Hard to believe, but we’re almost halfway through December – the final month of 2013. Most of you are in the process of wrapping up your Christmas shopping, while some haven’t even started to make a dent in their lists. In Nashville, things are beginning to slow down just a little. But, there are still a few new songs being released. This week, we dig into the musical feast that is CDX 585….
Our “Jewel” of the disc belongs to a relative newcomer – Kelleigh Bannen. The EMI artist delivers a knockout punch with her new single, “Famous,” which very well could be a prediction of what lies just around the corner in 2014. Don’t be surprised….
Other top moments from 585 include…
“Doin’ What She Likes” – Blake Shelton – The reigning CMA Male Vocalist of the Year serves up another song that should have very strong appeal among his large fan base.
“The Mona Lisa” – Brad Paisley – Paisley speeds things up a bit with his fourth single from ‘Wheelhouse.’ It should make an easy pick for Music Directors across the country.
And, our “Hidden Gem” of CDX 585 belongs to an artist that keeps growing on us – Hannah Bethel. The Michigan native turns in her strongest performance yet with “Medicine,” a single she wrote and co-produced. Look for big things from Bethel in the coming year!
Well, I think I will go pop in Kenny & Dolly’s Once Upon A Christmas, pour me some boiled custard, and make my list for Ol’ Saint Nick! Who’s with me?
