Jimmie Bratcher Sponsored by Westbrook Care Center Price: $5.00 Quantity: Just a few months ago, very few people outside Kansas City, Missouri knew there was a young, dynamic musician named Samantha Fish getting ready to take the world by storm. In fact, it's not all that long ago that the 22-year-old singer/guitarist first discovered the blues and started paying her dues on that city's local scene. Her deceptively mature voice is sultry, yet innocent at the same time, while she intensely wails away on guitar. This deveptively mature young woman has set out to show the world that although she may be young, she can certainly wail the Blues. (read more)

"I went backwards," Colt says. "I went back to Ride Through The Country." Which is not to say Colt simply re-hashed his breakthrough album. Quite the contrary, in fact. Declaration of Independence, released on Colt's own Average Joes Entertainment, will no doubt go down as one of the most noteworthy releases this year, which is saying a lot for a man who has already sold nearly a million albums and 3 million downloads. From planting his patriotic flag on the album's first track, "Answer to No One, "and closing the album with a prayer on the poetic, honest, and heartfelt "Angels and Demons," which features a conversation with God, the Athens, Georgia native has covered every human emotion on this record and then some.
