David Nail - I'm A Fire (2014)

David Nail - I'm A Fire (2014) 

This third album from sports-loving, Missouri-born country music star David Nail follows his 2011-released The Sound of a Million Dreams. Just as on that record, Texan Frank Liddell contributed to the production of I'm a Fire, and here he is assisted by Mark Knopfler collaborators Chuck Ainlay and Glenn Worf. The number one Billboard Country Airplay single "Whatever She's Got" opens the proceedings, while a duet with Lee Ann Womack on the classic Jimmy Webb-penned "Galveston" closes the album.


Jenna Torres - A Womans Touch (2014

Jenna Torres - A Womans Touch (2014)



Hailing from the Big Apple, you might not exactly have Jenna Torres that high atop a list of potential Country Music singers, but that’s the magic that sometimes comes from a place that you’re not expecting. Torres definitely delivers on her latest release, serving notice to the musical world that she is a force to be reckoned with.
Whether it be a power ballad or a up-tempo rocker, Torres succeeds quite often on A Woman’s Touch, with each cut showcasing a different layer or aspect to her vocal talents. Among the former, some of the strongest performances come on the evocative and passionate “That’s The Kind Of Love,” which describes in beautiful detail the kind of relationship we’d all like to have. She turns breathy and seductive on “One Good Outlaw,” and knocks one out of the ballpark on the appealing “Man In A Cage.”
But, Torres can also turn up the tempo, as well. She does this to nice effect on the exciting title cut, as well as recent single “22.” Al in all, she has assembled quite a collection on this album – one that we hope will garner some well-deserved attention. Write down the name, folks. You’re going to be hearing it a lot!
