Top 9 Top Picks from August 2005
There are new albums coming out all the time. We've picked several of the best country album releases from August 2005
1. Faith Hill - Fireflies
This album is all I've been waiting for and far more than I expected. Faith has once again out done herself with this album. There isn't a song on it that I don't like. Faith's sixth album and she does an incredible job on all the songs. There are some great ballads and a special Duet with husband Tim. One you won't want to miss adding to your collection of country CD's. Plug it into your cd player in your car and right off "Sunshine and Summertime" comes on, and you are good to go.More »2. The Warren Brothers - Barely Famous Hits
The Warren Brothers have persevered through many more ups and downs than most bands and have lived through it to tell their tales on their show ?Barely Famous.? This CD is their collection of ?Greatest Hits? and it?s a very good one at that. Do yourself a favor and give the Warren Brothers a shot. You?ll be glad you did.More »3. Willie Nelson - Countryman
While ?Countryman? sat on the shelf at Island Records for 10 years, there are plenty enjoyable moments to recommend it to fans of Willie and Reggae. It?s neither Willie?s best album nor is it his worst.More »4. Rodney Crowell - The Outsider
Rodney Crowell is probably one of the finest singer/songwriters in Americana and country music. He's related by marriage into the greatest country music dynasty of all time (he was married to Rosanne Cash), and he's written songs for everyone from Waylon Jennings to Tim McGraw, but above all else, his songs have to them an ethereal, otherworld quality that makes them transcend mere genre boundaries and reach into the very depth of the soul.More »5. Brad Paisley - Time Well Wasted
I'm just about willing to grant Brad Paisley the crown as today's king of feel-good real country music. His songs are chipper, cheerful, fun to listen to, and always so very true to the heart of country music you cannot argue there's any lack of grit. This stuff is so country it's out in the field chewing on a straw. Not to say he can't and doesn't touch the heart. Brad's new disc is just as warm and wonderful as his first ones were: fun, sweet, and real.More »6. Hanna-McEuen - Hanna-McEuen
The legend and the legacy that began with the 'Nitty Gritty Dirt Band' 30 years ago continues with the music of Hanna-McEuen.More »7. Neal McCoy - That's Life
Neal McCoy is a talented and dynamic performer. This album is a real treat and well worth the wait. It is the first release on Neal's new label 903 Music, and is packed with great music. Bottom line is that it is an excellent album, and would make a great addition to any collection.More »8. Trick Pony - R.I.D.E.
The third album from Trick Pony proves they are here to stay. The talented trio continue to perform songs that they have written or co-written and do so with great success. They can sing some great Rockabilly or hold their own with a haunting ballad. All three sing lead with equal ease and talent. This is a great album.More »9. Brooks & Dunn - Hillbilly Deluxe
With 'Hillbilly Deluxe,' Brooks & Dunn continue their strong honky tonk heritage. It is an album full of good country music, the kind you find in the local country bar. The album is solid and one that any country fan would enjoy in their collection.More »
