Unreleased albums you own

[Ten Pound Hammer]

Do any of you have any unreleased albums in your collection?

* I have an advance copy of David Nail's 2002 album for Mercury, which had his first charted single "Memphis" on it.

* I also have an advance copy of James Otto's first album. It includes his version of Montgomery Gentry's "Gone", and does not have the song that would later become the title track ("Days of Our Lives").

* rsmatto gave me a copy of the album that James Wesley did in 1999 as James Prosser when I went to Nashville in 2010, but I somehow lost it before I even got back home.

* A while ago, I was writing an article on 4 Runner for Roughstock. I found former lead singer Craig Morris on YouTube and asked if he could verify some information for me. He provided me six tracks from their unreleased One for the Ages album, including lead single "That Was Him (This Is Now)" (written by a then-unknown Keith Urban!).

* I've found no proof that Michael White's Familiar Ground was ever officially released, as every copy I've found (including my own) appears to be an advance copy. I did own an MP3 of "Professional Fool" long before I found the album.

* While not a full album, I have a "Dreamworks Summer Sampler" that includes four tracks from unreleased albums: "The Last Man Committed" and "Built for Love" from Eric Heatherly's Sometimes It's Just Your Time, and "All That I Remember" and "Since I've Seen You Last" from Joanna Janét's Destination Love.

This will come as no surprise but I have Dierks' independent debut "Don't Leave me in Love." I actually have two copies. One is signed and one is still in the wrapper. (To be fair, it was sold before his major label debut, so not exactly unreleased. It has since become very difficult to track down, and sells on eBay for hundreds of dollars when it's available.)

I'm not sure if anyone has heard of Roxie Dean but I have her full album and an EP she personally sent me. The story of how was kind of crazy. I saw her a few years before that when her first single - Everyday Girl was out - and I mentioned it to her. She was surprised I remembered her because the rest of the lineup was pretty packed - Lori Morgan and Sara Evans for the established acts and Rebecca Lynn Howard, Roxie and Amy Dalley for the newer/unknown acts. Simply because I mentioned that and told her I remembered her and liked her songs. She offered to send me a package, didn't say what was in it but told me I'd enjoy it since I was obviously a fan. The package ended up being a bunch of promo stuff, an ep (signed), the full album (signed) and a handwritten card thanking me. It was kind of cool to have that all. I haven't listened to it in ages. I feel like if she had come out at the right time she would have done better because her songwriting on it was great, just not right for back in 2002/2003. She got two singles - Everyday Girl which peaked at 60 and Women know Women that didn't chart - and was dropped from Dreamworks.

One of the downers for me was when I saw the case for River Road's unreleased Somethin' in the Water at a flea market. The case was empty. I haven't seen it turn up anywhere else since, although someone snagged me a recording of "Breathless".

And yes, the title track is the same song that Jeffrey Steele charted with.

[sabre14]

I know quite a few people own the unreleased James Wesley album for Broken Bow Records. They were so close to dropping it before "Real" and "Didn't I" hit a wall in the 20s.

[zaclord 🌈]

What I'd give to hear any of Kacey Musgraves' independent albums.

[gardyfan]

River Road- Somethin' in The Water
Scotty Emerick - The Coast Is Clear
Ty Herndon - This Is Ty Herndon (the one with Heather's Wall)

I also have pre-major label releases from Sammy Kershaw and Mark Chesnutt.

I will have to look through my cd's because I know I have several more unreleased ones.

Oh I just remembered I do have Julianne Hough's second album, Wildfire. I got that a few months ago and have been listening to it a good bit. It was definitely a lot stronger than her first album. I wish it would have gotten released instead of put back on the shelf after the first single.

[Ten Pound Hammer]

If independent albums count... I have an independent album by Bobby Tomberlin (writer of "One More Day", Mo Pitney's "Country", and Darryl Worley's "A Good Day to Run"). He's apparently the boyfriend of Sylvia ("Nobody") and opened for her, although he also opened for Billy Joe Royal around here a couple years ago when the originally planned opening act was a no-show. He did some of the songs from this album, including one he wrote with Whisperin' Bill about the Grand Ole Opry. Most of the stuff has a very charming old-school feel much like "Country".

It was John Pierce. I only have the two singles from Matt's album but I've been hoping to find the full thing for years now.

Also if anybody has Kellie Coffey's second album please for the love of god let me know what I'd have to do to get a chance to hear it!

I recently stumbled upon Terri Clark's My Next Life thanks to a good friend. One of the best freaking moments of my life!
That is like the only time in my life one of my faves has had an album get shelved. I've been mad about that album not coming out since like 8th or 9th grade

Thanks, I was curious because she has two songs on iTunes, and I was wondering if either were on that list.  No on both counts (Shut Me Up and Trippin on Us). 

I saw her perform earlier this year in Ohio, and she did a meet and greet afterwards and was very friendly to all. Sometimes, her Snapchat is funny to watch as well.

[tryexp]

I have a couple of random stuff, including Kacey Musgraves early CDs , and early stuff from Maren Morris, Kelsea Ballerini and Maddie and Tea, but my favourite is by far The Henningsens Sony advance CD - it took me a while to find that one but I'm glad I did as it never got released. Other than that the one I tried to find and failed was the advance copy of Same Trailer Different Park with the different tracks...Oh, well maybe one day!

Did you get the CD's from various gigs in Nashville or elsewhere (Kelsea and Maren's)?
