Easton Corbin
One of country’s breakout stars of 2010, Easton Corbin,
became a household name with the release of his simple, but honest “A Little
More Country Than That.” And the accolades continue to roll in for Corbin as his
first two consecutive singles “A Little More Country Than That” and “Roll With
It” both reached #1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Released in
March 2010 is the self-titled, over-the-top album including “A Little More
Country Than That” which is among songs on the album that he co-wrote – “Roll
With It”, “The Way Love Looks”, and “I Can’t Love You Back.”
Saving Abel, a group of five
distinctive and lively men with colorful, yet truly down home, altruistic and
sincere personalities, has emerged in recent years as one of the most successful
rock bands in the United States. Their initial 2008 gold-certified album, Saving
Abel, includes singles “Addicted” “18 Days” and “Drowning (Face Down).”
With more in-depth southern rock sound, Miss America is their second
studio album which was released in June 2010 and whose title comes from the song
of the same name. Other singles from this new album include “Bloody Sunday”,
“Hell Of A Ride”, the ballad “Angel Without Wings” along with its first single “Stupid
Girl (Only In Hollywood).”
The incomparable guitar
genius and firebreathing intensity of Ted Nugent have carved him a permanent
place among the legends of rock. Hailing from Detroit, the guitarist’s
prodigious talents, earshattering volume and over-the-top onstage antics quickly
earned Young Ted the moniker of ‘Motor City Madman,’ along with international
acclaim. Recognized as the world’s leading guitar showman, Nugent’s
no-holds-barred career spans five decades of multi-platinum hits. From the
ground breaking Amboy Dukes’ “Journey to the Center of the Mind,”
to classics like “Stranglehold” and “Cat Scratch Fever,” Damn Yankees
chartbusters like “High Enough,” cult classic “Fred Bear,” and now “I Still
Believe,” Ted Nugent’s rapidfire sonic assaults continue to sell out venues
around the globe. The sounds he wrings from his almighty Gibson Byrdland leave
audiences gasping for breath and begging for more. To millions of guitar lovers
everywhere, Ted Nugent is rock and roll.
“Keep In Mind” is the current radio single from artists
LoCash Cowboys, a compellingly charismatic duo comprised of Preston Brust and
Chris Lucas. “Keep In Mind” follows up “Here Comes Summer”, the band’s debut
single that cracked the Top 40 at radio. Forthcoming is the
duo’s debut album This Is How We Do It with the core of this album a
series of high-energy manifestos – songs that celebrate the unabashed fun of the
LoCash lifestyle – the conviction that the best things in life are free or at
least low-cash.
Joshua Scott Jones and Meghan Linsey, the duo known as
Steel Magnolia, do not sound like twins in close
harmony; rather they are a study in contrasts that shows how two bold and
identifiable voices can mesh together, making something bigger and better.
Released in January 2011 is their debut album, Steel Magnolia, featuring
each of Steel Magnolia’s three singles: “Keep
On Lovin' You”, “Just
By Being You (Halo and Wings)” and “Last
Night Again.”
