I'm really not sure where the summer went, but August is here now and the last remaining days of summer are proving to be pretty filled with good music. Here's a list of some big releases coming your way in the coming months:

August 17th- Ray LaMontagne & The Pariah Dogs, God Willin' and the Creek Don't Rise

After three solo albums, Grammy-nominated folk act, LaMontagne will be joined by the legendary musicians, backing up his gritty and earthy sound. The first single "Beg, Steal or Borrow" sounds a lot more full and a little twangy, but LaMontagne's unique vocals are still at the forefront.

August 24th-

Jeremy Camp, We Cry Out
Camp appears to have the Midas touch when it comes to putting out records. This Worship project will be his seventh outing and is sure to be another success for the talented musician. "Jesus Saves" is already getting airplay, and many Camp covers like "Everlasting God" and "Mighty to Save" will also be present. Look for more heartfelt praise, and a new tour from him soon.

Katy Perry, Teenage Dream
This one is sure to be a blockbuster follow-up to her 2008 One of the Boys smash success. No more kissing girls or waking up in Vegas for her. Despite the pop fun of summer anthem "California Gurls," Dream promises to go much deeper than her last disc did. Don't worry, it will still be one of those guilty pleasure discs, but perhaps our pop princess is growing up a little with her upcoming wedding to Russell Brand on the horizon. Her new single "Teenage Dream" dropped last week and its popularity is still soaring.

September 21st- Maroon 5, Hands All Over
Funk crooners responsible for hits like "This Love," "Wake Up Call," and "She Will Be Loved" will be dropping their third and perhaps, final album next month. Rumors of retirement and wanting to quit while they're young and ahead has fans all hoping it's not true. "Misery," their first single, is seeing increasing airplay and a big tour is on beginning in October. We'll have to wait and see!

October 5th- Matthew West, The Story of Your Life
Recently, West put out a call to fans to send stories of hope and restoration and thousands answered. His new disc will feature songs based on fan responses collaborated under the common theme. The first single, "My Own Little World" challenges the listener to step outside their bubbles and to reach out to those around them. Lyrics include the great line "What if there's a bigger picture, what if I'm missing out? Show me there's a greater purpose I could be living right now."
