Danny Gokey Returns To Music With New Single Hope In Front of Me



It's been more than three years since country artist Danny Gokey has released new music, many know Gokey who rose to fame on season 8 of American Idol. Danny went on to release his first album  My Best Days Are Ahead of Me in 2010, the album's title track first single, My Best Days Are Ahead of Me sent Gokey on a whirl wind in country music. GAC, CMT, Music Row, Roughstock and Billboard hailed Danny as one of the top artists to watch that year. Through out 2010 Gokey not only had music and a second single  I Will Not Say Goodbye on his full plate he was continually active with his foundation Sophia's Heart who remains well aboard making a difference in the lives of those who live with congenital heart disease. It's sure fitting for Gokey who has a huge heart himself for others. Throughout 2011 and 2012 Gokey's focus was more than on music it was Sophia's Heart and taking fans and audiences around the world to become a spokesperson for his own line of glass wear. Danny released the single Second Hand Heart in 2011. In 2013 Danny's great purpose came calling when he set out on writing, soon Gokey was a published author of his own book Hope In Front of Me which brings us to 2014, new music on the horizon and a brand new single written and inspired of the book, Hope In Front of Me brings a sense of hope and purpose in the lives of others. The message so deep the pure conviction in Gokey's vocals radiate hope for everyone who has ever felt the need to give up. Danny's journey is flourishing in life with so much to gain.

Hope In Front of Me is available now on Amazon and iTunes

Substance Over Style In Country Music

Country music has it's diversity yet everyone has their thoughts and opinions on what country music is, it was no surprise to the number of fans, musicians mothers who joined the open conversation on twitter Sat. February 15th. Lovin' Lyrics Music Promotions Jennifer Smith began the conversation with nothing more than constructive criticism on what's getting played on country radio, the open topic had artist, musician Casey James' mom Debra James stating her rightful opinion, and rightfully so. Casey James fans who remain supportive continue to rise above what is getting played in the mixed up mashed up world of country radio. Where as Kellie Pickler fans stay afloat of all things in artist Kellie Pickler's continuing career, both Pickler and James poised, raw talent under played in country radio remains a mystery and as it seems to be with artists Maggie Rose, new comer Dylan Scott, Kristy Lee Cook, and independent artists Taria, Amy Rose, Jay Jolley and others who continue to work their craft of artistry and musicality. So where does this lead us to?, it is all down to the promotion of the artist and the fan bases who back them. Several radio stations are openly ready to give these artists air play, it remains among the team of the fan bases and country radio giving the artist their time to shine. what are your thoughts and opinions?

Country Music City Promotions and  Lovin' Lyrics Music Promotions are always looking forward to hearing them. Follow us on twitter

Eric Paslay NRA Featured Artist of The Month

Photo Credit: NRA



Eric Paslay is celebrating a #1 hit with "Friday Night" and a highly anticipated debut album release this week so it is perfectly fitting for Paslay to be NRA's featured artist of the month. Excited to get this music out to fans has been a long time coming for the songwriter and entertainer. A small town country boy Paslay is appreciative of all that is happening these days. He recalls always working, writing and just honing his skills as a writer. Every day people inspire him as I can relate. Everyone and everything inspire a writer, the diversity is endless. Paslay has written for several artists in country music and now with the tables turned a bit Eric is enjoying the spotlight but don't let that think he hasn't dreamed of making it on his own. The contentment Paslay shows is honest and real, a real small town boy making his dreams come true.
NRA is especially excited to feature Paslay as artist of the month and I can sure feel the excitement.

It was a night country fans won't forget, +Country Music Chat ~ #CMchat+  with special guest singer, songwriter, performer Eric Paslay who just made it to #1 on the charts with the first single from his self titled debut album, "Friday Night".Paslay is more than a songwriter, he sings who brings a sense of entertainment to the country music table.

Country Music Reigns The Grammy's

Of all award shows the Grammy's bring out the best of the best or the worst of the worst in all music genre's, so who sparkled and fizzled at the 56th annual Grammy Awards Sunday January 26th? Country music pulled the reigns,  the nights best performances came from country music itself, Keith Urban performing his newest single "Cop Car", Taylor Swift's performance of "All Too Well" received a standing ovation that left me applauding the young star, Swift's on stage presence and conviction was inviting to watch.  Icon country stars Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Merle Haggard and Blake Shelton giving audiences a traditional collaboration of "Mama's Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys" and "Okie From Muskokie". Miranda Lambert and Billy Joel Armstrong paid tribute to the late Phil Everly who passed earlier this past year performing "When Will I Be Loved". The big highlight came from Kacey Musgraves who gave a performance so proud country music is singing on.
Hunter Hayes may have just entered new territory performing a brand new song anyone of any age can relate to. The hits and misses of the Grammy's might have been a blur if you didn't catch them in the 3 hour live telecast.
The nights winners surprised me in more ways than any other predictable awards show. I can honestly say have never heard of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis who were the night's top winners, among "Royals" singer Lorde. Country music saved the Grammy's this year. Thank you Country music!
