, it would have been completely unfamiliar, but now, hashtags are simply a part of life, so the star enlisted his fans in spreading the word and revealing the album cover.

Cole Swindell's debut single 'Chillin' It' isn't about the words or the musicianship. It's about the vibe and the sweet groove this Georgia-raised singer lays down patiently.

'Drivin' Around Song' is Colt Ford's best chance for a radio hit, something the singer would likely be willing to shave his body hair for. Jason Aldean's chorus is smooth and memorable, and his presence on the track from 'Declaration of Independence' gives Ford superstar credibility.

Be sure you're near a good, clean air source before you begin Jake Owen's new single 'Days of Gold.' Words like "uptempo" or "rockin'" don't even begin to describe the pace the singer keeps up for over three spellbinding minutes. 'Eight Second Ride' is a ballad comparatively.

Frankie Ballard has chopped his hair, lost a few pounds (seemingly) and refined his sound to produce 'Helluva Life,' a new single from an upcoming album. Natural grit makes a wandering lyric a more emotional experience. It's a song that attempts to throw its arms around everyone -- that's always a dangerous endeavor.
