MARK'S CANCON SONG NOTES: November 03, 2011 – November 9, 2011
ARTIST | TITLE | NOTES |
| Banks, Victoria | Never Be The Same | She shows her ability to write here with this heart tugging, uplifting ballad. Still don’t think it’s enough for her to break through though. (10/24) |
| Barrett, Kristal | Girl In A Car | Pleasantly surprised. Kristal has never sounded this good. Decent song. (9/5) |
| Bechamp, Debbie | You Could Have Done Better | A little rough…and noisy. (10/3) |
| Blake, Kenny | Reach The Top | Strange arrangement and production qualities. Does not sound country. (9/19) |
| Brandt, Paul (C) | Together Again | He does ballads and meaningful songs well. (10/10) |
| Brownlee, Chad (C) | Love Me or Leave Me | Everything is coming together for Chad and this song is another step up for him. (9/19) |
| Canyon, George (w/ Richard Marx) | When Love Is All You Got | Strong, however, ‘Sunshine’ is still going strong. I wouldn’t rush on this. (10/3) |
| Clark, Terri | The One | An anthem for many single people I’m sure. (10/17) |
| Dane, Marshall | About Last Night | Very strong song lyrically and melodically in the chorus. Great hook! (9/19) |
| Doc Walker (C) | Do It Right | Might be the best on the CD. (9/19) |
| Fisher, Genevieve | Why Don’t We Just Drive | I like her voice in this but the song is just ok. (10/17) |
| Fillmore, Shania | Dreams | (10/3) |
| Friends of Jack | Found | Nice harmonies in the chorus. I wish those harmonies were established earlier. (9/19) |
| Guy, Jackie | Right Where I Wanna Be | (10/17) |
| Hogan, Sean | Better Angels Prevail | Nice hook and message! I like the new edit without Bekka. (10/3) |
| Jetty Road | I’m A Dreamer | (9/19) |
| Kennedy, Tonya | Fallin’ For You | (10/3) |
| Kole, Lori | Caught Up In You | Nice vocals. OK song. (10/3) |
| Lewis, Aaron C | Wishing Well | Great hook! Catchy. This feels good. (10/24) |
| Lines, Aaron (C) | Sunday Afternoon | Feels good like a Sunday afternoon! (9/26) |
| MacLellan, Catherine | Stealin’ | (10/31) |
| Macumber, Josh | Tomorrow | (10/24) |
| Mathews, Jake | Might Take All Night | (10/31) |
| McCoy, Jason (C) | I’d Still Have Everything | (9/11) |
| McKitrick, Stacy | Friends For Life | It sounds rushed to me. Too busy vocally in the chorus. (9/26) |
| Morgan, Melanie | This Time of Year | That one Christmas line makes this song sound like a Christmas song. Even if it’s not…it’s too early for that line. (9/26) |
| Moritz, Craig | With You | Feel good melody and well written. (10/17) |
| Norman, James Keith | Take Time | (10/3) |
| Oram, Tara | Kiss Me When I Fall | (8/22) |
| Pritchett, Aaron | Coming Clean | (8/22) |
| Rayy, Nicole | She Don’t Know That Much | (10/17) |
| Ruttan, Deric (C) | She’s Like a Song | Deric has another well written song here. Solid hook. (9/5) |
| Semko, Jay | Party In The Parking Lot | (9/19) |
| Settlers Creek Band | This Town | It takes too long to go anywhere. (10/17) |
| Stever, Jamie | Here and Now | Not good enough to stand out in a very competitive release season. (9/19) |
| Tenille with John Landry | Home Now | I like her and she does a nice job of this but there have been too many songs like this in the past few years. (10/17) |
| Violet, Madison | If I Could Love You | Smooth female vocals. Like the melody and mood. (10/31) |
| Warren, Jamie | I Believe In You | Nice positive message…strong melody. (10/3) |
| Whyatt, Sabrina | Whiskey Woman | Decent performance. Not sure ‘Whiskey Woman’ is mass appeal. (10/3) |
| Wills, Bobby | I’m Willin’ | Good true country voice. With the success of his last single I’ll look at this one closely. (10/24) |
| Young, Shane | Little Miss Lexus | Not quite there. (10/17) |
| Yung, Samara | Everyday Matters | Too many lyrics that don’t impact me like maybe they should with a hook that leaves me trying too hard to get into it. (10./17) |
C) = Recommended
