Joe Nichols goes Down Under
Tuesday, March 3, 2009 – Joe Nichols kicked off a multi-city tour of Australia Feb. 27 in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia and will spend 10 days touring the country. These dates mark the artist's first ever tour of Australia, and has been dubbed the Size Matters Tour.
"I've always been told that Australians love country music, and this is a great opportunity for me to present my music in a live setting to the country music fans there," Nichols said. "Of course because of the timing of the tour, I am unable to attend the Country Radio Seminar this year and will miss seeing all of my friends in radio. So might I offer a big g'day mate from down under?"
Shortly after his return, Universal Records South will release the debut single from Nichols' fourth studio CD. The first single will hit radio in April, and will be complemented by a tour of the U.S. No further details were available about the CD.

Such a lyrical tactic may grow tiresome quick, but hearing Nichols' resonant, traditional country singing voice will never ever get old.
Nichols is an extremely expressive singer, which is why he can sing ...
Joe Nichols suffers from a split personality. With a fine voice like his and songs from his past like Brokenheartsville, Nichols is strongly positioned to lay claim to being one of the very few last traditional country singers standing. There just aren't a whole lot of folks out there with the twang and phrasing (listen to how he holds the notes on the lead-off Just Let Me Fall in Love With You or the twang in Baby You're in Love With Me) out there like Nichols.
One of the prime ...
It's an instance of truth in advertising that Joe Nichols calls his new holiday album "A Traditional Christmas." Traditions are mostly wonderful things. Few would enjoy Christmas, for example, if it was celebrated completely differently every year. However, Nichols' new traditional album is a little too faithful to these familiar Christmas songs. It's as though he's being so careful, he won't open presents on Christmas morning for fear that he might mess up the wrapping paper. ...
