NOW Franchise Releases “NOW That’s What I Call Country Ballads”

Posted by Country Girl on January 31st, 2012

Even after 15 years, the ever-popular NOW records are still going strong, despite a decline in record sales after the emergence of iTunes. The famed NOW franchise is back with a new release, NOW That’s What I Call Country Ballads, featuring 18 monster ballads from hit-makers such as Chris Young and Kenny Chesney to Shania Twain and George Strait.

This is definitely a modern-day collection of country ballads, so if you’re expecting to find “He Stopped Loving Her Today” or “The Dance” on this record, you might be disappointed. Instead, you’ll find Sara Evans’ rendition of Edwin McCain’s “I Could Not Ask For More,” Martina McBride’s latest tear-jerker, “I’m Gonna Love You Through It,” Dierks Bentley’s risque “Come a Little Closer,” and Carrie Underwood’s take on the famous Randy Travis classic, “I Told You So.”

This album is definitely aimed towards a younger audience with songs from crossover artists like Taylor Swift, The Band Perry, and Lady Antebellum, all of whom have had just as much success on pop radio as they have in the country genre. The record also features former Hootie & the Blowfish frontman Darius Rucker’s debut single as a country artist, “Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It,” which I still say is his strongest single to date.

If you’re not high-tech with all the latest MP3s and gadgets, this would be a great record to buy if you want some of the greatest country ballads released in the last 10 years or so. Or, you could just turn on your radio – I hear these songs multiple times a day, so it’s nothing new or out of the ordinary. But, like I said, it’s a good record to have on hand in the car if you want some good country slow songs. The NOW records are available wherever records are sold, including online via iTunes and Amazon.

Don’t forget to enter for your chance to win a copy of NOW That’s What I Call Country Ballads from CMTT. CLICK HERE to enter. Hurry! Contest ends Thursday , February 2nd.

Tim McGraw’s ‘Emotional Traffic’ Getting Rave Reveiws!

Posted by TawnyTucker on January 25th, 2012

Tim McGraw’s 11th studio album Emotional Traffic is being praised by music critics and fans across the country. With Rolling Stone saying, “His 11th LP is his most assured, with a dozen sharp songs about middle-American struggles.”

“With a voice that can go from earthy to angelic in a single phrase and a back catalog that shows serious growth over two decades, McGraw is a star with substance…” NPR

“McGraw continues to expand country music’s boundaries. That’s why, 20 years into his career, his music still sounds so fresh…” Associated Press

“a solid outing from a solid singer in his prime…” Washington Post

“McGraw sounds more relevant than he has in years.” Toronto Star

“McGraw’s 44, but he’s pushing 50 singles on the country chart. The songs on ‘Emotional Traffic’ are professionally programmed with GPS precision toward that destination.” Chicago Sun-Times

“a celebration of his rich history to date and an optimistic step toward the future.” GAC

“worth the wait…” Cleveland Plain Dealer

“I’m profoundly proud of this album, and I’m extremely happy to finally be able to share this with the fans, especially the ones who came out to see us on the Emotional Traffic tour last summer,” said McGraw. “We’re getting ready for the Brothers of The Sun tour, and I can’t wait to share some new music and create some truly memorable nights together this year.”

This June, McGraw will kick off what is anticipated to be the biggest stadium tour in country music history with old friend Kenny Chesney. The ‘Brothers of the Sun’ Tour will reunite McGraw and Chesney for the first time in 10 years. The 20-city tour kicks off on June 2nd in Tampa and will hit the nation’s biggest stadiums through August.

Next up on McGraw’s schedule is an Australian arena tour with wife Faith Hill. For more information and a full list of tour dates, visit http://www.timmcgraw.com.
