Tim McGraw's "Emotional Traffic Tour"

McGraw's "Southern Voice Tour" was one of the best tours we have seen from not only him but other acts in the last few years. He follows up his successful tour with the new "Emotional Traffic Tour" set to kickoff on March 7, 2011 in Houston, Texas.  Touring with Tim McGraw will be Luke Bryan and The Band Perry. While concert dates are only set up to May at this point, I expect them to be extended well into the summer and perhaps to the end of the year.  For updates on tour dates and to buy tickets visit Tim McGraw's website.
With this new tour, I anticipate a brand new album to be announced or released soon as well, but that is just speculation and my wanting some new music from him. Meanwhile, we will have to enjoy his latest hit "Felt Good On My Lips".

I look forward to this tour and I hope to hear his southern voice in a city near me.

2011

It's a new year and I want to thank everyone who has followed this site so far.  Country music fans from so many countries follow my blog and I just want to say thanks and wish everybody a great new year! Now, let's see what great music and events 2011 has in store!

Have a great 2011!!

Holiday Music

So it's that time of year again and I'm sure everyone is excited for the holiday season.  If you want to go out there and listen to some holiday music let me give you some suggestions
George Strait's "Classic Christmas"
Taylor Swift's "Holiday Collection"
Alan Jackson's "Let It Be Christmas"
Kenny Chesney's "All I want For Christmas Is A Real Good Tan"
Faith Hills' "Joy to the World" (one of my favorite Christmas albums)
Joe Nichols' "A Traditional Christmas"

If you want to listen to the traditional Christmas music then I would say go with the Alan Jackson, Faith Hill, and George Strait album's.  For a more unique or country sound try the other ones.

Hope you enjoy!

"Somewhere With You"-Kenny Chesney

It's been out for a couple weeks and the fans seem to love his newest single called "Somewhere With You".  Chesney's latest single is climbing country charts and does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon.  Why would it? It's an awesome song that is great to listen to!  I think this might be his next number one. A few posts ago, i said any song off his "Hemingway's Whiskey" album could be a single and this is a prime example of that.  Albums often have good songs and some not-so-great songs, but this one is full of good songs without a single bad one.  I know it's a little early to be predicting his next single after "Somewhere With You" but I think it will be either "Round and Round" or "Reality".  "Somewhere with You" gets a thumbs up.

"Definitive Hits" by Trace Adkins

I recently bought this compilation of hits and needless to say it is great! Trace's hits, execpt hi most recent called "This Ain't No Love Song", is on it.  In this 2-pack hits collection, trace shows why his career is as strong as his voice.  From the nineties hits to this decade's, Trace's songs all have a genuine country sound and story to them from the romantic and heartbroke songs to the "twangy thing, and hillbilly thing", this has it all.  I really enjoyed this package and if you are a country fan then there is a good chance you will to.  Good job Trace Adkins.

"Number One Hits" by Tim McGraw

Tim McGraw is once again set to release yet another hits compilation.  For those who do not have his other hits compilations (Greatest Hits, Greatest Hits Vol. 2, Greatest Hits Vol. 3) then i think this might be a good package for you.  However, if you are one of those that has two or more of his other hits compilations, like I do, then I do not think this would be a smart purchase.  There is only one new song on this new package and there are fewer songs than the other three hits cds put together.  Tim is one of my favorite artists, after George Strait and Alan Jackson, but i think he needs to lay off the whole releasing a new hits compilation after every new studio album.  He needs to let the fans catch up and savor the music already out there and he needs to have more hits so he can have hits compilations that get longer (like George Strait's and Alan Jackson's), instead of taking older hits off to add newer hits like Southern Voice, he should have a longer list of hits on them.  Overall, this of course has great music on it from a couple years ago and some more recent material, but not enough.  Maybe a 5o Number Ones like George Strait's released about five years ago would be better.  Like I said I am a huge Tim MgCraw fan but he needs to add more hits and lay off the hits compilations for a few years.
