Jason Michael Carroll ~ Living His Music!

Just a few days ago, we directed you to an article written for the Toledo Blade by Brian Dugger about country star, Gary Allan...now Brian has written another article that we think you'll enjoy, and this time it's about up-and-coming star, Jason Michael Carroll. It's a fantastic article about how relating to the music is exactly what drives Jason and brings him closer to his fans. In a crazy life of contast touring and recording, Jason maintains that he wants his fans to know exactly who he is...and there's no better way to find that out than through his music! It's really a good article...you can check it out here.

For Our JMC Fans!!!

Jason Michael Carroll just released a video for his new single, "I Can Sleep When I'm Dead." The song rocks! It's upbeat and fun to sing along with. The video captures JMC's sense of humor (reminds us of something Brad Paisley would do!) Love the part when the fat guy face plants on the floor! Too funny!

We saw him at the CMA Fest and he was great! We weren't fans before we saw him live, but after seeing him on stage, we totally changed our minds. We'd still like to see him cut his hair, but we know some of you ladies out there totally dig the hair, so we won't hold it against him!!

We were chatting online earlier about the song and had a very typical for us blondies interesting conversation...

Erin: We should ask people what he says in that song, ya know the part "you're gonna hear my..."
Lauren: He says "you're gonna hear my V8."
Erin: "His V8 what?"
Lauren: His ENGINE, ya know? A V8 engine?
Erin: I know it's an engine, but what "you're gonna hear my V8..."
Lauren: SING he says "you're gonna hear my V8 SING"
Erin: An engine doesn't SING.
Lauren: His does.

Anyways, check out the new video over at CMT.com and let us know what you think!
