Nashville Records™ Signs Music Legend Roy Clark
NASHVILLE, TN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 10, 2007 -- Nashville Records, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: NPYC)
would like to announce that it has signed guitar virtuoso and Grand Ole
Opry star Roy Clark as the latest artist for its upcoming Christmas
compilation album. As previously announced, the album will be distributed
to major retail outlets throughout the U.S. and will be broadcast on 2,000
radio stations including Billboard channels. The signing of Clark adds
another accomplished artist to a growing list of performers -- both new and
established -- on the Nashville Records label.
In the 1970s, Roy Clark symbolized country music in the U.S. and abroad.
Between guest hosting for Johnny Carson on "The Tonight Show" and
performing to packed houses in the Soviet Union, Clark brought country
music into homes across the world. His string of country hits included
numerous Top Ten singles such as "I Never Picked Cotton," "Thank God and
Greyhound," "Come Live With Me," "Somewhere Between Love and Tomorrow,"
"Honeymoon Feelin,'" "Yesterday When I Was Young" and "If I Had It to Do
All Over Again." His superb banjo and guitar playing brought a string of
awards including Guitar Player of the Year from the Academy of Country
Music, Musician of the Year from the Country Music Association and a Grammy
for Best Country Instrumental Performance. Clark has also co-starred on
the silver screen with Mel Tillis, in the comedy "Uphill All the Way."
As one of the hosts of TV's popular show "Hee Haw" for more than 20 years,
Clark picked and sang and offered his unique country humor to over 30
million viewers a week. A superb entertainer, Clark has always drawn
crowds at venues as diverse as Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and the "Opry."
Nashville Records President Gene Sibbett observed that "Clark's
middle-of-the-road approach has filled a national void, with this
super-picker offering country music that is harder-edged than Kenny Rogers
but softer and more accessible than Waylon Jennings."
