A Look Back In 2012

Looking back in 2012 has been a wild ride in country music, country music fans all over go to their favorite sites for the latest news on their favorite artist and vote and request their favorite country songs. For the past couple of weeks I took over at +Country Music Chat ~ #CMchat+  to post on what are the songs of 2012, breakthrough artists of 2012 and more. You the country music fan keep busy year round and I'm paying homage to you the fan. Casey James fans have had a stellar year keeping up with the busy touring schedule Casey James has had, I say you are the light to Casey's growing career. Kip Moore fans are especially grateful, after all +Kip Moore has grown more popular with each single release, I'm talking about "Somethin' Bout A Truck" and "Beery Money" from his Up All Night Album, an album must have of 2012.  Country icon George Strait, what can I say, fans are crazy for him. You can't go wrong with a George Strait classic, I'm talking about "All My Exes Live In Texas" to " I Saw God Today". Many new artists emerged in 2012 and many who were gone for awhile came back in a big way. Gary Allan returned with a new album and a single made for the history books "Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain)", not only did fans see a huge transition in Allan, Gary himself took on material that will forever touch people.  +Toby Keith  took on America and on every day people. Toby brought his A game, released a slew of hits and a new album Hope On The Rocks. Toby's heart serves the all American and the USO.  I'm proud to American!!!
We can't count out our fellow female artists, Miranda Lambert, Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood were the most dominating female forces in 2012, Taylor Swift fans, Carrie fans did battle on the charts and in country radio along with Miranda fans, and well I must say +Reba McEntire  and +Dolly Parton served country music and their fans, from Dolly releasing her book Dream More Celebrate The Dreamer In You, an international tour, taking part in many projects and film, Joyful Noise to so much more. Reba wrapped up touring duties with George Strait, joined a number of festivals and began production on her new TV show Malibu Country. I say Reba and Dolly have had a fabulous 2012!! +Vince Gill and +Rascal Flatts fans were overcome with the achievements Vince and and the Flatts received, earning them stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame among touring throughout the year. So where does that leave our rising artists? Right here at Country Music City Promotions,some of the rising talent to come from Nashville or out of Nashville have been interviewed here, from +Shy Blakeman +Madonna Nash +Sarah Darling Maggie Rose, Taria and Alaska artist Doug Briney. Whether you're from the snow belts of Anchorage to North Carolina, Texas to Nashville country fans come from around the world.
