12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Concert Review: Jeffrey Steele – Franklin 4 the Cure Benefit – September 15, 2012
On Saturday, September 15, 2012, Jeffrey Steele performed at the Franklin for the Cure benefit, a very worthy cause raising funds for Vanderbilt University’s Monroe Carrell Chidren’s Hospital. To further help the charity, the evening’s host, GAC’s Storme Warren, helped auction off a signed acoustic guitar halfway through the show – an auction which brought Read More

12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Album Review: Declaration of Independence – Colt Ford
Declaration of Independence – Colt Ford (Average Joes Entertainment, 2012) A few years ago, Colt Ford hit upon something no one seemed to have thought of yet. Upon realizing that many young country fans mixed up line dancing to the latest country hits with grooving to Top 40 rap and R&B, he created his hip-hop/country Read More

Single Review: ‘C.O.U.N.T.R.Y.’ – LoCash Cowboys

12 years ago Liv Carter 3
Songwriters: Chris Lucas, Preston Brust, Jeffrey Steele In the last few years, radio has been battered by an onslaught of songs glorifying all things “country.” This has mostly not been a good thing. It is tempting to want to collectively toss them all into the nearest sarlacc pit, and I have pleaded guilty to this Read More

12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Single Review: ‘Corn Star’ – Craig Morgan
The defendants Songwriters: Shane Minor, Jeffrey Steele I have a love/hate relationship with songs written by Jeffrey Steele. He has his name on some of the most outstanding tracks, but is also responsible for some of the worst. Hopefully, I will never have to hear anything worse than ‘Corn Star,’ the new single for Craig Read More

12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Songwriters Circle: Granger Smith
Texas singer-songwriter Granger Smith received an education in songwriting during his time in Nashville before heading back home. With his radio-friendly version of Texas country music, he has found a way to straddle the divide between Music Row and independent music. This put him on my list for an extended conversation about songwriting. UCN: Some Read More

UCN Interview: LoCash Cowboys – “If you’re going to be cliché, why not be original?”

12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on UCN Interview: LoCash Cowboys – “If you’re going to be cliché, why not be original?”
One of the greatest things about running UCN has been the people it has brought into my life whom I otherwise would never have met. And really cool have been the people who have taken me by surprise. Perhaps none have done this more than Chris Lucas and Preston Brust of LoCash Cowboys. If you Read More

Songwriters Circle: Clay Evans

12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Songwriters Circle: Clay Evans
I hear a lot of new music. In any given week, I am sent upwards of 100 new CDs. This is probably true for most music writers: if you want to grab my attention, you need to arrive with something special; something I haven’t heard from anyone else. Nashville singer-songwriter Clay Evans did just that Read More

Heartbreaking and heartwarming. Inspiring, moving, sweet, funny and unforgettable. Last Sunday, February 26, 2012, the extended LoCash Cowboys family came together at the Wildhorse in Nashville, TN to pay tribute to the life and music of Ryan ‘Troop’ Jones with a show benefiting MusiCares. One of the worst things a band can go through is Read More

Songwriters Circle: Tracy Lawrence

12 years ago Liv Carter 2
Having focused mainly on independent or upcoming songwriters in this series so far, it was time to include a big name; someone who has been there, done that, and wrote a song about it. Tracy Lawrence celebrated his 20th year in the music industry last summer and has seen every possible side of Music Row. Read More

Singer-songwriter Jeremy McComb has been on my list for one of these interviews since I started the series. The recent release of his new record, Leap and the net will appear, after a long and complete break with songwriting, gave us a good reason to talk at (great) length about the craft. While being signed Read More
