CRAIG CAMPBELL'S ALBUM OF NOSTALGIC COUNTRY HITS, "CLASS OF '89", AVAILABLE NOW

Save/Add "Class of '89" Here

Country hitmaker Craig Campbell had a dream come true today with the release of his Class of ’89 album. Six songs that represent the core influences who helped mold his desire to pursue a career as an artist and songwriter is available now on Grindstone Recordings.  

“I have been dreaming of recording this album for as long as I can remember,” said Craig. “These songs are some of the reasons I fell in love with country music in the first place. Every song on this album has a story, and each one of those stories shaped me into the country singer I am today. There will never be anyone that can do these songs as good as the originals, but at the very least I hope I made them proud.”

Clint Black’s “Killin' Time” kicks off the collection, and Craig got to spend time in the studio with his hero to discuss the song and Clint’s influence on his career and songwriting. View the special time HERE and HERE.

“’On The Other Hand’ was the first song my wife ever heard me sing. She didn't even really know me at the time but she says that's the moment I landed on her radar!” 

Craig recently visited with Randy at the Grand Ole Opry before performing the song on the hallowed stage. View HERE and HERE.

“’Too Cold At Home’ is a song we played every show. That song became a staple for us, and the fans got to where they expected us to play it.”

“’Bluest Eyes In Texas’ is another song that the band loved to play. If there was a song that we looked forward to playing every night, it was this one. It allowed us all to shine in our own musical way but also as a great country band.”

“’Be My Baby Tonight’ was the song I sang when I won my first singing contest. You could say that singing that song was the moment I knew I wanted to be on stage every chance I got.”

“’Anymore’ is simply my favorite song of all time, and Travis Tritt is also on the list of my favorite singers of all time. I wanted to showcase the song and it just felt right to do it stripped down, just me and the piano.”

In a move unique in the Nashville music scene, Craig enlisted his friends to hunker down in the studio to record all of the tracks. “These are guys I spent years with on the road. When it came time to go into the studio, I knew there was no other band that could play these songs the way I wanted better than my boys. Thank you David Black, Shawn, Aaron, David Karns, Jamie, Tyler and David Spires!”

The Class of ‘89 album cover was a photo taken by a local photographer in Craig’s home town of Lyons, Georgia after he won his first talent show singing “Be My Baby Tonight.” The photo is the perfect representation of where he was when all of this music came into his life.

Craig dug deep into his catalog of songs recorded during two label deals and gems he cut for his own label, when he released The Lost Files: Exhibit A and Exhibit B last year.

In 2022, Craig and his wife Mindy opened Grindstone Cowboy in their adopted home town of Eagleville, TN last year. The coffee shop, restaurant and music venue has become a popular gathering spot for locals and visitors alike and received Ruthies Awards for best “Local Coffee Shop” and “Live Music/Concert Venue.” They are currently building out their second location in Shelbyville, TN.

The 9th Annual Craig Campbell Celebrity Cornhole Challenge was held during CMA Fest week and raised over $27,000 for the Kenny Campbell Foundation, a nonprofit organization founded by Craig to honor his father who lost his battle with Colorectal Cancer at age 36.

Craig Campbell Sets Date for Passionate Class of ’89 Album

The Lost Files: Exhibit B Lands on First ACM Awards Ballot

Last year was an ambitious time of music for country hitmaker Craig Campbell, releasing the 16-song The Lost Files: Exhibit A and the 17-song Exhibit B, the second of which landed on the first ballot of the ACM Awards. Today, he announced one of the most passionate projects of his career, Class of ’89. The six songs represent the core influences who helped mold his desire to pursue a career as an artist and songwriter. The album will hit April 19 on Grindstone Recordings.

“I have been dreaming of recording this album for as long as I can remember,” said Craig. “These songs are some of the reasons I fell in love with country music in the first place.

There will never be anyone that can do these songs as good as the originals, but at the very least I hope I made them proud.”

“Killin' Time” kicks off the collection. “Killin' Time was the first album (cassette) I ever bought with my own money. That album changed my life!”

“’Too Cold At Home’ is a song we played every show. That song became a staple for us, and the fans got to where they expected us to play it.”

LUCAS HOGE'S "HEY CHRISTMAS" FEATURED IN NEW LIFETIME MOVIE "A COWBOY CHRISTMAS ROMANCE" STARRING JANA KRAMER - AIRS THIS WEEKEND

Lucas Hoge’s original holiday tune “Hey Christmas” will be featured in the new movie "A Cowboy Christmas Romance" starring actress and country artist Jana Kramer. The new film premieres on Lifetime Saturday, December 9, 2023 at 8 p.m. Eastern/7 p.m. Central and will be available to stream the following day. The fun holiday gem was originally released on his 2021 Lucas Hoge 12.25 album.

In addition to Kramer, A Cowboy Christmas Romance stars Adam Senn, Mary-Margaret Humes, Cassie Randolph, Curt Mega, Bruce Thomas, Lisa Lee, and Max Ehrich. One week before Christmas, a huge business deal sends real estate “closer” Lexie Crenshaw (Kramer) back to a place she swore she’d never return: her hometown of Tubac, Arizona. Back on the range, Lexie must convince Coby Mason (Senn), a horse-whispering rancher, to part ways with his family's land, while navigating her relationship with the father (Thomas) and brothers she left behind, leading her to reconsider the life she gave up 10 years ago.

The movie follows the release of Hoge's beautiful rendition of “It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas,” which is available now. Produced by Kent Wells (Dolly Parton), “It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas” was released on Forge Entertainment via ONErpm.  

Save/add "It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas" HERE.

“For those who know me, know Christmas is my favorite time of the year and to have our songs in movies is always exciting,” said Lucas. “I hope these songs bring holiday cheer to a lot of people at a time where we really need it.”

The new single and movie cap off a busy year for Lucas. He released the hit single and video “Nowhere,” toured with Chapel Hart, headlined his own dates and organized the inaugural Belize Songwriter Festival.

Set at four beautiful resorts on stunning Hopkins Beach, Belize, Lucas created the event with friends Dwayne Hoving, Jen Carney, and branding guru Laura Lynn. The lineup featured 10 songwriters including Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame member Paul Overstreet, Lindsay Ell, Craig Campbell, Phil Barton, Trent Tomlinson, Forest Glen Whitehead, and more. Operation Encore stepped in to help send military veteran singer/songwriter Tyree Woods to participate in the event. Next year’s event is set for May 17&18, 2024. Follow www.belizesongwriterfestival.com for updates and to purchase tickets.

The avid outdoorsman returned last summer with season four of his wildly popular television series Hoge Wild.

CRAIG CAMPBELL AND DAUGHTERS RELEASE CHRISTMAS CLASSIC "SANTA BABY"

 

Craig Campbell is wrapping up his most ambitious music year ever with the release of a beautiful rendition of the holiday classic “Santa Baby” today. Craig’s talented daughters Preslee and Kinni take the lead on vocals with their dad adding harmony. Older sister Preslee also recorded Kinni’s vocals, opening a new chapter for the creative 15-year-old. The song is available today HERE on Grindstone Recordings.

“It’s always so much fun getting my two girls in the studio,” said Craig. “It was even more so watching Preslee run the controls and recording Kinni in her own bedroom! Their version of ‘Santa Baby’ will always be super special.”

Preslee added, “’Santa Baby’ is one of my favorite Christmas songs ever! I loved being able to record myself and my sister in my own studio on a song that we both love.”

Kinni summarized, “I am always a little nervous recording vocals but being in my sister’s bedroom and working with her made it super easy and fun!”

Craig dug deep into his catalog of songs recorded during two label deals and gems he cut for his own label, when he released The Lost Files: Exhibit A in February. Continuing the process, he unearthed another 17 songs for The Lost Files: Exhibit B in August. The first single released from Exhibit B is “Summer Soundtrack,” a perfect, sultry season-ender written by Craig with Phil O’Donnell and Wade Kirby and produced by Mickey Jack Cones.

Fans can catch Craig and his band performing at Gilley’s at the Treasure Island Resort in Las Vegas as part of the National Finals Rodeo on December 7 and 8. More information HERE.

WADE HAYES PROVES "OLD COUNTRY STILL ROCKS" WITH FORTHCOMING ALBUM SET FOR NOVEMBER 17 RELEASE

 Wade Hayes has always paid homage to the traditional country music of his roots while establishing his own legacy in the genre. Now the Oklahoma Country Music Hall of Famer takes his admiration for classic country music a step further with "Old Country Still Rocks", an 11-song set that celebrates his heroes, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Bob Wills, Merle Haggard and other icons due out ­­­­­­November 17, 2023 on Conabar Records.

“I’ve always wanted to make a record covering some of my favorite country songs,” Hayes says. “You couldn't find a better batch of songs to find out where I came from, what influenced me and why I do the style of music that I do. Honestly, I could do another covers album tomorrow of songs that didn't make the cut. There are so many great country songs that sound just as relevant today as they did when they were first hits.”

His first full-length album since 2019’s Who Saved Who, the new collection kicks off with the relatable anthem “Old Country Still Rocks.” The song, which is also the album’s focus track finds Hayes name-checking Waylon, Willie, Haggard, Joe Diffie and other favorites while celebrating the swagger those honk tonk heroes brought to their incredible catalog of hits. These songs were part of his musical education as he grew up playing in Oklahoma clubs with his father Don, a well-respected local musician.

Hayes puts his distinctive touch on such beloved hits as Willie’s “Whiskey River,” Keith Whitley’s “I’m Over You” and George Strait’s “Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind,” but he was also mindful to serve up some more obscure gems like Haggard’s “Can’t Break the Habit.” He also delivers a poignant cover of the Patty Loveless hit “Here I Am” that breathes new life into the emotional Tony Arata-penned ballad. He concludes the collection with an uplifting take on the gospel singalong “I’ll Fly Away.”

He also serves up a potent rendition of his pal Johnny Lee’s hit “One in a Million,” a song that is especially meaningful to him because it was written by his mentor Chick Rains. The song takes Hayes back to his early days in Nashville when he played in Lee’s band until the wee hours and then would get up early to be at his construction job. Those long days of burning the candle at both ends inspired his debut hit “Old Enough to Know Better.’

Born with working man’s hands, a poet’s heart and an undeniably powerful voice, Wade Hayes continues to entertain fans and his passion for country music has never dimmed. He’s currently writing songs for his next album and his tour schedule has never been busier.

"Old Country Still Rocks" Track Listing

1. “Old Country Still Rocks”

"A SONG AND A PRAYER", KIM MCLEAN'S COMPANION CD TO BOOK WRITTEN WITH LORETTA LYNN AVAILABLE TODAY

Kim McLean’s A Song & A Prayer Album Available Today

Companion CD to Book Written With Loretta Lynn

A Song & A Prayer, a collection of devotions written by Country Music Hall of Fame member Loretta Lynn and Grammy nominated and Dove award-winning singer-songwriter Kim McLean, was released in May and hit the top of several Amazon charts. McLean put 10 of those selections to music, and her A Song & Prayer album is available today by BFD/Audium. 

Add/save the album HERE.

"I made this album to invite our friends and fans into a conversation,” said Kim. “It's my heart; it's Loretta's heart. That's how these songs were born. Loretta and I sang these songs together for the sheer joy of it as we wrote them. Now it's time to share them with the world. I hope this very special project honors the beautiful legacy of Loretta Lynn."

Kim, who has had her songs recorded by Tim McGraw, Trisha Yearwood, Lee Ann Womack and others, wrote nine of the 10 cuts on A Song & A Prayer with the Queen of Country Music and was the solo writer on “Angel In The Stone.” She also produced the album. The first single, “Long Time Leavin’,” was recently released to Country radio and streaming services. The single can be saved/added HERE.

The two like-minded ladies first met in 2018 at a writer’s night in Nashville. Loretta invited Kim, who is also an ordained minister, to her house not to write initially, but to pray. They bonded over music, God, songs and songwriting. Over the next two years, their conversations turned into songs which later transformed into devotionals and the A Song & A Prayer book.

Kim will be hitting the road with her band this fall, and fans can follow her at:

Save/Add Album HERE

Craig Campbell packed his Grindstone Cowboy coffee house, restaurant and music venue with fans and music industry Wednesday night to play his new album, The Lost Files: Exhibit B, and reveal stories behind all 17 cuts.

“And God said 'Let there be Exhibit B!' And it was good," said an elated Craig. "Here it is! The final LOST FILES chapter. Heart…soul…patience….all were poured into this album. I hope you can tell.”

In keeping with the “lost” theme, the songs on Exhibit B comprise tracks he recorded during two previous label deals but were never released. Also included are songs he recorded since launching his own Grindstone Recordings in 2020 like “All My Friends Drink Beer” and his current single “Summer Soundtrack.” Fan favorite “It’s About Time” receives an updated modern mix on the new album.

Rhett Akins, Ross Copperman, Andrew Dorff, Ben Hayslip, Brice Long, Jamie Paulin, Jonathan Singleton, Michael White, Justin Wilson contributed four cuts, and Craig’s wife Mindy Ellis Campbell wrote the beautiful “You” with AJ Kross and Mike Sprinkle.

CRAIG CAMPBELL'S "OUTSKIRTS OF HEAVEN" CERTIFIED GOLD

(l. to r.) - Kinkead Entertainment Agency's Michelle Barnett, Nathan Brewer, Ben Costello, Bob Kinkead and Julie Devereux; Maddy Grossl, Maddog Management; Craig Campbell; producer Mickey Jack Cones; Mindy Campbell; Kinkead's Greg Scott; Preslee Campbell; Craig Campbell, Campbell Entertainment.

Craig Campbell was halfway through his rousing set on the Dr. Pepper AMP Stage at CMA Fest on Saturday, when his manager, Maddy Grossl, interrupted him with news that his smash hit “Outskirts of Heaven” was certified GOLD. She, Craig’s wife and daughter, producer Mickey Jack Cones, and much of his team entered the stage to deliver a plaque and celebrate the momentous occasion.

“I knew we were close, and I knew we would get there one day,” said an emotional Craig with plaque in hand. “We couldn’t have done it without all these folks on stage, especially my wife Mindy, my daughters, Maddy, this entire team and especially the fans. This one’s for you all!”

Craig wrote “Outskirts of Heaven” with Dave Turnbull, who has had songs recorded by Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton and others. Originally released in 2016, Taste of Country said, “His vocal performance here is one of the best of his career…He bear-hugs the lyrics…and offers them back to a listener in better form than he found them.” The song has received over 51 million streams on Spotify alone.

Last Friday, Craig released “What I Thank (When I Drank),” the first single from his upcoming The Lost Files: Exhibit B album. Craig and Wyatt McCubbin penned the song for his Grindstone Recordings label, and is can be saved/added HERE.

His 9th Annual Craig Campbell Celebrity Cornhole Challenge and Concert last Tuesday raised over $27,000 for the Kenny Campbell Foundation, a nonprofit organization founded by Craig to honor his father who lost his battle with colorectal cancer at age 36. The funds raised will used by research hospitals and doctors who focus on finding a cure and preventative measures for colorectal cancer, the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in both men and women.

Craig released the 16-track The Lost Files: Exhibit A in February. The album covered music recorded during two label deals and other songs he had cut independently. The collection of songs he called “unfiltered, unapologetic, and from my heart” will be followed by Exhibit B later this summer.
