Charlie Robison’s upcoming CD, “Beautiful Day”, is his first release in nearly five years, and his first self-produced album. “Beautiful Day” includes vibrant electric guitar playing from the Texas singer-songwriter, as well as acoustic guitar work from Robert Earl Keen’s guitarist and producer, Rich Brotherton. “Beautiful Day” was recorded at his brother Bruce Robison’s Austin studio, Premium Recoding Service. The two brothers have been playing together since the late 1980’s, when they were in the band Chaparrel. Charlie’s debut album, “Bandera”(named after the ranch the Robison family has owned for eight generations, since the 1840s), followed in 1995. His breakthrough, “Life Of the Party” was released in 1998, followed by 2001’s “Step Right Up”, which broke into the Top 40 of country album charts. In 2004, Charlie Robison’s Dualtone label debut, “Good Times”, was released, with songs celebrating his marriage to Emily Robison of the Dixie Chicks, and the birth of son Gus and twins Juliana and Henry. With record sales increasing, the video for "El Cerrito Place" was a Top 10 hit at CMT.
Now, “Beautiful Day” promises to impact Charlie Robison’s career even further. After an amicable split from Emily Robison, Charlie says, “Although the order of the songs on the album is more musical than following any storyline, as you hear the record you’ll know what was going on with the divorce.” “Beautiful Day” is an album where Charlie Robison’s strong rock’n’roll leanings blend with his country roots to create an emotional musical experience, with Charlie’s journey of the last five years finding him both wiser and stronger, with the prospect of new beginnings on a “Beautiful Day”.

Based on her debut hit, a cute novelty love song called "Tim McGraw," some might have assumed that the then sixteen-year-old Taylor Swift was a one-hit wonder. Funny thing, though: her first album not only hit number one on the country chart and Top Five on the pop chart, it spun off five more hit singles, all of which charted higher than "Tim McGraw" on both the country and pop charts, including the number-one country hits "Our Song" and "Should've Said No." All this makes the Pennsylvania teen the biggest thing to hit country since at least Carrie Underwood, and the remarkable thing is that unlike the vast majority of country stars, she writes and co-writes her own songs. Album number two, FEARLESS, is--in the best possible sense--more of the same. Even more polished and self-assured than TAYLOR SWIFT, and featuring an equally strong batch of self-penned songs including the singles "Love Story" and "Fearless," FEARLESS is the definitive example of contemporary country music in 2008.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of one of the world's most talented blues artists, Koko Taylor.
Grammy Award-winning blues legend Koko Taylor, 80, died on June 3, 2009 in her hometown of Chicago, IL, as a result of complications following her May 19 surgery to correct a gastrointestinal bleed. On May 7, 2009, the critically acclaimed Taylor, known worldwide as the “Queen of the Blues,” won her 29th Blues Music Award (for Traditional Female Blues Artist Of The Year), making her the recipient of more Blues Music Awards than any other artist.
Our prayers and best wishes go out to her family, friends and fans. Koko will be missed, but her music will live on.

Donna Ulisse’s 2008 collection of self-penned tunes, “Walk This Mountain Down”, marks the release of her third solo album. Born in Hampton, Virginia, Donna first made an on-stage appearance with a bluegrass band when she was only three years old, singing “Take This Hammer”.
Donna moved to Nashville in the 80’s, and became a respected session singer, providing back-up vocals for artists such as Jerry Reed. Donna Ulisse was signed to Atlantic Records, and in 1991, the album “Trouble At The Door” was released, with three singles and two videos.
Donna released “When I Look Back” in 2007. In March of 2008, she began working on her follow-up CD “Walk This Mountain Down” with producer Keith Sewell.
While working in a western swing band, she met and married Rick Stanley, whose cousin Ralph Stanley sang at her wedding, along with the Clinch Mountain Boys. It’s safe to say that Donna Ulisse is now fully indoctrinated into a bluegrass family.

Singer/Songwriter Tom Rush has had a profound effect upon the American folk scene, having been an integral part of shaping the folk revival in the early 1960’s. At the time, he began his musical career playing in clubs around Boston while he was a student at Harvard. By 1965, he was signed to Elektra records, recording three albums for the label. According to Rolling Stone magazine, “The Circle Game” actually marked the beginning of the singer/songwriter era.
Rush toured tirelessly during the 70’s, playing with a five man band in concerts across America. After endless tours and self-promotion, he decided to take a break at his New Hampshire farm. Recharged and back playing concerts in the 80’s, Tom Rush began holding his acclaimed “Club 47” series, crafting shows with artists from Emmylou Harris to Alison Krauss. The events have filled some of the country’s finest halls and have gotten rave reviews.
A Tom Rush retrospective album was released in 1999, and in 2003, “Trolling for Owls”, a live CD that captured Tom’s performance complete with spoken stories, was released.
In 2008, Tom Rush recorded his first studio release in over thirty years, “What I Know”. It includes original material, and harmonies by Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Bramlett and Nanci Griffith. When not touring, Tom Rush still resides in New Hampshire.

When it comes to Classic Country, few artists have more staying power than Willie Nelson, whose 76th birthday was April 30th. From a career that began in the early 60s as a songwriter of classics including “Hello Walls”, “Night Life” (one of the most recorded songs in country music history) and the infamous “Crazy”, Willie Nelson is now known as a singer-songwriter, actor, poet, outlaw, author and activist for American farmers with his yearly Farm-Aid. This year, Willie Nelson has had two major releases: “Willie and the Wheel”, a chart-topping collaboration with Ray Benson and Asleep At The Wheel; and “Naked Willie”, a collection of seventeen songs recorded when he was signed to RCA records from 1964 through 1970. Willie and his long-time harmonica player Mickey Raphael re-mixed the original multi-track tapes to produce “Naked Willie” as Willie had always envisioned the songs, void of strings, over-production and back-up singers. Currently touring in Canada and North America, Willie Nelson is booked on the road well through the year.
