Jason Michael Carroll - Waitin' in the Country (2007)

Jason Michael Carroll is a man who inspires believers from multi Platinum pop songstress, Jewel, to longtime John Mellencamp producer Don Gehman, and host of Nashville's top songwriters. And for this rich-voiced, 28 year old father of four, his Gehman-produced debut album showcases the heart, energy, and versatility that define Jason Michael and his music. His first single at radio was the most added new song for three weeks straight. Written by Carroll, 'Alyssa Lies' paints a searing portrait of the plight of an abuses schoolmate. At a time when the genre's at a crossroad, it's good to know there's a new voice on the rise that's comfortable wherever the music leads. For Jason Michael Carroll, though, it's not a matter of comfort' it's a matter of who he is at the very center of his being. One listen and you'll know.
