  • John Michael Montgomery Cut By Cut

    "What Did I Do" (Jamey Johnson, George Teren) -- That song is just cool as hell. It has real personality. There've been many times I've walked around on my bad days when I think, "How did I get myself into this or out of that, and how did I get here in the first place?" Sometimes it's hard to believe I have what I have, and this is just a cool song that deals with that.

  • Jimmy Wayne: Do You Believe Me Now

    Do You Believe Me Now is the next step in Jimmy’s evolution as an artist. Time on the road has made his voice even stronger and more seasoned. Interaction with the fans has heightened his awareness of what an audience wants when they come to a show. Thus the new album is teeming with up tempo tracks. Jimmy has grown as a songwriter and with maturity comes a broader view of life that informs his music. While his first album was an intensely personal, almost cathartic collection, Jimmy’s new songs tend to explore more universal themes, yet still maintain inspiration from an intensely personal place.
