Kenny Chesney - Better As A Memory
"Better As A Memory" is the followup to Kenny Chesney's duet with George Strait, "Shiftwork," and the fourth song overall from Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates and a couple of lines from the song provide inspiration for the title of the album. It's a good premise for a song and Kenny's vocal and the production sound good, so there's a lot to like about it, unfortunately, the lyric is a little too senseless. (from 9513.com)

Sugarland,Little Big Town & Jake Owen - "Life In A Northern Town"
Sugarland, Little Big Town and Jake Owen, all toured together last fall, and are climbing the chart together with their version of "Life in a Northern Town," a mid-'80s hit for the Dream Academy. Appearing on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, but not on any album. A live version of the song was recorded during last fall's CMT Tour, on which all three acts performed.

Chuck Wicks - All I Ever Wanted
His debut album Starting Now features the debut hit, "Stealing Cinderella" and for Chuck Wicks the singer/songwriter from Delaware he's just trying to make a mark in country music. His followup is the catchy "All I Ever Wanted". Chuck will be in concert in Lincoln, April 26th at Uncle Ron's with Froggy98.

Montgomery Gentry - "Back When I Knew It All"
Country music's rockin'-party duo Montgomery Gentry have a new album set for a summer release this June. Back When I Knew It All is the title of the CD and the new song from Eddie and Troy...

#
Brad Paisley - "I'm Still A Guy"
Brad "the Dad" Paisley shows no signs of slowing down with his current album 5th Gear. After debuting at #1 the CD notched Brad's eighth, ninth and tenth #1 songs with "Ticks", "Online" and "Letter to Me". Now with more Froggy Fresh Music listen for Brad's "I'm Still A Guy".



#
Dierks Bentley - "Trying To Stop Your Leaving"
It's a sign of Dierks Bentley's increasing stardom and clout that he has a writing credit on all 11 songs on his third album, Long Trip Alone. He's a savvy songwriter, particularly when he's slyly incorporating elements of rock or pop into his country including the anthemic opening of "Trying to Stop Your Leaving".

#
Gary Allan - "Learning How To Bend"
Gary Allan's raw and powerful delivery on the second single, from his Living Hard album, is a great reason to turn on your radio! "Learning How To Bend" is a realistic, honest love song that is elevated by Allan's gritty vocal performance that holds nothing back.(courtesy: CountryUniverse)

#
Brooks & Dunn - "Put A Girl In It"
No superstar country act strikes a balance between playing on their strengths and taking new risks quite like Brooks & Dunn. After being philosophical with their last hit,"God Must Be Busy", Kix and Ronnie now get silly with, "Put a Girl in It".

#
Carrie Underwood - "Last Name"
Carrie Underwood strikes again with a powerful delivery in the song "Last Name" from her sophomore album Carnival Ride. The former American Idol winner continues to grab attention with great lyrics and a strong voice. Give this a listen...

#
George Strait - "I Saw God Today"
George Strait continues to smash his own records... with another song on the verge of jumping to the top of the Country Music charts. His new album, Troubadour in stores on April 1st features "I Saw God Today".

#
Taylor Swift - "Should've Said No"
Taylor Swift is one of the most talented, young performers today. At sixteen years old, she wrote or co-wrote all of the 11 songs on her debut album on Big Machine Records. But don't let her age fool you! She writes and sings with the passion and conviction of a country music veteran. Her new song, "Should've Said No," is about a cheating boyfriend getting an earful with a sawing fiddle and strong words from Swift.

#
Alan Jackson - "Good Time"
Alan Jackson follows his "Small Town Southern Man" with "Good Time" sounds cliché, I know. But this isn't just another let's-go-out-tonight song. It's a fast-talker, giving Jackson a chance to show off his voice without a bunch of unnecessary instruments. But the sweet harmonica break at the end does add to this infectious workin'-all-week anthem.

#
Tim McGraw - "Kristofferson"
Tim McGraw's current release from his album, Let It Go, "Kristofferson" is arguably one of the more traditional tracks from the album. The prominence of the steel guitar and fiddle, along with the piano, create a pleasant combination and Tim McGraw again delivers vocally on the performance.

#
Blake Shelton - "Home"
Blake Shelton has another hit on his hands from the album Pure BS. The song is titled "Home", Michael Buble made this song famous, but Shelton countrified it. Blake's 'choir' sang the song during NBC's Clash of the Choirs earlier this year, and Miranda Lambert sings backup vocals on the album. Hear his unique, heartfelt rendition of "Home" on Froggy98.


#
Toby Keith - "She's A Hottie"
From his upcoming album 35 Biggest Hits (in stores May 6th).
This is another song that Toby pushes to the brink with predictable lyrics.

#
Luke Bryan - "Country Man"
Luke Bryan again stakes his niche as a country-party-man with his third single from his albumI'll Stay Me. Luke turns to another uptempo song "Country Man"for his next hit. It's a logical follow-up to "All My Friends Say" and "We Rode In Trucks"...

#
Phil Stacey - "If You Didn't Love Me"
Former American Idol, Phil Stacey's debut album was released back in April and features the lead single "If You Didn't Love Me." The song was written by Gary LeVox from Rascal Flatts, Wendell Mobley, and Jason. The song is now making a rapid ascent of the country radio charts.
