Cool New Country Music

It's been a few weeks since my last entry into the world of cool new country music.

Let's start with the ever popular Taylor Swift. Her album "Fearless" is tearing up the charts. White Horse and Love Story are a strong combo to launch the record. Songs such as Fifteen and You Belong With Me are just more examples of how Taylor will still be on top months down the road.

Jake Owen is about to roll out "Easy Does It". This CD is amazing. I had the chance to listen to the whole album a few times through. There are several songs that will identify with many people. The first single is one of my favorites on the air right now.

The Lost Trailers busted onto the scene with Holler Back, the upbeat Rap meets Country song. Since then, they've produced some deep cuts. The current song on heavy rotation is How 'Bout You Don't. I really like this song. There ain't no good in saying goodbye is a line from the song. I identify with it really well. I'm about to make two moves in the next few weeks. KUPL is moving buildings, and then I'm moving somewhere else.

KUPL has these wide open weekends where we play almost everything in the library of music. Restless Heart's Bluest Eyes In Texas came on the radio. I hadn't heard the song in a really long time. I just sat in the car and listened. The song took me back to when I started to really like country music. If you haven't heard the song lately, I suggest you go pick it up on iTunes.
