Grand Ole Opry Star Jim Ed Brown's New CD Rolls Out Tomorrow

Nashville, TN (January 19, 2015) - Grand Ole Opry star Jim Ed Brown's first CD release in 30 years, IN STYLE AGAIN, rolls out tomorrow, January 20.  The 13-track disc features guest stars Vince Gill, The Whites and The Browns - and reunites Jim Ed with long-time duet partner Helen Cornelius.  Yesterday The Boot kicked off release week coverage with a feature that included personal track-by-track descriptions and an in-depth interview with the legendary performer.

The Grand Ole Opry has jumped on the Brown bandwagon as well, and will celebrate by giving away five copies of the CD via its GOO Facebook pagetomorrow.  The disc is available for purchase through Amazon, iTunes and other retailers.  Fans eager to immerse themselves in the Jim Ed story can hear candid reflections on the artist's career on YouTube. 
Throughout the disc, Brown's signature lush vocals caress traditional Country songs that feature the talents of top-tier Nashville session players John Hobbs (Piano, Organ), Michael Baker (Guitar), Glen Duncan (Guitar, Mandolin, Violin), John McTigue (Drums), Dave Roe (Bass), Chris Scruggs (Guitar, Pedal Steel),Gary Prim (Keyboards), Daryl Hornburger (Steel Guitar), Michael Baker (Acoustic Guitar), Brent Mason (Electric guitar), Dennis Crouch (Upright Bass) and Greg Morrow (Drums).  Impeccable background vocals on "Watching The World Walking By," "Laura (Do You Love Me)," "Lucky Enough" and "It's A Good Life" were furnished by Bergen White, Lisa Silver and Kira Small McConaghy.  The title track was produced by Brown's close friend and Country Music Hall of Famer Bobby Bare, while the balance of the offering was produced by Don Cusic.  The album's first single, "When The Sun Says Hello To The Mountain," features Jim Ed and sister Bonnie Brown, and was released to Country radio in November.

Today, Jim Ed returns to his doctors for a follow-up CT scan.  The singer, who has been undergoing treatment for cancer, is feeling good - and looking forward to receiving a clean bill of health.  "The support of my family and the outpouring of positive thoughts and prayers from my fans has given me an incredible boost during this emotional time," Brown notes. "I'm grateful for every day I can spend on God's green earth - and thankful to everyone who gives meaning to my life."
