Single Review – ‘Family Man’ – Craig Campbell
15 years ago Liv Carter 2
One of the staples of Country Music has long been the song about the hard-working man looking after his family. Often those songs get drenched in such sentimentality that the message all but disappears. As with any theme that’s often visited, the songwriting has to be top-notch. None of these are issues on Craig Campbell‘s Read More

Taylor Swift returns with ‘Mine’, the first single taken from forthcoming album, ‘Speak Now’. Rush-released to radio after the song leaked online, ‘Mine’ is a typical Taylor swift song. Depending on your existing opinion, this is either a good or a bad thing. In the story, she is working out abandonment and daddy issues by Read More

Billed as the first single from an upcoming double greatest hits CD, ‘Hits Alive’, Brad Paisley‘s ‘Anything Like Me’ has been released to radio.

15 years ago Liv Carter 9
In a recent interview for The Today Show, Carrie Underwood confirmed ‘Mama’s Song’ was going to be her next single. Understandable given her recent wedding. Not so understandable given that many Carrie fans do not seem to rate this song highly. I can’t really remember when I last noticed such a negative reaction to a Read More
