Chris
Young is quickly distinguishing himself as a newcomer who honors country music’s
best traditions in addition to adding a fresh, new chapter to the genre’s
legacy. His self-titled RCA Records debut project made him country’s
best-selling new male artist of 2006 and earned him a nod in the Academy of
Country Music’s Top New Male Vocalist category. Young’s sophomore project –
The Man I Want To Be – featuring his current smash single, “Gettin’ You
Home” is an album that showcases a new traditionalist poised to take his place
among his musical heroes.
The Beach Boys have birthed
a torrent of hit singles and sold albums by the tens of millions. But its
greater significance lies in the fact that it changed the musical landscape so
profoundly that every pop act since has been in its debt. Happily for us all,
they continue to create and perform with the same bold imagination and style
that marked their explosive debut 40 years ago. And now in 2006, their latest
Capitol Records release, Sounds of Summer (RIAA certified double platinum
with over two million in sales and climbing), marks a resurgence in Beach Boys
interest that has again rocked the world.
There is no
stopping the Nuge as he continuously puts out loud, rocking albums. From his
1975 solo self-titled debut to his most recent live recording, Motor City Mayhem
where Ted Nugent celebrates his 6,000th rockout! He has been known for cranking
his Gibson Byrdland and performing like a madman since his days with the Amboy
Dukes. In the 30 years since departing the ‘Dukes’, he has established himself
as a successful solo artist and has also been a part of a few supergroups, most
notably Damn Yankees. An avid hunter as well as a guitar legend, his restless
spirit has driven him into many other ventures, including stints as a radio show
host and a regular contributor for numerous publications. Quote by Rob Kaukola,
Policeman - "There have been 5 things in my life that have brought tears to my
eyes: the birth of my son in 1988, the death of my father in 1993, the birth of
my daughter in 1994, the first deer I shot in 1997, watching Ted Nugent play
"Fred Bear" live."
Jason Michael Carroll doesn’t look like he sounds – and that intrigue only
heightens both realities of the tangy vocalist from North Carolina. In 2007,
Carroll released his debut studio album, Waitin’ in the Country,
including hits “Alyssa Lies,” “Livin’ Our Love Song,” and “I Can Sleep When I’m
Dead.” Already a Top 10 country airplay single weeks before the album’s release
“Alyssa Lies” became the fastest-rising debut single by a male country artist in
2006. The song also set a record in its first week of availability, earning the
highest country new artist debut in the history of SoundScan’s Digital Songs
chart. He returned in 2009 with Growing Up Is Getting Old
which featured the hit single “Where I’m From.”
Gloriana consists of four uniquely talented musicians
joining forces to create a fresh, one-of-a-kind sound that reflects the best of
today’s Nashville. Their debut album, Gloriana, varies the feel from “The
Way It Goes” and “How Far Do You Wanna Go,” which display the harmonies, energy
and big sound that make the group so exciting on stage, to “Lead Me On” and “All
The Things (That Mean The Most),” songs whose passion and intimacy are
undeniable. To add to the excitement of this group, Gloriana has won the
2010 Academy of County Music Awards Top New Vocal Group!
