Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Recent post-Voice releases include singles from a trio of male country artists we met on the show — Casey Muessigmann, Corey Kent and Cory Jackson.

Here’s a bit about each of those releases.

The links take you to the songs on Apple Music.

* Casey Muessigmann from Season 3 is back with another fun country tune, “This Truck Has Seen It All.” And Casey, who celebrated a birthday late last month, got his wish. In nine years of releasing music, he said he’d never had a song chart on iTunes. Well, “This Truck Has Seen It All” made it at least as high as number 137. A music video is coming too. Casey also recently released “I Love Jesus, But I Drink a Little.”

* Corey Kent from Season 8 released “Lightning Fast” on Friday. It’s about how fast time passes by. “I put a lot of heart into this song,” Corey writes on Instagram. He’s also celebrating 500,000 streams on Spotify for “Ain’t My Day,” a single he released back in July. The new single is the fourth this year from Corey, who competed on the show as Corey Kent White and has a bunch of shows scheduled this fall.

* Cory Jackson from Season 17 released the fun “Put Some Country in Your Country” on Friday. He wrote the song with Kathy Kay Wallace and Danny Busby, and it’s Cory’s first single in more than a year. “It has been very hard to keep this one a secret,” he writes on his website. I’ve been extremely excited for it all year long! I hope my fans love it as much as I do.” A matching music video will be coming soon. Meanwhile, check out Cory’s upcoming show dates.
