Chris Young - I'm Comin' Over (RCA Nashville)
Fresh from a short, but sold out UK tour, Chris Young brings us his fifth studio album, I'm Comin Over. The eleven track album features the hit song of the same name - that is, at time of writing, certified Gold - as well as a duet with rising star Cassadee Pope and country legend Vince Gill. Undecided country fans not so famillar with Young are in luck: Chris has been sharing some songs over on his YouTube page, including the fantastic 'Sober Saturday Night' that features Vince Gill. It's another solid album from Young and with the fastest selling single of his career as the lead single, this album looks a good bet for the top spot.
Lizzie Wilson - Lizzie Wilson EP
We featured this five track EP last week (you can read our review HERE) and it is a worthy addition to our list of releases for this week. This debut EP by the up and coming UK singer was recorded in Nashville earlier this year and was co-written by Lizzie with a wealth of other talent, including Holloway Road and Payton Taylor. Country music over here is - thankfully- finally growing and we have a wealth of homegrown talent ready and waiting to shine. Lizzie Wilson is one of these names you should keep and eye out for and this EP is proof.At only £3.95 on iTunes, this release is, frankly, a steal.
Eric Church - Mr. Misunderstood (EMI Nashville)
*Technically* this was released last week during the craziness that is CMA awards week but it's only just become available on UK iTunes and it'd be silly to not include it. The album, Eric's fifth, was written over the summer and recorded during the last two months before it was sprung on us in a Beyonce-esque move. Stylistically, it's a more diverse Church record than we are used to, with rock, soul and gospel being just some of the influences we can hear on it, to but it is another really strong one. Whilst we may not get another album in such a surprise fashion come next year's CMAs week, we can definitely expect some nominations for this one.
