NOTE from Lonnie - I always feel a little guilty because I never have time to listen to mp3's new artists and songwriters send me, unsolicited I might add.  I hate it but I just delete them because I finally figured out I could try to be a nice guy or I could try to work and pay my bills.  My banker had a very stern suggestion that I needed to keep working and be a nice guy on my own time after all my bills were paid.  Turns out that spare time does not exist so I just had to give up on listening to unsolicited mp3's, CD's and giving my opinions and suggestions.  Now I just concentrate on my music business out of necessity but I figure I can give you some links that will answer your questions better than I could anyway.

Here's some books available this week on EBAY

It was a great pleasure working with all these superpickers and I want to thank them all for making the album sound "stone country" Jennifer O'Brien who has worked for Dolly Parton for 20 years, came by to� do the background vocals. Joey Schmidt from Vince Gill's band added some cajun flavor to the tune "Shreveport Truckstop Blues" with his accordion. It took me 36 years to track down one of my singing heroes - the man with the deep voice Jack Barlow - now 84 years old. Thanks for singing with me on your song "Through Hell and Half Of Georgia" - I'm honored - you did a great job! Dawn Sears and Becky Hobbs - I could'nt have had better female duet partners - I love you both! My old friend John Riggs - thanks for the duet and for writing the song "Kings Of The Road" for this album. George and Jesse at the Bayou Studio - you were great.� A BIG THANK YOU to my buddy since 1983, Dennis Adkins who produced the album and sang with me on his tune "Made For The Road". Red Jenkins "My good friend, Red Jenkins has traveled all the way from Sweden to Nashville, TN, to record the� best truck driving album that's been recorded in the past 25 years. This CD�should be a constant companion to every truckdriver who makes the cab of his truck, his home away from home. It was a pleasure to record one of the songs in this album with Red. Red Jenkins has a feel for truck driving songs and a feel for country music, and his great talent has made me a fan of his -- for life". Jack Barlow "In my 30 years in Nashville I've never had so much fun working on a project. Thanks to Scania, Red Jenkins and some of Nashville's finest musicians.� I think we've made one of the best truck driving albums ever" Dennis Adkins "When asking to sing with Red on this project, I was delighted to do so. But when he said we� would be singing a Mel Street song, I was really excited to do it, being a lover of traditional country music. I hope you enjoy Red's album and it's wonderful traditional flavor. It's good for what ails you! �Dawn Sears "Red Jenkins brings us the spirit of the road, not only by honoring the heroes of the highway, but also by letting us look back into the lives of everyday, hardworking people. I'm thrilled to be a part of this album!� Becky Hobbs "When I was asked to write and sing a song together with Red for this truck driving album, I jumped at the chance. It was an opportunity and a pleasure to work with a lot of my friends and sing about a lot of my friends, some living ans some who've passed on. I've always had a lot of respect for these "kings of the road" and I've always thought that country music sounded a little better inside the cab of a big rig.

This country girl who has been off her nursing job of 15 years is making her way to Nashville Nov. 13th-16th.   I start my new job on the 17th in LA, and so it is only right that I start it with some time in one of my favorite places on earth, NASHVILLE!  Rumor has it that I may be in line for some back stage passes to THE GRAND OL OPRY!    ===========================================================     http://www.myspace.com/tommyoverstreet   Tommy Overstreet   Hello Lonnie:   Thanks for including me in your Nashville Showcase.  Here's what's happening in Tommy Overstreet's life at this time:     [  A new album (CD) has been released titled "20 Classic Songs of Tommy Overstreet", on Varese Sarabande Records.  These are 20 of my hit recordings re-recorded.  I believe we captured the original sounds, but with today's technology the recordings sound bigger and I hope better.   Madacy Entertainment has inked a worldwide distribution deal with EMI and a 3-CD set titled "Tommy Overstreet Sings 36 Country Gospel Favorites" is in the new deal.  These contain 31 all-time classic Gospel evergreens, and 5 newly written songs co-written by me.  This was released in 2007 and did very well, but with the new distribution I believe they will be found in new outlets worldwide.   I produced a 36 song package on Albert E. Brumley, Jr. (Al Brumley), titled "36 Greatest Gospel Memories - A Tribute To The World's Greatest Gospel Songwriter, Albert E. Brumley" - Al did duets with 30 major Country and Gospel artists in this great and historic package.  Duets include: Merle Haggard, George Jones, Porter Wagoner, Bill Anderson, Hank Thompson, Glen Campbell, Roy Clark, Larry Gatlin, The Jordanaires, and Sons of the Pioneers, to name but a few.  There are 9 Country Music Hall of Fame members included on this CD.  Chet Atkins played on two prior to his untimely death, as did Johnny Russell.  There is history in every song, and will be seen nationally on TV in the coming weeks, with a 1-800 offer.   My friend and partner, Jerry Naylor, has produced a wonderful package which I had a hand in helping with.  It is titled "The Rockabilly Legends - A Tribute To My Friends".  Jerry became the former lead singer of the internationally famous, "CRICKETS", after the untimely death of Buddy Holly.  He traveled the world singing the great Rockabilly hits of that era, and now we have put together a beautiful hardcover book titled, "The Rockabilly Legends", which is available through Borders, Barnes & Noble and Amazon,com.  The package includes a nearly two hour Documentary, which we have signed with PBS, Four Sound Track CD's, and 110 All-Time Classic Recordings - featuring original recordings by Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Roy Orbison, plus many other artists from the late 50's and early 60's.  We are doing two initial concerts this month (November 20th at Linfield College, McMinnville, Oregon and November 22nd at the Columbia Theater in Longview, Washington).  Jerry Naylor, Stan Perkins (son of the late Carl Perkins) and myself.  We will be doing this "Tribute" show in 2009 in the U.K, Japan and throughout the U.S and Canada.  Please watch for us. ]  =====================================================  "Click" PHOTO to PURCHASE CD ....

Your very happy & grateful, dreaming friend in music Singer Songwriter & Nashville Recording Artist Ulla Lindstroem, Denmark   http://ullalindstroem.bravehost.com YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/UllaLindstroem Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ulla-Lindstroem/26330018192 MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/ullalindstroem CD Baby: http://cdbaby.com/cd/ullalindstroem   ====================================   http://www.myspace.com/billlittleton  Bill Littleton You can tell all those folks the new edition of TheBridgeworks is up on the website,(click here to read) linked via MySpace, etc.  And here's a funny:  Yesterday, I heard from a guy who was in the fifth through the eighth grades with me, and he remembers when I started taking guitar lessons -- in the eighth grade.  Yesterday, he heard some of my music and responded, "I recognized the voice immediately, but the pickin' is a LOT better!"  At least, we hope!! ========================================   Mike Parrish November had a fantastic beginning!  First, and most importantly, my grandson Kendryck is recovering beautifully from an open-heart surgery he had on October 21st at Texas Children's Hospital.  We are so grateful that he's doing so well, packing on weight and becoming quite an active 7-month-old.  Thanks to everyone for all their kind words, support and prayers for his speedy recovery because they surely did the trick. Sammy Hundley and I (Parrish-Hundley Band) just finished an awesome show at the Armadillo Palace in Houston last weekend.  The band had a great time with Mike Blattel on drums & percussion, Mitch Bergen on Bass and Background Vocals, Frank DeBretti (formerly with Blake Shelton, SheDaisy, Mindy McCready and others) splitting lead guitar chores with Sammy.  Sammy, Frank and I all had a part in playing the rhythms and of course Sammy and I on vocals.  It was a LOT of fun and we're booked to play there again on December 6th. In the meantime, Sammy and I are working on finishing up the material we've been writing for the Parrish-Hundley Project which we hope to begin recording in the next month and we'll be back in the studio a few times this month with the band for rehearsals.  It's been a rough couple months with the 3 "esses" (S's) - the storm (Ike), the surgery (Kendryck) and the shows but things are finally beginning to settle down and we're getting back to the business of makin' music.  We'd like to wish everyone a very safe and Happy Thanksgiving and hope to see you down the road!

Below are some of the artists I have produced so you can give them a listen to see if you like the sound I am getting and you can contact them to get a reference on how they liked working with me.  No matter if you choose to have me or someone else produce your next recording project make sure you check us out.  If you can't hear samples of a producer's  previous work or correspond with someone who has worked with them then it is too early to be writing anyone a check.  Just because someone sends you an e mail telling you they think you are the hottest thing since Garth Brooks or Shania Twain doesn't mean they are a good honest producer.  Check everyone out that you do business with BEFORE you write the check and you won't end up being one of those artists that gets scammed. - Lonnie  _ E Mail me at:  NashvilleShowcase@comcast.net
