That Nashville Sound Saturday Newsbytes

It's been a big week of country music news so we've culled it here with some links for you to discover some new projects and videos that you might find of interest.

- Greensky Bluegrass announced that they'll have their next album Shouted, Written Down and Quoted will come out on September 23rd via the band’s own Big Blue Zoo Records/Thirty Tigers label. "You can call us an acoustic ensemble, or a drum-less rock band, or a rock & roll bluegrass band," says mandolin player Paul Hoffman, who, along with guitarist Dave Bruzza, handles most of the album's writing duties. "All of that shifting identity has taught us to cover a lot of ground. There's a flow to this album, just like there's a flow to our setlists. There are some aggressive, rocking moments. Some bouncy, funky moments. An acoustic think piece or two. It's a balance of moods and textures that we create as a band, almost like a mix tape."

- Sara Evans has signed to Sugar Hill Records and will release her eighth album in early 2017 for the new label.“It doesn’t have to be in any specific genre and that’s what I’m excited about,” says Evans. “I can sing really country and mountainy bluegrass, mostly because that’s what I was raised on, and how I first loved to sing. I definitely do have that. However, I can sing pop, country, blues and anything as long as it is a song that moves me. It’s kind of funny in the pitch meetings, because people might pitch a song and say, ‘Well, it’s not really country, it’s more on the pop side,’ and I’m like, ‘I don’t care about all of that. All I want is a great song.’”

- Check out this new music video from eclectic roots band The Devil Makes Three entitled "Champagne and Reefer."

- Dean Brody released the music video for his new single, "Bush Party."

- Listen to this great new cover of the Creedence Clearwater Revival song "Hey Tonight" by The Mavericks.

- Gavin DeGraw will be releasing a brand new album on Sept. 9 entitled Something Worth Saving and he's launched a PledgeMusic campaign with all kinds of fun swag that you can get if you're a fan.

-  Do yourself a favor and go over and pre-order the amazing book Without Getting Killed or Caught: The Life and Music of Guy Clark.  Author Tamara Saviano has carefully woven a beautiful dedication to one of this generation's finest storytellers and poets. Artists like Johnny Cash and Ricky Skaggs performed his tunes and nearly every Texas artist that has permanently marked that music landscape looks to the late artist as an icon. Saviano uses his deep music catalog and fantastic stories within the music business to celebrate in a way that's truly special. It's a must-read.

- Ryan Shupe and the RubberBand are releasing their newest album We Rode On on 8/19.

- Blackberry Smoke premiered their latest song "Believe You Me."

Sara Evans Plans New Album Release On March 4

Sara Evans has announced that she will release her seventh studio album Slow Me Down on March 4, 2014. The album comes a little over two years after the release of Stronger. The title track was released earlier this Fall and is currently in the low 30's on the radio charts. The video featuring NASCAR great Carl Edwards can be seen at http://tinyurl.com/SlowMeDownVideo.

Slow Me Down is co-produced with Mark Bright (Reba McEntire, Rascal Flatts, and Carrie Underwood) who Evans last worked with on her album Real Fine Place  in 2005. Slow Me Down sees Evans collaborating on three tracks “Better Off” with Country legend Vince Gill, “Can’t Stop Loving You” a duet with Isaac Slade of The Fray and a cover of Gavin DeGraw’s “Not Over You,” which features Gavin singing harmonies.
“Making Slow Me Down has been a truly amazing experience,” said Evans. “I had the chance to co-write with some of my favorite writers, work with Mark (Bright) and some truly incredible musicians  - and now hearing what we created gives me such an incredible sense of pride.  Having Isaac (Slade), Gavin (DeGraw), and Vince (Gill) sing with me, was an amazing experience and they took those songs to another level. I honestly have never been more excited to have everyone hear one of my albums. I cannot wait to share it with everyone.”
Evans co-wrote three of the albums eleven-tracks and there's a virtual who’s who of songwriters on the album include Dave Berg (Keith Urban, Reba McEntire, Blake Shelton), Shane McAnally (Florida Georgia Line, Kasey Musgraves, Kelly Clarkson), Karyn Rochelle (Trisha Yearwood, LeAnn Rimes, Ronnie Milsap), Sarah Buxton (Keith Urban, The Band Perry, Gary Allan), and Shane Stevens (Lady Antebellum, Kellie Pickler, Montgomery Gentry), amongst many others.
