Get your earbuds ready for a plethora of new music landing on iTunes and at your favorite stores this spring.  The list is long and exciting with plenty of new music from today's hottest country stars, new music from some old friends and even some re-issues -- on vinyl!

Making Hawk headlines over the past few weeks are new releases by Blake Shelton, Keith Urban, Dierks Bentley, Cole Swindell, and our friend Frankie Ballard.  One of our hottest requests on Noon Toons and the All-Request Fly at 5 is 'My Church' from Maren Morris. Maren's debut release hits late spring.  Jon Pardi has people loving 'Head Over Boots;' look for Jon's new album June 17th.

Jennifer Nettles second solo album is getting some great early feedback and I am predicting that Drew Baldridge could give Luke Bryan a run for his money someday if country radio plays Drew.

Cyndi Lauper may be 'So Unusual,' but her first country album, 'Detour' has everyone rather curious.  Some old friends are back with new music including: Alan Jackson,  Lonestar, Martina McBride and Mary Chapin Carpenter.
