It was #1 for the last five weeks of 1977, becoming her biggest hit.

James Otto Releases New “Somewhere Tonight” EP Today, July 24
Three-Track EP Marks First New Music With Blaster Records - Soulful singer and perennial hit-maker James Otto has released a new EP today centered around his infectious and energetic current single “Somewhere Tonight.” The EP marks the first release for Otto on Blaster Records, who announced their signing of the artist last month. In addition to the single, the three-song EP features another brand new track, “Back It Up” as well as Otto’s take on the Bob Seger classic “Night Moves,” a long-time crowd favorite from his live shows. “Somewhere Tonight,” written by Otto with Corey Crowder, JT Hodges, Patrick Davis and James Slater, recently cracked the Top 5 on SiriusXM’s The Highway Hot 45 and has just been shipped to monitored country radio by Blaster. The EP is available on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play and all other leading digital outlets.
“It feels great to be putting new music out there,” says Otto. “I’ve been really focused on my writing for the last couple of years. Some great friends have cut a bunch of those songs but it’s really exciting to put out a few of them myself.”

Hayes Carll said he would return to the recording studio in September with an album slated to be released next winter. Carll said following the conclusion of a residency at The Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, Mass. that he would record with Joe Henry at a studio in Los Angeles. This will be Carll's first disc since 2011's "Trouble in Mind" and his fifth disc overall. Carll, 39, said he thought he had an album's worth of songs already, but indicated he had more writing ahead for this album. "I've got work to do," he said. Carll said he expected the new batch of material to be released in "February or March" 2016. Carll previously had been on the Lost Highway Records label, but said he would release this through Thirty Tigers, the Nashville-based distribution, marketing and sometimes record label. Source

Levon Helm's Daughter Amy Helm Releases New Album, Didn't It Rain
Artist: Amy Helm Album: Didn't It Rain Label: eOne Music Release date: 7/24/15
"I'm just trying to tell some stories as honestly as I can," Amy Helm says of Didn't It Rain, her first solo album and her eOne Music debut.
Although the rootsy Didn't It Rain is her first release under her own name, Amy Helm has been making music for most of her life. She's already won widespread praise as a singer, songwriter and live performer, first as a member of the celebrated alt-country collective Ollabelle and subsequently for her extensive work with her father, musical icon Levon Helm, who passed away in 2012.
Didn't It Rain marks the final recording sessions of Levon Helm, who acted as the project's executive producer as well as adding his unmistakable drumming on three tracks; Levon's distinctive count-off can be heard kicking off Amy's rousing take on Martha Scanlan's "Spend Our Last Dime."
Helm had originally planned to release her solo debut a bit sooner, but chose to substantially rework the album that she initially recorded, recutting more than half of the songs with the road-tested Handsome Strangers. Amy's album also features her touring band, The Handsome Strangers, along with special appearances by Allison Moorer, John Medeski, Bill Payne (Little Feat), Catherine Russell, Marco Benevento and more.
Many of Didn't It Rain's songs are the product of an extended period during which the artist endured a series of personal trials and life changes, including the April 2012 passing of her father and chief musical mentor.
"The past few years have been profoundly transformative for me, so I wanted to tell some of those stories as honestly as I could," she asserts. "I thought about the people I had lost, and things that had fallen apart and things that were coming together, and that influenced the way I sang these songs."
"I always did gigs through high school and college," she explains, "but my fears and insecurities kept me from committing to it. That's when my dad became a huge influence; he scooped me up when I was in my mid-20s and put me in this blues band. I was very, very green, but I got my road-dog status with him. It was like walking through fire every time I got on stage, but it forced me to decide if I wanted to do this. And I decided that I absolutely wanted to do it."
"He was the best teacher, in so many ways," Amy says of her father. "He wasn't interested in overthinking anything; all he cared about was playing music. He saw himself as a working musician, and it was serious business and it had to be right. Playing side by side with him in the Ramble band for ten years, and building those shows with him, really changed the way I approached things, and his humility influenced and shaped me as a musician, as it did everyone who played with him."

Pretty Face Fool sneak peek! Jewel Returns to Folk Roots on 'Picking Up the Pieces' Album A Dolly Parton duet is included on deeply personal LP, due in September BY MARISSA R. MOSS July 28, 2015 It was just over 20 years ago that an Alaskan songwriter named Jewel made her debut with Pieces of You, a record that carved out a perfectly confessional, coffeehouse niche between the decline of grunge and the rise of the slinky pop princess. And on September 11th, the "Who Will Save Your Soul" singer will release Picking Up the Pieces, Rolling Stone Country can exclusively confirm, her first collection of new material since 2010 and a follow-up, of sorts, to that breakthrough LP in both subject and spirit. Jewel produced the 14-song collection herself in Nashville, recruiting an A-list session band including 2014's ACM Guitar Player of the Year Rob McNelley and frequent Neil Young collaborators like drummer Chad Cromwell as an ode to Ben Keith, with whom she worked on Pieces of You and was a staple figure in the Young world before his death in 2010. Any self-referential notes in Picking Up the Pieces are fully intentional: After giving birth to her son, divorcing her husband and dabbling in both children's music and country, Jewel wanted to return to the signature stripped-down folk-pop that gave her one of the best-selling debuts of all time. "It's really a time capsule," Jewel told Rolling Stone in a 1997 cover story about Pieces of You. "When I recorded it, I thought, 'No one's gonna hear it. I'm just going to be honest and put it down on tape.' I didn't really clean up all the edges." It's since been certified 12x Platinum. Though evocative of her earliest years, Picking Up the Pieces is still also true to her country side, with "My Father's Daughter," a collaboration with Dolly Parton that tells the story of Jewel's father and grandmother, the later whom emigrated from Europe and was an aspiring opera singer. Jewel released her first country album, Perfectly Clear, in 2008, and played June Carter Cash in the Lifetime TV movie Ring Of Fire. And she's got one heck of a mountain yodel. Picking Up the Pieces will include new songs (“Love Used to Be,” “Mercy") as well as unrecorded tracks that have long made the rounds at Jewel's live shows like “Carnivore” and “Boy Needs a Bike," both of which she's been playing since the mid-Nineties and are pure Lilith Fair-era wandering folk narratives with her signature balance of gritty growl and sweet whisper. "My focus for this CD was to forget everything I have learned about the music business the last 20 years and get back to what my bones have to say about songs and words and feeling and meaning," Jewel writes on her blog. "I let go of genre, radio, trend, current events, and clever strategies. I let go of it all — which was no small feet as those voices are so deeply penetrating after 20 years of doing this professionally. It took real effort to clear my thoughts and have no rules and just create." Jewel will also release her memoir, Never Broken, on September 15th. Picking Up the Pieces will be available September 11th, via Sugar Hill Records and is now available for pre-order here. www.rollingstone.com/music/news/jewel-returns-to-folk-roots-on-picking-up-the-pieces-album-20150728

Joe Nichols said in an interview with The Highway's facebook page that he has recorded 10 songs for his new album and that he's "trying to make sure he's the countriest guy on the radio, but still getting played." Joe says that he thinks the lead single will drop within a month. One of the tracks is called "Freaks Like Me", which he thinks will be a big hit. Source

Awesome news, thanks for posting. :) 3 years from Corb's last album of entirely new music is far too long and Dave Cobb producing is great with his past work.

okgazette.com/2015/07/29/with-new-album-in-the-works-tanya-tucker-hits-the-road/With new album in the works, Tanya Tucker hits the road It has been a long road back to the spotlight for country music superstar Tanya Tucker. She first hit the Billboard charts at age 13 with her 1972 album debut, Delta Dawn. Not long after that, she was on the cover of Rolling Stone and has been turning heads ever since. Tucker’s songs have stood the test of time, and she has changed her style to reflect each new trend in country music, from 1970s story songs like “Lizzie and the Rain Man” to ’80s power-ballads “Love Me Like You Used To” and the ’90s-era “Down to My Last Teardrop.” But life caught up with the Country Music Award-winner a few years ago when she lost her father and manager, Beau Tucker. Then, in 2012, her mother died. That’s when she said it was time to step away and regroup to figure out the next phase of her life and career. “We are never prepared for this time in our lives,” Tucker said in a recent interview with Oklahoma Gazette. “We know it’s coming, and we are never ready for losing a parent. The past few years, I have been going through a struggle with depression, but I am trying to get back in the saddle. That saddle is a little squeaky right now, but I’m getting there.” Tucker brings her new band and impressive roster of hits to Oklahoma’s Downstream Casino Resort, 69300 Nee Road, in Quapaw for one show with Travis Tritt on Friday. It’s a short road trip up the turnpike to see two of country music’s living legends. “Oklahoma has always been one of the best states for us to perform in,” Tucker said. “My dad was from Coalgate, so I am proud to say I have a little Okie running through my veins. It will be so good to come back and see everyone.” The past few years have been a bit of a blur, Tucker said. She spent some of it traveling with her youngest daughter, seeing the sights, riding horses and clearing her head. Ultimately, she said it was her fans that encouraged her to get back on stage. “I realized I needed to be performing, using the talents God gave me. So when I said I was coming back, all hell broke loose,” she said. “I have a new management company, a new team, a new band.” A new album is in the works, her first since 2009’s My Turn. “The album will be out soon … I hope radio plays it. I’ll just make sure it’s so good they have to play it,” Tucker said. “I am looking forward to seeing everyone in Oklahoma. If I was a crying girl, I’d be crying right now. I love every one of y’all.”

Other than a Christmas album last year, it's been relatively quiet on The Henningsens, but they were saying at CMA Fest last month that they had just sent in new songs to their label to see what would make their upcoming album and this was on their facebook page two weeks ago.

TBA is my favorite song. I'm so excited he recorded it six times!!!! Hopefully it will be a single. 6 out of 11 shot too, lol. LOL! That's what I get for copying the iTunes pre-order listing. Full track list revealed on Amazon.com - Fire
- You Can't Stop Me (feat. Thomas Rhett)
- Lose My Mind
- Wanna Be That Song
- Time Well Spent
- If You Were My Girl
- Illinois
- Just A Taste
- Drunk On Your Love
- Lose It All
- Shadow
- Going Away For Awhile
In an interview (it might of been posted here, I can't remember) Brett said that there is not another "Raymond" on this album. The one song that may come close though is, "Lose It All."

^ Not another Raymond. Brett come on. You have a voice that's great use it. Why do I feel like the Thomas Rhett song on this album will be awful (oh right Thomas Rhett).

Lol @ Brett Eldredge saying there's no equivalent to "Raymond" on this album (sounds like a disclaimer to not get too excited about this album). But he did a duet with Thomas Rhett.

I never saw it like a "disclaimer," but now that you have mentioned it, that's totally what it sounds like. I know a lot of people, especially here on Pulse have been somewhat critical of Brett for "vanilla" type songs, but it seems to be a never ending trend. I am hopeful that the tide will turn at some point and we can get a deep album from Brett. An album full of "One Mississippi's." Nevertheless, I do still plan on buying the record. I like "Lose My Mind" and as much as it is disliked, "Fire" has sort of grown on me. The instrumentation during the chorus is catchy and while the lyrics are a bit bland, it sure is a nice uptempo to open the album. I saw that "Just A Taste" was released to iTunes but I'll wait until the album is out, to hear the rest. I'm hoping there is at least two ballad esque songs that are enjoyable - even if they don't meet the standard of "Raymond."

Ah yes, the "there won't be any actual country songs on this album cause money talks" disclaimer. The three songs released so far are about as basic and bland as any "sing-along while it's on, forget it when it's not" song I've ever heard. Him and Thomas Rhett should just make every album a duet album. I guess making songs like "Raymond" and "Beer With Jesus" is too risky nowadays.
