| Nashville Records works for upcoming Christmas album Nashville Records, Inc. has begun announcing artists being signed for an upcoming Christmas compilation album on the Company's own Label. The album will be distributed in major markets and will feature some of country music's greatest legends and two newer artists. The album will consist of 1/2 traditional Christmas music and 1/2 original material and will include 16 songs. Daryle Singletary was among the brightest new stars to arrive on the music scene of the mid-'90s, winning fans with his simple, honest songcraft and distinctively gravelly vocals. He has had such chart-topping hits as "I Let Her Lie" and "Too Much Fun." The Company writers wrote and recorded an upbeat original tune named "Swingin' Into Christmas." Cook & Glenn -- "From the Hall of Fame to a Rising Star" -- As one of the founders of the group Alabama and a member of the Hall of Fame, Jeff Cook's list of awards rivals that of any entertainer in history, including 42 number 1 singles. That's more #1 singles than any group or solo artist... including the Beatles and Elvis! Jeff Cook and his band mates were named entertainer of the year eight times and they have been one of the biggest selling acts of all time. Cook is now embarking on a new journey with rising star Mitch Glenn. They make up the group Cook & Glenn and perform a variety of Country, Soul and Rock n' Roll music. Cook & Glenn will be featured on the Christmas Album performing an original song called "Reggae Santa." Brooke Morton -- There is an ever-elusive treasure in the music business that is very seldom seen. Though many have laid claim to it, few can actually deliver. It is called "The Complete Package." This is an artist that can sing, entertain, write songs, look great, and have an infectious, positive personality, and attitude. Brooke Morton is the complete package. Brooke is also known as "Nascar's Sweetheart", performing at many Nascar events. Her grandfather is the legendary blues and rock guitarist, Leonard Everly, and her cousins are none other than Hall of Fame members The Everly Brothers! She is now the flagship artist for the Ohana Music Group, working with Nashville Records, and featuring Brooke on the Christmas Album performing "I'll Just Bring Christmas to You." Arlene Hubbard, a company spokesperson, says, "We are extremely excited to be announcing such a mix of artists... the new and the legendary, for our first of several projects now in the works. Additional major recording artists, who will also be performing on the Christmas Album, will be announced in the days to come... Stay Tuned." Nashville Records, Inc. is a Nashville based record label located in the heart of Music Row. The key management and advisors were industry-retired individuals that were dissatisfied with the direction in which the music industry was headed. In the past, this combined management team is credited with sales of well into the billions of dollars and has been responsible for hundreds of charted hits. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
