“Spurs of the Moment” is your up-to-date source for all happenings in the country music community. Make sure to check in bi-weekly to see just what’s going on with your favorite country singers and stars!
Last week, Universal Music Group made a ground breaking decision. In the wake of free downloads and digital listening, CD profits have taken a nose dive. So Universal, whose country division includes Sugarland, George Strait and Josh Turner, has decided to lower its CD prices to $10 or less. Hoping the drop in price will be made up in increased sales, Universal also plans on releasing higher- priced deluxe or special edition compilations that offer exclusive content. This is an extremely smart move on Universal’s part, but the question remains, : Is it too late to raise CD sales from the dead?
Danny Gokey
The latest Idol-gone-country has released his first single. Danny Gokey, the 2nd runner up of last season’s American Idol competition, has stepped out as a country singer because of the focus on true messages and personal stories our the genre offers. Known as the emotional ballad- belter, Danny has a real future in country. Take a listen to his first single “My Best Days Are Ahead of Me,” and find out for yourself!
