Bellamy Brothers New Gospel Album

The Bellamy Brothers Are Ready To Release, Pray For Me, Their Latest Gospel Album After sparking much controversy and support with their first Gospel album, respected multi-platinum selling Country music duo and Dove Award nominees The Bellamy Brothers will soon release their second Gospel composition. Pray For Me, set for a late summer release, features 14 original Gospel songs with heartfelt, inspirational messages and is one of more than 50 albums released by Howard and David Bellamy. The album will be released on September 4 and is available for pre-order today on iTunes. The group’s first Gospel album, Jesus Is Coming (And Boy Is He Pissed), sparked much controversy with the title track but was later nominated for two Dove Awards from the Gospel Music Association and received rave reviews from critics. The success of this album, along with their history of singing Christian music from an early age, pushed the duo to create their second Gospel album. “We decided to record our second Gospel album because Gospel and Christian music is one of our favorite genres. We also received such a great reaction from our Jesus Is Coming album we did a few years ago, it seemed like a natural progression from that album to the new one.” -David Bellamy “Creating this new album was a labor of love for us, and an element we hope we can always add to our variety of projects,” -Howard Bellamy. The duo is more widely known for their success in Country music, although they’ve gained respect in the Gospel and Pop genres as well. The Bellamy Brothers have received numerous No. 1 hits on both the Pop and Country charts. Their hit “Let Your Love Flow” received the distinguished BMI Five Million Performance Award in 2009, and broke into the UK Top 20 Country charts again—34 years after its release. The hit was also featured in a UK television commercial and on the critically acclaimed AMC television series “Breaking Bad.” Pray For Me Track Listing: 1. Jesus Ain’t No Stained Glass Window 2. Pray For Me 3. Holy Roller 4. Spirit In The Sky 5. Suppertime 6. God Ain’t Finished With Me Yet 7. Hypocrites In Heaven 8. Hymn To Him 9. The Spanish Bible 10. Number Of Breaths 11. New Man In The Suit 12. Rodeo For Jesus 13. Guardian Angel 14. Hand Me My Bible

Alan Jackson Interview

Recently Alan Jackson spoke with USA TODAY about him, his music and the things he loves most. Alan Jackson, 53, recently spoke with USA Today and here is what was said… On his marriage to high school sweetheart, Denise: “We’ve been through a lot together. As you get older, what I appreciate is that history.” On having only daughters: “It’s like second nature to me. I grew up with four older sisters and I was the only boy; all I’ve ever been around was girls. I think it would have been unnatural for me to have a son in the house. I love my daughters,” Jackson says of Mattie, 22, Ali, 19, and Dani, 15. “When I get real old, they’ll take good care of me.” Favorite shows: In the mid-90s, Jackson used to set up a lake show outside his house in Nashville: “People could come by boat. It was free, just a good-natured thing. We had thousands of boats out there. They’d anchor a day or two in advance; they’d just be waiting,” Jackson says. “We had Shania Twain, when it was her first year. She hadn’t even toured yet. She came out in a pair of overalls [with] a couple of acoustic players and played. The crowd was so excited to see her for [the] first time.” Summertime on the lake: “We’ve had a lake home for years. [It’s] where I feel really content [when] it’s late in the summer and they’re there and everybody’s just enjoying this lifestyle I’ve been fortunate enough to create for them and do the things I did growing up. I really still love that.” Must have on the road: “Other than Jack Daniel’s, there’s not much else you can take out there. I’m pretty easy, I’m not one of these artists who [has] to have all red M & M’s or something in my dressing room. I don’t care what food is on the bus.” Song to perform: “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning) is such a powerful song, I’ve seen people get up and leave after that song is over because they’ve been waiting for it,” Jackson says, about his memorable tribute to September 11. “ Something I have to do every night that’s fun, that song Chattahoochee, I did years ago. It’s just a lighthearted song.When I kick it off, people love that, and I’m talking about kids that are too young to have been around when it came out and people older. It connects with people, and I don’t get tired of playing it.” Place to write a song: “Most of my better melodies and ideas seem to come [when] I drive,” Jackson says. “In the Nashville area I have a routine, which takes me down quiet country roads where nothing is going on. I don’t have music on; my old cars don’t have radios worth listening to. [It’s] quiet and that’s when a lot of my best melodies and ideas come to me.” On making Continue reading Alan Jackson Interview

Rascal Flatts-The Making Of Come Wake Me Up

The Behind The Scenes Look At The Music Video For “Come Wake Me Up.” Here is a special behind the scenes look at the making of the music video for “Come Wake Me Up.” This song is Rascal Flatts latest single and is nothing like their previous hit “Banjo.” The video was shot in Nashville and was directed by Shaun Silva. “So I had this story unfolding, this moment of – here’s a girl who really is just from a different world than what he’s from. Joe Don’s character is doing all the things anybody would want to do for someone they love, but it threatens her identity until one night after an argument, she removes a necklace like breaking free from his lavish grasp. Her decision to leave, and his to chase after her, only pushes her further towards her foreshadowed fate.” -Silva The little that we see in the clip below definitely leaves you wanting more. The video stars Joe Don Rooney and his real-life wife, Tiffany Fallon. Watch it now and tell us what you think!
