About Hank Williams Jr.
With more than 70 albums to his credit, Williams has a fascinating career to reflect upon for a legend still in his prime. His discography chronicles a bold profile of growth from adored offspring of a legendary father, to titan of the modern country rock movement in his own right. For two decades, America came to its collective feet each fall Monday night when this larger than life superman of a musician looked into the camera and unleashed the national anthem for viewers of Monday Night Football – ‘Are you ready for some football?’ Those simple words have won Williams an entirely new generation of fans and given him the distinction of being the first country performer to ever win an Emmy. Williams has also been named Entertainer of the Year five times, and most recently was the recipient of the 2009 Academy of Country Music “Pioneer Award”.

BEST OF HANK WILLIAMS JR. (ALL MY ROWDY FRIENDS) LAUNCHES FROM CURB RECORDS MARCH 27TH
By My Country Space
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME COUNTRY?
BEST OF HANK WILLIAMS JR. (ALL MY ROWDY FRIENDS)
LAUNCHES FROM CURB RECORDS MARCH 27TH
Country Icon Proves Again Why He’s A Pop Culture Giant
Album available exclusively at Walmart
(Nashville,
Tennessee) — February 20, 2012 – Fans of Hank Jr. can kick the
wintertime blues with the announcement from Curb Records of the
March 27 release of a retrospective collection of signature hits
from the iconic superstar. The package will feature 22 of Hank
Jr.’s best songs that span decades of his high octane music
making career, that includes high points such as Family Tradition, A
Country Boy Can Survive, All My Rowdy Friends Are
Comin’ Over Tonight,and Whiskey Bent And Hell
Bound.
Along the way, as witnessed by the new Curb package, Hank Jr.’s music has become rooted as a unique creative barometer consistently reflecting both our nation’s challenges and the resilience of human nature in general—and Hank’s creative finger on the pulse of culture in particular. From the familiar shout of "Are You Ready For Some Football" to the brooding country patriotism of "A Country Boy Can Survive," Hank is seemingly permanently woven in the midst of America’s daily soundtrack of life--from football, to politics, to his latest reincarnation of the Williams family’s traditional way with a song.
Tracks include:
"Family Tradition"
"Whiskey Bent And Hell Bound"
"Women I've Never Had"
"Outlaw Women"
"Kaw-Liga"
"Old Habits"
"Dinosaur"
"The Blues Man"
"Texas Women"
"Dixie On My Mind"
"All My Rowdy Friends (Have Settled Down)"
"A Country Boy Can Survive"
"If Heaven Ain't A Lot Like Dixie"
"The Conversation"
"All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight"
"Country State Of Mind"
"Born To Boogie"
"If The South Woulda Won"
"There's A Tear In My Beer" (with Hank Williams)
"Red, White, & Pink-Slip Blues"
"Bartender Song (Sittin’ At The Bar)" (with Rehab)
"All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming For Monday Night Football"
Whether old or new friend or fan of Hank’s, the March 27 release from Curb offer a singular reminder across the span of all 22 tracks: Now in a sixth decade of making music, Hank’s totally ‘done it his way’.
NEAL MCCOY RETURNS WITH NEW CD, XII, MARCH 6
By My Country Spaceand Miranda Lambert, and Guitar Slinger, Brent Rowan
Nashville,
TN (February
20, 2012) - Returning to country music after a five
year-hiatus multi-platinum recording artist Neal McCoy’s highly
anticipated new album, XII,
will be released March 6, 2012. Produced by CMA’s reigning Male and
Female Vocalist of the Year, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert, and
renowned guitar-slinger, Brent Rowan, this Blaster Records’ debut
is McCoy’s 12th studio album. Already creating a buzz amongst
top media outlets, McCoy’s upcoming
television appearances include a satellite media tour in New
York, and segments on “Hannity,” “Huckabee,” “411 Live,” and
“Better TV,” to name a few. Plus, McCoy returns to host
GAC’s highly-rated, Top 50 Videos of the 2000s, debuting
February 20, 2012.“Neal is not only a friend of mine, but my hero,” commented Blake Shelton about working with McCoy on XII. “Our first priority with this album was that Neal only cut songs that he truly loved and was excited about. That was very important to us.” Miranda Lambert added, “It was a blast seeing Neal and Blake together…had the place laughing all the time. I think fans will hear three different artists coming together on this album with their individual takes on the music.”
Some of Nashville’s best writers—including Tom Douglas, Rivers Rutherford, Jamey Johnson, Allen Shamblin, Rhett Akins, and newcomers Luke Laird, Brett Eldredge, Geroge Terren and Barry Dean, came forward to contribute their very best songs. The end result from the ‘consummate live performer’ is a new collection that offers a little something for every listener. From the bouncy, bright, feel good single, “A-OK,” (featuring Lambert and Shelton on background vocals), to the infectious bar-room, toe-tapper, “Shotgun Rider,” to the engaging ballad, “Judge a Man by the Woman,” and classic, “Van Gogh,” the project is chock full of good music.
“It’s like my shows, a little bit of everything that makes music special,” said McCoy. “XII has a little bit of church, a little bit of bar-room, a couple ballads that’ll encourage, and a real Texas thing about finding your groove in the midst of heartbreak with a cold beer and a good jukebox.” Blake and Miranda had definite ideas about what this should be – you almost couldn’t hold ‘em back.”
Recently listed as one of the Top 10 USO Tour Entertainers since the organization’s inception in 1941 (at number eight, between John Wayne and Marilyn Monroe), it has been 21 years since McCoy released his first single. Since that time, he has released 11 albums, had five #1 singles, over 25 charted singles, had a string of top ten radio hits, sold over 6 million albums all while completing over 15 USO tours and supporting the East Texas Angels Network, his charity for children with life-threatening illnesses.
