ALBUMS
Ma décision est prise. Je ne vais pas chroniquer des dizaines d'albums chaque mois mais, bien au contraire, être hyper sélectif en ne sélectionnant que ceux qui, selon moi, ont vraiment leur place sur ce site.
En voila une première ''fournée'' à vous de voir si j'ai bon goût... Ou pas :-(
Jeudi 11 juin 2026
Un physique tout droit sorti des années 50 avec sa petite moustache ; quatre ans de présence seulement sur la scène Country américaine et trois albums au compteur et, déjà, une renommée à rendre jaloux plus d'un(e) : Près de 7 millions de fans qui l'écoutent chaque mois sur Spotify !!!
Plus ''Country Trad'' que lui ?... Tu meurs !
Cerise sur le gâteau, à défaut d'être un auteur-compositeur, c'est un guitariste d'exception (Même Brad Paisley à du mouron à se faire !).
Thursday, June 11th
A look straight out of the 50s with his little mustache; only four years on the American Country scene and three albums under his belt, and already a reputation to make many jealous: Nearly 7 million fans who listen to him every month on Spotify!!!
More "Traditional Country" than him?... You'd be hard-pressed to find him! And to top it all off, while not a songwriter, he's an exceptional guitarist (even Brad Paisley has some serious competition!).

LUKE COMBS - The Way I Am - 20 mars 2026

MIDLAND -Stages - 12 juin 2026
Lundi 8 juin 2026
Cette fois il semble bien que le cowboy soit de retour sur selle ! Deux MAJ sur ce site en quelques jours seulement. Une chose qui ne m'est pas arriver depuis... Des mois ! alors reprendre le rodéo, autant que ce soit avec un bon cheval ! Jason Aldean est lui aussi de retour (depuis le 24 avril !) avec un douzième album, qui, je suis près à le parier depuis le premier des dix-sept titres est EXCELLENT !
Curieusement, comme pour Lenny Chesney (!!!), il m'aura fallu du temps pour apprécier à sa juste valeur cet artiste !
Il dispose pourtant, ce qui fait la marque indélébile des VRAIE star un style qui lui est particulier et reconnaissable, quasiment dès la première mesure d'une de ses chansons.
Une très belle voix et un Country-Rock musclé sont ses deux marques significatives.

Lundi 23 mars 2026
Après l'abandon de la version papier du magazine, il m'aura donc fallu trois bonnes semaines pour digérer l'affaire et m'y remettre !
En toute logique c'est plus particulièrement par la rubrique ''ALBUMS'' qu'il me semblait judicieux de redémarrer.

Les sorties du mois de mars (toutes ne seront pas, loin s'en faut !) traitées. Au passage, pour ma défense (?) sachez que certains albums n'ont strictement rien à faire dans cette liste d'albums considérés comme ''COUNTRY''.
