That Nashville Sound Saturday Newsbytes - New Music Videos & New Albums From Ray Wylie Hubbard & Crystal Shawanda

Things around the world seem to be trending in the right direction. With rare exception, hospitals are far less busy than they thought they might be and the estimates that experts are throwing around for COVID-19 fatalities drops by the day.  Hopefully, we can continue this trend and get our music venues open sooner than later so our favorite artists can do what they do.

~ Fresh off a new record deal with Big Machine Records, Texas legend Ray Wylie Hubbard announced that his July 10 release will be a star-studded affair called "Co-Starring."  The renegade poet as a roadhouse saint brought together an eclectic mix of guests for Co-Starring, his first ever high-profile label release. Ringo Starr, Joe Walsh, the Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson, Ronnie Dunn, Don Was, Larkin Poe, Pam Tillis and The Cadillac Three were just a few who clamored to jam, sing and generally be in the studio with the wizened icon.
Included are bluegrass/folk legend Peter Rowan on the tender “Hummingbird,” emerging Nashville renegade Ashley McBryde on the tough girl homage “Outlaw Blood,” SiriusXM femme fatales Paula Nelson and Elizabeth Cook on the randy “Drink ‘Til I See Double” or the trippy rocker Aaron Lee Tasjan on the elegiac “Rock Gods."

~ Jamie Lin Wilson covered John Prine this week.  As usual, she's divine on "You Got Gold."

~ Tim McGraw released a video shot last year with him covering "All The Gold in California" with LOCASH.

~ Jack Ingram went to Facebook with a new track appropriate for the times called "Times Like These."

~ Jason Eady (with an assist from his bride Courtney Patton) played an hour and a half of songs that influenced his own songwriting from his living room.

~ First Nation artist Crystal Shawanda has released a new blues album called Church House Blues.  Shawanda is an Indigenous musician, who grew up on the Wikwemikong reserve on an island in Ontario, Canada. Her parents taught her to sing and play guitar and encouraged her to play country songs, but she grew up in a home filled with the music her oldest brother loved most: the blues.

She was signed as country artist to RCA Records in 2007 producing a Top 20 hit on country radio, sold over 50,000 copies in the US, went Top 20 on Billboard’s Country Albums chart, but left Crystal feeling like a fish out of water. While on the road promoting the album, visiting
radio stations she wrote “The Whole World’s Got the Blues,” inspired by the music she loved to overhear in her youth. She told RCA Nashville she wanted to make blues albums, formed her own label and began making the blues music that to Crystal, is her true calling.

Now signed to True North Records, Church House Blues is Crystal’s fourth blues album. Crystal has performed for the Obamas in the 2013 Inauguration and she has served as a board of director for Nike 7 for the past 11 years.

A Thousand Horses Prep New Album For Early June Release

Artist: A Thousand Horses
Album: Bridges
Label: Big Machine
Release date: June 2, 2017

This new release will put a new spotlight on this band of brothers – Michael Hobby (lead vocals), Bill Satcher (lead guitar), Zach Brown (guitar), and Graham Deloach (bass). Bridges shows their fusion of Southern rock and country soul, featuring six new tracks and seven acoustic live renditions – including a version of their breakout smash, “Smoke.”

Lead single “Preachin’ to the Choir” is already climbing at Country radio. A laid back, lighters-in-the-air anthem, the summertime rocker is all about living life for good times and Saturday nights – and surrounding yourself with people who do the same.

Bridges was jointly produced by studio aces Corey Crowder and Dann Huff, with the band calling their own shots on each of the seven live tracks. Determined to set those live tracks apart from the rest, six were recorded “Live to Vinyl” at London’s Metropolis Studios and “Smoke” filled the air of Nashville’s famous Printer’s Alley.

Featuring titles like “Blaze of Somethin’,” “Burn Like Willie” and “Weekends In a Small Town,” the four band members were joined by in-demand co-writers like Ross Copperman, Ryan Hurd, The Cadillac Three’s Jaren Johnston, Heather Morgan, Josh Osborne, and the Warren Brothers.

Bridges follows A Thousand Horses’ 2015 breakout album, Southernality, a Top 5 hit that features the GOLD-certified #1 debut “Smoke.”

Record Store Day Limited-Run Vinyl Releases Include Cash, Church, Parton, Clark, Isbell, Cadillac Three & More

Record Store Day was conceived in 2007 at a gathering of independent record store owners and employees as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding nearly 1400 independently owned record stores in the US and thousands of similar stores internationally. Today there are Record Store Day participating stores on every continent except Antarctica.

This is a day for the people who make up the world of the record store—the staff, the customers, and the artists—to come together and celebrate the unique culture of a record store and the special role these independently owned stores play in their communities. Special vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day. Festivities include performances, cook-outs, body painting, meet & greets with artists, parades, DJs spinning records, and on and on. In 2008 a small list of titles was released on Record Store Day and that list has grown to include artists and labels both large and small, in every genre and price point. The list continues to include a wide range of artists, covering the diverse taste of record stores and their customers.

While there’s only one Record Store Day a year, the organization works with both independent and and major labels throughout the year to create contests, special releases and promotions in order to spotlight the benefits of supporting these independent, locally owned stores with music purchases throughout the year. This year, the event will be held on April 22, 2017 and there are a number of country music releases including the following:

Eric Church - Caught in the Act (Live) - 2x LP (2,500 limited red vinyl run with t-shirt)
