New Music Tuesday - July 13th

Jerrod Niemann, Judge Jerrod & The Hung Jury: Country fans just can't get enough of newcomer Jerrod Niemann and his single "Lover, Lover" as it burns up the airwaves and ranks as the singer-songwriter's very first Top 10 hit. On the heels of that success, Jerrod releases his major label debut Judge Jerrod & The Hung Jury with a title that tells fans that the newcomer definitely has a sense of humor. And that statement holds true from the project's epic movie trailer spoof opening to the concluding notes on track number 20, so be sure to hang on tight for the ride in-between which features contributions from the pen of Jerrod himself, Jamey Johnson, John Anderson and more. This just may be one of the best debuts of the year; it definitely is the most unique so far.
