"WITH YOU I AM" REACHES #1 ON SIRIUSXM'S "ON THE HORIZON" PLAYLIST.  JOHNSON LEADS THE PACK FOR THE BOOT'S  ALBUM OF THE MONTH FOR AUGUST 2016

​Nashville, TN (Press Release July 29, 2016) --- Indie sensation Cody Johnson is scheduled to release his highly anticipated studio album GOTTA BE ME next Friday, August 5. Johnson continues to blaze a trail, topping the SiriusXM “On The Horizon” playlist. After making his career debut on the playlist just two weeks ago, the infectious new single “With You I Am” catapulted to #1. The overwhelming response from listeners was immediate.  It’s clear that country fans are hungry for Johnson and his brand of traditional country music.

The lead single off of his forthcoming album was co-written by Johnson along with David Lee and Cody’s producer Trent Willmon.

​Amazon Music is back with another live stream show, this time featuring GRAMMY and Oscar award-winning Americana singer-songwriter Ryan Bingham.
 
Thanks to Amazon Music, Twitch users will be able to live stream Ryan’s concert from Whitewater Amphitheater in New Braunfels, Texas on Saturday, August 6 at 7:45pm PT/10:45pm ET on the Amazon Music channel via Twitch—the live stream via Twitch will be available on the Web at www.amazon.com/binghamlive or on Amazon devices including Amazon Fire TV and Fire tablets via the Twitch app.
 
Previously, Amazon Music has hosted live streams with artists like Macklemore and Ryan Lewis to help debut their new album This Unruly Mess I’ve Made; Teddy Thompson, Kelly Jones, Blue October, and more at SXSW; and most recently the Alternative Press Music Awards.
 
Bingham is a critically acclaimed singer and songwriter, whose songs have been described by the New York Times as “rustic confessionals, intense but guarded.” He has released a total of five studio albums, the most recent being 2015’s Fear andSaturday Night, which debuted at #9 on the Billboard Rock Albums Chart. Bingham won an Oscar, GRAMMY and Golden Globe award for his work co-writing and performing “The Weary Heart” with T Bone Burnett on the soundtrack for the 2009 film, Crazy Heart, and in 2010, he was named Artist of the Year by the Americana Music Association. 

Three years after the release of Long Night Moon, Texas favorites (and mine) bring their fans new music.

On September 23rd, Reckless Kelly will celebrate their 20th anniversay with the release of Sunset Motel, their first album with Thirty Tigers and follow up their Grammy Award winning 2013 release Long Night Moon.
 
Today, Rolling Stone Country premiered "How Can You Love Him (You Don't Even Like Him)," the first single to be released from the album, and said "Sunset Motel finds the band in familiar musical territory — bounding fearlessly between the sounds of jangling heartland rock and scrappy, hardscrabble country, with stories that refuse to dumb themselves down for mass appeal."
​
Sunset Motel will be available for pre-order starting tomorrow, July 29, and will include an instant download of "How Can You Love Him (You Don't Even Like Him)."

(Press Release) Grammy nominated guitar-slinger, troublemaker, raconteur, producer, and Georgia boy Butch Walker released today a new song "Ludlow Expectations" off his upcoming eighth studio album Stay Gold due out on August 26 via Dangerbird Records. As a writer of dozens of songs with hooks that stick in your head, Walker has penned choruses you want to sing (or shout) along to from acts including Frank Turner, Brian Fallon, Taylor Swift, and many more. He is a teller of authentic stories of exploits and predicaments and romance that are filled with optimism; builder of albums with no boundaries - rock, pop, Americana, singer-songwriter…or, as he says, “I think it’s all just rock & roll.”
