ole's MATT TURNER'S TOP 10

1. If You Love Long Enough
Writers: Roger Springer / Tony Ramey
Description: Male Country Uptempo
Comment: This fun, uptempo country tune is about an older/wiser man giving a younger man a lesson in how to love. Don't give up on love ... there may be hard times, but "If You Love Long Enough" the bad times will get better. Young people need to listen to older people that have "been there, done that"!

2. 1929
Writers: Kaci Bolls / Joshua Rush / Kent Agee
Description: Female Country Uptempo
Comment: Ladies get your red dresses on...gentlemen, get on your Zoot Suits! This dancin' party tune is a great mix of uptempo 1920s music with enough steel guitar and fiddle to make it country! No matter how bad things get we can always have a good time! Who cares about 1999 ... We're gonna party like it's "1929"!!

3. Sleep Walking

Writers: Steven Lee Olsen / Michael Linney / Lauren Evans
Description: Male Pop/Urban Midtempo
Comment: Steven Lee is an extraordinary singer/songwriter and this song proves his versatility. While Steven can write a classic country tune one day, he can write a song like this the next that could be heard all over Top 40 radio! I love everything about this song... from the lyrics to the beat to the vocal! Enjoy!

4. Timeless

Writers: Kelly Archer / Walt Aldridge
Description:Female Country Ballad
Comment: The title of this song is appropriate! This song talks about the things in this life that are truly "Timeless". From books to music to love, there are things is life that are just good in the moment, but there is a step above that we'll remember forever. Those things and moments last forever. Kelly sings this song with raw emotion and truly sells the idea!

5. Watching You Walk Away

Writers: Willie Mack / Troy Kokol / Kenny Sitter
Description: Male Country Ballad
Comment: SOh heartbreak! A country song needs heartbreak and this has plenty of it. A beautiful building from verse to chorus makes this song evoke plenty of emotion as the man in the story watches the love of his life walk away from him while he wishes she would stay, but there's nothing he can do but watch..

8. There Has To Be A Heaven

Writers: Gerald O'Brien / Catt Gravitt / Tania Hancheroff
Description: Female Country Ballad
Comment: Tania Hancheroff delivers a vocal that should be nominated for a CMA or ACM award for "Best Female Vocal Performance"! She sings the fire out of this song about someone going through trying times in life thinking "There Has To Be A Heaven" because without it we would have no hope.

9. This'll Be A Memory

Writers: Liz Rose / Aaron Scherz
Description:Male Country Midtempo
Comment: Life is a series of events and some make a lasting impact we call a "Memory". Memories are "a moment I keep in the back of my mind", as the song correctly states. Whether they are good or bad, memories last a lifetime. What would life be without memories? Boring! Go create some!

Comment: This raw, rockin' country tune is one of my favorites for sure! Liz and Lori combine great lyrics and a wonderful melody to create a hit tune destined for #1 on the charts! The progression from beginning to end is fantastic and makes you feel like a part of the song and makes you share the emotion with the woman in the story.
