TRACY LAWRENCE

Tracy Lawrence is one of the most recognizable voices in Country music with songs such as “Paint Me A Birmingham,” “Time Marches On,” “Alibis,” and “Find Out Who Your Friends Are.” The entertainer has enjoyed twenty-two songs on the Billboard top ten charts with eighteen number one singles, selling over thirteen million albums.
The Multi-platinum CMA and ACM award winning recording artist has helped shape the sound of Country music for two decades, recently celebrating twenty-years in music. Few country artists have ever known the kind of success that Tracy Lawrence has earned and the influence his iconic voice has contributed to the Country music genre.
His music has inspired a whole new generation of entertainers and fans. Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan frequently pay tribute to the singer live in concert by playing his double-platinum hits like “Time Marches On” and “Alibis.” Songs that help make Lawrence among one of the most played artists on radio.

Lawrence has set out to embark on the next chapter of his music career with his highly anticipated forthcoming studio album Headlights, Taillights And Radios to be released August 2013. The first single, “Stop Drop And Roll” written by hit songwriters Casey Beathard who penned Lawrence’s CMA and ACM award winning hit “Find Out Who Your Friends Are” and Brandon Kinney, marks the singers first studio album in five years.
Headlights, Taillights And Radios is not just another release for Lawrence, it’s a testament to how his music continues to evolve and engage all generations of Country music fans. The 11-song collection features some of his most progressive music to date.
Reflecting on the creative process when recording Headlights, Taillights And Radios Lawrence knew that he needed to push the envelope and creativity to a new level. “When recording the new album it was a very different process than I had ever done before,” said Lawrence. “We ended up recording the album in two parts, that’s just how it worked out. I started recording in the direction to make a more traditional County record. But as time progressed, I needed to explore and challenge myself musically. I wanted to go deeper and try a more edgy and progressive sound that reflected where I was going next. The combination really worked well for me and I think it will appeal to many different types of County music fans.”
The album title Headlights, Taillights And Radios carries a signature meaning for the artist. “Headlights” looking to the future; “Taillights” celebrating the past; and “Radios” a tribute to his success on radio.


Headlights, Taillights And Radios gives us a new Tracy Lawrence. One that is sure to inspire and ignite a whole new generation of Country music.

RAY SCOTT

For many, Ray Scott needs no introduction.  Warner Brothers released Scott's debut album My Kind of Music in 2005 to enormous critical acclaim.  The first single and title track cracked the top 40, but a combination of label politics and radio's reluctance to embrace his fresh approach to country traditions had him off label less than two years later.  But a funny thing happened on the way to post-label obscurity - a level of success many major label artists might envy.

Crazy Like Me (2008) was put together to have a project to sell on the road, but ended up getting strong critical reaction and surprising sales.  Encouraged, Ray connected with producer Dave Brainard (Jerrod Niemann, Brandy Clark) to record Rayality (2011).  The single "Those Jeans" received substantial airplay on SiriusXM and went on to sell a couple hundred thousand copies.  "I kept writing and still had a pile of songs we didn't get to on Rayality," he says.  "So we decided to amp things up and make a record exactly the way we wanted."

As result, Ray Scott follows its namesake's vision without deviation.  "Every song is like a separate vignette in both subject matter and production, but it also exists as a complete body of work," Ray says.  An obvious crowd-pleaser is the first single "Drinkin' Beer," which Scott co-wrote with Tony Mullins.  Scott wrote the murder ballad "Papa and Mama" by himself, and enlisted Mark Stephen Jones to co-write "Ain't Always Thirsty", which is a product of Scott's painful divorce.  "Tijuana Buzzkill" was actually written eight years ago.  "It's a true story, right down to having my foot peed on by a Mexican guy," Scott says.

As a whole, Ray Scott is the most descriptive name possible for the collection.  "It's country music the way I interpret it," he says.  "Every artist borrows and basically bastardizes whatever they grew up loving.  In my case, it was a combination of a lot of great '70s country.  My dad was a singer and I used to hear him do all that stuff.

"The good news is, the kind of music I'm making now is not age-specific.  I'm not out there wiggling my ass for anybody, so it's about telling stories, making people smile and making them feel something.  And I can do that until I grow up, if the fans will still have me.

"I understand that sometimes the business has a place for what I do and sometimes it doesn't," Ray says.  "But what I do has kept me alive out there in the world because it is different enough that people get passionate about it.  They stick with it.  I don't sound like everybody else, and I don't want to."
