Lynch, Block, Nichols, Cactus Blossoms present new releases
Mercury Nashville recording artist and 2022 ACM Awards "New Female Artist of the Year" nominee, Priscilla Block, put out her major label debut album, "Welcome To The Block Party." Block, a North Carolina native, gained a foothold with her single "Just About Over You." The release follows last year's six-song self-titled "Priscilla Block EP," which included the novelty song "Thick Thighs."
The Cactus Blossoms - brothers Page Burkum and Jack Torrey - return with "One Day." The new disc is said to be more soulful, '70s-inspired than previous efforts. Among the 10 songs is the next single, "Everybody," featuring Jenny Lewis.
Veteran singer Joe Nichols is out on a new label (Quartz Hill) with "Good Day For Living." His first new full-length project in four years, the 13-song collection reunites Nichols with producers Mickey Jack Cones and Derek George, who helmed his 2013 album "Crickets," containing back-to-back number one hits "Sunny and 75" and "Yeah." Cones also produced Nichols' follow-up album, "Never Gets Old."

CD reviews for Dustin Lynch
Dustin Lynch has made his bones on songs depicting small town life. It's only fitting that he would eventually make an album devoted solely to what he knows best. He calls "Tullahoma" a concept album. If you're thinking in the vein of "The Wall" or "Tommy," you're in for a disappointment. It's really an exercise in Country 101.
He said, "The concept was, 'Let's write songs, let's record songs that the fictional small-town boy ...
Like a lot of 'country' releases these days, Dustin Lynch's "Current Mood" includes a few songs that - if their quality had been duplicated throughout - would have made for one fine album. The ballad, "Love Me or Leave Me Alone," which also features Karen Fairchild (of Little Big Town), is a powerfully memorable song. It's followed by "Back on It" which, with its love/addiction analogy (although already done many times before) is nevertheless ...
Dustin Lynch is a throwback on his sophomore release thanks to the good-looking Tennessee native sporting a straw cowboy hat, Now that's something you don't see these days unless you happen to be King George Strait. Instead, the hat acts of yesteryear - the moniker, in reality, was a dig at those who were part of the same milk toast country sounds that were being put out in the '90s - traded them in for baseball caps.
Lynch is yet another in the seemingly endless line these days, ...
