Current Lane Brody album available at GMVNashville.com

Deborah Allen, Daisy Mallory, Bill and Jeanine Walker digital titles now available at iTunes, Amazon.com

(Nashville, TN – Nov. 24, 2010) GMV Nashville’s Lane Brody has recorded two versions of “What A Wonderful World” with legendary singer and Columbia Records artist Johnny Mathis for his recent Let It Be Me: Mathis In Nashville album.

Earlier this year, the two singers recorded a standard version and a Christmas interpretation of the classic tune, originally made famous by Louis Armstrong.  The two versions open and close Mathis’ new album, which was recorded in Nashville and released through Columbia Records in September 2010.  It is available for purchase at digital outlets including iTunes and Amazon.com.

“Johnny Mathis epitomized what I hoped to become as a singer and recording artist,” says Brody.  “From every voice I ever heard, I chose his as the greatest.  As a child and teenager, I did not go out like other kids did, I was in my room practicing, studying every album, every phrase and subtle nuance of his voice.  I have never had a vocal coach, and I was told I did not need one because I sang properly, having learned from him.  At 12, I had to lie to my parents in order to go to one of his concerts by myself.  I sat in a bleacher way up high and cried through every note and word, which I knew by heart.”

Continued Brody, “What was it like to sing with Johnny Mathis? Only God knows, because I have suffered greatly for my artistic integrity, and only He could have orchestrated and given me such a deeply personal and miraculous gift.”

Songs on Let It Be Me: Mathis In Nashville include “What A Wonderful World” (featuring Lane Brody), “Let It Be Me” (featuring Alison Krauss), “Make The World Go Away,” “Crazy,” “Southern Nights,” “You Don’t Know Me,” “Lovin’ Arms,” “Shenandoah,” “We Must Be Lovin’ Right,” “I Can’t Stop Lovin’ You,” “Love Me Tender,” “Please Help Me I’m Falling” and “What A Wonderful World (Christmas Version)” (featuring Lane Brody).

A video for “What A Wonderful World” is available here on YouTube.com.

About Lane Brody:
The beautiful and multi-talented Lane Brody is best known for her No. 1 Country duet with Johnny Lee, “The Yellow Rose.”  She has been nominated for multiple Grammy awards in the Best Artist, Best Album and Best Jazz Vocal Performance categories and was the first female singer in Country music to have a song from a soundtrack (“Over You,” from the film Tender Mercies) nominated for an Oscar.  Lane has also worked as a model and an actress, appearing in the television sitcom series “Taxi” and in films like Heart of the City.  In early 2010, she released On The Wings Of Songs and reissued her collection of Jazz standards, Familiar Places.

About Johnny Mathis:
Perhaps best-known for his landmark singles (three of his recordings—“Chances Are,” “It’s Not For Me To Say,” and “Misty”– have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame) Mathis was one of the very first musical artists to embrace the album concept and record fully-realized thematically and sonically coherent collections of songs.  His 1958 release, Johnny’s Greatest Hits, inaugurated the ongoing “greatest hits” anthology phenomenon, becoming one of the most popular albums of all time after spending an unprecedented 490 continuous weeks (almost ten years) on the BILLBOARD Top Albums Chart.  Johnny Mathis was given the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences in 2003.

“Redneck Christmas” now playing at Country radio, available at iTunes, Amazon.com

(Nashville, TN – Nov. 22, 2010) Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter and Country artist Deborah Allen has announced the release of a special Christmas single with Country comedian Cledus T. Judd, titled “Redneck Christmas.”

Released digitally through GMV Nashville, the humorous holiday track, written by Allen in 2009, was not recorded until 2010 when Judd stopped by the studio to provide the finishing touches and comic narrative heard throughout the song.

“I wanted to write a Christmas song that would make people smile, especially rednecks,” laughs Allen.  “I thought to myself, ‘What would make a good redneck gift?  A free hunting license?  A case of beer?  How about a good, redneck Christmas song?’  It was so much fun to write.  Cledus is my favorite redneck, so of course he had to be on it, and if you wanna know the truth, I think I might have a little redneck crush on Cledus T. Judd!”

“Redneck Christmas” is currently receiving airplay at Country radio and available for purchase at iTunes and other major digital retailers, including Amazon.com.  Allen self-produced the track and recorded it at Nashville Sound Project House with her guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Mike Loudermilk, with final overdubs and mixing at Nashville’s OMNIsound Studios.

In August, the soulful Delta singer released a special Elvis Presley tribute song titled “Amazing Graceland.”  Allen was inspired to write the track after a holiday performance at the legendary entertainer’s Graceland mansion in 2009.  Legendary DJ, George Klein, invited Deborah to debut the song during Elvis Week at Sirrius XM Satellite radio on‘The Elvis Hour’, and a live performance at the annual Memphis Mafia reunion in 2010 in Allen’s hometown of Memphis, Tenn.  “Amazing Graceland” is also available at iTunes and other digital outlets.

The artist behind such hits as “Baby I Lied” and “Rock Me,” Deborah Allen is preparing her eleventh studio album for release in early 2011.  With all songs penned by Allen, the project features the standout tunes, “It Better Be Big” and “There’s A Last Time For Everything,” as well as “Amazing Graceland.”  Deborah produced all of the tracks on the new CD, titled “Hear Me Now,” with the exception of three tracks, which were produced by her longtime friend and legendary songwriter/producer Bobby Braddock.

Now partnered with Delta Rock Music, Allen continues to oversee her publishing companies, Delta Queen Music and Delta Rose Music, while she finishes her upcoming album.  She is also producing the debut release from promising newcomer and protégée, Margaret Phillips.

Now available through Nashville-based digital label, GMV Nashville

(Nashville, TN – July 15, 2010)  Iconic and often unpredictable golfer, John Daly, has added a new shot to his repertoire, releasing an album of heartfelt and semi-autobiographical songs through Nashville-based digital distribution label, GMV Nashville.

His latest effort, titled I Only Know One Way, is Daly’s second album release and features a mix of Country and blues-infused rockers (“Hit It Hard,” “Big John”), contemplative ballads (“Wrong Directions,” “Lost Souls”) and the occasional cover song (Bob Dylan’s “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door”).  The insightful “I Only Know One Way” features chart-topping former Hootie and the Blowfish front man and current Country star, Darius Rucker.  Rucker also helped Daly co-write the title track.

“The album itself is really my life,” said Daly in a recent interview with Airplay Direct.  “All of the songs have a meaning to them… Most of the record is happening – or has happened in my life.  I hope people can relate to some of the troubles I have had along the way.  Everyone around the world has problems, and I want to connect with those people.”

I Only Know One Way is currently available as a digital album through GMV Nashville (www.GMVNashville.com), an online record label that specializes in releases from classic and contemporary Country artists, such as Charlie Daniels, Toy Caldwell, Lane Brody and more.  Much of the label’s catalog is out-of-print or hard to find titles.  GMV also features special projects like Daly’s I Only Know One Way and the epic three-disc patriotic collection, This Is My America.  Daly’s album, recorded for Long Ball Records, is a joint venture project between Long Ball, HopeSong Digital and GMV Nashville.

Following his debut release, My Life, Daly was encouraged to record a follow-up album by friend and Nashville industry veteran, Herky Williams.  Williams connected Daly with songwriter and record producer David Malloy (Reba McEntire, Eddie Rabbitt, Tim McGraw, Julianne Hough), who produced the 11-track collection in Nashville.
