'Tis the Season

Great time of year, of course. It's also a great time of year for country music. Lots of good music is available for gift giving (or receiving). So, I thought I'd give you my recommendations for either giving or receiving.
There are the usual biggies from Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift (especially the deluxe edition with DVD), Brad Paisley, Reba and Tim McGraw. Take a good listen to Jason Aldean's "Wide Open". You won't be disappointed. Miranda Lambert's "Revolution" is another good one. If you like Southern Rock with a sprinkling of Jimmy Buffet, there's the Zac Brown Band's The Foundation". Jamey Johnson' "That Lonesome Song" should not be ignored and the same applies to Luke Bryan's "Doin' My Thing". Darius Rucker's "Learn to Live" CD is loaded with hits and, if you'd like a real treat, take a listen to Eric Church's "Carolina". Really good! Justin Moore ("Smalltown USA" and "Backwoods") mixes Skynyrd and Hank and comes up with a interesting sound and Jake Owen's "Easy Does It" is one of the most underrated CD's of the year.
Lots to choose from so make someone happy (or yourself), musically, this holiday season! Hope Santa is good to you!
