Dallas Smith- "Jumped Right In"

Passionate vocal performance and decent lyrics. Production is a bit clunky at times, but still a pretty good song.
Random thought: Dallas Smith sounds like Gary Allan.

Grade: B+

Edens Edge- "Swinging Door"

This neo-traditional gem will fit right in with catalogues of Chris Young and Easton Corbin.
I've also decided that "I ain't your swinging door" is a great hook.

Grade: A

Picture
Easton Corbin- "All Over The Road"

"I've decided that Easton Corbin and Chris Young 2.0 are cyborgs in a record label experiment to see if neotraditional can be sexy again.
It's working" -Dan Milliken

Grade: A-

Picture
Parmalee- "Carolina"

Brantley Gilbert and Sarah Darling are already doing this exact same song, but Parmalee's is the most passionate yet. And it looks even better compared to their 3 minutes of loudness "Musta Had A Good Time".

Grade: B+

Picture
Colt Ford (feat. Jake Owen)- "Back"

Quite a beautiful song. I know people won't like it because of the rapping, but Ford does a great job. Owens vocals aren't to shabby either.


Grade: B+

I didn't even know that "Swingin' Door" was the new Edens Edge single. That's very exciting to hear. It's one of my favorite songs on their album.

It's looking very bright for 2013 in music.

"I Drive Your Truck", "Mama's Broken Heart" now "Swinging Door".

Awesomeness

"Swingin' Door" is the only one of these five I can get behind.
