RIGHT ABOUT NOW REVIEWED AT ALLACCESS.COM
AllAccess.com has posted a great review of Right About Now that is currently featured in the Country music section of the AllAccess.com site.
Ty Herndon - Right About Now
Here's one that's probably been in your pile a few weeks. Maybe you haven't even listened. I suggest you get to a quiet place and take a second look. Give it an ear. You remember, like you used to listen to music. I've always been a sucker for Ty's stuff. I'm partial however, because the guy couldn't do enough for us when I was in radio and of all the artists that marched through, he may have been the most likeable of all. I also think that 'Living In a Moment," is one of the best singles that I've ever heard. I hate for the crap this guy's been through. But the good news is that he's still got it. 'Right About Now,' with it's sparse production, is soulful, haunting and compelling, the perfect background for one of the strongest vocal performances of his career. This may be the sleeper of the year. Play it.

RIGHT ABOUT NOW FEATURED ALBUM OF THE WEEK AT CSO
Right About Now is the featured album of the week for the week of January 28, 2007 - February 4, 2007 on CountryStarsOnline.com. Read the review by Cheryl Harvey Hill and you can even add your own comments about Right About Now.
Excerpt from CHH's review: "...as I listened to his voice infuse the lyrics of "We Are" to the depth of my being, it took my breath away. There are few artists today, or in the history of this genre, capable of delivering a song the way Herndon does. I'm not even sure I understand how or why his voice effects people so deeply the way it does but I do know that it does, because it affects me that way. A lot of folks are saying "he's back," but I've known him for many years and after listening to his new album, I wouldn't say he's back; I'd say he has finally arrived."
