Album releases become available for download Fridays at midnight East Coast Time. Since that's 9pm Thursday night West Coast Time, every Thursday night, Pepper picks her two favorite songs from the new country albums and plays them on K-Frog for New at Nine! Here are her picks for this week.
Rodney Atkins is playing
Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula on Friday, July 12th, and there's no doubt he'll be performing music from his brand new album
Caught Up in the Country, in which he explores some different approaches and styles.
"With an album, you're building a house, not just trying to build a back porch," explains Rodney in a press release. "I needed to try things, not limit myself to just sing the notes and get out of the way.
"I wanted to really tell a story in the shape and the melody of these songs - there's more diversity on this record than I've ever had before - and to really take time to figure out the nuances because, ultimately, it's a whole bunch of nuances that add up to make something special."
Here are the songs I played from Caught Up in the Country for New at Nine tonight:
1. Caught Up in the Country
2. Figure Out You (with his wife, Rose Falcon)
