Casey James Room To Breathe On New Music

All Rights Reserved, Courtesy of 19/Columbia Nashville

It's been more than two years since his debut album now Casey James readies a new album and a new direction in his life as a person,  musician,artist and entertainer. One shouldn't pigeon hole James who's much more than just a  singer song writer. The growth and maturity shows in his style and artistry. The first single release on the highly anticipated sophomore album yet to be announced, "Fall Apart" was a song he heard from his producer. Written by Zach and Josh Carter of KINGSTON along with Will Bowden came about on inspiration in an earlier interview with KINGSTON ( see KINGSTON interview on the next page) James was so intent on having the song as it resonated with him. One who has heard "Fall Apart" the lyrics ring true to moving on from a broken heart or torn relationship. Several can relate.
Currently on a state to state radio tour James previews new material, one song that will appear on the soon to be album "Living Room" has a bluesy,southern country vibe. Again it's eminent on the direction James takes  lyrically and musically in either choosing material or writing his own. In the two plus years Casey's views have changed yet when it comes down to it he's the same person he was just 5 years ago on the indicated reality TV music competition American Idol, James third place finish was just the beginning of a career fans knew early on. As myself saw much more than a musician, someone who's faced adversity and the growing challenges men his age deal with, it's human nature, and clearly Casey has risen above it all in faith. What more can be is the sense of humor and not taking himself so seriously as he recently sat down with Big D and Bubba In The Morning Show Monday March 30th, the day "Fall Apart" impacted radio. Casey discussed a number of topics and one on a friend recommending a supplement he should try, he explains "Not only does this green concoction smell like grass it tastes like it. This is cows food, not something any human should drink, so I tried it," he laughs. D and Bubba simultaneously burst saying, "maybe it came from cow stock." Laughing as I did thought, okay here is country music's biggest Goobers in one room having just a good ole time. Nothing wrong with it either making the morning show that much better. James brings up to discussion the process a bit on this album which was clearly getting it right, all that he has gone through in these past two years to get this album together. "The growing up I did to where I am now is in this music", he explained. James is so excited fans are bursting at the seams to when the album will be complete and ready to hear in it's entirety. From radio station to radio station to fan chats, Q & A's Casey's itching to hit the road more in 2015, and already have several shows coming up in the next few months.

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 Radio and Casey James

Casey James is having the good life these days, we owe American Idol for it and although Casey placed 3rd I'm not hearing any complaints, anyone and everyone know it's not all based on winning the title of American Idol. Casey is truly grateful for the opportunities given to him. I'm absolutely proud to celebrate,as you the fans are as well celebrating the release of Casey's debut album this week. In light of the release of the album Casey's promoting the music and from what I'm hearing it's an album worth having,expect to see an album review later this week. What a better way to promote the album visiting radio, after all that's where the magic begins. James' recent radio appearances can be seen right here online,today's technology still astounds me.
