A few years back I was big into country music. I kept up to date with all the latest Nashville news and gossip. I also traveled all over to concerts and listened to the music non-stop. Well in the past few years my dedication to the music has fallen but I still somewhat keep connected to it. Every week I get an email that lists the latest top 50 songs and also lists singles releasing in the next couple of weeks. This week's email showed Josh Gracin will be dropping a single next week called "Telluride." I got to thinking and I remembered a few years ago hearing Tim McGraw sing a song with the same name so I clicked on the link to listen to Josh's song and sure enough its the same one Tim recorded a few years back that is on his "Set This Circus Down" album. I have to say Tim's recording is a lot better than Josh's. I don't know what it is about Josh but I just don't care for his re-recording of other artist's songs. His covers of Marchel's music were pretty flat and boring. Josh doesn't give the same amount of punch and kick as the other artists do.
I'm trying really hard to get back into the country music scene. Whats gotten me really excited is the news from my favorite artist Michelle Poe. She and Keith Burns are getting together for a new group called Burns and Poe. The first single is supposed to drop in January and its called "Gone as All Get Out" and their second single will be "Always a Woman." I can't wait to hear the new music.
As you can see I've decided to go back to a standard blogger layout. I just don't have the time right now to work on a custom layout for the blog. The more time I get I will tweak different parts but for now I'm going to a plain jane look.
