Artists

Legendary country artist John Anderson returns with his new album Years, to be released April 10 on Easy Eye Sound (pre-order).

For several years, Jim Weider's ProJECT PERCoLAToR, has been a staple after the New Year at Godfrey Daniels in The Christmas City (Bethlehem, PA). Joining Weider, for an intimate evening of pure rock ‘n roll, was an all-star cast of musicians, Rodney Holmes on the drums (Santana/Steve Kimock Band), Jesse Gress on Guitar (Todd Rundgren), and bassist Adam Minkoff (Dweezil Zappa/Doyle Bramhall II).

Craft Recordings is pleased to announce three vinyl reissues, available January 17th, from some of the most popular names in country music: Roy Clark, Buck Owens, and Susan Raye. All three artists—interconnected through their love of entertaining—were household names thanks to the television show Hee Haw, but each of them broke new ground in their own right when it came to country music. The titles include Roy Clark’s Greatest Hits, The Very Best of Buck Owens & Susan Raye, and Susan Raye’s 16 Greatest Hits.

Music is in the ear of the beholder. The beauty of music is that everyone hears it differently. This coming weekend three stellar musicians will be coming together for what will be a very special evening of music. It’s not about popularity for these musicians but 110% about THE MUSIC.
