Casey James releases new single

Wednesday, June 13, 2012 – Casey James is releasing his new single Crying On A Suitcase to radio. This is the follow-up to his Top 20 debut single, Let's Don't Call It A Night from his self-titled debut album.

"I'm excited that Crying On A Suitcase is my new single," James said. "This song is so intense and emotional. The idea of someone right on the verge of losing their loved one, and doing everything to keep it from happening. Who hasn't been there?"

James' self-titled album debuted at number 2 on the Billboard Country Album Chart upon its release. He co-wrote 9 of the 11 tracks including the single.

Concert Review: Steve Earle doesn't rest (on laurels) – If you didn't realize Steve Earle had a new disc out, "The Low Highway," it would have been no problem realizing that quite and quickly.

Concert Review: The Howlin' Brothers leave the radar behind – The Howlin' Brothers - this trio, in reality, contains no brothers - are about eight years into their career and on their fifth album. To say they've been under the radar screen may be an understatement. You couldn't even say they've been flying under that screen because they have stuck very close to their Nashville environs.... »»»

It's about time for Willis, Robison Some folks listening to Kelly Willis and Bruce Robison's new duet album, "Cheaters Game," may well exclaim, 'Well, it's about time!' after finally hearing these two talented country singer/songwriters recording music as a pair for the first time. Willis has built quite a following for her independently-minded feminine perspective, while Robison has written hits for the Dixie Chicks (Travelin' Soldier) and Tim McGraw and Faith Hill (Angry All the Time), as well as penning the ultimate Willie Nelson tribute, What Would Willie Do? and recording it as a solo act. ... »»»
