For most songwriters it is being recognized for their writing and the artists who record the songs. In some cases songwriters become one's to watch not only for their musical ability to put words and pen to paper it is the voice that brings the song or songs a live on stage in front of an audience. Songwriter and entertainer Eric Paslay may have begun his journey writing  "Barefoot Blue Jean Night" a hit single recorded by Jake Owen
Eli Young Band's "Even If It Breaks Your Heart" to also penning  "The Good Life" for Donnie and Marie Osmond's new Vegas show, including Love and Theft's "Angel Eyes" and Joe Nichols "Baby Your In Love With Me". Paslay has co-written credits with artists Rose Falcon, Lady Antebellum to name among songwriters Dylan Altman and Terry Sawchuk.

It is Paslay's year making him one to watch of 2014, ready to debut his self titled album February 4,2014 featuring the 2013 hit single "Friday Night". Eric has written every track on this debut with the fine songwriters listed.

Paslay's most endearing quality is really taking account of the people he meets and making true honest connections. I say it is one quality I admire from a songwriter, artist, performer.Getting to know someone on that stand point is inspiring.

Lucy Hale Sums It Up During Country Music Chat with Jessica Northey





Pretty Little Liars star, rising country star of 2014 Lucy Hale was so well received during her first live twitter chat via Country Music Chat Monday Jan 6th was hard to stay a float through the hour long chat. Among community questions that entered the forum host Jessica Northey had special guest Bethany Priest of BethanyOnAir fill in through out the session.The community questions were much random and spur of the moment through out and though I tried to stay on top of it all I was able enough to grab all the direct CMchat questions from Jessica herself. Lucy truly comes into her own as real as she is smart, funny and down to earth.
