15 years ago Liv Carter 1
‘Bullets in the Gun’ – Toby Keith (Show dog-Universal Music, 2010) From the guitar’s very first opening notes, one can tell this is going to be an “outlaw” song. The title track from Toby Keith’s latest cd (and 15th studio album), ‘Bullets in the Gun’, does not disappoint on any level. A song with a Read More

The Incredible Machine – Sugarland (UMG Nashville, 2010) Last year, Sugarland caused a stir when the creative duo announced they had let themselves be inspired by Steampunk for the new album and tour.

The Guitar Song – Jamey Johnson (Mercury Nashville – 2010) Following the independent and mainstream success of That Lonesome Song, many were curious about Jamey Johnson‘s next move. Was he going to deliver a carbon copy album, pander to the format with songs about tractors, or continue to push the boundaries? With The Guitar Song, Read More
