​Houston, Texas Feb. 12, 2018 (Press Release) – Josh Abbott Band and Bud Light announce today a new campaign aimed at going big in Texas in 2018 with multi-faceted programming across the Lonestar state. After launching a successful regional program in 2017, the brand will take its “Brewed Deep in the Heart” campaign to the next level with an ongoing music partnership with Texas-native musicians Josh Abbott Band.
​
In celebration of the return to its Texan roots, the brand enlisted the help of Josh Abbott Band to re-record the iconic Texan song, “Deep in the Heart of Texas”- Listen here. . The track will be performed on the multi-city Josh Abbott Band tour statewide, and will be featured in one of Bud Light’s new Texas-focused commercials. Larger music programming in the region will fuel fan engagement, as Bud Light will be the sponsor for Josh Abbott Band ‘Brewed Deep in the Heart’ regional tour into spring 2018.

In 1968, The Byrds released the legendary Sweetheart of the Rodeo, a deeper exploration of the country music they had begun to explore on earlier releases. This shift was brought on in large part by the entrance of Gram Parsons whose association with the band would introduce his sound and songwriting to a vast audience.

In addition to the contributions of Parsons, Sweetheart of the Rodeo received much of its authenticity from a pair of country-music steel-guitar wizards: Lloyd Green and Jay Dee Maness. Green, an in-demand Nashville session player (George Jones, Johnny Paycheck, and Charley Pride) and Maness, a young gun on the L.A. scene, gave Sweethearts its unforgettable twang and down-home pedal-steel hooks – and forever put their stamp on country-music history.
​
Now, Green & Maness are preparing to release their new album, Journey to the Beginning: A Steel Guitar Tribute to the Byrds, which celebrates the 50th anniversary of those fabled Sweetheart of the Rodeo sessions. Producer John Macy worked with Green and Maness to transform eleven Sweetheart classics into lush, imaginative steel-guitar instrumentals that stay true to The Byrds’ simple but perfect melodies while injecting new life into the songs.
