Jonathan Parker - They'll Never Play My Songs In Nashville 2013

Jonathan Parker - They'll Never Play My Songs In Nashville 2013

Jonathan Parker & The Bel-Airs, are a no apologies, traditional, country/honkytonk band from deep in the moonshining swamps of Johnston County NC. Jonathan Parker began his trek in the music business 13 years ago in the rock/alternative world with his heavy rock band, The Cardinal Effect. After extensive touring in support of their tribunal records, debut LP, the group disbanded and went their separate ways. A hard hitting rock bottom, following a long battle with drug addiction, led Parker back down the path he'd always dreamed of. With hopes of someday being able to write, record, and tour with his own brand of traditional country music, he started piecing together a "strictly traditional" country band. Later forming what is now known as his band, The Bel-Airs: Jonathan Parker on Lead Vocals and Acoustic Guitar, Kelly Allen on Lead Guitar, Danny Kelly on Drums, Jimmy Mitchell on Bass Guitar and Backing Vocals, and the legendary Clyde Mattocks on Pedal Steel Guitar. After constructing a collection of original material and several honkytonk gigs under their belt, the band have finally made plans to release their debut LP, "They'll Never Play My Songs In Nashville", in the spring of 2013. In a world of watered down BS, force fed by today's radio, Jonathan Parker & The Bel-Airs are certainly a breath of fresh air to any traditional country/honkytonk fan! For fans of : Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Vern Gosdin

GEORGE DUCAS  -- 4340

George Ducas celebrates the release of 4340 (from Loud Ranch), his first full-length release since his critically acclaimed Capitol Records releases. The new project is signatured as another George Ducas Original trademarked by his contemporary edge and timeless content. The 12-song CD is scheduled for an October 29, 2013 release.

Without exception, 4340 showcases Ducas’ talents to illuminate storylines with defining imagery that brings lyrics to life. With co-writes alongside Keifer Thompson (Thompson Square), Jim Beavers (“Red Solo Cup”/Toby Keith, “5150”/Dierks Bentley), Radney Foster, Jon Henderson and Jason Matthews, the album is stocked with radio worthy tracks and lined with carefully painted musical canvasses featuring song titles such as “CowTown” (at country radio now), “Ain’t That Crazy,” “Love Struck,” “Amnesia,” “Give Me Back My Honky Tonk” “White Lines And Road Signs” and “I Need To Love You.”


Since making his entry in the country music genre as a deep-rooted traditionalist and defined vocalist who brought a contemporary edge to the format, George enjoyed success as a Nashville major label recording artist (Capitol Nashville) with a string of hits including his Top 10 single "Lipstick Promises.”

With a noticeable personal “presence missed” on mainstream radio in recent years, it is only the sound of his voice that was silent in the interim. Holding his position as a relevant member of the songwriting community and a mainstay in the recording industry, Ducas’ musical compositions have been recognized by his peers and heard loud and clear over the airwaves. His reputation as masterful tunesmith has made him a sought-after songcrafter in a league of his own; Ducas is indeed the essence of "musicianship."

In line with his own recording credits, Ducas’ name can be found behind the pen of some of country music's biggest hits including: Sara Evan's No. 1 "Real Fine Place To Start," Josh Thompson's "Won't Be Lonely Long," The Eli Young Band's "Always The Love Songs" as well as cuts recorded by George Jones, The Dixie Chicks, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood and the Randy Rogers Band, only to name a few.

"I’m really just a ‘regular Joe;’ I enjoy writing a good song, a hot cup of coffee, a cold beer and rolling down highway miles with the band to bring the music to the folks who want to hear it, night after night." Ducas introduces. “I’ve had good fortune to become the voice for other artists and in the meantime, I am blessed to have become a dad—twice George released the debut single "CowTown" (written by Ducas and Jim Beavers) introducing it first to the folks in his home state; the track received overwhelming welcome in the Lone Star state (climbing into the Top 10 on the Texas Music Charts). The sure-fire hit is currently enjoying "want more" applause from country radio and its listeners new and old. [Spin Doctors Promotions-Nashville is spearheading the radio promotion effort.]


“I’m not a ‘newbie’ in the industry by any means, but I’m okay with being recognized as a new artist by the industry and fans; we all need to reinvent ourselves to stay current. I want this project to stand on its own two feet, it's not a departure of where I've been, or who I am, but an example of how I’ve grown," Ducas expands.

A ‘snapshot’ from a musical perspective, 4340 is bits and pieces of my personal relationships, growth and downfalls and because we all experience similar feelings, I think my music relates to many. That's what a good song does; it just expresses feelings about experiences and the story behind them. This time, I'm using my voice to tell it."

Ducas is set to embark on the third-leg of his radio promotion tour—heading to the West Coast. The CD will be distributed by Select-O-Hits and available via all major Internet retail outlets including Amazon, iTunes and Rhapsody.

Garth Brooks

It's been way too long since Garth Brooks sent a new song to country radio stations . Just more than five years when he released " Midnight Sun " in 2008. So I'd say the world is very, very ready for new music .
Brooks publican industry publication Country AIRCHECK all about when and if new stuff will be part of the 2014 comeback. He just sent his duet with his wife Trisha Yearwood " The Call " to radio, so he talked about why that song is so special two heavens .
"It's about that point in a relationship when you make the decision Whether what you have is worth fighting for , or is it just Easier to call it ' friends ' and live life from there , " Brooks said. " Everybody goes through this , Miss Yearwood and I were in the middle of it in 2002-03 . " The version playing on the radio now is just Brooks and Yearwood . Intentionally . There's no big band behind them .
"We tried cutting this song with a full band but kept going back to the Wynn performance where it's just like two people talking to each other . The echo -type piece in this is something I have not seen since ' Mockingbird ' with James Taylor and Carly Simon , "he said. "I love how unique this song sounds and when you bring it down to just two voices and a guitar , the conversation happens . "

Brandy Clark - 12 Stories 2013

12 Stories, Brandy’s debut album as an artist, is full of diverse characters. There’s the woman in first single “Stripes” who fantasizes about killing her cheating husband, but doesn’t want to be caught dead in an orange jumpsuit. There’s another who asks Jesus for help, but plays the lottery just in case in “Pray to Jesus.” And there’s the bored housewife in “Get High” who escapes daily drudgery by rolling joints at the kitchen table.

“I get my inspiration from real people who are just surviving their life and getting through their day. That’s who I write songs for,” explains Brandy. “I want to write songs for somebody who is working at a bank—if that person could write a song, what they would write. That’s my goal.”

Prior to 12 Stories, Brandy achieved that goal by penning songs for other artists. Reba McEntire and Kenny Rogers have both recorded her songs. Darius Rucker, Sheryl Crow and Kacey Musgraves have Brandy compositions on their new albums. And The Band Perry gave Brandy her first No. 1 single with “Better Dig Two,” followed shortly after by another No. 1 in “Mama’s Broken Heart,” cut by Miranda Lambert.

Kristy

After a year based in the United States, Kristy Cox is returning to Australia for a special show at the 2014 Tamworth Country Music Festival to showcase tracks from her forthcoming album Living For The Moment .

The album is due for world-wide release on February 18 through US bluegrass label Pisgah Ridge and is described as "a perfect representation of where this talented singer/songwriter is in her personal and professional life".

First single from the album – One Heartbreak Away – hit the airwaves earlier this month.

Kristy's career has been going from strength to strength since the release of her debut album From My Eyes in 2006. She has had a string of top 10 hits on country radio and country music television and has been recognised as a rising star of Australian country.

In her career so far, she has been a Star Maker finalist and APRA Professional Development Award finalist and her subsequent albums – Breaking New Ground (2010) and Miles And Timezones (2012) have all earned her praise for her songwriting capabilities.

Signing to Pisgah Ridge (an imprint of Mountain Home) in the US was a huge coup for the songstress and saw her move to the States for most of 2013 to work on the new album. She also signed an exclusive songwriting contract with Asheville Forest Music.

Picking One Heartbreak Away as the first single from the new album was an easy decision, Kristy said: "It's a great up-tempo bluegrass track about a relationship that's worth keeping, but that some things need to change. The song is a great reflection of where the album heads musically and how it expands on the bluegrass influences of my previous projects."

The album is a mixture of self-penned and chosen material and is an apt representation of where Kristy is heading musically, according to a spokesman for the artist.
