CANCON NOTES

MARK'S CANCON SONG NOTES: July 16 – July 22, 2008

Bamford, Gord (C)

Drinkin’ Buddy

Pretty fun! Does it give the wrong image though? I fear some listeners will hear this the wrong way. (5/13)

Blaine, Jason (C)

Give It To Me

His smooth vocal works for me. Great sound. Is the hook/melody good enough? Lyrically this should work for women 25-54. (3/10)

Brody, Dean (C)

Dirt Road Scholar

Here’s the follow up to ‘Brothers’ and his second single from his new CD that drops May 12th in Canada. I really like Dean and this song just feels right. Fun spring/summer song! (5/4)

Canyon, George (C)

Let It Out

The lyrics are too strong for this not to do well. (6/8)

Clark, JD

So Good With You

JD Clark might just be the most talented indie around right now! This is a great feel good song. His vocal is easy to listen to as well. I hope this gets a chance! (7/6)

Clark, Terri (C)

Gypsy Boots

I’m hearing a lot of different opinions on this…Terri Clark fans will like this…the rest maybe…maybe not. I like it…I think it has great attitude and edge. I think you have to add a new Terri Clark but play it cautiously. (6/28)

Doc Walker (C)

Coming Home

Very nice! Classic DW. (6/4)

Emerson Drive (C)

I Love This Road

Feel good summer road trip song. (7/06)

Farrell, Jessie (C)

You Make Me Feel

BOOM BOOM BOOM! Love it!! This will pick you and your station up a few notches!! Get ready to have some fun. (6/28)

Gregory, Adam (C)

Could I Just Be Me

Nice second single. Could work. I think it’s worth a shot. (5/12)

Greeley, Jason

Usually

Jason has a great voice and this is a very good song. I was impressed two years ago at the CCMA’s but haven’t heard anything since. It’s going to be tough to cut through but there is something here. (6/28)

Hess, Kenny

Throwing Whiskey on the Flames

(7/13)

Morgan, Melanie

Goodbye Birmingham

Strong production with great energy and attitude. She can sure sing! This song fits her vocally perfectly. (7/13)

Olsen, Steve Lee (C)

Now

He’s got a new country vocal which is nice to hear from a Canadian. There’s promise here and this song is pretty good but it’s not that ‘out of the park’ hit I was expecting. (5/19)

Pritchett, Aaron (C)

Hard To Miss

This feels good. Hopefully, this helps Aaron get that buzz back. (6/16)

Reid, Johnny (C)

Dance With Me

Play it now…play it a lot. Johnny can do no wrong! (6/16)

Saunders, Elyse

Bittersweet

(7/13)

Shawanda, Crystal (C)

Try

Strong in every way but I don’t see the masses liking her overall sound. Is this the week to give it a shot? (6/8)

Titcomb, Liam

Comes To Mind

(7/13)

White, Brianna

Good Riddance

(7/13)

(C) = Recommended
