We talked a bit about [tag]Sheryl Crow[/tag]’s forthcoming new record called “Detours”, in a previous post, but now we’re back with some details. For instance, after resolving, her misunderstandings with long time friend and collaborator, Bill Bottrell, the both in a burst of creativity, recorded twenty-four songs in forty days in the basement studio of Crow’s Nashville-area home. Of these, only fourteen made the cut, on what’s considered Crow’s most personal album yet, fact she…
New Ryan Adams video: ‘Follow The Lights’
Talented Jacksonville “heart breaker” is back with a new video, this time for the slow paced, chilling “Follow The Lights.” Much like the whole song, the video lacks passion and as result gets terribly dull. It features Ry chopping his guitar and singing the song, while a pretty down dude walks through a empty, uninhabited home. Although it’s a bright day, only a few portions of the house are lighted, the man follows these “lights”…
LeAnn Rimes says new album is a great way to get to know her
[tag]LeAnn Rimes[/tag] is a very talented singer and her voice is just breathtaking; it has wowed audience since she was just 13, when she made her debut with the hit album “Blue” and earned a best new artist Grammy in the process.

He imposed himself a retirement but he is returning to play just nine back-to-back concerts in Kansas City to promote his three-disc greatest hits collection, “The Ultimate Hits.”. The 45-year-old Brooks says he has no regrets about bowing out of recording and touring in 2000…

After the first American idol winner [tag]Kelly Clarkson[/tag] made it big with her impressive and lovely voice it is now the second album was the charm for the former winner Carrie Underwood. It was far better than the first. The 24-year-old country singer’s latest disc, Carnival Ride, checked in at No. 1 with 17,000 in sales, knocking Josh Groban’s “Noel” (11,000) down to No. 2.

New Bruce Springsteen video: ‘Radio Nowhere’
Some time ago we uploaded [tag]Bruce Springsteen[/tag] latest single “Radio Nowhere” and put it out for download, now the video for this awesome track has surfaced. It’s great we can get a glimpse of the E Street band in videos for a change, I honestly feel their terribly underrated. The video itself is made out of bits of big city life society (traffic, crowds, tall buildings etc) and Boss featuring E Street jamming.
