New Country Music Releases 12/25/07
Friday, December 28th, 2007
Sorry this list is so late for you this week, but the new releases would have been scheduled to hit stores on Christmas when no one was open anyway, so it’s better late than never, right? There are more CDs on this week’s new country music releases list than there have been the past few weeks, so that’s promising.
However, it’s kind of deceiving to label these as “new releases” since none of them are really all that “new”. The albums being released this week are actually re-releases of albums from some of country music’s legendary artists. There are great CDs from Johnny Cash, George Jones, Joe Diffie, Patty Loveless, and Ricky Skaggs. There is also a classic duet album from Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner. There is also a Porter Wagoner solo album that was re-released this week.
Hopefully we’ll pick up with some brand new releases in the new year. I heard recently on the radio that Tim McGraw’s newest album will be released sometime early in 2008, so at least we have that to look forward to. Until then, have a great rest of 2007 and a wonderful beginning to 2008!

Sigh. It is yet 
Just when you thought the country music new releases couldn’t get any more sparse, this week comes along and there are only 3 new releases! I’d even venture to say there is really on 2 new releases because the Leann Rimes album was already released and this time it was just on a different label. So even though it’s all the same music, it’s considered a new release and makes the list this week. It’s probably a good idea to put it on the list because without it, the only music on the list would be a duets album by Jesse Dayton and a compilation of Swamp music by various artists.
The theme of this week’s new country music releases is Karaoke and Greatest Hits. Once again, there really isn’t much “new” music to choose from, but there are a few albums worth noting and maybe adding to your Christmas list. This would definitely be a good year to ask Santa for Karaoke machine. While you’re at it, add a few of the new Karaoke albums to that list. You can sing the tunes of Hank Williams Jr. or Tammy Wynette. If those are your style, there is also a couple of “country hits” Karaoke CDs to choose from.
Wow, what a slow week for new country music releases. You would think with the holiday shopping season in full swing, there would be more to choose from. There really aren’t any country music superstars releasing new albums this week, and not even a single Christmas album to speak of this week. There is, however, a Conway Twitty compilation, as well as one of Johnny Cash love songs.

The long awaited arrival of Carrie Underwood’s sophomore album “Carnival Ride” has finally come. Carrie’s album is expected to do well on both the pop and country album charts, and should knock Rascal Flatts out of the top spot next week. Powered by her new hit single “So Small”, it should stay at the top of the charts over the next few weeks. Shooter Jennings has a new album out this week, and so does Ty Herndon’s Christmas CD.
