1. We like Taylor Swift, but how many times is her 1st album going to be re-released? She recently blogged about it on her MySpace. We are ready for some new Taylor tunes!!!
2. We are very excited for Sugarland's new one!!
3. We love Heidi Newfield's 1st solo single "Johnny and June"...we liked Trick Pony and were kind of sad when she left, but now we're thinking she just may have made the right move!
4. Two new Christmas albums...releases by Faith & King George...how can those CD's be anything less than fabulous?!?! But, UGH, we don't even want to think about Christmas right now!!
What about you guys? Is there any upcoming music that you can't wait to hear...or how about some that you think you can live without?
