Country Music Herald

Wow! Have you seen People Magazine this week? They have an outstanding Country Music Special Edition out on stands now, and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to buy it and bring you the news you need to know. There are articles that range from Brad, Kimberly, and Huck Paisley in their new home to some of country music’s hottest stars’ favorite brand of jeans to favorite recipes of country music artists. It truly is a must read issue!

However, I think my favorite part of the magazine is the FREE DOWNLOADS of some up and coming country singers. Yes, that’s right! You can get 15 free songs, and I’ve got who and what you will find to download. Perhaps you want to try something new, or maybe you’ve been following these artists on the rise. Whatever your reason, head on over and get these downloads pronto! You can find all the information you need…after the jump!
