Lee Brice with Candy Coburn  

Saturday, September 17, 2011 - 8:00 p.m.

“Once again I’m reviewing a long-delayed album by a Curb Records artist whose career I’ve been following since day one: Lee Brice. Included on “Love Like Crazy” are his first two chart hits, “She Ain’t Right” and “Happy Endings” (the #44 “Upper Middle Class White Trash” is omitted) as well as the title track. Now “She Ain’t Right” and “Happy Endings” are the best pair of leading singles that I’ve heard from a new artist in quite some time, so I had high expectations for this album. It does not disappoint..” Bobby Peacock, Roughstock Country Music Reviews, (June 9, 2010)

Welcoming Texaco as it’s brand new corporate sponsor, the 2011 Texaco Country Showdown shows promise to be their biggest and best ever and that’s saying something. Long before American Idol, Star Search, Nashville Star, etc., this talent contest has spotlighted so many musicians I just had to give them their due and spotlight in this months Musicians Spotlight column.”Bronson Herrmuth, Nashville Music Guide (2011)
