Cool New Country Music

Time for the cool new country music section of this blog. We feature five new songs that I think you need to know.

1. Voices - Chris Young This is starting to get some serious airplay on the satellite side and on local stations. Solid song you can sing along with. This is my record of the year so far (tie with Falling Into You by Whiskey Falls)

2. Do You Believe Me Now - Jimmy Wayne Good song that really looks at a relationship from the other point of view. One of my new favorites.

3. Brothers of The Highway - George Strait Classic road song about truckers. A must have on any road trip. I love the line about the nation runs on 18 wheels. That is very true. Also, since I work for a station in Portland, I've re-written the words to the song. It currently is "North and South to San Diego" and I've taken it to "Portland south the San Diego"

4. All Summer Long - Kid Rock I first heard this on CMT. My family is from Michigan so I identified with it. Its a good summertime song. Not sure what he was smoking back then, but oh well.

5. All I Ever Wanted - Chuck Wicks The latest follow up to his hit "Stealing Cinderella" This is an excellent song and one that really touches home for anyone who has a dream of a relationship or more with that special someone.

Honorable Mention: Different Breed - Carter's Chord These young sassy ladies have great voices and this song make me laugh. We aren't "those girls" Take a listen !
