New Album

George Strait steps back in time for his newest release, 'Love Is Everything.' In the past, the singer always found a way to add a touch of contemporary to his traditional sound. There's nothing to separate this from albums he made throughout the '80s and '90s, but that's not necessarily a criticism.

Luke Bryan is on a hot streak. His third album, 'Tailgates & Tanlines,' has been certified Double Platinum, and the most recent of his Spring Break series, 'Spring Break ... Here to Party' debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 in March. The budding superstar will continue that streak when he releases his fourth studio album later this year.

The best moments on Lady Antebellum's fourth album 'Golden' find Charles Kelley or Hillary Scott singing solo, with minimal help from the other on harmonies. There is no shortage of songs that act as features for the two talented vocalists. The evolution of the trio finds them becoming a dual threat super power instead of a two-headed pop-rock-country group.

It's never too late to pursue your passions, even if you're 86 years old. Georgia Holt -- mother of Cher, the iconic Goddess of Pop -- has decided to go country, even as she approaches her ninth decade of life.

Kenny Chesney's 'Life on a Rock' album is as revealing of a record as 'Be as You Are' -- more so in some ways. The songwriting isn't as sharp as the 2005 project (the most closely comparable to 'Life on a Rock' in style and substance), but the experiences are as mixed and honest.

Lady Antebellum has a lot on the calendar in the next few months. In addition to releasing their fourth studio album, 'Golden,' on May 7, the trio's front woman Hillary Scott will welcome a baby girl into the world. Luckily, pregnancy didn't distract Scott from putting out a great collection of new tunes with Lady A.

Fast-rising country star Scotty McCreery scored a big hit straight out of the box with his debut album 'Clear as Day,' but the former 'American Idol' champ doesn't want to rest on his laurels. In a new interview, he says he's taking a different approach to his upcoming second studio effort -- temporarily scheduled for September or October -- which he describes as a mix of traditional and contempor

Country star Dierks Bentley scored a massive success with his most recent album, 'Home.' Not only was it his fourth No. 1 album in a row, it was also nominated for a Grammy. However Bentley intends to top it with his next outing, which he's been working on since October with the hope of releasing it this fall.

As the fourth single from 'Neon' nears the top of the charts, Chris Young is preparing to release new music. The singer tells Taste of Country that his next album is finished and the focus is on tempo. Fans can expect a faster paced-record than his previous three, one that better reflects his live show.

Multi-Platinum country crossover group Lonestar have announced the release of a new album, 'Life as We Know It,' on June 4. The new project is the group's first since lead singer Richie McDonald returned to the fold after an absence of four years.
