Country Music Herald

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.

There are also a lot of tribute albums dropping this week including a Bluegrass Gospel tribute to Josh Turner, a Celtic tribute to Alison Krauss, and a whole album of a tribute to our good friends Brooks & Dunn (which reminds me to mention the Country Music Herald Brooks & Dunn Giveaway, so go check it out if you haven’t entered yet).

To see all of the releases this week, keep reading after the jump.
