NCC Album Reviews by Leslie Armstrong











The Reason Why, Capitol Records (Little Big Town) Hot off the airwaves with “Little White Church” is the staple Country group set to release a full compilation of tunes that evoke various emotions in different musical styles. There is a little bit of everything on this album including a tinge of Blues on the tune "Runaway Train" along with a more Traditional Country mix set in the lyrics of 'You Can't Have Everything." Phillip from the band was right in describing this followup album, releasing on Capitol records, as a new musical direction for the four part harmonic crew. This album is a definite must for your music collection. Release date is currently set for August 24th. Catch more news at www.littlebigtown.com






This Song is For You, Vanguard/Sugar Hill Records (Joey + Rory) The wife/husband duo took their inspirations from society and penned a tune of appreciation. The song includes guest vocals from the Zac Brown Band in a slow-down traditional Country melody with lyrics talking about the men and women working hard to keep this Country educated, protected, and running smoothly. The anthem-like message is simple yet to the point and has a nice rounded hook throughout the songs' entirety. You can download it for free now by visiting: www.joeyandrory.com/download





Top Down, Universal Republic (Fast Ryde)
Both James and Jody have fun with the music they make but it isn't the ordinary Country music you may hear as exampled in the synthesized track of "Top Down." The guys add a flair of current times trendy production with the infusion of traditional Country instruments such as the steel guitar and fiddle, combined with a very catchy hook. This summer mantra won't force its melody in to your head but it will breeze into your memory and encourage the want to sing along.You can find out more by visiting www.fastryde.com
