On Saturday and Sunday, July 21 and 22, Reba McEntire will perform with special guest Trisha Yearwood. McEntire’s name is synonymous with country music as Reba has delivered consistent hits since 1982. Her latest release “Reba #1’s” celebrates a career that has included 33 number one songs, 29 multiple awards and countless shows and performances. This album is a compilation of the songs country music fans have know and loved for over two decades.
Trisha Yearwood’s latest release “Jasper County” took over two years to record. “I’ve never taken this long to make a record,” comments Yearwood. After starting the project, she reviewed her recordings and completely started over, choosing different and deeper cuts than she did on the original pass. “When we got to the second set of sessions, it felt instantly right. That’s when I knew it was the right collection of songs… it just felt right.”
On Friday, July 27, Big & Rich with Cowboy Troy will perform along with Gretchen Wilson. Big & Rich released “Comin’ to Your City” in November as a follow up to “Horse of a Different Color.” “Our mission this time around was to step it up, and make Act 2 about making great songs into a great record, start to finish, said Big Kenny.” Big Kenny and John Rich are known for creating music outside of country music’s traditionally defined lines. They describe the creation of their albums as similar to making mixed tapes. Says Big Kenny, “We take our music to extremes and then make it fit together on our albums, so that we never get bored.” Hopefully what we’re doing will just keep encouraging more and more people to be themselves and be real.”
Troy Coleman, otherwise known as Cowboy Troy, burst onto the country music scene with the multi-lingual breakdown in the middle of Rollin’ (The Ballad of Big & Rich) the opening track to label-mates Big & Rich’s 2004 release “Horse of a Different Color.” Though he first jumped onto the stages of clubs during his college days in the 1980s and 90s, he now finds himself in the middle of molding his own musical statement which he has labeled “hick-hop.” “When you start writing your own songs, you tend to draw upon your experiences, whatever they may be, and put those together to make a musical hodge-podge. I call this “hick-hop.”
Gretchen Wilson’s debut, “Here for the Party” marked her arrival in Nashville, sold more than 5 million copies worldwide, and remained number one for nine consecutive weeks on the country album chart. In September of 2005, Wilson released her follow up “All Jacked Up,” to critical acclaim. Wilson is now a member of the Muzik Mafia, a loosely-knit group of singers and songwriters who get together and jam every Tuesday in a local Nashville nightspot. Other members include Big Kenny and John Rich, of Big & Rich, with whom she regularly writes new songs.
