Never has a single better represented an artist's album than 'Cruise' does for Florida Georgia Line's 'Here's to the Good Times.' Thick production, heavy guitarwork and big fat hooks define the 11 songs -- six of which were written by Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard.
December 3, 2012 Well Merle and Daryl are finally reunited! The Governor lost an eye, Oscar who we barely knew died, a surprise appearance from Shane (WHAT?!), Carol isn't a lesbian, and fresh blood in the prison. Who else can't wait until February?
November 29, 2012 Here's a recap and thoughts about last night's episode of Nashville for you. It includes Coleman finally getting down into the dirt with politics, two divas coming together... somewhat, and some continuing interesting relationships. Oh boy, the drama!
Tim McGraw could make a pretty strong Christmas album if he chose to do so. His new release 'Mary and Joseph' is a creative -- but not too creative -- interpretation of the story of Jesus' birth. McGraw tells it like he's told the best stories of his two decade-long career, with a sweet reverence for the struggles his characters are living through.
LeAnn Rimes might be making some of the best music of her life, but songs like her new single 'Borrowed' won't help her threadbare tie to radio. The first single from her upcoming 'Spitfire' album tells the story of the early days of her romance with Eddie Cibrian. A more caustic subject may not exist.
November 26, 2012 For lunch today I tried McDonald's new CBO Sandwich which stands for cheddar bacon onion. It was somewhat the more healthy option compared to the Angus Third Pounder. The crispy chicken is 630 calories, compared to the Angus beef which is 790 calories. Here's how the sandwich scored based on my criteria.
November 26, 2012 "When The Dead Come Knocking" episode brought some interesting elements and set up the scene for a killer mid season finale next week. We also learned what Milton's experiment was, and we are ever so close to a brotherly reunion.
Kix Brooks takes a trip back to Lake Bistineau in his new semi-autobiographical single 'Moonshine Road.' The singer says the cut is based on a spot he and his trouble-making friends would take to at night. The steam is still fresh on this swampy, country-blues cut. Memories of his Moonshine Road aren't thick with moss, even though it's been a few decades since those hell-raising years.
In 'Party Like Cowboyz,' Big and Rich once again become the wild-eyed, brash, cowboy rockers that originally attracted so many fans to their diesel-powered style when they debuted in 2003. No one is going to accuse John Rich and Big Kenny of excessive versatility, but they do what they do with genuine conviction and passion.
November 19, 2012 Last night things picked back up again in The Walking Dead. After episode 4 where all the crazy, heart pounding, gut wrenching action took place, episode 5 seemed a little slow and dragged a bit. You have to expect that, because you can't have an episode 4 every week if you know what I mean. Still Ep. 6 "Hounded" gave us enough to chew on and then some until next Sunday. Let's start with good ol' Merle.
Aaron Lewis seems capable of landing a country music hit, if he'd only quit looking inward and begin looking outward. The longtime rocker's outlaw sensibilities and genuine love of the country lifestyle resonated with fans on 'Country Boy,' his most successful solo single to date. On 'Forever,' we hear all about the struggles of life on the road. The story is hardly something the average fan can attach themselves to.
November 16, 2012 Yesterday I had a craving for a burger. So for lunch I went out to Burger King and saw the big flyer on the drive up window for the Wisconsin White Cheddar Whopper. What the heck, I'll try it! So I've come up with a scoring system for food
