Bare, Ford, Lynne, Doleac, Burch drop new sounds (sort of)
Colt Ford also goes back - to his 2010 release "Chicken and Biscuits." "He's now out with Chicken And Biscuits (Second Helping)," an expanded version of his sophomore release. The 20-song collection contains six new tracks with remixes and live versions of other songs. Included are Ford's breakthrough love song, "Chicken and Biscuits" with James Otto; the rocking party anthem, "Hey Ya'll" featuring Randy Houser; "Cricket On A Line" featuring Rhett Akins; and "Hip Hop in a Honky Tonk" with Kevin Fowler.
Shelby Lynne released her first disc in five years, a self-titled affair with the emphasis on her voice. The songs tend to be spare musically and on the heavy side.
Adam Doleac makes his label debut with "Famous," a six-song EP. The release was co-produced by Jason Gantt ("SOLO"), Lindsay Rimes ("Whiskey's Fine") and Andy Skib ("Famous," "I Choose Lonely," "Mom and Daddy's Money"). The Hattiesburg, Miss. native received a scholarship to the University of Southern Mississippi where he not only played baseball, but wrote songs with his teammates and learned to play guitar. After he began playing hometown gigs, Doleac posted a performance of one of his songs on YouTube. The visual caught the attention of Sony/ATV Music Publishing. Doleac has co-penned songs recorded by Kane Brown, Darius Rucker, and Hootie and the Blowfish.
Veteran singer Paul Burch is back with the WPA Ballclub for "Light Sensitive," which he recorded in Nashville. While Burch has recorded more straightahead country discs, "Light Sensitive" is multi-genre and more in the Americana potpourri. Luther Dickinson, Robyn Hitchcock, Amy Rigby and Aaron Lee Tasjan guest on the 12-song release.
