Country Music City Promotions Albums of 2011


 
Dolly Parton "Better Day"
Infused of traditional country music through and through from the prolific singer/songwriter. All 12 tracks were written by Parton,each song leaps off by bounds of joy,happiness and positivity. The album truly shows us Dolly Parton's true self. Each track specifically will have you listening wide open. The first track "In The Mean Time" makes the album what it is to it's powerful track and single "Together You & I". The iconic Parton is really all that and more on the track that best describes her best "Country Is As Country Does". There's a whole lot of country going on! Enjoy the ride!
 












Luke Bryan "Tailgates & Tanlines"
 From the big hit "Country Girl (Shake It For Me)" to "I Don't Want This Night To End" , Tailgates & Tanlines" hits all the right notes giving this album real country flare and appeal. Luke Bryan's southern twang will have you're heart melting on tracks such as "I Knew You That Way" and "I Know You're Gonna Be There" giving you the tender,compassionate side of Luke Bryan. Other tracks on the album include "You Don't Know Jack" and "Harvest Time" that which describe Bryan as the most genuine down to earth guy who grew up in rurual Georgia.  Luke Bryan is no flash in the pan, he gives his fans his heart and it shows on "Taligates & Tanlines".



Sunny Sweeney "Concrete"    
 A force to be reckoned with, Sunny Sweeney, the raw and true gritty voice sums up this album. A new comer to the Nashville scene in 2011 came from Longview, Texas. The play hard work hard kind of gal has it going for herself and this album shows it from the first hit single "From A Table Away" to the latest single "Drink Myself Single". Sunny may be all sunshine and smiles,but don't let that fool you, this new country goddess is good as golden and is proven to stick around in country music.



Vince Gill "Guitar Slinger"  
 It's not country music without Vince Gill, the blues, country christian roots make the man, a true humanitarian. "Threaten Me With Heaven" will have you singing praises to the darkened trouble of "Billy Paul" in which Vince's youngest daughter joins in, in chorus. "The Lady Sings The Blues" is without a doubt contagious,infectous and just might have you singing the blues. The lead off track Guitar Slinger sets the album as Gill's biggest album to date. Vince Gill fans will fall in love all over again on this album. Music hasn't died and Vince Gill is still on the journey in over more than a decade in country music.


On her 11th studio album Martina McBride truly soars on "One Night" which opens the album beautifully,taking you on a romantic joyful ride to the most stiring life lessons which McBride is no stranger to. The hit single "I'm Gonna Love You Through It" is just that in which navigates those who deal and live with cancer. I'm a strong believer anyone can over achieve and survive the obstacles. In "Teenage Daughters" McBride describes best teenagers will be just teenagers in any scenario. The album doesn't stop there,on the track "Marry Me" featuring Train's Pat Monahan, man meets woman, it's that feeling of falling in love at first sight making you feel absolutely beautiful inside and out. Martina McBride isn't slowing down,and eleven proves to be her best album to date. The album will simply have you singing along without skipping a single track,it's that well produced musically,visually and artistically.
