FREE Luke Bryan Tix, and a few new songs I'm liking....alot



I'm going to start this post by doing something that I've been meaning to do for a while now.  Wanted to give you a heads-up on a few new songs that we're playing on WXBM.  I'm not endorsing anyone or trying to make anyone popular, just wanted to let you know what's on my radar for good, new music. 

First is "This Ole Boy" by Craig Morgan.  I guess it's not all that new, but I still really like it and crank it whenever it comes on.  If I were ever talented enough to write a song for my wife, it would probably be something like This Ole Boy.  Love it.  By the way, Craig is coming to town in May.  More on that later.  Next on the list is "Goodbye Made You Mine" from JT Hodges.  Love that song.  It kinda reminds me of "Bless The Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts, but it's more upbeat & catchy.  Also really liked JT's debut song "Hunt You Down".  Another good one is "Wanna Make You Love Me" by a new guy named Andy Gibson.  Not much to it, just a good song.  And finally Josh Thompson's "Comin' Around".  I really connect with this song because I wasn't crazy about country music when I was growing up, I moved out of my small hometown the day after (literally, the day after) graduating from high school, and over the last 10 years I have enjoyed sitting in a church pew on Sunday mornings.  Now days I go to church because I want to, not because I have to.  You could say, I'm comin' around.  Give those songs a listen if you get time. 

I mentioned that Craig Morgan will be coming to Pensacola.  He has been added to the lineup for Bonfire Jam on the Beach, May 12th along with Ronnie Dunn, Sunny Sweeney and Brett Eldridge.  Tickets are on sale now at http://www.bonfirejam.com/  General admissions tix are $37.50, and there are a couple other ticket options, so be sure to get to their site and check it out. 

Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban have been added to the list of performers for this Sunday's ACM Awards!  Not sure what Keith will be singing, but Carrie announced that she will be singing her new single "Good Girl".  Those two are added to a list of performers that includes:  Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Blake Shelton, Rascal Flatts, Lady Antebellum, Chris Young, The Band Perry and quite a few more.  Blake and Reba will host the show again this year....7pm, April 1st on CBS. 

Look for Sugarland to perform a couple songs on Dancing With The Stars tomorrow (3/27) on ABC.  They'll perform "Run" with pop singer Matt Nathanson and then later in the show they'll do a new song called "Find The Beat Again".  I haven't seen DWTS this year, but I'm on Team Urkel, aka Jaleel White.  Can't help but feel sorry for him because when he's 80 years old people will still remember him as that dork Steve Urkel from Family Matters.  Go get 'em Urk!!!

FREE LUKE BRYAN TICKETS!!  All week long, we're going to post two Luke Bryan trivia questions on our facebook page (www.facebook.com/1027wxbm) .....one in the morning, and one in the midday, then between 2-7pm I'll ask for you to call in and give me the answers.  If you are the correct caller and can answer both questions, you'll win a pair of tickets to see Luke with James Otto and Frankie Ballard at the Wharf in Orange Beach, April 14th from Your Country 102.7 WXBM!

Thanks for listening to WXBM!  Have a great week.
