(2/6)
|
The Abrams Brothers
|
While You Sleep
|
(1/16)
|
Bellamy, Clayton
|
Everyone’s A Dreamer
|
I thought he sounded tougher than this. Average.
(1/2)
|
Bamford, Gord (C)
|
Is It Friday Yet?
|
First release with Sony. Could be a new anthem. (1/2)
|
Barrett, Kristal
|
A Wheel’s Gotta Roll
|
If there’s any classic country stations looking
for new cancon that sounds like it’s from the late 80’s early 90’s this might
work! Sounds pretty good. (2/19)
|
Brandt, Paul
|
You
|
I’m struggling with his super low vocal to
start. The rocker in me loves the
noise and screaming guitars but not sure country’s core will. ‘Together Again’ isn’t really done yet I
don’t think at radio. I need more
listens. (2/06)
|
Brody, Dean (C)
|
Canadian Girls
|
It’s just fun.(1/30)

Everything To Me

A song that became a lullaby for her new baby
girl. Pretty easy to listen to with
her soft vocal approach and a solid hook and melody. (1/9)

One More Girl (C)
|
Maybe
|
I love female pop/new country just as much as I
do male traditional country. Will
country P1’s share my acceptance of both sides of country music as
freely? Love their sound and the
melody and hook. Slick. (1/9)

Nice debut. Nothing special
though. (1/2)

Everything about this just works for me - the hook,
melody, lyrics and Aaron's vocals. His best in a long time! (1/23)
