If you're a country music fan, I mean a TRIED and TRUE fan of twang, tradition and storytelling, you need to tune into Mo Pitney. Remember the name because Mo is the real deal, the next voice of traditional "sop grandma's homemade biscuits up with some gravy" country music. Trust me, country isn't dead, it's just starting to come back to life with a revival of the likes of new artists like of Mo, Craig Campbell, Sturgill Simpson, Cody Wickline, and Mary Sarah. These new artists are knocking at country's door and fans are starting to answer the door with an enthusiastic response.
I was invited to sit in on Mo's radio tour stop at WQDR 94.7 FM in Raleigh, NC on Friday, April 24 and I thought I knew what to expect, but Mo blew right past my expectations and stopped me dead in my tracks. On the way down, my main thought was "God don't let him play 'Clean Up on Aisle Five"" because bursting into tears in front of a room of radio industry personnel, his rep from Curb Records and Mo himself isn't on my list of "Must Do's". That song always hits me and never fails to bring the tears to the surface so I knew this was a real possibility. When I arrived a few minutes late and walked around the corner, I didn't hear a room full of laughter or random talking, what I did hear was simply a guitar and this amazing voice singing the last few notes of the song I wanted to yet didn't want to hear, so I took a deep breath of relief and walked in the room only to hear him start a song called "Just a Dog". Being the owner of an 11 year old dog and having put my other dog to sleep just a few years ago, I know this wasn't gonna be good for me. I'm a sucker for dog songs but I had no idea about the impact of this song. As he sang about his loss, I felt the loss of mine all over again, along with half the room. You could look around the room and, in the dead silence, "hear" the emotion through sniffles, gentle clearings of the throat and you could see every other people dabbing at red rimmed eyes with tissue. That's what country music is all about, the ability to tell a story that affects the listener in one way or another. Mo Pitney is the "ePITome" of the country songwriter. From his baseball cap to his cowboy boots, Mo's blood pumps pure country and those roots run deep into his soul and he offers no apologies for staying true to who he is and for refusing to fit the current country mold. I love this about him.
Mo's single, "Country" is currently playing on country radio and I really hope to see more stations add it because more people need to hear this amazing artist and even more than hear him, experience him. Mo's music is a gift that every country station should give their listeners. He reaches far beyond the whiskey, his drive is much stronger than the most tricked out jacked up truck and he doesn't need to sing about tight jeans or white tank tops to make an impression. All it takes is a simple song, one that comes from his heart and one that means something. That's Mo, simple yet significant. He's a gentle soul with stories to tell and memories to create.
Connect with Mo Pitney online at www.mopitney.com, on Twitter and Facebook.
New artist, Logan Mize, has had one hell of an impressive first week with his new single, "Can't Get Away From a Good Time". The single had over 100,000 downloads before officially impacting country radio last week and to date, he's had over 2.6 million streams as well as 50 major reporting station adds of the single. Not a bad way to celebrate being signed to a major label, Arista Nashville, huh?
I had the pleasure of an invitation to sit in on his radio tour stop at WQDR 94.7 FM in Raleigh, NC this week. I had already heard the single which has spread like wildfire thanks to Sirius XM's The Highway so I knew this was gonna be worth the overnight stay on the way home from a long drive to Nashville and more than worth the additional 3 hr drive the next day after the lunch/show. I was dead on, it wasn't just worth it, it was DAMN worth it. I could have listened for another hour but I guess all good things must come to an end at some time, thus did my time in the acoustic cafe. Thanks to WQDR for bringing in a great artist, one that I am pretty sure they'll be playing pretty regularly.
This ordinary guy from Kansas is quick on the path of proving he's anything but ordinary. A former truck driver, he's definitely delivering the goods. With a kick ass single in his corner, he's also got more charisma and charm than an entire season of desperate rose toting, serial dating contestants ABC's "The Batchelor" and a humbleness and sense of self that is hard to come across these days in the music industry. He's friendly, personable and just a genuinely nice guy, struggling to make it and after listening to his voice and watching how he interacts with those around him, I think it's a safe bet to say his struggle just got a whole lot easier. He's made a long time fan in me and that was before we even sat down to really talk. His voice really doesn't need any digital "tweaking", it's got a natural rasp that works well on it's own and he's a great storyteller. He's already made a presence in Nashville with his writing, having written with writers like Blake Chaffin and having had his song, "Mexicoma", cut by former American Idol finalist, Bucky Covington. He's also been featured alongside "Nashville" actress, Hayden Panettiere, in the "Fabric of Our Lives" commercial and in an episode of the series, "Hart of Dixie" which featured he and his band. He's definitely made his presence known.
Take the time to get to know Logan, he's gonna be around for a long time from the reception he's getting around Music City, country music fans and the radio industry. I would venture as far as to call him one of country's best new artists of the year, definitely in my personal top 2!
You can connect with Logan on Twitter at @LoganMize, on Facebook at @LoganMize, Youtube and on his official website - www.loganmize.com. Tell him we sent ya! His music is available on iTunes. Be sure to leave a review when you download, it helps more than you realize!

If you aren't familiar with The Farm, then get acquainted because you're gonna hear ALOT more out of this group. Comprised of three amazing artists, there is more true natural talent in this trio than you hear in any Nashville venue on a given night. The Farm consists of Nick Hoffman, fiddle player for Kenny Chesney, Damien Horne who is one of Nashville's favorite singer/songwriters and original member of the Muzik Mafia and bombshell with a kick ass attitude and vocals of an angel, Krista Marie. Their stage show is unbelieveable, energetic from beginning to end and the way these three interact keeps the crowd on their feet and crazy loud!
Check them out performing their first single, "Home Sweet Home" at Raleigh, NC's City Limits Saloon this past Friday, May 18, 2012. Outstanding! Keep requesting and downloading their music!
