Dare to Dream
Billy Gilman
After three Billy Gilman albums in less than a
year, two things are abundantly clear: One, the young Gilman is quite a
talented and assured singer who demonstrates a natural vocal ease. Two, his
producers haven't the foggiest idea how to play to his strengths, sticking him
with songs of widely varying styles and quality.

Carrying on
Montgomery Gentry
This tough-talking Kentucky duo relishes the
"outlaw" poses first established by the likes of Waylon Jennings, Charlie
Daniels, Hank Jr., and even Lynyrd Skynyrd. Even though we've heard it all

conviction with which they deliver their good-ol'-boy tales and honky-tonk
anthems.

A Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC
Hayseed Dixie
By this point you've probably heard of Hayseed

Rosie Flores
Flores has been blending aspects of honky-tonk,
rockabilly, Tex-Mex, and folk for well more than a decade, and it's time more
people took notice of this authoritative singer and crafty guitarist. Once at
the forefront of the burgeoning alt-country movement, Flores has bounced from
label to label, finally ending up on Eminent. Her label debut is another fine
effort, which adds swinging jazz to her growing bag of tricks.
