Review: Single – “Home Sweet Home” by The Farm

Although it hasn’t been released to radio quite yet, the debut single of The Farm is creating quite the stir among social networking sites, like Twitter. The group, made up of Damien Horne, Krista Marie, and Nick Hoffman (who plays fiddle and guitar for Kenny Chesney), was signed to Warner Music Nashville in April of this year. The single isn’t set to release to radio until next month, but I couldn’t help but give it a listen. And I’m real glad I did.

The first thing that came to mind for me was how reminicent this song was to “Mountain Music” by Alabama. The melodies of Horne, Marie, and Hoffman are as smooth as those of Rascal Flatts and Lady Antebellum. They also remind me a bit of Little Big Town in the vocal and melody category. I think they definitely have potential to be the next big thing. I predict great things for this group, maybe even opening for Chesney next year on tour? Now there’s an idea, yeah? I wouldn’t miss that opening act, for sure.

Its not available to iTunes yet, or anywhere else, but keep your eyes open for it and buy it when it does become available. In the meantime, you can listen to it at The Farm’s Official Website.

RATING: 4 out of 5

POTENTIAL: Top 5 single

Most people know Nick Hoffman as Kenny Chesney’s fiddle player but what a lot of people don’t know is he is actually an incredible singer himself. If you’ve seen a Chesney show this year, you’ve heard Nick sing a little bit and got a taste of how he sounds. Well, get ready to hear a lot more from Nick because he has signed with the Warner Nashville/Elektra label groups. He along with his friends Krista Marie and Damien Horne, signed the record deal back in April as the trio, The Farm.

On his website, Nick blogged about the deal and talked about the direction the group is going and being in the studio recording their first album early this year. According to Nick, the group is visiting radio stations to promote the band’s first single entitled, Home Sweet Home. You can get updates on Nick, The Farm and check out some of Nick’s music by going to www.nickhoffman.com. You can also follow him on twitter, @nickfiddle and catch up with him on facebook. Nick is very excited about the future and so are we. Currently, you can see Nick on Kenny Chesney’s Goin’ Coastal tour.
