Shelton, Lady A top new releases

Tuesday, September 30, 2014 – With both Blake Shelton and Lady Antebellum releasing new music on Tuesday, this was one of the busiest days of the year.

Shelton is out with "Bringing Back the Sunshine." The 12-song collection includes the single "Neon Light." Ashley Monroe helps out on "Lonely Tonight," while RaeLynn is on "Buzzin'."

Lady Antebellum's "747" features the hit single "Bartender." The disc from the trio contains 11 songs. This is the band's fifth album.

Marty Stuart and his backing band, the Fabulous Superlatives, are out with a double CD, "Saturday Night/Sunday Morning." As the title suggests, one disc contains religious-themed songs, while the other is about what goes down on Saturday nights.

Lucinda Williams puts out "Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone," also a two-CD set, on her own label. The disc was produced by Tom Overby, Greg Leisz and Williams with 20 songs on the release.

Ricky Skaggs and wife Sharon White get together for their first album together, "Hearts Like Ours." The pair co-produced the 13-song set. Songs include Connie Smith and Marty Stuart's "I Run to You" and "Hearts Like Ours" and "No Doubt About It" from Seth Justman and Peter Wolf of J. Geils.

Hot Rize last released a disc 24 years ago. But the bluegrassers return with "When I'm Free." The band consists of Nick Forster, Tim O'Brien, Bryan Sutton and Pete Wernick.

Ohio bluegrass band Joe Mullins & The Radio Ramblers release "Another Day From Life," the band's fourth studio release. This is the first to feature guitarist/lead singer Duane Sparks.

Folk/rootsy singer Pieta Brown puts out "Paradise Outlaw" on Red House.

It's a rollicking ode to domesticity that manages to make household chore distribution ("You find the spot and I'll find the money / You be the pretty and I'll be the funny") both romantic and amusing. The beat switches to hip-hop on "Money," but the sentiment ...
CD review - Live EP This six-song "Blake Shelton Live EP" seems a little odd. It's not as though Shelton had an especially noteworthy tour to document. Besides, at only six songs long, it's a relatively short document, anyhow. While it may be little more than a post-it note of a project, though, it also packs a powerful punch. You recognize right away the large amount of enthusiasm the act of singing to an audience brings out of Shelton. When compared to the recorded versions of these hits, ...
