To get your site listed on the CSO main site "Artists Sites" page we have three major qualifiers;
1. You must be a country, alt-country or Americana artist or band.
2. You must have a CD for sale at least through your site or be signed by a record label with a verifiable CD on the way. This is done for one reason only, we already have the largest most accurate listing of any country music site on the net, if we didn't have some sort of restriction then we would be obliged to list every country cover band from Maine to Alaska. And nobody has that kind of time.
3. You must have a normal .com-type (or .net, .info, .fm, .biz, etc.) website besides your MySpace website. No free web sites like geocities or freewebs. Having a real website shows commitment to your career as a professional artist/band. Anything less is a bad reflection of yourself and CSO to the country music consumer.
We're working hard everyday to promote country music on the world wide web, we'll do our best for you, we ask that you do you best for yourself and us as well...
This Week on CSO:
Jewel - Perfectly Clear
By: Brianna
Nightingale
7/16/08
Some people I have run into seem to know
Jewel’s history while quite a few others do not have a clue. I will admit that I
was one of the clueless ones, and had no idea what kind of struggles she had
been through in her lifetime until recently, when I began listening to her
newest album. I find it very interesting, though, and easier to respect her for
who she is today...

The
Grascals By: Jim Moulton Keep On Walkin' is the Grascals first CD in a
couple of years, the sound is real traditional with hardly
any special effects. The harmonies on this CD are killer,
with memorable hooks from a great selection of songs...
Tabatha
& Southern Fry'd
By: Brianna Nightingale
One thing I love about the internet is that you can find
independent artists from around the world that you would
never have a chance of hearing on the radio. Many of them
are so good you want to turn the radio off and turn MySpace
on...
Charlie
Allen
By: George
Peden
He's more Tritt than Strait, more McGraw than Jackson, and more Otto than Keith.
But more than a casual and easy pigeon-slot comparison, newcomer Charlie Allen
is exciting and authentic. In essence: he is his own brand...
April
Taylor By: Jim
Moulton
Ok, I want to apologize for putting this off so long, it is just too good. April
Taylor is a special talent who has a remarkable CD with a great collection of
songs.
Waiting in the
Wings
Much
thanks to George Peden for picking up his bosses slack as we bring three
new acts to watch in this edition of CSO's Waiting in the Wings!
CountryStarsOnline.com began in October of 2000
as a place on the Web where people could learn about Country Stars Online Chat
sessions. Back then there were several going on each week and there was not a
central place to keep up with it. As time went on the chat sessions began to
fade and then disappeared altogether. A decision had to be made; do we continue
the site and take it in a different direction or toss in the towel? Well, here
we are six years later and my oh my, have we changed and grown.
Reviews, interviews, the largest and most
accurate country artist website listing you'll find anywhere, Indie Artists,
Special Features, contests and much more! In fact, I believe we have some of the
most interesting and informative reviewers in this business.
And now we've added this blog to the MySpace.com
phenomenon. Each week you can come here and see a little bit of what you'll find
on CSO's main site.
Thanks for stopping by, be sure and tell your
friends about MySpace and CountryStarsOnline.com.
