Dancing Star Turn Country Singer



Brad Paisley recently came to town for a concert (I work at a concert venue) Julianne Hough, the two time winner of Dancing With The Stars, was one of the opening acts for Paisley. Not sure of what to expect from Julianne I was defiantly pleased with her music, she can defiantly hold her own. Houghs debut album became the biggest opening week for a newcomer on the Top County Albums since Kelly Pickler. Her debut single That Song In My Head has done very well.
In my opinion, I was entertained by Julianne and she will do well. You can stream her album at her Official website
