All of them except Randall are on their first albums, or at least first
major-label releases. Kind of the way the Dixie Chicks were counted as "New
Faces" last year. I'm not sure why that's such an irritation.

Different strokes for different folks. Moorer's been discussed here plenty;
Stockton, Nesler and Brock have all put out albums with some good stuff.
Randall's a talented guy whose first single (the title track from the new

country cut to please folks who have their knees under control.
