Now & Then, Nippit Records (Aaron Tippin) Aaron's new project contains his usual country-boy charm and gives the country genre a revival with his signature-style. The new single-'He Believed' has a nice positve message along with a catchy up-beat hook. Aaron proves he is an old pro making his come-back since his last hit-'Kiss This', which gave him more radio success while competeing with today's young stars. The album also gives his past hits-'Working Man's Ph.D.', and 'My Blue Angel'. His music is available through the Cracker Barrel stores which you can order online at- www.crackerbarrel.com.

Hearts of Time, indie (Eileen Carey) New female vocalist, Eileen Carey, is musically an acquired taste; her folksy vocals are different from other artists' refined productions. She stretches the country boundaries, which could prevent her from receiving airplay. Her vocals sound the most comfurtable on the song-'Lazy'. I could see her doing better with more folk-type music rather than the electric sound she has on this project. But her music is original with nice arrangements, and available at- www.eileencarey.com.

Hicotine, Valhalla Music/SS Mack (Jason Matthews) Indie country rocker gives a brand with his music, as shown on his album cover. His Southern rock appeal and clever lyrics as in-'Make Sure You Get My Name Right' give him the distinctive sound to stand out. His recent single-'Hicotine' combines that rocker-style with country's format. The music can be heard at- www.myspace.com/patrickjasonmatthews.

Wake Me, Lick records (Jonalee White) Jonalee has nice country vocals with her latest project. Her last single-'Sunday Paper' fits her down-home sound, but her slow song-'I Break' showcases her traditional country strength. She resembles past Country greats such as Loretta or Tammy with her music, and she should do well for those fans who love Reba and such traditionalist. Her music is available at- www.myspace.com/jonaleewhite.

Planet California, indie (Mike Lounibos) Southern Californian adds some cajun-music feel with his first track-'Dance Little JoJo'. Mike has fun with his production's arrangements such as his strongest radio song-'Something In Your Eyes'. Mike's tenor vocals and care-free singles remind me a little of past male vocalist-Paul Brandt. His tracks are pretty well produced for his indie project and available at- www.mikelounibos.com.
