"A Little Bit Stronger," the new single from Sara Evans, sounds like a classic Sara single–great lyrics sung by one of the most powerful and pure voices in the format. It's also a sound that has been missing on the charts of late, so I hope that this one breaks through the glut of material out there. It deserves to be heard and this is quite simply a hit record. Impacting September 27th.

The first time I heard this song, I got chills. Even more so as the song went on, I got tears in my eyes. Now, I know I'm a chick and that's what chicks do is cry when it's a sad song or a sad sappy movie, but when you know someone who has suffered from Alzheimer's this one really hits home. Newcomer Brett Eldredge really hits it out of the park for his debut single on Atlantic/WMN. I'm not even going to tell you what this is about because you can probably guess, but I will tell you that you will most likely have the reactions I had when listening to it, and it's guaranteed to get immediate response from listeners. If you think the song is good, just wait 'til you see the video - and get your tissues ready! Impacting 9/27.

The new entry from Dierks' critically acclaimed "Up On The Ridge" album is "Draw Me A Map," which is refreshingly simple in its approach and production. Compared to a lot of the stuff that gets so over-produced this is like a breath of fresh air, and it sure is nice to hear those haunting fiddle and dobro lines. The entire album is great, and this single is no exception. Impacting now.

Admit it – you know you're going to want to listen to this song based on the title alone. At least, that's what my first thought was as soon as I saw the Play MPE alert that Walker Hayes' "Pants" was now available to download. As soon as I hit play, this song had me bobbing my head and dancing along from start to finish. Walker writes undeniably catchy and clever lyrics and can hit a falsetto note without even trying. This guy is not afraid to be different and this song will definitely generate a response as soon as it hits the airwaves. Ladies are going to love it and men are going to learn to accept it – after all, they know who really wears the pants. Impacting 9/7.
