PRESS RELEASE

LEBANON, Tenn.  – (Feb. 4, 2014) – Country Music Hall of Fame member Vince Gill and steel guitar legend Paul Franklin will perform on ABC’s “The View” on Thursday, Feb. 6, and on FOX Business Network’s “Imus in the Morning” on Friday, Feb. 7, in support of their album Bakersfield: Deluxe Edition. The CD, an expanded edition of the critically-acclaimed original album with four additional songs, is available exclusively at all Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® locations and online at crackerbarrel.com.
Bakersfield: Deluxe Edition, produced by Gill and Franklin, pays tribute to the “Bakersfield” sound by performing songs made famous by two of Bakersfield’s favorite musical sons, Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. One of the four bonus tracks is “Buckin’ Merle,” an instrumental written by Gill as a tribute to the two country music legends.

The original version of Bakersfield was released by MCA Nashville on July 13, 2013 and debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard Top Country Albums Chart. National Public Radio (NPR)’s Ken Tucker named it one of his Top Ten Albums of 2013.
