Carlene Carter - Carter Girl (2014)
Rodney Crowell - Tarpaper Sky (2014)
Esteemed musician, songwriter and author Rodney Crowell has teamed up with New West Records to release Tarpaper Sky, his new self-produced album. It comes fast on the heels of Old Yellow Moon, Crowell s critically lauded collaboration with Emmylou Harris, which won a 2013 Grammy® Award and was named 2013 Album of the Year by the Americana Music Association.
Crowell has pushed the boundaries of country, folk and roots music since long before the term Americana was coined as a genre, making a name for himself and gaining respect as both a songwriter and as an artist. Celebrating 40 years of making music, Crowell has created an album that harkens back to some of his most revered and loved works. Tarpaper Sky would sit comfortably on the shelf right between the chart-topping fan favorite Diamonds and Dirt (1988) and Life Is Messy (1992). This album marks a reunion of the creative partnership of Crowell and musical accomplice Steuart Smith, who was an integral part of his overall sound during the late 80s.

Ronnie Dunn "Peace love and country"
The son of a country music enthusiast, Dunn was born in Coleman, Texas, and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Playing in bands since his teens, he briefly studied psychology and theology at Abilene Christian College. Expelled from the school for "performing in honky tonks," he continued to attract attention with his Tulsa nightclub performances. Although Dunn recorded several tunes for Churchill Records in 1983 and 1984, none provided a breakthrough. He fared much better four years later, when an appearance in the Marlboro National Country Music talent contest led to an opportunity to record in Nashville. Brought together with Brooks, who despite writing songs for Crystal Gayle and the Oak Ridge Boys had found little success with his own recordings (by Tim DuBois), Dunn finally discovered a formula for success.
Brooks & Dunn’s 1991 debut, Brand New Man, was a hit right from its release, launching a career that proved to be one of the most successful in contemporary country music. Ronnie Dunn played with Kix Brooks for nearly two decades, and during that time they were always at the top of the country charts, racking up an astonishing 20 number one singles during that time. The duo announced an amicable split in 2009 followed by a farewell tour in 2010. Dunn was the first of the pair to launch a solo career, releasing a self-produced eponymous solo album in the summer of 2011. Ronnie Dunn debuted at number one on the U.S. country charts and had a Top Ten single in "Bleed Red."

SHANE MORKIN new album"Craz y ‘bout You"
Shane Morkin
is a singer-songwriter from Denmark.
Despite that Shane Morkin has been playing
for many years at gigs and festivals, and has
been writing more than 100 songs the last 10
years, then he didn't start to record his songs
before in 2011, where he was number 4 at
the Hard Rock Rising competition in
Copenhagen at the Hard Rock Cafe.
This was not enough to get a record contract,
but gave Shane the faith to keep on his work,
and he have now made his next step and
created his first CD.
Besides the hits ‘Dusty Road’ and ‘One More Time’ the CD contains 10 more songs
which all are written by Shane Morkin.
In 'The King Minion Music Podcast' they said: “When I first heard the song "Crazy 'bout
You" I played it again, then again then again. I was hearing the tune in my sleep. Audio
infectiousness that’s what I call it. Shane Morkin from Denmark and his song ‘Crazy
‘bout You’ are catchy. He is a pop/rock/country artist yet I get chills and hear shades of
“The Kinks” in this song.”
A recent review of his first album "Crazy 'bout You" described him thus: "it's not
country, it's not rock or pop, it's Shane Morkin who is bringing his own brand of rock
and roll to the public".
When listening to the CD you soon discover that you have come in the company of a
number of well-written ballads and pop tunes which is characterized by a love of both
country music, 60s music and legends like Traveling Wilburys.
Shane Morkin's new album 'Crazy 'bout You' is released the 2.nd of December, 2013
and the album is produced by the well-known Henrik Skriver who has produced music
for several big Danish artists the last 30 years as well as he has been playing in the
former Poul Krebs Band.
