Sam Hunt To Release “Montevallo” On October 27th

1 Comment

Rising country star Sam Hunt is ready to take on the music world one hit song at a time.  His debut album, “Montevallo,” will be released on October 27th!  Growing up in Georgia, Hunt played football not knowing he could make a living writing songs.  Eventually he moved to Nashville and started writing for artists like Kenny Chesney and Keith Urban, before starting to create his own material.  Sam gained attention through social media, having his music available free to download. Now, he’s signed to his own record deal, and heading out on tour with Kip Moore this Fall.   Sam’s “X2C” EP, which came out this summer, made a Top 40 debut on the Billboard charts.   Check out the track listing for his debut album below.

Sam Hunt “Montevallo” Track Listing
1. “Take Your Time”
2. “Leave The Night On”
3. “House Party”
4. “Break Up In A Small Town”
5. “Single For The Summer”
6. “Ex To See”
7. “Make You Miss Me”
8. “Cop Car”
9. “Raised On It”
10. “Speakers”

You can pre-order “Montevallo” on iTunes now!  Also visit SamHunt.com for pre-order packages.  You can get a signed copy of the album, and even a cassette player!

If you downloaded Sam’s “Behind the Pines” mixtape (which was available for free on his website before he signed with MCA), you’ll recognize some of the tracks.  We love that the album versions are true to the originals – just a little more polished.

Watch the official video for Sam Hunt’s single “House Party” below!

Be sure to pick up a copy of Sam Hunt’s EP “X2C” on iTunes and Amazon now.

Chris Lane Releases “Broken Windshield View” Music Video

Leave a comment

Country singer Chris Lane just released the music video for his new single “Broken Windshield View” on Youtube.  The song has been in rotation in the Fangirls office all summer long and the video, filmed in Greensboro, NC definitely shows that down south country life, spending hot summer days on the river and riding around with a broken windshield (probably from driving down all those dirt roads).  Check out the official video below!

Pick up a copy of “Broken Windshield View “on iTunes or Amazon.

Joel Crouse Releases Debut Album “Even The River Runs”

Leave a comment

Singer Joel Crouse is making a name for himself in the country world and setting his sights on the top of the charts with his debut album.  When fans were able to purchase “Even The River Runs” on iTunes at midnight, the album climbed up to #6 on the country charts and it kept pushing its way upward as release day dawned.

Joel wrote or co-wrote every song on the promising debut effort, which is compiled of songs about the struggles of growing up and growing apart.  He’s already opened for country superstars like Taylor Swift, The Bad Perry, and even Darius Rucker.  Crouse isn’t one of those “cover a song on YouTube” stars, he took the time to build up his fan base grass roots style: in dive bars and on the road.

Watch the official lyric video for Joel Crouse’s single “Why God Made Love Songs” below.

Pick up a copy of “Even The River Runs” from iTunes or Amazon now!
