NOTES
|
|
76 South
|
Mail Myself to Mexico
|
Kinda fun but I fear the fact they are completely
unknown is going to hamper any chance of this doing anything. (4/2)
|
|
Alee
|
Real
|
80’s light rock production. (3/19)
|
|
Amero, Don
|
Turn These Grey Skies Blue
|
Easy to listen.
There could be something with him as an artist. (5/14)
|
|
Ardell, Will
|
Save Me
|
(4/2)
|
|
Ashby-Craft,
Kate
|
Keep On The Sunny Side
|
(5/14)
|
|
Bamford, Gord
(C)
|
Leaning On A Lonesome Song
|
My favourite on the album. I really hope this sounds as good on the
air as it has to me the 5,432 time off the air. This is Gord Bamford. LOVE IT!
|
|
Banks,
Victoria
|
Jackson
|
Edgy and different for her. She sounds solid. The content lyrically concerns me. (5/7)
|
|
Barrett,
Kristal
|
Don’t You Forget It
|
Thin.
(5/7)
|
|
Bellamy,
Clayton
|
That Ain’t Gonna Fly
|
(5/28)
|
|
Belle Star
|
Jolene
|
Love the idea of this but this song has been
covered a few times with no success.
I’d love this to work. They
sound good. (4/30)
|
|
Biggar, Mike
|
June Night
|
(5/28)
|
|
Blaine, Jason (C)
|
Cool
|
Jason has made a good choice in writing with
Deric Ruttan. Nice. (4/9)
|
|
Brandt, Paul (C)
|
You
|
A little bit of a spooky delivery from Paul. It’ll either come across as powerful or
strange. I hope powerful. Make your own fade edit at 3:20. (4/2)
|
|
Brody, Dean (C)
|
Bob Marley
|
Gold.
(5/21)
|
|
Brooks, Linda
|
Now That You’re Here

Broughton, Lindsay
|

Like her voice.
The song is just OK.(2/13)
|
|
Brownlee, Chad (C)
|
Smoke In The Rain

Love the ‘Hey Now’…makes the song for me! Chad sounds great! (2/13)

Not bad but not good enough. (4/23)

|
|
Cummings, Chris
|
Till You Smile Again
|
(3/19)
|
|
Doc Walker (C)
|
Where I Belong
|
This song is going up against two songs very
similar. Montgomery Gentry’s ‘Where I
Come From’ and the new Deric Ruttan (see my thoughts below). This is good but not better than the other
two. Is there room for three? (3/12)
|
|
Doell, Jordan
|
Politically Incorrect
|
(3/12)
|
|
Doran, Barbara Lynn

|
(4/30)
|
|
Epp, Kylee
|
Be Your Girl
|
(5/14)
|
|
Fisher, Genevieve (C)
|
July
|
She’s stepped up another level for me with
this. Strong lyrically and vocally she
sounds the best yet. The promise I
heard months back is not letting me down with this. Major contender for me. (4/2)
|
|
Friends of Jack
|
One More Margarita
|
(5/7)
|
|
Gill, Chris

Come To Me

Super strong hook/melody. This should be their biggest song to
date. LOVE IT! Get ready to hear this lot. (2/13)
|
|
Johnson, Carolyn Dawn (C)
|
Reach You
|
Super strong vocal chorus with beautiful
harmonies. (3/19)
|
|
Kennedy, Tonya
|
Super Girl

She sounds pretty good. The song is OK but I don’t think it’s
strong enough. (5/28)
|
|
Kerosene Creek

Girls Get In Free
|
(4/2)

Pear
|
Never Lookin Back
|
(4/23)
|
|
Prevost, Codie
|
Last Night All Day
|
Upsetting. I
feel this is a step back for him. I
thought he was making a bit of progress.
Wrong song choice. (5/28)
|
|
Raye, Heidi

I like her voice.
Pretty good song lyrically and some tasty production. Love the choir. (4/2)
|
|
Reid, Johnny/Johnson, Carolyn Dawn (C)
|
Baby I Know It

Johnny’s vocals sound different. Way back in the mix. Very soft AC sounding. Upper demo will like this. (5/14)

(3/5)
|
|

|
|
Ruttan, Deric (C)
|
Main Street, 1979

Absolutely BRILLIANT! Deric is an unreal writer. Then his delivery vocally and the
arrangement musically is just spot on.
What a SUPER song. (3/12)
|
|
Sampson, Gordie
|
Any Other Memory
|
Takes too long to get my attention. (5/21)

Production sounds decent too.
Don’t think it’s enough though.
(5/14)
|
|
Sereda, Jerry

long time. (4/30)
|
|
Smith, Dallas (C)
|
If It Gets You Where You Wanna Go
|
So good!
This is the second of many more hit singles coming our way. The advance of the CD sounds as good as
this and there may be a few better.
(3/12)
|
|
Smith, Sarah
|
Shine Bright
|
Terrible.
(4/23)
|
|

Stott, Amanda (f Matt Young)

Now’s Our Time

Amanda has been away for so long. This song starts with her husband which is
a complete unknown Christian AC act.
This song doesn’t sound country.
Pretty but not country. (5/21)
