Country Side CD music. Jarrod Birmingham is the real thing in a country music scene filled with poseurs, "real" country in the same way that, say, Merle Haggard and Dwight Yoakam are but Garth Brooks never really was. He even namechecks his idols (Haggard, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, etc.) in the opening track, "Best I Can," but he's wise not to put himself on their level. A former professional bull rider from the Texas gulf coast, Birmingham favors hell-raising honky tonk with a rock edge over pop-friendly balladry. This is definitely a good thing, although Birmingham protests a bit too much; besides the opener, he delivers "Guilty," a somewhat defensive song about his desire to be "a honky tonk singer in a honky tonk band," and later, "If That Ain't Country" rings yet another set of changes on the theme. Thing is, the rest of Stages obviates any need for Birmingham to fret about what people think of his music or his intentions, because pedal steel-enhanced honky tonk weepers like "Whiskey and Lies" and good old-fashioned two-step rave-ups like "Cheap Wine" make a stronger case for Birmingham's artistic choices. ~ Stewart Mason

With an intense sound that abundantly encompasses such a broad genre of musical artistry (influences such as Kim Burrell, the Clark Sisters, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, India Arie, Tye Tribbett, Kierra Sheard, etc.
), Marian's debut album has just the right variety of music and anointing to be positioned at the top of the charts.
Born and raised in Clarksdale, Mississippi, Marian Hickmon is known and loved as a sister, daughter, friend, praise leader and a vocalist. Marian's contemporary sound was developed with time, but her God-given talent was nurtured by singing in the church. She began singing in the children's choir and later sang in the adult choir. She also received choral training for two years as a member of the Mississippi Delta Community College Show Choir. Marian's main influence comes from her father, Pastor Michael Hickmon. He trained Marian at an early age to develop her gift by singing solos and taught her the importance of having quality and control. Her parents can recall her singing when she first began to talk. They were convinced that she had something special to share with the world. She started out as a bright little girl with a big voice and ...
