Scotty McCreery makes his songwriting debut on 'See You Tonight,' a mid-tempo love song that finds the 19-year-old not settling for a phone call or some distant "I love you" from the girl who holds his heart. It's the start of a new chapter for McCreery -- one that's much more important than his last.
In his new song 'I Want Crazy.' Hunter Hayes doesn't soar like Ronnie Dunn or croon like Chris Young. His vocal performance is an exercise in diction -- and memory. Simply put, he packs a ton of words into a tight space without straining or slurring one idea into another. It's not easy.
'Better' is the finest ballad from Maggie Rose's new 'Cut to Impress' album. The singer is creative with her phrasing, and the performance is as raw as anything on the 10-song collection. She is still learning how to be a great storyteller, however, and with more experiences and a few years behind her, the single promises to only get... better.
April 4, 2013 Pretty sure you'll be 'Blown Away' with this month's top songs from Q-106.5!
Jon Pardi tosses a pinch of Bakersfield sound into his brand of country music. It came through more clearly on his debut single 'Missin' You Crazy,' but the follow-up, 'Up All Night,' still relies on a heavy guitar lick and Pardi's Dwight Yoakam-influenced singing style.
April 1, 2013 We're all looking forward to the summer's first country concert at Darling's Waterfront Pavilion in Bangor, as Darius Rucker will be featured along with Rodney Atkins and Jana Kramer (concert info here).

New songs from Miranda Lambert, Kenny Chesney, George Strait, Hunter Hayes and Blake Shelton (twice) all find themselves inside the Top 20, but none of these cuts are No. 1. That honor goes to one of the more unique and surprising singles in quite some time.
Newcomer Weston Burt's debut single 'Lucky Sometimes' aims right down the middle and hits the mark. The upbeat, head-over-heels love song is easy to find yourself singing along with before the first spin is complete. Listen again to hear him flex a little vocal muscle in the most subtle ways.
March 22, 2013 Nelly has been on Country Songs before, 'Over & Over' was a hit with Tim McGraw back in 2004, now Nelly has teamed up with Fast Tracking Florida Georgia Line on their first #1 hit, with a remix of 'Cruise'
March 22, 2013 Kip Moore's latest video release for his song, 'Hey Pretty Girl,' has gotten the ladies a teary-eyed (and maybe a few guys too). And rightly so. It's a great love song that's climbing the charts for the 'Beer Money'--'Somethin' Bout a Truck' country star
