Our GRAMMY Picks

RECORD OF THE YEAR

Blank Space
Taylor Swift

No one had a bigger year than Swift.  The vocals, lyrics, production, and video for "Blank Space" are all top shelf.

ALBUM OF THE YEAR

Traveller
Chris Stapleton

I think that the 58th GRAMMYS are going to be the year of the Stapleton, but I wouldn't be surprised if Girl Crush upseeded him in a few categories.

SONG OF THE YEAR

"Girl Crush" Hillary Lindsey, Lori McKenna & Liz Rose, songwriters (Little Big Town)

Would love to see Massachusetts native McKenna bring this one home!

BEST NEW ARTIST

Sam Hunt

Hunt had a meteoric rise in 2015.  I can't see this going to anyone else.  In fairness to the other nominees, I've only heard of two of them so maybe they're awesome.

BEST COUNTRY SOLO PERFORMANCE

Cam
"Burning House"

Love her, love this song, love the lyrics, love the video, love "Untamed".  Love.  Love.  Love. 

BEST COUNTRY DUO/GROUP PERFORMANCE

The Brothers Osborne
"Stay a Little Longer"

My favorite song of 2015.  I've listened to this no less than ten thousands times.  Wouldn't mind seeing it go to Joey + Rory either (and I'd guess, neither would TJ and John).  I've also been obsessed with "The Driver" lately.  

BEST COUNTRY SONG

"Traveller" Chris Stapleton 

One of the best of 2015.  Wouldn't be surprised to see Brandy Clark take this one either.  The GRAMMYS love an underdog.

BEST COUNTRY ALBUM

"Traveller" Chris Stapleton 

The year of the Stapleton.  Just like I said.  :)

The GRAMMYS will air on CBS at 8 ET on Monday, February 15th.

Charles Kelley releases debut album, "The Driver"

They say you get by with a little help from your friends.  That’s certainly true of Charles Kelley who worked with friends and family to produce his first solo project.  Kelley dialed up some exciting collaborations for his first single and title track, “The Driver” which he wrote along with Eric Paslay and Abe Stoklasa.  For recording the harmony rich track, Kelley was thrilled to bring in the unique, raw sound of Dierks Bentely to sing along with Kelley and Paslay.  The song has earned them a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance category.  

The project, which started out as a way to kill time before the next Lady Antebellum tour, is full of rich collaborations.  Legend Stevie Nicks lends her timeless voice in a fantastic rendition of Tom  Petty’s “Southern Accents”.  Kelley’s brother Josh Kelley co-wrote “Round in Circles” about two lovers that can’t quite get it right.  Miranda Lambert is featured on the sweet, “I Wish You Were Here” about life on the road.  The stripped down, “The Only One Who Gets Me” is a loving homage to wife Cassie.  The star of the album is the 9th track, “Leaving Nashville”, about the ups and downs of being a songwriter in Nashville.  It’s an intriguing look into the life of being an up-and-coming songwriter features piano and strings.  Overall, an impressive first solo effort from Kelley featuring more expansive, gritty vocals than some of his Lady Antebellum work.  

You can purchase The Driver from iTunes or Google Play.  Kelley will head out on "The Driver" tour with his brother Josh this spring.  You can catch him in Boston at the House of Blues on Monday, April 11th.

Texas native Ashliegh Lisset has a brand new single, "The Call" which was co-written with Lucy Hale, Zac Maloy and Michael Daley.  The song features strong vocals and catchy lyrics like, "I finally heard the phone ring and I could see that all the plans we made are coming true, the only problem is the call, it didn’t come from you."  Check out the fun, upbeat breakup tune about finding new love below.  You can download Ashliegh's single on iTunes.  Follow Ashliegh on:

Okay, this one isn't too new but is new to me!  Jacob Davis moved to Nashville to pursue his music dreams at the age of 23.  A Louisana native, Davis says he often finds his inspiration for songwriting in his home state.  Davis is currently on tour with Kelsea Ballerini.  Check out Davis' song, "Something to Remember You By", co-written with Matt Jenkins and Old Dominion's Trevor Rosen below.  You can check out more of Davis' music on iTunes.  Follow Jacob on:

Cam, Eric Paslay, and Brad Paisley "Crush It" at Mohegan Sun!

Brad Paisley brought his "Crushin' It" tour to Mohegan Sun Arena Sunday night.  The tour currently features Cam and Eric Paslay.   Cam played several songs off her new record, Untamed including her number 1 single, "Burning House" and new single, "Mayday".  

Eric Paslay gave us some insight into his new album which will be released later this year.  The highlight of his set for me was the energetic "High Class" single as well as when he welcomed Cam back out the stage for a duet off his new album titled, "Taking My Heartbeat Higher". 

Brad Paisley was one of the artists that originally sparked my interest in country music circa 2004 with love songs like "Little Moments" as well as traditional country songs like "Mud on the Tires" and the beautifully melancholic duet with Alison Krauss, "Whiskey Lullaby".  His set list on Saturday night did not disappoint as he covered both old classics as well as newer tracks like "This is Country Music" and  "Riverbank".  The highlight of the show, for me, was when he had Cam join him back on stage for a haunting "Whiskey Lullaby".  The real treat to seeing Paisley live is, and has always been, watching (and listening) to him play guitar.  He has one of the best in the business and puts on an incredible show with something for everyone.  

The tour, which extends through September, will return with stops at the Xfinity Centers in both Hartford, CT (6/25) and Mansfield, MA (9/24).  Summer dates will include openers Tyler Farr and Maddie & Tae.  Tickets are currently available through Live Nation's Megaticket.  For more information on the Megaticket, click here.  Individual summer tickets go on sale at a later date.
