Album Review: Off the Beaten Path – Justin Moore
12 years ago Liv Carter 5
If you’re looking for profound lyrics and veiled song meanings, then this isn’t an album for you. Off the Beaten Path is what you see is what you get, take it or leave it. From what I know about Justin Moore, that attitude sums up who he is as well. This album certainly doesn’t try Read More
Single Review: 'Oh Juliet' – Joel Crouse
12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Single Review: 'Oh Juliet' – Joel Crouse
Joel Crouse recently released the follow-up to his debut single ‘If You Want Some’, titled ‘Oh Juliet’. When I first heard the song title, I expected another ‘Love Story’ only from the guys perspective, rather than the girls, and in a since, that is what we get, but with a surprising twist to it.

12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Single Review: 'Beat of the Music' – Brett Eldredge
Songwriters: Brett Eldredge, Ross Copperman, Heather Morgan Due to industry machinations, Brett Eldredge was kept waiting in the wings for a long time as he endured the delay of the release of his debut album, Bring You Back. Previous single, ‘Don’t Ya,’ needed more than forty weeks but eventually reached #1. The follow-up is new Read MoreSingle Review: 'Slow Me Down' – Sara Evans

Rodney Atkins kicks off a new album era with new single, ‘Doin’ It Right,’ the first offering from his upcoming album. The guitar melody intro followed by drums and a riff will sound very familiar, as this song starts off in similar fashion to many Atkins hits. Also returning is the ‘music with a message’ Read MoreSingle Review: ‘Don't Let Me Be Lonely’ – The Band Perry
12 years ago Liv Carter 1
Songwriters: Sarah Buxton, Rodney Clawson, Chris Tompkins ‘Don’t Let Me Be Lonely’ is the third single from The Band Perry’s sophomore Republic Nashville album, Pioneer. While the first two singles, ‘Better Dig Two’ and ‘Done,’ have a rough, darker sound, ‘Don’t Let Me Be Lonely’ is truly just nothing special. The Band Perry’s familiar edge Read More
Single Review: 'That's My Kind of Night' – Luke Bryan
12 years ago Liv Carter 2
Songwriters: Dallas Davidson, Chris DeStefano, Ashley Gorley Under normal circumstances, I like it when artists exceed my expectations. I honestly didn’t think Luke Bryan would ever release something worse than ‘Country Girl (Shake it for Me),’ a song I unapologetically refer to as “a sexist piece of trash.” With new single, ‘That’s My Kind of Read More
