Song of The Day - "Get Me Some of That" Thomas Rhett

Here's a great new song out called "Get Me Some of That", off of Thomas Rhett's new record. If you haven't listened to his album yet, you're missing out so make sure to go check it out on iTunes here. This song was written by his dad Rhett Akins, Michael Carter & Cole Swindell.

Lady A - Downtown Acoustic

The following video is of Lady Antebellum taking part in a fun and low key performance of their hit song Downtown, off of their record Golden. The performance not only displays their pure musical talent, but it also shows us just how great live country music is. Now i'm not taking away from any other musical genres, but with the advancement of technologies that allow us to produce & alter artificial sounds (which I can respect because I surely can't do that), we sometimes lose sight of the pure acoustic sound that derives from a combination of a talented voice, guitars and maybe even a coffee pot solo every now and then. Enjoy

Meet Cole Swindell

He’s an artist that not many people know about… yet. But Cole Swindell’s music has probably hit your ears at some point without you even knowing it. This Georgia boy has been in the music game since 2007 and has made a splash with his ability to write catchy country songs. Paired with fellow Sigma Chi Luke Bryan at Georgia Southern (not a bad friend to have in this industry), Cole took to tour with LB after college and worked merchandise as well as writing songs.

If you’re a Luke Bryan fan, then you’ve probably listened to his Spring Break records and heard the tracks such as “Love In A College Town”, “Shore Thing” and “Shake The Sand”. Those are songs that Swindell wrote along with an assortment of other songs, so there’s no doubt the dude can write. That ability led him to getting noticed and he eventually signed a publishing deal with Song/ATV Music. Cole has been hitting the stage recently doing shows of his own as well as opening for LB on his Dirt Road Diaries Tour.

Cole has made a big splash with his single “Chillin’ It” hitting iTunes in March of this year. If you haven’t heard it, you better check it out as it’s a perfect summer anthem to blast over your speakers. Swindell has a knack for creating a concoction of creative lines in his songs that tell a great story. He brings a new wave of sound to country music, incorporating rap like lines, heavy beats and even a little synthesizer to go along with the guitars and southern vocals. Give a listen to his songs “HeyY’all”, “Ready”, “Lemme See Ya Girl” and “I Hope You Get Lonely Tonight” and as your dancing around to them you’ll begin to realize while some of the top artists such as Chris Young, Scotty McCreery, and Luke Bryan are all using his songs.
