Tracy Lee Walker is not fresh to the county music scene, but this is the first evidence I could fin of her solo work. As a matter of fact, it is difficult to find anything at all about her on the web, other than that she is from Scotland. But her album Living in Your Shadow stand on its own and her experience shines in every song on the album. With a voice that can go from raw to crooning, she reminds me a lot of Reba McIntyre. Her lyrics are true and sometimes full of the irony of love that lets you down, but does not desert you. Check her out and grab the whole album
Derek McCorkell sounds amazing USA born and bred in his album Country Collection, Vol 1. A classic, back to the roots country sound with a handful of songs with a rocking Honky Tonk Beat. He has a raw but easy to listen to voice and the songs are all strong and well written. Check out the samples, then go download it before he becomes "discovered".
Here is a song from Tom Beaudreau that everyone should hear and hold close in their heart. As you make plans to party this weekend, remember there are soldiers out there dying every day. A Father's Prayer from his album All Mine, will go straight to your heart strings. With a voice that is part Johnny Cash and part Tom Wait, this is a song worth every listen and download it can get.
