New Music Video From Rodney Atkins - "A Little Good News" (Anne Murray Cover)

Rodney Atkins on this Anne Murray cover, "This song started tugging on my heart about a year ago. I actually began recording it when the pandemic hit in early Spring of 2020 and kept hitting stumbling blocks. My wife Rose refused to let me give up on it, saying people really need to hear it.  I pray this will touch and lift up all the heavy hearts this last year has affected and remind us that this country has been through hell before, and we came out stronger together. By the grace of God, we will again!"

Anne Murray Prepares Autobiography For October Release

Born and raised in Springhill, Nova Scotia, Anne Murray has enjoyed an unparalleled career, delighting millions with her signature voice and time-honoured songs. Over a four-decade-long career, she’s sold 54 million records, putting more than 30 pop hits, 50 country tunes and over 40 adult contemporary songs on the Billboard charts.

Her next role in life? Author. In late October, Murray will be releasing an autobiography entitled All Of Me. In this revealing autobiography, Canada’s first lady of song, for the first time, tells the whole story of her astonishing 40-year career in show biz. It is a candid retrospective of the extraordinary success achieved, and the prices that had to be paid.

“After ‘Snowbird’ hit, I was swept up like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, and catapulted into a strange new universe … If I thought for a moment that I was really in control of events, I was deluded.” Anne Murray

An unflinching self-portrait of Canada’s first great female recording artist, All Of Me documents the life of Anne Murray, from her humble origins in the tragedy-plagued coal-mining town of Springhill, Nova Scotia, to her arrival on the world stage. Anne recounts her story: the battles with her record companies over singles and albums; the struggle with drug- and alcohol-ridden band members; the terrible guilt and loneliness of being away from her two young children; her divorce from the man who helped launch her career, Bill Langstroth; and the deaths of two of her closest confidantes.
