A surprise release is any release which is put for sale without an announced release date. Even Beyoncé who started the trend to combat piracy had several "buzz" singles and people knew the album was coming. People knew Strait and Chruch were recording too.

I get what jhomes87 is saying about the surprise release, but if Keith Urban's Ripcord randomly went up on digital retailers this Friday without any warning ahead of time then it could still be considered a surprise release... because well, it would be quite the surprise. I'm not expecting that to happen as it seems obvious the delays have been to finish the album and get it ready to release, and if they were planning to pull out a surprise with it, I'm sure they would've already done that by now.

Even Beyoncé who started the trend to combat piracy had several "buzz" singles and people knew the album was coming. People knew Strait and Chruch were recording too. Good points, but the Strait and Church albums weren't exactly expected -- that's really what I was getting at. Urban's album has been expected for a while now...it's got a name and the tour has already been named after it. It's simply not ready yet. But I'd be very surprised if it's just suddenly released without any pre-announced release date. Keith said it would likely be out just before the tour, so I'm thinking late May/early June. But if he finished it in secret and they wanna drop it on Friday to coincide with "Break On Me"'s peak, I wouldn't complain at all. It could work. All I'm saying is that I'm not expecting that to happen. Jon Pardi, "California Sunrise" due May 13 Dierks Bentley, "Black" due May 20 Previous album totals: "Write You a Song" is at 85k. "Riser" is at 380k. Source: HITS Daily Double Upcoming ReleasesYes! Very excited about these. And I absolutely LOVE that Jon Pardi album title. It's really weird that the HITS schedule doesn't have Granger Smith (March 4), Randy Houser (March 11), or Cole Swindell (May 6) on it. I do think the Pardi and Bentley release dates are legitimate...Swindell's will probably be added soon, but it's just weird that they don't have the two BBR Music Group albums listed.

Jon Pardi, "California Sunrise" due May 13 We had to wait nearly two years from the release of his last lead single (debut) "Missin' You Crazy" and Write You A Song. Very excited and relived we won't have to wait nearly that long for the release of his second album.

I apologize, I am trying to embed the video in which Dean Sams on Lonestar's page on their Facebook announces that 'Never Enders' is coming in April. Now Facebook is saying that is no longer able to embedded as it was earlier this month. www.ylcountry.com/2016/01/21/interview-dean-sams-from-lonestar/Jan 21, 2016 Only 3 more days until Lonestar plays at the Mile Zero Multiplex in Grimshaw. To Celebrate; here is the interview I did with Dean Sams, who plays Piano in Lonestar (and co-founded the band).We talked about life on the road, weather, and music. Including Lonestars upcoming 10th album; “Never Enders”, which is set to drop in 2016.

I Met A Girl 4. Lonesomeville 5. Cheap Cologne 6. Back Seat Driver Edit: Also on iTunes! It was posted a couple weeks back but it seems to be making the rounds as official today. I've heard all the songs live and this stuff is definitely neo-traditional. It's songs you would hear back in the 90's on Country radio. Here's the track listing from Music Row: "Lonesomeville" is fantastic. It's certainly not what Country radio plays anymore but man, is it awesome. No surprise Trent Tomlinson had a hand in writing it either. "Vinyl" is superb as well. And oh my God, a Kevin Denney sighting! Uncle Lumpy Kevin co-wrote "Cheap Cologne" which is another great song.

There was also a comment on Saving Country Music from a person who said that they talked to Mo Pitney's mom at a concert. She said that Mo is currently doing photography for the album and that an April release date is possible. Obviously take that with many grains of salt.

Artist: Rita Wilson Album: Rita Wilson Label: Sing It Loud Records Release date: March 11, 2016
Rita Wilson’s self-titled new album, her second, marks the singer and actress’ debut as a songwriter. Working with a host of the country’s best-selling songwriters and producers, including several Grammy Award winners and nominees, the Mrs. to Tom Hanks taps into the bittersweet moments of her own personal experiences on songs like “Grateful,” “Forgiving Me, Forgiving You,” and “Crying, Crying,” giving the listener a window into the interior emotional life of someone known primarily for the indelible characters she has brought to the screen in It’s Complicated, Sleepless in Seattle, The Good Wife, and Girls.
“At one point in the writing process, I realized that there was a theme emerging from the songs that had to do with different levels of being vulnerable, or weak, or strong, or courageous,” Wilson says. “It seemed that there was something going on there and I tried to not get in the way and see what would come through.”
After the positive critical reception she received for her 2012 debut album AM/FM, an intimate collection of country and soft pop covers of her favorite songs from the ’60s and ’70s, Wilson knew she wanted to continue making music. “I thought, ‘I have to keep doing this,’” she says. “I didn’t know what form it was going to take. I didn’t know how I was going to do it. But with the help of some really amazing people, I just kept putting one foot in front of the other and going down the path, not without fear, for sure, I was terrified, but excited enough to see where it would lead.”
The path led to co-writing sessions in Los Angeles and Nashville with Grammy Award winners/nominees Jessi Alexander (Blake Shelton), Kristian Bush (Sugarland), Nathan Chapman (Taylor Swift), Kara DioGuardi (Carrie Underwood), Lauren Christy (Avril Lavigne), Richard Marx (Keith Urban), and Dan Wilson (Adele); acclaimed songwriters Kelly Archer (Jason Aldean), Darrell Brown (Keith Urban), Blair Daly (Rascal Flatts), Stephan Moccio (The Weeknd), Jon Randall (Sheryl Crow), and Jason Reeves (Colbie Caillat), as well as the producers Ron Aniello (Bruce Springsteen), Mikal Blue (Colbie Caillat), John Shanks (Melissa Etheridge), and Babyface (Whitney Houston), in addition to Chapman, Marx, and Dan Wilson.
“I was very humbled,” Wilson says of working with her veteran collaborators. “It was a learning curve to be able to, for lack of a better expression, find my voice. Writers are artists, so they are open. They want to get to something good. The songwriting process is kind of like falling in love. You meet somebody you’ve never met before. You strip naked emotionally. You have musical intercourse. Then, you leave with a gorgeous song baby.”
The first song to emerge was “Grateful” (co-written with Kara DioGuardi and Jason Reeves and produced by Mikal Blue), which Wilson says is about “realizing that when something less than positive happens in your life, and you think things will never get better, you can look back and see how the dots were connected. That without that unfortunate event, you wouldn’t be in the place you are now, which is usually better than where you were. I found myself looking at some of those experiences that I thought were unshakeable and realizing that if they hadn’t happened, I would have missed out on so many other wonderful things.”
"They're totally reflective of me," she said to Rolling Stone. "They're just my personality and how I listened to music. I listened to music growing up on AM radio and everything was multi-genre and you could listen to everything and I don't feel as people we only listen to one thing. We listen to all sorts of different things. I mean, I'm not going AWOL, having Kanye [West] rap on the album with me or anything like that." Track listing:
1. Along for the Ride 2. Crying, Crying 3. Talking To Me 4. Forgiving Me Forgiving You 5. Say Yes 6. Strong Tonight 7. What You See Is What You Get 8. Joni 9. In The Dark 10. Stay Low 11. Every Day 12. Girls Night In 13. I'm Guilty 14. Still Gone 15. Grateful

This means Morgan's EP is likely to get a Walmart exclusive EP release a la Michael Ray last year. Also that "Vinyl" is likely to be a single too (at least in the highway).

His album was fantastic and I met him in Nashville several years ago. Kevin Denney is also a name I haven't heard in forever. Loved his song "That's Just Jessie".

He co-wrote "Close Your Eyes" by Parmalee and released a Sirius/XM single called "Come Back To Bed" in 2014.

You can listen to a preview of every single song on Randy's new album, Fired Up here: randyhouserfiredup.com/. It requires you to share the link on Facebook/Twitter before you can access the preview. Can't wait for the album to come out next Friday. Previews are very good.

Sounded beautiful, can't wait. My impression was that the album will be primarily gospel.

Artist: Martina McBride Album: Reckless Label: Nash Icon Release date: April 29, 2016 Source
Martina McBride announced that she will be releasing her 13th album and first on her new music label Nash Icon on April 29. The album and first single is entitled Reckless.
Penned by Zach Crowell, Heather Morgan and Sarah Buxton, the song is a soaring ballad directed at the person who helps scoop you up from the edge of darkness. The message is one that could easily be referenced as a worship song, a quality that has been found in many of McBride’s recent cuts.
“It’s such a special song to me,” McBride shared through a post on her Facebook page. “My hope is that you hear it and think of someone who has taken a chance on you and reached out to love you through a hard or dark time. Someone who pulled you from the edge as the song says. Sometimes life finds us in a vulnerable place. Thank God for the ones who love us recklessly and unconditionally.”
“My main mindset was to find great songs,” McBride says of selecting songs for the upcoming album. “I know that sounds cliché, but really… I always go into a record not having any hard and fast rules. I knew I wanted it to sound kind of rootsy and organic, though the first single is kind of not that. I tried, all through the record, to keep it a certain sound. And then I found ‘Reckless’ and it didn’t sound like anything else on the record. John [McBride] reminded me that [McBride’s 1997 album] Evolution had tons of sounds on it. It wasn’t just one thing. So it reminds me of that record in a way, just in that there are some things that are more country-leaning than I’ve done in the past, or more like ‘Blessed,’ with a pop-country sound. Doing this record, it feels like something that is familiar, that my fans will listen to and go, ‘Oh, that sounds like her.’ This isn’t veering off from that at all. It’s going to be like comfort food.”
“What I think are the best song choices might not be the best song choices to somebody else,” says McBride. “I think that’s what makes an artist, because you are drawn to certain things. When I hear a song as an artist, it’s nothing but instinct. I hear a song and I really love what it says, I think it’s written really smart, and it has a good melody. When you listen to as many songs as we do for a record, the ones that are really great stand out. One will come along that stands above the rest.”

Phil, The only Bro-Country stylised song I'm hearing so far is "We Went". I wouldn't call "A Little Bit Older" a Bro-Country song because it's A. respectful to everyone, B. Does mention Budweiser but Randy recorded this song as a "living again" song. If you know what I mean.

Mine Tonight/Gotta Get You Home/Fired Up. But like I said, it sounds like there are some amazing songs on this album. Excited.
