We welcome back one of our most popular country singers, James Lann, who indulges us with a classic steel guitar driven country shuffle called “Honky Tonk Two-Step Queen.”
James Lann, “You’re From The Country Too”
Mar 6, 2012 6:00 AM by Michael Verity
A true-to-life cowboy who grew up on a cattle ranch in the Southwest, James Lann‘s songwriting is 100% genuine, born of his experience roping steers and mending fences.
Art Chapman, “I Sang Dixie”
Feb 28, 2012 6:00 AM by Staff
It’s not just Art Chapman‘s mustache, hat, and facial features that remind us of Marty Robbins, but also his easy, warm voice and the gently rolling, late-summer country flavor of his song “I Sang Dixie.”
Possum Jenkins, “Beside The Pines”
Feb 17, 2012 6:00 AM by Staff
A healthy North Carolina twang runs through the music of Possum Jenkins, a quintet whose members hail from Winston-Salem and Boone, and who play a gritty version of barroom honky-tonk (or, you might say, a countrified version of hillbilly rock ‘n roll). However you categorize it, the music is heady, thick, tasty, and will keep you howling long into the night.
Trace Adkins, “Million Dollar View (Live)”

One of country music’s great traditionalists, Trace Adkins has carried the torch for old-school country during the recent times of trendy pop-country. Mixing elements of honky-tonk, gospel, blues and rock, Adkins has stood tall with his own style, refusing to bend to whatever new fad comes along.

Spotlight On Country Music Month
Oct 3, 2011 6:00 AM by Kurt Wolff
Did you know that October is Country Music Month? It was first designated back in 1964 by the Country Music Association to celebrate the heritage of the music, the Grand Ole Opry, and the annual CMA awards, which–guess what–also traditionally happen in October or November (this year it’s Nov. 9). A not-so-strange coincidence, perhaps–but whatever the origin, it’s a good excuse to dig deep into the world of country music, including surfacing some great free country music downloads on MP3.com.
Merle Haggard, “Working in Tennessee”
Sep 7, 2011 6:00 AM by Michael Verity
For many people, the word “country” starts with the letter “c”. Where we come from it starts with a capital “M” and is spelled “M-E-R-L-E.”
The original outlaw has a new one coming out next month and the nice people at Vanguard are sharing the title cut for free.
Mark McKinney, “Comfortable in This Skin”
Jul 23, 2011 6:00 AM by Staff
Big Springs, Texas native Mark McKinney writes high-energy country songs with a big rock beat that you’ll want to crank up loud on Friday night. And then probably again on Saturday night, too. “Comfortable in This Skin” is from McKinney’s debut album Get It On, which is, in his own words, “a journey through the mind of a Southern man.”
