Country Music Herald

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. LeAnn Rimes does release a new CD single this week, if you are a fan.

The only other CDs to hit the shelves this weeks are a bunch of songs put together from various artists. Perhaps my favorite title in the list is “I’ll Just Sit Here and Drink”. For all of you Bluegrass fans out there, there is an “Ultimate Collection” CD out of Bluegrass songs.

So let’s take this week to chat a little bit about what country music CD you are looking forward to finding in your stocking this year. Do you have your eye on a recent release, or maybe an album that’s been holding strong at the top of the charts? Let me know which albums you want for Christmas (or whichever holiday you celebrate) and why in the comments section below.

To see what albums were released this week, keep reading after the jump.
