Okay, I admit it. I wasn't really a huge fan of "Holler Back" from The Lost Trailers, but the more I hear it, the more I like it. I was a fan of "Country Man", but I guess it just had to sink in. I'm putting their new CD titled (appropriately enough) "Holler Back" on the list of "gotta haves" this summer.
This really is the summer of Georgia music, and The Lost Trailers are just another example. Here's more info about the band:
Stokes Nielson and Ryder Lee were writing and producing music as early as high school in Alexandria, Virginia. Their first album together was the self-issued The Story of the New Age Cowboy in 2000. Initially, Ryder and Stokes worked with a bass guitarist and a drummer, forming a group known as Stokes Nielson & The Lost Trailers (later shortened to The Lost Trailers); the name was penned after the band's equipment trailers had been stolen for the third time.
At the time, one of the Lost Trailers, Stokes Nielson, was also working as a disc jockey for a radio station in Nashville, Tennessee. In 2000, after an interview with Willie Nelson, Stokes offered him a demo version of The Lost Trailers' material; Nelson immediately offered the band an opportunity to play at Nelson's annual Fourth of July picnic, which he held in Texas. Stokes assumed the role of songwriter and guitarist, with Ryder serving as keyboardist and vocalist. The Lost Trailers' membership was finalized with Stokes' younger brother, Andrew, as keys player, Jeff Potter as drummer, and Manny Medina as bassist. The band then gained a following throughout the Southeast and Texas, performing more than 200 shows yearly.

CMT is trying as hard as they can not to play Colt Ford more often, and its no wonder. He is the closest thing to real country music on that network, I don't care if he's rapping. Of course, they're trying to sell you on Colbie Caillat and an an old Michael Buble song (not that old) as country, so what would you expect in the 3 hours they play videos each day.
As much as I hate myspace, you can't discount its ability to tell you what's really going on with music. Its definitely not perfect, but the kids love that thing, and Colt Ford is the # 8 Indie artist on the country myspace charts, and on the way up. The people are trying to tell you something, CMT
Now that I've thrown CMT under the bus, I'm going to ask you to watch it tomorrow @ 11a.m. and vote for Colt Ford (or Sugarland, they're a Georgia band too) during Power Picks.

Listen to "All I Want To Do"
The Georgia Jukebox is Getting Ready for The July 29th release of Sugarland's new CD Love On The Inside, and the more we hear of and about the new Sugarland CD, the more we like.
The Atlanta Bands first release off of Love On The Inside, "All I Want To Do" has already hit the top 20 (its currently ranked 18th after 3 weeks), and its going nowhere but up the charts.
But we can share a little lost Jennifer Nettles music to help tide you over. Nettles, was in an Athens band in the 90s. Here's one of the songs from that band, Soul Miner's Daughter.

Colt Ford's new video for "No Trash In My Trailer" should start showing up on CMT, Colt's P.R. advisor told us on Wednesday night.
Here's the statement:
(Nashville, TN) –Georgia-native and independent country entertainer COLT FORD is making his debut on CMT with top-name celebrities supporting his fresh style of country music. Beginning on Thursday, June 12th, fans can tune-in to CMT to watch Ford's video for "No Trash In My Trailer." In addition to the celebrity cameo appearances from John Michael Montgomery, Steve Azar, Rhett Akins, Stephen Cochran, Vinny (from Trailer Choir), Brantley Gilbert, and CMT's own Lance Smith—this special CMT exclusive edit will also feature footage from the new network show, Mobile Home Disaster.
The video was produced by Tacklebox Films and shot by notable directors, The Brads, in Springfield, Tennessee in late May. "The treatment was designed to depict how country folks live," says Ford. "I am as country as it gets, so I'm not poking fun of that lifestyle by any means. I think it's a large part of American culture and I hope everyone enjoys our interpretation!"
Artists and critics agree that his approach is unlike anything currently at radio or on TV today. "Colt Ford is a star, plain and simple. 'No Trash' brings together the best of artists like Toby Keith, Kid Rock and Hank Jr. and delivers them in one big, stone-cold country package. In a time when a lot of country music sounds similar, Colt's stuff will absolutely turn your head," says Randy "Mudflap" Wilcox, of WEGX-FM.
Ford's 2008 album Ride Through The Country is available now at www.coltford.com with physical album slated for release in July 2008. No stranger to incorporating friends in his projects, Ford's record features artists John Michael Montgomery, Jamey Johnson, Brantley Gilbert, Bonecrusher, Attitude, Jeremy Popoff (of Lit), and Adrian Young (of No Doubt).
Fellow songwriter and co-writer of "Cold Beer" from Country, Jamey Johnson has helped introduce Ford to several of the other Nashville singer/songwriters that appear on the album and in the video. "Colt Ford is a unique man taking on a big job," says Johnson. "Trying to mix rap and hard core country music is like trying to blend oil and water. He might be the only man in town that knows the recipe."
Ford acknowledges that his success didn't happen overnight, and he credits his fans for the overwhelming response at the shows and for the Top 20 MySpace success. However, at the end of the day Ford still says the music is the fundamental force driving his success. "I've been fortunate to make friends with several people in town since coming up to Nashville to record." As former PGA golfer, Ford says, "I give golf tips to a lot of celebrities, so when they learn I write and then hear the music, the relationships and writing sessions seem to develop naturally. I've been incredibly blessed to work with such talented people and have the opportunity to make music for a living."
