Message from Shania Twain:
We are looking for real, authentic talent and we are giving them a showcase where they can shine. We've each invited fresh new voices to our Real Country showcase. Then, we let real authorities, the country music fans, make the call. Jake Owen, Travis Tritt and I are there to help them and make them shine. We're not judging the artists. In country music it's all about the fans, so on our show the fans decide which artists they like the most. We have no vote! Tune in, tomorrow, Tuesday, November 13th on the USA Network and join us for some Real Country.

I can remember a time at my grandmother’s house when all I heard was the sweet sound of mandolins, banjos, fiddles, guitars while growing up in Virginia. She would put a record on her old record player or turn the dial on the radio to bluegrass and would be in the kitchen cooking up something special, usually it would be homemade chocolate syrup and buttered toast. Yummy!
The album has such a charm and uniqueness, the grounded roots of Kentucky shine through on this album. All the songs were written by Dennis Duff and he has six guest artists that include Paul Brewster (Ricky Skaggs band), Josh Shilling (Mountain Heart), Bradley Walker (Gaither Music), Holly Pitney (Mo Pitney band), and Darin and Brooke Aldridge (Mountain Home Music).

In his newest album john Arthur martinez (affectionately referred to as jAm by his fans) sets our lives to music and comes up with a most unique and soothing musical cocktail that effortlessly keeps us entertained over fourteen tracks. He has certainly mastered the art of songwriting and is one of the most articulate lyricists in any genre of music. He wrote five of the songs on this album by himself and co-wrote on eight others.
Not surprisingly, all of the songs on the album are lyrically strong, making it impossible to select a favorite and throughout the album you can detect what may have inspired a song by listening closely to the lyrics. Most country artists stay pretty close to whatever the current trend may be, but not jAm, he's a leader, not a follower, and you never know what will inspire him to write the next song. Creative is his middle name. Get the album, you won't be disappointed.
