| Aaron Neville on Lisa's Walk The Talk Show Aaron Neville is Lisa's featured guest on Lisa's Walk The Talk Show Friday December 12/8/06. Listen to this man of faith tell his story in this one hour show and hear his new tracks from his new CD, Aaron Neville Bring It On Home...The Soul Classics, and his Christmas CDs. During the interview Aaron sings a few bars of O Holy Night in a style and voice that is iconically, Aaron. A few of Lisa's Walk The Talk Show featured guests include: Rivers Rutherford, Moot Davis, Chris Jones, Aaron Neville, Corb Lund, Crista Lynn, Bryan White, Jack Witteveen, Johnny Rodes, Rhonda Towns, Ansel Brown, Stan Silver, Kelly Brock, Valerie Gipson, Bloodline, Chill7, Chris Gray and more. Due to overwhelming response of this new show Loucks-Christenson says, "I've already got more artists and authors signed than there are weeks in the year, so I'm looking forward to going daily that gives another 300 + guests an hour opportunity to show the world who they are." With the show going daily in 2007, Loucks-Christenson Publishing/producers of the show have broken the shows to feature different topics and genres throughout the week. Some of these include Country Gospel, Authors-Illustrators, Country Soul, and more. Some authors and illustrators that'll be featured in January 2007 include Beverly Swerling, Jill Fleming, Bill Looney, and later Stephen Baldwin. The show is hosted by Lisa Loucks Christenson of Rochester, MN and is produced by Loucks-Christenson Publishing. With over 70 interviews already on the books for January and February there is no sign of slowing down. "I'd do two shows a day if it would make a difference to someones life", Loucks-Christenson added. The Christmas special is a two hour show with Ansel Brown, and during this interview you'll get to hear Haley Cook, a nine-year-old girl who has survived over 300 procedures, endured 32 brain surgeries, sing Waikiki Cowboy with Ansel. For those who aren't familiar with Haley, they can go to www.myspace.com/anselbrown to learn about this beautiful girl who was born to a 14 year-old cocaine-addicted mother and given only a couple weeks to live. Following the Christmas special on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with Ansel Brown, Lisa's Walk The Talk Show has another huge show for New Years Day. Lisa's Walk The Talk Shows' New Year's Day 2007 Indie Artist Countdown. A four-hour show featuring the top voted indie artists songs, only. Lisa's co-host for this power-packed four-hour special is Pete Anderson of Little Dog Records. As a producer, Anderson is responsible for recordings which have sold over 30 million units worldwide. His groundbreaking work with Dwight Yoakam helped ring in the "new traditionalist" movement in country music - while crossing over to a wider audience in the rock, pop, and blues worlds. He has also been responsible for highly touted projects by such artists as Roy Orbison, k.d.lang, Flaco Jimenez, Buck Owens, Lucinda Williams, Jim Lauderdale, Rosie Flores, Michelle Shocked, the Meat Puppets, the Backsliders, the Lonesome Strangers and Thelonious Monster, among others. As a guitarist and solo artist, Anderson has been lauded as a world-class musician who has influenced a generation of axe-slingers through his melding of country, blues, honky-tonk, and jazz technique. With the formation of his own independent record label, Little Dog Records, over 10 years ago, Anderson proved to be prescient in recognizing the challenges the record business would eventually face by creating an environment where he could record truly talented artists without the financial pressures experienced by the majors. Loucks-Christenon said, "The indie artists are getting some recognition with my Lisa's Walk The Talk Show. Every day that goes publicists, agents, promoters, and labels are sending me their artists for consideration. That tells me they like what they are hearing." We asked Lisa, the host of Lisa's Walk The Talk Show, "What are your New Year's Resolutions?" She replied, "As the host of Lisa's Walk The Talk Show I've made it my goal, my New Year's resolution for 2007 to help launch some of these talents that just need a chance, incredibly talented indie artists that just need to be heard-- I want to be one of those tools in their life, I want to give them a chance on my show." write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
