Best Country 2007
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Over the past few years, I’ve been participating in the annual critics’ poll for Nashville Scene, an alternative weekly in the Tennessee capital. It’s like a country music take on the Village Voice’s annual critics’ poll. Since I put this together for the poll, I thought I’d share it here on our blog. So, here are my top 10 country albums and singles of 2007. What are your country favorites of 2007?

Shane, great lists!! Miranda’s cd is a joy to listen to, especially her cover of Easy From Now On. Look for Trisha to knock it out of the park with future singles from her cd, as it’s just as packed with hits as Miranda’s.
