Willie NelsonWILLIE NELSON'S REGGAE ALBUM
By Stuart Cameron of HotDisc.com
He's been described as an American Treasure and this month Willie Nelson hits the news once more with an appearance as Uncle Jessie in the film "Dukes Of Hazzard" and also by releasing his first ever reggae album, ironically called "Countryman".
He started work on this project 10 years ago when producer Don Was (from the band Was Not Was) suggested the idea to him. Now Willie loves a challenge and he flew to Jamaica to see if the project could be a reality. Of course the Bellamy Brothers have been there before with their reggae-influenced "Reggae Cowboy" track and a number of other songs with that flavour on their "Sons of Beaches" album, and there have been many reggaefied country songs such as "Help Me Make It Through The Night" by John Holt which became a huge hit.
Willie was on Island Records at the time but when he left the label the thought was that the project would be left on the shelf. But dismiss Willie's ideas at your peril - when the man says he's gonna do something he will do it! And now the project is ready for release ten years on after he found the time to complete the album.
What you have is a mixture of his own songs put to a reggae style and some reggae classics like "The Harder They Come" thrown in for good measure. The result is very good indeed. This guy can handle anything, and while country fans of the die-hard variety will frown upon most country artists straying away from their country roots no one would ever criticize the great Willie Nelson for doing whatever he chooses! After all, Willie is da man!

Shawn Camp
Shawn Camp has written No. 1 hits for Garth Brooks (“Two Pina Coladas”) and the duo Brooks & Dunn (“How Long Gone”), and his songs have been cut by everyone from George Strait and Kenny Chesney to Patty Loveless and Randy Travis.
Now Camp goes public with what Nashville already knows. On Live At The Station Inn, his first album for Oh Boy Records, the Arkansas native takes an engaging jaunt through his song catalog with some of the best young bluegrass pickers around along for the journey. Recorded live and without rehearsal, the album is typical of Camp – putting artistry and creativity on the line for a fun-yet-adventurous evening of high wire acoustic music.

Shawn's earlier CDs include, "Shawn Camp" (1993 - Warner Brothers) and "Lucky Silver Dollar" (2001- Skeeterbit Label)

Stacy Dean Campbell
Singer, Songwriter Stacy Dean Campbell Takes his music to a new realm with the release of his first novel, "Cottonwood", which includes a 12 track CD.
Stacy's newest project has taken his writing to a whole new level. His debut novel, "Cottonwood" has just been completed and he has penned and produced a 12 song acoustic "soundtrack", which is included with the book, entitled "Cottonwood, Songs From A Novel".
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AWARD FINALIST !
Bill Fisher Award for Best First Book-FictionRobert K. Oermann - Music Row Magazine, June 2004
Stacy Dean is just as gifted musically as ever. As perfect a country-acoustic gem as I’ve heard all year.
Book Description
In West Texas in the summer of 1937, COTTONWOOD tells the story of two families thrown together by tragedy and the bounds of racial injustice.
Rube Whitlock is faced with raising his two young sons after the death of his infant daughter leaves his wife mentally incapacitated with grief and unable to care for them. Overwhelmed with the responsibility, Rube hires Esther, a local black woman whose husband- in an attempt to establish himself and his farm as competitive cotton producers- has just purchased his second mule and ignited a stirring of dissonance and contempt within the usually quiet community. As Esther's natural maternal presence begins to fill voids in the Whitlock house and racially charged animosity percolates in the dim-lit bars and shacks just beneath the community's surface, Rube is forced to choose between the boundaries set by the laws he has sworn to uphold and the boundaries set by the moral convictions of the human heart.
Amidst painful pasts beginning to resurface and new secrets freshly buried, it would take a "knobby-kneed buckskin" mule, a cheap pocket knife and a lifeless COTTONWOOD tree to form a lasting friendship that would gray the stark lines between black and white and begin the delicate mending of family ties in the tender heart of a young boy."The all acoustic instrumentation shares much of the same magic and beauty as O' Brother and Down from the Mountain."
" Set in West Texas in the depression year of 1937...Campbell clearly loves this part of the country and writes it's dialogue beautifully. He also shows a natural gift for creating tension."
"In both his novel and the CD, Campbell makes the 1930s seem wonderfully up-to-date."
- PHIL SWEETLAND, American Songwriter

TROUBLE BEHIND THE CURTAINS.
Maybe I’ve told you about Gordon Leeder before, but he came into my thoughts today for no apparent reason, and so I tell it again.
Gordon cracked me up! He reminded me, in looks and personality, of Tim Conway. He was always witty and, looking back, he seemed abnormally happy.
I sort of envied Gordon. He and his wife owned The Star Dry Cleaners on Oliver Street, in North Tonawanda, New York. I could see his store from my cheap apartment above the bowling alley across the street. I didn’t even own a car.
We played poker about once a week and went to some club meetings together. Gordon cheered everybody up.
One night Gordon Leeder committed suicide with a shotgun. Nobody seemed to know why.
I was a pallbearer at his funeral, and although that was many years ago, Gordon still pops into my mind once in a while.
Here’s one of the things I’ve learned in my life: No matter how good things look from the outside, there's usually trouble going on behind the curtains.
Now I pay more attention to each person who comes into my life.

THE STORYTELLER.
"This is Tom T. Hall", he said. I think I'd have recognized the voice on the phone even if he hadn't said his name.
I almost hadn't answered because I couldn't find the phone. I don't keep my music room too neat.
Once we returned from a tour and found the cops at our house. They said our front door was open and my studio had been ransacked. I told them: "No. That's just the way I usually keep it".
Tom T. and I had talked a few times at parties, etc., around Nashville. We had the same manager, and were on the same label, but we didn't exactly "hang out". In Nashville we were always too busy to really get to know each other.
I was surprised at the call.
He said he'd been reading a book of mine on a plane. I asked where he'd gotten it. It wasn't exactly a best seller. He told me somebody on the plane gave it to him. I think he said it was Loretta Lynn.
The point of the call was this: He wanted me to write the liner notes for his upcoming album.
I said, "What do you want me to write?" He said, "Just write that kind of stuff that you write. That's what I want on there."
The album was "We All Got Together And..." (Mercury SR61362.) I'd never heard the songs, and had no idea what the theme was. The most popular songs from the LP were: "Me and Jesus", and "The Monkey That Became President". I learned that later.
I worried about it for about ten minutes, And then wrote the following:
WARNING: DO NOT hold this album under the hot water faucet, because the people living inside the record might pop out into living 3-D, right there in your kitchen... or even worse, your bathroom. The crowd might be hard to explain to the landlord.
This same warning applies to any Tom T. Hall record because of his secret recipe for canning real people
like you and me and Luther Short into plastic discs, without losing the original flavor.
The characters in his songs act completely on their own, sticking up their noses at Mr. Hall. They couldn't care less if he is stuck without a romantic ending, or an earthshaking moral. They've got their own troubles,
and they work them out in their own way. Thanks to the miracles of science, we can eavesdrop in living stereo.
Heroes and beautiful people are the usual favorites of storytellers, but Tom T. finds poetry in us ordinary hairy-legged mortals, with our petty selfishness, hypocrisy, and intolerance... our weaknesses, and our occasional goodness.
So, step inside. You're likely to run into yourself somewhere in this record.
And, oh yeah, as I said at the beginning... Keep this record dry, and out of the reach of children. And please keep Tom T. Hall's picture off the floor if you have pets.

Rustie Blue is in the Top 5 with "The Devil May Care," the second single off of her Chip Chip album! It is currently at #5 on the Indie World Country Chart, as well as their Pick of the Week.

Rustie Blue's new single off of her Chip Chip CD is titled “Tomorrow Tonight”. The song was written by Deborah Allen and Bill Anderson (who is also Rustie’s duet partner on “Chip Chip”).
