ZAC BROWN BAND PRAISE CRAZY ANNIE
 |
Zac Brown
Band perform the humorous new video for their 10th #1 hit Crazy Annie
- fourth single - from their sixth album Uncaged.
They played the Myer Music Bowl last year with Jason Mraz and the 2014
Super Bowl after cutting a new album with Dave Grohl.
The Grohl Sessions Vol. 1 was released in December - a precursor
to further collaborations with the lead singer from the Foo Fighters.
"Vol. 1 is literally everything we recorded, but we liked the idea
of adding to this at some point," band member Clay Cook says.
"We don't know what the future holds, but we like the idea, and Dave
loves the idea of making more music, too. It's as open-ended to us as
it is to you, but Dave was cool with calling it Vol. 1. So maybe Vol.
2 comes in 30 years; we don't know. But we love the idea of the intention
to do more, that's for sure."
Zac Brown Band performed with Jake Owen for Super Bowl XLVIII and on a
cruise ship docked at the Hudson River as part of a Bud Light Hotel Concert.
Grohl joined the Zac Brown Band for their performance.

SURFING COWBOY MAKES WAVES IN CHURCH

Californian
surfing cowboy Gary Allan worships whiskey in a Nashville church
in a video released on Black Friday - November 29, 2013. It

third wife Angela Herzberg committed suicide with a single gunshot
wound just after midnight on October 25, 2004. |
In It Ain't
The Whiskey the singer questions his character's attendance at a meeting

OUTLAWS LOCKED UP BEHIND BARS

Hank Williams
Jr, Shooter Jennings and Jamey Johnson go Behind Bars to celebrate the
colourful career of the late Texan born outlaw Waylon Jennings.
We have timed their homage shortly after the 12th anniversary of Waylon's
death at 64 on February 13, 2002.
Hank Jr, Jamey and Shooter perform Jennings signature tune Waymore's
Blues.
Ironically, Shooter recently hooked up his dad's band The Waymores with
his mum Jessi Colter.

Hearted Woman in their medley.

MARTY STUART TEARS WOODPILE DOWN

Nashville
legend Marty Stuart first toured here with Johnny Cash and the late
Cowboy Jack Clement in the early eighties with his then wife Cindy
- one of the singing daughters of the late Man In Black. They wed in 1997 and often play the historic Ryman Auditorium - original home of the Grand Old Opry. |
Fittingly
that's where Marty and his Fabulous Superlatives shot their video and
recorded a live album.
Marty will release his second gospel album - The Gospel Songs of Marty
Stuart - on April 15.
It will include some of his most-beloved hymns and spiritual songs and
is the sequel to Soul's Chapel in 2005.
Stuart made his first professional appearance at 13 with Carl and Pearl
Butler, performed with gospel group The Sullivans at weekends and at 14
made his Grand Ole Opry in an eight-year stint with Lester Flatt and The
Nashville Grass.
When Flatt died in 1979 Stuart stayed in Nashville and worked sessions.
He also toured with Vassar Clements, Doc and Merle Watson and Bob Dylan
before joining Johnny Cash's band in 1980.

FRANK RENO GOES TO CHURCH IN COBURG
 |
Melbourne
singer-songwriter Frank Reno continues the Biblical theme by recording
some of his new video for Better Road at St Paul's Church in
northern suburb Coburg - once the locale for infamous historic prison
Pentridge. It was there he found glamorous model Danielle Ruth whose make-up was applied by Mishel. |
They mined gold by car on a long winding to Shepparton in the Goulburn Valley.
The video
was shot and edited by Usman Zuberi.
"I'm not sure the name of the road," Reno confessed.
"It was going towards Shepparton. We kind of stumbled on it. And
it was perfect for the clip."
Reno has since filmed a second video that revolves around a young couple
discovering the simple yet beautiful things in their lives.
The video was be shot in and around Melbourne and is planned with U.S.
release in mind.
Casting involved "beautiful but believable characters."
