Jason Green, Gretchen Wilson, John Rich, Lee Ann Womack, Merle Haggard, George Jones, and Gary Allen are featured on CDX 408 release which carries the first nationally charted single of Platinum Plus Universal artist Jason L Green. The single "Rock In My Cowboy Boots" was produced by Legends Hall Of Fame Producer Robert Metzgar for national radio release at CRB 2007.
Hollywood, Nashville, New York (PRWEB) December 11, 2006 -- Jason Green is one of a very few artists in country music history that have earned the title, "Honky Tonker." That's a hard name to earn in the music business. Jason Green, George Jones, Merle Haggard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Gretchen Wilson have all earned that name for their hard driving genre of country music that leaves the ballads and slow songs on the back side of the record. These artists release the up tempo, type of feel good music when you need a song to perk up your whole attitude and make a big difference in the feelings you have for a world saturated with computers, cell phones, and pagers. "Jason Green just makes you feel good all over, through and through. His music makes you want to drive a fast car, drink a margarita, and dance in a country bar," says George Harris Sr. Music Editor for go.com the Disney Music Channel.
CDX 408 features the current group of Honky Tonkers in country music like the graduating class for the 2007 CRB radio seminar. Jason Green, Gary Allan, Jimmy Buffett, Gretchen Wilson and John Rich, Lee Ann Womack, George Jones & Merle Haggard are joined by the Blytheville, Arkansas native in an all out assault on radio stations that love to play up tempo honky tonk music during drive time. "Rock In My Cowboy Boots," which debuted in the Billboard charts just before the freeze for Christmas music is worth the time and effort to the country music audience. The song debuted #1 in most college markets and has already topped the Billboard Top 150 radio survey after just a few weeks of airplay. After years of working hard, it would appear that Jason Green belongs to that country club of artists that have the same flair for an up tempo song as Mickey Gilley and Jerry Lee Lewis.
Fan Fair 2005 was breath taking for me
While the average "master scale" album costs well in excess of $155,000 to just get started at a label in Music City, Jason brought his music and career to music row just two years ago and sat down and counseled with MCA Universal producer Robert Metzgar about the future of his plans as an artist to record an album, make a video, and get launched into the country music business. "I have been interested in a music career all my life," Green told the white haired 30 year veteran of country music. Metzgar is a veteran hit maker having developed some of the biggest acts in country music in his career. "However, without great songs, no one is going to care about my career," Green said. So, the song search for hit material began and after a year of recording and working through over a couple hundred songs, the album came together in 2006 with hard driving, southern rock, and honky tonk country music in mind. Green who credits his love of country music to George Strait, Hank Williams, Jr., Lynyrd Skynyrd and Grand Ole Opry star John Conlee began with an appearance at Fan Fair 2005 next to the Grand Ole Opry at the Gibson Showcase Theater. "Fan Fair 2005 was breath taking for me," Green says.
Jason Green recorded his first session of songs at the world famous, Chelsea Studios in Nashville where so many famous names in the music business got their start, including Alan Jackson, Shania Twain and Tom T. Hall. His first recording session featured such famous players as Tony Migliore, Rob Hajacos, Jerry Kroon, Sonny Garrish, Jimmy Carter, Pete Bordonali and others. The session reminded him of the Sun Records sessions in Memphis during a time when Honky Tonkers were the kings and legends of the music business. "My parents Dorothy and Leon Green were both born and raised in Blytheville, Arkansas. My dad's family is rather large with 13 brothers and sisters. I have one loving sister Tina Marie who has four sons. My sister's boys are Ryan, Christopher, Austin, and Michael. Jason is married to his beautiful and talented wife Jessica and they have a pug called "Gizmo" that they love like their own child.
Obtaining the right songs from the right people is a must in the music business. Green was able to get songs from the Warner Brothers writing team of Gretchen Wilson and John Rich, DeWayne Blackwell & Bud Lee (Friends In Low Places) and Tom Shapiro (SONY/ATV Music) for his first sessions with some of Nashville's most famous musicians. "It's all about the song in the city of Nashville," Green says. I have admired Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, and Kenny Chesney for their ability to get the right songs and get them out at the right time. I feel like the songs on my album are some of the greatest songs I've ever heard in country music. The writers worked - PR Web Press Release Newswire
The opening day of Fan Fair 2005 in Nashville was celebrated indoors on June 9th-10th, with 10 of the greatest artist performances in the
recent history of the event. The Gibson Showcase Theater www.gibson.com was the only
stage on opening day that wasn’t flooded in pouring rains that covered most of the Fan Fair entertainment throughout the four day event. In spite of the flooding from tropical storm Arlene, the Gibson Theater was dry and
sold out for the fans who were given their tickets through sponsors who graciously sponsored the stage during the 12 hours of music provided daily for fans.
Jason Green who concluded the night as the main country act featured on the stage, was just a country music phenomenon. Green sounds like all the great Honky Tonk names in country music that you have always loved. He did songs from Waylon Jennings, Merle
Haggard, Hank Williams, Jr. and his rendition of George Strait’s hit, “The Chair,” gave me goose bumps. You couldn’t help but feel the hair on your arms standing up as he sang some of country music’s greatest all time hits during the closing segment. The Honky Tonker
newcomer from Blytheville, Arkansas packed the entire club with his fans who had driven
all the way from Arkansas to see him perform. Jason Green was well worth the wait. I could have listened to him sing all night. The
rich, deep tones of a true country superstar wafted over the audience and at the conclusion, there was encore after encore
demanded. The crowd couldn’t get enough of Jason Green. He is a performer I expect to see at the top of this country music business
in the future.
