BRENT COBB’S SHINE ON RAINY DAY OUT TODAY TO WIDESPREAD ACCLAIM

ALBUM PRODUCED BY DAVE COBB SIRIUS/XM OUTLAW COUNTRY SPECIAL AIRING THIS WEEKEND – ON TOUR WITH ANDERSON EAST THIS FALL, SUPPORTING CHRIS STAPLETON IN NASHVILLE Brent Cobb’s highly anticipated major label debut, Shine On Rainy Day, is out today on Low Country Sound/Elektra Records (purchase here). Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell, etc.), the album was recorded live over four days in Nashville. In celebration of the release, Sirius/XM’s Outlaw Country will air an exclusive hour-long conversation with Brent and Dave this weekend. More information is available at www.siriusxm. com/outlawcountry. Brent is currently in the midst of an extensive nationwide tour supporting Anderson East and, on October 15, will join Chris Stapleton for a special show at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheatre. See below for complete tour details. Recent critical acclaim for Shine On Rainy Day… “…what promises to be Cobb’s breakout LP as a singer-songwriter.”—Rolling Stone “…masterfully understated wit…”—NPR Music “…a gift for teasing out the textures of a place, not only through the richness of his written descriptions, but also through the cultivated naturalness in the feel of his music.”—NPR Music &ldquo ;…a gorgeous solo album that promises to place him in the top echelon of this century’s young troubadours…”—WXPN World Café “The simply produced, largely acoustic Shine On Rainy Day is reminiscent of Kris Kristofferson’s debut for its importance, of Billy Joe Shaver for its down-home intelligence and even of James Taylor for its deceptively lazy delivery.”—WXPN World Cafe “…a trait that pushes all the right buttons throughout the ten tracks on this impressive effort that proves these relatives with impeccable musical synergy have more than just bloodlines in common.”—American Songwriter “Brent Cobb paints the joy and sadness of rural life in stunning detail…” —Nashville Scene “It’s a soft, acoustic ballad, different from what you may have already heard from Cobb. The Georgia-born singer/songwriter has a knack for joyous, energetic songs that celebrate life and the good things in it.”—Noisey “A blend of attitude and inspirat ion, Shine on Rainy Day may be the ideal antidote for today’s troubling times.”—No Depression “Let me just say that Brent Cobb is pretty damn good.”—Sounds Like Nashville “Brent Cobb’s debut supplies more heart, honesty and depth than nearly any other release so far this year.”—Wide Open Country Of the music and working with producer (and cousin) Dave Cobb, Brent comments, “It’s not as good as it’s going to get. But if it’s the last thing that I ever do, if I died the day after it came out, then thank God I was able to record it because the songs and the production, it was everything I wanted to say. Finally.” Dave adds, “I wanted to work with Brent for very selfish reasons. When he lifts a pen and opens his mouth, it sounds like home. I did his record because he’s part of the fabric of South Georgia and the soundtrack to my family. Pure rural country soul filled music.” Earlier this year, Brent was featured on Dave’s widely Continue reading BRENT COBB’S SHINE ON RAINY DAY OUT TODAY TO WIDESPREAD ACCLAIM

Children’s Book Inspired By Dolly Parton’s Classic Song Shares Importance Of Respect And Gratitude

Country music legend Dolly Parton brings her beloved classic to life in Coat of Many Colors (Grosset & Dunlap; on sale October 18, 2016), a new picture book for young readers with all-new illustrations by Brooke Boynton Hughes and featuring a downloadable exclusive original song by Dolly Parton, “Making Fun Ain’t Funny.” [AMAZONPRODUCTS asin=”0451532376″] Using lyrics from her classic song “Coat of Many Colors,” and inspired by Parton’s rural upbringing in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, the picture book tells the story of a young girl in need of a warm winter coat. When her mother sews her a coat made of rags, the girl is mocked by classmates for being poor. But Parton’s trademark positivity carries through to the end as the girl realizes that her coat was made with love “in every stitch.” Francesco Sedita, President and Publisher, Grosset & Dunlap, said, “As someone who grew up listening to Dolly Parton with my family, having this very special opportunity to work on the Coat of Many Colors picture book has been a lifelong dream come true. The book& mdash;and the song, of course—really speaks to how important family and community is. And how vital it is to respect those around us and to be grateful for what we have. I believe this book is one that will be passed down for generations to come.” Coat of Many Colors is the latest project in Dolly Parton’s longtime mission to support childhood literacy. In 1988, she began the Dollywood Foundation to inspire children in her home community to dream more, learn more, care more, and be more. The Foundation’s signature program is the Dolly Parton Imagination Library which works with local sponsors to give every preschool child a book each month from the time he or she is born until the child reaches kindergarten. The Imagination Library has gifted over 80 million books in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia. Following the publication of Coat of Many Color s, NBC will air the sequel to last year’s TV movie “Coat of Many Colors.” In “Dolly Parton’s Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love,” the Partons, a family of humble means living in the mountains of Tennessee, face a devastating event that challenges their will. But when they experience a bewildering Christmas miracle, the Partons are drawn closer together than ever—with deepened faith and love for one another. An internationally renowned superstar, the iconic and irrepressible Dolly Parton has contributed countless treasures to the world of music entertainment, penning classic songs such as “Jolene,” “Coat of Many Colors,” and her mega-hit “I Will Always Love You.” She has garnered 7 Grammy Awards, 10 Country Music Association Awards, 5 Academy of Country Music Awards, 3 American Music Awards, and is one of only five fema le artists to win the Country Music Association’s Entertainer of the Year Award. Dolly Parton is an instantly recognizable American icon. She is a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award Winner, a Kennedy Center Honors recipient, and Continue reading Children’s Book Inspired By Dolly Parton’s Classic Song Shares Importance Of Respect And Gratitude
