I'm a big fan of Taylor Swift, her song "All Too Well" from the RED album is my favourite song from the past 5 years. And to see her perform it live was a dream come true.

This thread deserves more posts. I love country music at the moment. It's pretty much all that I'm listening to.

We played some country music at the radio station last night.

Gutted i missed C2C the other week, the line up was insane!

Brad Paisley and The Zac Brown Band - Awesome.... bet you all had a right blast.

One of my favourite artists on the line up, is Jessica Clemmon's. She is fairly new to the UK country music scene but 'my old my' she is taking it by storm...

Her first single 'Single Tonight' was a big success and Chris Evan's amongst others from BBC2 enjoyed spinning it on his morning shows.

However more recently she has released her follow up single 'Love Like That'
https://soundcloud.com/jessicaclemmo...love-like-that

Would be interested to see what you country heads thought of the track and if you prefer it over Single Tonight?

If you want more info about the track, i found a nice write up for y'all! : -

A lot of the stuff in here is pop....

I've fallen in love with Valerie June, kinda bluesy country...she has a real cool voice, perfect for country, Taylor Swift wishes she could perform country music as well.

Bought Little Big Town's 'Tornado' album yesterday and it is just wonderful. There's not a single weak track on the album but if I had to pick just one track it would be 'Sober'

If there are any Ashley Monroe fans here, I do a weekly youtube cover/original and this week I did one of her songs. Bit of a shameless plug but I'd appreciate anyone watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rDX...ature=youtu.be

On a side note, is anyone going to CMA Fest this year?

Yes I saw that. I'm seeing her in London at the beginning of July. I'm very much looking forward to it.

Miranda Lambert's new album comes out on Monday.. I'm looking forward to adding it to my collection. I'd love a UK tour.

I saw Kacey Musgraves in London a couple of weeks ago and she didn't disappoint. She also has a fantastic band.

Miranda Lambert's music has been on repeat of late. Her new album is brilliant. I'd very much like to see her live at some point if she ever tours the UK. I'm not sure how big of a fan base she has in the UK.

I've been listening to Little Big Town a lot lately. They're very good.

Things didn't look good for them, but I hoped they would get back together and sort out their differences.

Listening to the "Tornado" album by Little Big Town. "Night Owl" is beautiful. It sounds Christmassy, though there is no reference to Christmas in the song.

It's a very good album. I'll be adding it to my collection soon.

On a separate note: Has anybody heard Jamie Lynn Spears' music? She is (as some of you may already know) Britney's younger sister.

I was listening to her EP on Spotify last night and I don't think that it's too bad. She started writing shortly after her daughter was born about 4 years ago. To my knowledge I don't think that she plays an instrument but I think that she has a better voice than her older sister.

I was pleasantly surprised.

Shotgun Wedding
How Could I Want More

Thoughts?

Carrie Underwood announces first Greatest Hits compilation

Does she have one more album in her contract or something? This is usually the reason for Greatest Hits albums so earlier in one's career.

I've never really listened to Lady Antebellum.

Enjoy the show.

Thanks! They are definitely on the 'poppier' side of country/pop but they have a few songs I love. And the opportunity to see them at such a small venue (900ish capacity) is definitely a one off. (And the fact that the venue is a 5 minute bus ride from my house doesn't hurt!)

I've got tickets for the 2015 Country 2 Country festival (at the O2) that I bought ages ago and I'm looking forward to seeing what the line up is. I'm expecting that there will be an announcement shortly after the Brooklyn Bowl concert that Lady A will be performing on one of the two days so it seems I'll be seeing them again.

Hope they get some good acts over!
