Country Music Herald

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!
