Some of this album (maybe much of it?) was already recorded in the Fall of 2014 when "Lay Low" was charting. Unfortunately, a song I was looking forward to, "Bench Seat" (co-written by Craig Wiseman), is not on Deep South. It was on the previous finished album Josh was previewing in 2014, as evidence from this



Anyway, I'm obviously looking forward to it. Josh is loved by Mike Dungan and UMG, so I'm sure they've had to move heaven and Earth to get "Hometown Girl" up the charts to release this album. The title track from Josh's tweet announcement sounds fantastic and I can't wait to hear the album in full.

"Where The Girls Are" was intended to be the follow up to "Lay Low" but they must've changed their mind when they found "Honetown Girl ". "Where The Girls Are" was intended to be the follow up to "Lay Low" but they must've changed their mind when they found "Honetown Girl ".

Still looking forward to it though because Josh Turner's my favorite male vocalist, so I'm positive that I'll still love this project because he could sing the phone-book and I'd probably buy it. Would've also loved to have seen "Bench Seat" make the record, especially since I've been waiting for this damn album for years and there's *only* 11 songs on it.



Between the tracklist and the font on the cover, I'm getting a subtle vibe that he's going to pander a bit to country radio in order to stay relevant. I have no issues with him trying to re-establish himself as a star since I'd rather him stick around and keep having hits (being as he's my favorite ofc.), but I just hope the music is still good. I'm really excited for this album, but I'd be lying if I didn't have to point out that some of those titles make me a bit skeptical (I don't like beach music, so the Kenny Chesney-esque titles of a few of those don't entice me much) and the album cover is pretty tragic. That font with that palm tree in it...Still looking forward to it though because Josh Turner's my favorite male vocalist, so I'm positive that I'll still love this project because he could sing the phone-book and I'd probably buy it.

That being said, you never know, maybe we'll get a deluxe version including "Bench Seat" and a few others



SO excited to finally have Josh Turner back though!! I have no doubt that the music will still be good, coming from Josh Turner.

I'm very much looking forward to this album, but bummed by it only being 11 tracks, and very few of the titles are very exciting to me... but "Hometown Girl" didn't sound too appealing either and I like that one enough. So I'm trying not to judge the songs by their titles, but it's difficult with songs titled "Beach Bums" and "Hawaiian Girl"

Artist: John Schneider Album: Ruffled Skirts Label: Maven Morris Release date: Jan 27, 2017

Dukes of Hazzard star and country music singer John Schneider has a brand new album out this week inspired by his beloved studio ranch in South Louisiana that was hit by the devastating floods and the community that bounced back and helped like a "phoenix rising from the ashes." This album was recorded in his flooded home, where friends from all over appeared to help.



“This is really the first time that the music that I’m doing is representative of life rather than thinking ‘Oh, this is a good song,” he insists. “I’ve lived every one of these songs, so it’s an entirely different kind of an album. People’s responses have been great. I guess they are hearing a truth. I don’t guess there is any such thing as ‘the’ truth, but there is a truth, and it’s ringing true.”



On his new song "How Do You Stop The Water:" “You don’t realize it until you’ve actually cut the song, but when I listened to it back – I recorded the song just a few minutes after I found out my mother had passed away. So, there’s something very tangible about the sorrow in that song – but when I heard the song back, I thought ‘I would put this song up with ‘he Stopped Loving Her Today,’ ‘Miss Emily’s Picture,’ or ‘Live Like You Were Dying.’ I think it’s that kind of a song. It’s an experience. It’s not just a tune.

Album: God's Problem Child

Label: Legacy Recordings

Release date: April 2017

Nelson's new LP, God's Problem Child, will come out in April and will feature many new songs that he wrote with producer Buddy Cannon, who has worked on several Nelson records in recent years. "We have a system that works," Nelson says of working with Cannon. "I write a verse and he'll write a verse and next thing you know, we've got a song completed. Then we'll get a melody, and he'll go in the studio with a band to record it and put his vocal on there. Then when I get a chance, I go in the studio and I'll record my vocal. Over the years, we put out four or five albums. It's been really easy to do it that way."





One of Nelson's new originals is "Still Not Dead," which Nelson says he wrote "'cause I'm still not dead." "I got up two or three times in the last couple of years and read the paper where I'd passed away," he says.

Artist: Barry Zito Album: No Secrets Label: Childlike Productions Release date: Jan 27, 2017

Barry Zito baseball fans are about to become Barry Zito music fans! The retired major league pitcher is finally pursuing his lifelong dream of writing and recording music and has recorded his very first EP.



Zito has been playing guitar since his early 20’s, while on the road in the minor leagues, and he began dabbling in songwriting for fun a few years later. Born with a natural athletic ability, he’s also always possessed a love and talent for music that he comes by quite naturally. Zito grew up in a household surrounded by music. His father Joe worked as a conductor/arranger for Nat King Cole and eventually an artist manager, and his mother Roberta had been one of Cole’s backup singers in the Merry Young Souls. Barry recalls having a fascination with music pretty early on.



After retiring from his baseball career in 2015, Zito immediately turned his full attention to that second love and began crafting the songs that would fill his first album. You could almost say it was fate or kismet that brought the World Series winner full circle to a Triple A team in Music City right before he retired, and for Zito, it was definitely a long, winding journey full of interesting twists and turns that landed him in Nashville and ultimately inspired the songs on NO SECRETS. All songs are written/co-written by Zito.

Artist: Radney Foster Album (and accompanying book): Sycamore Creek Release date: September 2017 Kickstarter campaign SOURCE

Singer songwriter Radney Foster has been telling stories professionally for over 35 years. His songs have reached over 50 million people, whether through his own hits ("Crazy Over You," "Just Call Me Lonesome," "Nobody Wins," "Texas in 1880" and "Angel Flight") or those he wrote that became hits for others (Keith Urban's "Raining On Sunday," Sara Evans, "A Real Fine Place To Start," The Dixie Chicks "GodSpeed" and a host of others).



2016 saw him expanding his definition of storytelling. Along with songwriting and performing, he began acting (in the upcoming feature film "Beauty Mark," and onstage at the Alliance Theatre in "Troubadour.") He also began writing short fiction, taking his focus from 3 minute songs and diving deeper into each story. His new project is a collection of songs, each with a short story to go with it. The stories are not a retelling of the songs, but rather a companion piece. Sometimes they are based on the storyline, sometimes just on something the lyrics touch on. Often the song talks about what the characters were feeling at the time
