#HAVEYOUHEARD - "TALKING TO JESUS THROUGH A BOTTLE OF JACK" BY JYKÄ?

"Talking to Jesus Through a Bottle of Jack” was written for JYKÄ’s childhood friend who he grew up with in a small factory town in Finland and who unfortunately lost the battle for his demons and passed away in 2022.

He says this song is dedicated for everyone who’s lost someone close, is seeking for hope, the right answers or is trying to find the strength to talk to God – with or without a bottle of Jack.

JYKÄ's previous single “Crack a Cold One” was #71 on the Music Row Charts and was the 15th most played independent song. JYKÄ also writes and co-writes for other artists (Bucky Covington, Joe Hermes and more)

DARIUS RUCKER AND JENNIFER NETTLES UNITE ON REIMAGINED VERSION OF RUCKER’S "CAROLYN’S BOY" ALBUM STANDOUT : “NEVER BEEN OVER”

Already an emotional cornerstone of recent album Carolyn’s Boy from three-time GRAMMY Award-winner Darius Rucker, standout song “Never Been Over” now arrives as a duet with the captivating vocals of GRAMMY Award-winning entertainment powerhouse Jennifer Nettles adding a new dimension to the emotional ballad.

Penned by Rucker alongside Lee Thomas Miller and Brothers Osborne’s John Osborne, the original release of “Never Been Over” was celebrated by Billboard as a flipped perspective to Rucker’s chart-topping “It Won’t Be Like This For Long,” with the reflective song “looking back on a couple’s love nearly two decades later, chronicling years of emotional zeniths and low points, a duration spent raising kids and building a life together one day at a time”

We’ve been good and bad, hot and cold

And fightin’ mad, solid gold

Been sunny days, straight-line winds

Been drivin’ slow and guilty as sin

Been back roads lost and blue lights found

Dead of quiet, rockstar loud

Been up and down like we’re built on springs

We’ve been a lot of things

But we’ve never been

Splittin’ up friends, splittin’ up records

Puttin’ up walls, burnin’ down letters

Grass is greener ‘cause there’s something better

Waitin’ down the line

We’ve never been a headlights weaving, taillights fadin’

So long, move on, goodbye waitin’

Never been one last long look across your shoulder

We’ve been a lot of things, but we’ve never been over

“Writing that was very cathartic,” Rucker shared with Garden & Gun of the song. “It was almost like therapy for me. It’s so honest and one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written.”

“Now, to have Jennifer add her incredible voice to such an emotional song, you feel even more of what this couple is facing; unravelling the life they’ve built together,” reflects Rucker. “I’m so grateful she agreed to sing on it with me.”

“I’ve wanted to collaborate with Darius for such a long time! And when I heard the song, I loved its story,” adds Nettles. “But in addition to its theme of lifelong love, it feels so perfect for Darius and I to sing it together. Both of our careers have grown and changed so dramatically since we each started out. And, as the hook sings, ‘We’ve been a lot of things, but we’ve never been over.’ This song is a beautiful example and extension of that constant evolution.”

Currently on the road in Europe for a run of solo shows ahead of this summer’s Hootie & the Blowfish Summer Camp with Trucks Tour, Rucker is also preparing to share his first book with fans, a memoir titled “Life’s Too Short.” Set for release May 28, the memoir sees Rucker share the story of his life through the music that has defined it, offering readers an intimate glimpse into his journey from music enthusiast to music icon.

Yeah, we’re taking our country, our country back"

Houser returns to the road next month for headlining and festival dates this summer before kicking off the Country Round Here Tonight Tour with Justin Moore on Sept. 5 in Charlotte, N.C.

RHONDA VINCENT RELEASES NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO - "PLEASE MR. PLEASE"

Stream / Download "Please Mr. Please" Here

The queen of bluegrass, Rhonda Vincent, is back with a new single and video, "Please Mr. Please."

Rhonda says "I was working on the song ‘Four Strong Winds’ from our upcoming “destinations” themed album and as I turned from working on that song, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, I started singing ‘Please Mr Please,’ smiles Vincent. “There was something similar in the songs. My heart started to race and I instantly thought, ‘This will be a great bluegrass song!’ I couldn't wait to tell the guys in The Rage. When I mentioned it, none of them had heard the song before. This made it even better. I found so many people have never heard of the song and it's like having my own original bluegrass song. We rehearsed it at sound check and then started performing it on our shows. I could instantly tell this song was special with everyone’s reactions, with many singing along, and best of all, people are now asking for it everywhere. I love that!"

"Rhonda Vincent is truly the people's bluegrass queen! It's hard not to have as much fun as she clearly does, seeing how meaningful it is when she's surrounded by her musical community. Rhonda is effortlessly country and quintessentially bluegrass – and these qualities are on full display with 'Please Mr. Please.'"

- Justin Hiltner / The Bluegrass Situation

RISING COUNTRY MUSIC ARTIST ROB WOLF UNVEILS “THE COWBOY WAY”

Promising Country music artist Rob Wolf offers “The Cowboy Way,” as his first release of 2024. “They say the Cowboy’s a dying breed, well I’ll tell you that isn’t true.” Rob wrote this lyric because living in Montana, the thought of working the land isn’t far from his mind. “The Cowboy Way” was self-penned by Wolf and written to spread the message that cowboy’s stick around. No matter how much land is sold or developed, nothing will ever change. A cowboy’s calling is true – work hard, work early, and never back down. Stream and download the new music available today HERE.

The fiddle intro develops the song just as the day starts for a Cowboy: an early morning filled with beautiful faint sounds of the vast landscape, with the sun yet to show itself, but the subtle morning quickly races off to a full-paced, dig-your-spurs-in mode. The music transitions into a full band crescendo, just as the Cowboy readies his horse, his most faithful and imperative partner. The song takes you through a day in the life of a Cowboy as if you were along for the ride and feeling every movement from the saddle. The chorus reminds us to do what we love and do it until we can’t.

Rob Wolf shares, “I feel like this song tells the world what to expect of a cowboy – hardcore grit and an iron work ethic. Being a cowboy is a way of life, not a hobby, and I wrote this song to share not just my experiences but the experiences of all the farmers and ranchers in Paradise Valley, Montana, where I’m from.”

“The Cowboy Way, as its title suggests, is equally a song as it is a lifestyle, a way of life that one would be blessed to experience. The song paints a beautiful picture of the essence and hard work it takes to make it as a Cowboy and pays homage to a life that few understand,” Stated bass guitarist Jordan Jarosky. “Deeper rooted, the song is a metaphor to how we should all live our lives, doing what we love and living it to the fullest. It’s not work when it’s a life and it’s not living unless it’s the Cowboy Way.”

“They say the cowboy’s a dying breed,

Well, I’ll tell you that isn’t true.

If you listen closely to these words,

I’ll tell you what we do.

We’re up before the sun hits the sky,

Saddling horses for the day.

Now it don’t matter how much sleep we got,

We just carry on our way.

It’s built in our blood to ranch and punch cattle all day long.

Generations of ranch hand work that have been passed on.

Some people don’t understand this life we like to live.

We’ll work until our dying days,

That’s just the cowboy way.…”

“The Cowboy Way” was produced by Tyler Cain at Bold Studio Nashville. It was mixed by Mark Lonsway and mastered by Mayfield Mastering. Studio musicians on the single included Tyler Cain (electric guitar), Jackson Eppley (bass) Kevin Murphy (drums), Bruce Bouton (dobro) Jenee Fleenor (fiddle) and Rob Wolf ( guitar).

BROOK ELLINGWORTH CAPTURES GAME-CHANGING MOMENT WITH DEBUT RELEASE “LIKE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME”

Self-penned by Brook Ellingworth, “Like It Was The First Time” is about that first kiss that changed everything for you. Picture going back to that first kiss with that particular person and reliving it. Perhaps it is with the person you are with today, or maybe it was the one that got away. The song's texture reflects the wave of emotions your heart feels after having a moment so intimate and electric with someone who leaves such an imprint on your life. The lyrics tell a story about a boy that wants to go back to the night he met someone, that turned his world upside down, but he never saw them again. This song comes from a personal experience, and the message is bound to radiate with every listener.’

“Like It Was The First Time” is available now HERE.

“With the plan of recording my first single, there was no question on how I would go about it. I already had many songs under my belt, but I wanted something fresh, and ‘Like It Was The First Time” was screaming at me to be shared with the world,” expressed Ellingworth. “I asked my good friend Jake Burns if we could get in the studio with his session guys, and the following week, we hit the ground running at Curb Studios with this band of incredible musicians and gave this song wings. I am so excited to share this song with everyone!”

“Brook brought me this song. He asked if we could get a band together and record a full version of it. Literally, it was the first time for him and I to capture a full production recording in Nashville. I have been recording and mixing for 25 years in this town (Nashville), but this project came together like Brook and I had worked together for decades. Im proud of his progression and hard work. “Like It Was The First Time” shows his maturity as an artist and writer,” shared Recording and Mixing Engineer - Jake Burns.

“We Were, Both Young And Wild At Heart,

Still A Little Far Apart,

Between My, Leather Jacket And Your Soft Skin

That’s The, Air I Wanna Breath Again

So, Take My Heart For Another Round,

Shoot Me Straight Don’t Water Me Down,

Look Through Me With Those Fiery Eyes,

You Made Everyone Else Disappear,

Its Just You And Me In The Stratosphere,

Let Me Spin You Around And Kiss You Like I Did That Night,

Like It Was The First Time…”

“Like It Was The First Time” was recorded a Curb Studios in Nashville with Production led by Brook Ellingworth, mixing by Jake Burns and Mastering by Eric Conn at Independent Mastering. Studio musicians on the project included Aaron Currie (electric guitar/slide guitar), Justin Weaver (acoustic guitar), Robert Blair (drums/percussion), Chris Autry (bass guitar), Billy Justineau (keyboard/Hammond organ) and Jared Harder (backing vocals)

DAVID NAIL RELEASES EMOTIONAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR "IF I COULD CALL," HONORING LEGACY AND FATHERHOOD

Today, country music artist David Nail unveiled a new music video for his latest single, "If I Could Call." This heartfelt song draws from Nail's personal experiences, particularly his close relationship with his late grandfather, whose profound influence continues to shape Nail's perspective on life and parenting as a father of three. The video showcases Nail engaging in one of his favorite pastimes, baseball, with his son, Lawson, who is also referenced in the song. Through Nail's emotive vocals and sincere storytelling, the performance resonates deeply, offering solace to those who have experienced loss and longing. Listen here: https://ffm.to/couldcall

“The best part about this video and the thing that I'm most proud of is the fact that my son was in it. I feel like it's so important to have these moments to be able to look back on. I feel like the kids are right at that age where they kind of realize what daddy has done for a living and what he continues to do. So just to be able to have that memory is super special to me and I'm just very thankful that not only was he in it, but that he cooperated and did what the directors asked.” Nail said.

If I could call

Like I used to

If you were only just a phone call away

Yea I would call

Just to hear you

You always had a way of making everything okay

I wouldn’t be here wide awake

If I could call

David stopped by RFD-TV this morning to chat with Suzanne Alexander and delves into the intricacies of the songwriting process, recounts the moment his wife Cat met his grandfather for the first time and discusses the sentimental decision to name his son after him. Watch here: https://youtu.be/

ANNIE BOSKO FINDS PEACE ON “HIGHER GROUND” WITH GRAMMY AWARD WINNER VINCE GILL

Bosko Set for Festival Performances Including Tortuga Music Festival,

Stagecoach, CMA Fest & Faster Horses Festival

After over a decade in the Nashville grind, a series of failed deals and a vocal cord injury, the pandemic prompted singer/songwriter Annie Bosko to move back home to California. In that moment, she made a promise to herself: she would return to Music City when she got a paying gig. In 2022 she was offered a booking and proudly came back to Nashville.

Performing solo, guitar in hand, she played a private event where, unbeknownst to her, GRAMMY award winner Vince Gill was in attendance. He was so impressed by her vocal prowess that he offered to collaborate on a song with her, giving her his number for when the right one came along.

That show — and his offer of support — reignited her belief in herself to pursue music with full-force and record her first album.

Bosko wrote “Higher Ground” with Gill’s voice in mind, and the result is a timeless collaboration.

“Sometimes it takes someone else believing in you to make you believe in yourself. I hope this message provides hope for those who are navigating tough times, like it did for me,” adds Bosko.

Written by Bosko with Tommy Sims, the message of “Higher Ground” is especially poignant this Easter weekend leading into Passover: a time of reflection and rebirth.

These times are heavy

And oh so dark

My world is breaking apart

Lord, won’t you lift me

I’m falling down

To Your higher ground

This road keeps stretching

It’s been awhile

I can’t keep walking one more mile

You can see clearly show me now

To Your higher ground

Higher ground above all the madness

Higher ground safe from the sadness

When I’m weary let my soul be found

On higher ground

“Higher Ground” follows her self-titled EP featuring five songs including lead single “Neon Baby,” which found Bosko making her late night debut on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” earlier this year.

Having recently made her international debut at C2C: Country to Country in Glasgow with a solo acoustic set to a sold-out arena, Bosko will perform on festival stages across the U.S. this spring and summer, including Tortuga Music Festival, Stagecoach, CMA Fest, Country Jam, Faster Horses and Watershed Festival.

ALLIE COLLEEN PREMIERES DEBUT OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “WHILE WE’RE STILL FRIENDS” FEAT. LEE BRICE

The official support video for “While We’re Still Friends” feat. Lee Brice by Allie Colleen premiered yesterday on Stryk TV and Country Rebel social media platforms. The video is being added in rotation on Music Choice and CMT Music (CMT’s 24-hour channel) and should start spinning the week of March 3rd.

Produced by Logen Christopher at Stormlight Pictures in Nashville, TN, the video beautifully portrays the emotional journey of a relationship coming to an end and the delicate process of moving forward with grace.

“I cannot even begin to share the excitement of sharing this video with everyone. The support on this song has been amazing and I am honored and humbled by everyone’s kindness on the song's message,” expressed Allie Colleen.

"Allie Colleen brings an exciting sound and energy to music lovers as she comes from an iconic country music lineage with a strong tradition of bridging genres. As a host on SiriusXM Classic Rewind and StrykTV, I can attest that while her roots may be in country, her music resonates across genres and generations.” shared Dean Baldwin, SiriusXM, StrykTV, FM2.0.

With a reputation as a notable songwriter with an iconic-sounding, impeccably strong voice, Allie Colleen released “While We’re Still Friends” featuring Lee Brice as her first release of the new year on February 17, amassing more than 100K organic Spotify streams in the first 4 days. The raw emotion-filled song lyrics, brimming with honesty and sincerity, were collaboratively penned by Allie Colleen, Sara Brice, and Lee Brice.

“While We’re Still Friends” is available on all digital music platforms HERE.

Allie Colleen shared, “For me as a writer, this song was written looking at my marriage and the beautiful season about to end. I hope the listeners find comfort in knowing the absolute bravery required to make the best decisions for themselves and for the best of both partners. I hope this song creates a safe space to feel and reflect.”

“As a songwriter, sometimes I find it hard to understand when writing about myself or creating a narrative using other characters. This song was a ‘punch in the gut’ reality check for me. What started as a co-writer’s idea turned into years of unspoken anxiety and repressed honesty about the relationship I had found myself in. This song in its own way shattered my world and in another way saved my life.”

"Simply said…Allie was made for this. She is authentic to her core regardless of circumstance and in this world we live in right now, that is a tough thing to do and a refreshing quality to find. When Allie, Sara and I first sat down to write this song, I immediately saw that Allie takes on the good, the bad and the ugly in her songwriting. It’s never an easy thing to put your personal life into a song the world will hear and I applaud Allie for challenging herself to go there so honestly,” shared co-producer Lee Brice. “The way she plays, her effortless singing, her God-given ability to connect with people - this song has it all. It is an arrow through the heart and Allie delivers it exactly how it’s supposed to be and only how she could. I am truly honored to be a small part of such a big talent."

Jerrod Nieman added, “I love everything about Allie as a friend and just a great person. It all reflects in her music well beyond her years. She makes music straight from the soul. Working with her and Lee Brice in the studio was truly one of my most memorable moments in Nashville. We had such an amazing experience helping her bring her vision to life and to her fans. I am in her corner and cannot wait to hear all her great music to come.”

Production was a collaboration by Jerrod Niemann, Lee Brice and Allie Colleen with mixing by Cody LaBelle, Evan Hutchings (Drums), Mark Hill (Bass), Rob McNelley (Electric Guitar), Lee Brice (Acoustic Guitar), Mike Rojas (Keys) and Charlie Judge (Strings). George Town Masters provided mastering.

ELVIE SHANE RELEASES THE REVIVAL ROUSING “DOES HEAVEN HAVE A CREEK” – OUT NOW

Shane’s Transformative Sophomore Album "DAMASCUS", Out 4/19

Available To Pre-Order/Pre-Save/Pre-Add HERE

Photo Credit: David McClister

Listen HERE

Singer/songwriter Elvie Shane has released his latest single. “Does Heaven Have A Creek,” available today.

Written solo in the days before recording his imminent album "DAMASCUS", “Does Heaven Have A Creek” came from a question Shane once asked himself following the passing of his grandmother, about what really matters, and what comes next. His alluring vocals take you to church, with the heartland hymn serving as another reminder of how the Kentucky native "forces you to rethink anything you think you know, or assume, about the genre’s Music Row bros” (Stereogum).
“‘Does Heaven Have A Creek’ is simply the wondering mind of a believer,” said Shane. “A testimony of hope that Heaven has a few of the simple pleasures we enjoy here on earth. Is Heaven only for A-List Christians? Is there room for a prodigal ‘Good Ole Boy’ from Kentucky just trying to live a decent life and be a good man?”

The track comes as the sixth release from Shane’s sophomore album "DAMASCUS", releasing April 19th. Full of unflinching honesty rooted in compassionate clarity, each track steps into the shoes of another, with Shane taking pieces of each character he’s met on his path, melding them into one beautifully woven work. The album is available for pre-order/pre-save/pre-add HERE.

One of Nashville Scene’s “2024 Artists to Watch,” Shane has already garnered buzz for the project, with releases of “Baptized,” “Jonesin’” and “Forgotten Man,” with the latter dubbed “an ode to blue-collar workers that exposes the heart-aching realities of the working class,” (Billboard), and with his track “Pill,” critics praised its gripping honesty as it “further cements Shane as a new voice of the damaged, addicted, and lost in country music,” (Rolling Stone). Shane also recently released “What Do I Know,” along with a moving video to accompany the track featuring a cameo by John Carter Cash, available to watch HERE.

BRYCE LEATHERWOOD SETS TONE OF WHAT’S TO COME WITH “NEON DOES”

Leatherwood Hits Studio with Will Bundy for First Full-Length Album

for Republic Records / Universal Music Group

Listen to "Neon Does" Here

Republic Records / Universal Music Group Nashville recording artist Bryce Leatherwood is starting the new year with new music: the neotraditional, line dance ready “Neon Does,” out now.

“Y’all I am so excited to share my song ‘Neon Does,’” shares Leatherwood. “This is the first song I’ve written to be released to the public and I am amped up to hear what y’all think! God bless country music and let the neon do what the neon does."

Written by Leatherwood along with Matt McKinney and Alex Maxwell and produced by Will Bundy, the track finds the Woodstock, Georgia native waxing poetic about the intoxicating effects of neon lights on the dance floor. It’s the first taste of new music to come in 2024, as the rising star hits the studio with Bundy to begin recording his debut full-length project.

On the inspiration for the song, Leatherwood recalls, “The write happened pretty quickly. I was wanting to write something fun and upbeat that people would love to dance to. Someone threw out the line ‘Neon Does’ and it immediately sparked thoughts of Brooks and Dunn’s ‘Neon Moon’ and Chris Young's ‘Neon.’ Once that idea was shared, the song just came out...I think we had it written in less than 90 minutes!”

A Georgia Southern University alum, Leatherwood began honing his craft in college, playing local venues and fostering his country music repertoire. At Georgia Southern, he formed his band in late 2021 and began playing all around the Southeast.

After graduating college, he competed on the NBC hit television show The Voice and was crowned the Season 22 winner in December of 2022. Following his success on The Voice, Leatherwood began pursuing a full-time music career, signing with Republic Records and Universal Music Group Nashville in October 2023.

Leatherwood is currently recording and will be releasing new music throughout 2024.

BILLY GILMAN TEAMS WITH RHONDA VINCENT ON NEW SINGLE "THAT'S BLUEGRASS TO ME" - OUT NOW!

Listen HERE

Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Billy Gilman is excited to release his original new single, “That’s Bluegrass To Me” featuring Rhonda Vincent. Available today, the song is an anthem for the ages that pays homage to some of the most iconic singers, venues and festivals in the genre’s esteemed history.

"I wanted to write a song that is a tribute to Bluegrass music and our heritage as a genre, and one that also showcases how widespread and diverse the Bluegrass audience is these days - from New York to California to North Carolina and everywhere in between,” says Billy Gilman. “And I thought that a Bluegrass anthem would be even more complete if it had the Queen of Bluegrass singing on it, so I played it for Rhonda Vincent and she really liked the song and blessed me by agreeing to record it with me. What an honor that is!"

“That’s Bluegrass To Me” was co-written by Gilman alongside frequent collaborators Dan Murph and Philip Douglas. This single resonates with powerful vocals of both Vincent and Gilman, paying tribute to legends such as the Osborne Brothers and Bill Monroe. The song further enriches the Bluegrass experience by referencing cultural landmarks and festivals, including The Station Inn in Nashville, Sonny's Bar in New York City, the Grand Ole Opry, Huck Finn Jubilee, and Telluride Bluegrass Festival. The studio recording also includes instrumentation from world-class band, The Rage. The dynamic pair first performed the song together last summer during Vincent’s sold-out Ryman show.

The previous single, “Delta Queen” was released last fall and went on to become the Rhode Island native’s highest charting Bluegrass single to date. It climbed all the way to No. 2 on the Bluegrass Today Weekly Airplay Chart, following the success of the lead single “Roller Coaster.” The latter is the title-track to the upcoming full-length Bluegrass project coming later this year via Pinecastle Records (release date TBD). Gilman is planning on making 2024 a year to remember, with even more great music on deck to come.

Success started early for Gilman, who experienced a meteoric rise with his debut single “One Voice” in 2000. He went on to gain sales exceeding 10 million units, which led to a Grammy nomination, and helped him break the record for the youngest artist to hit No. 1 on Billboard’s “Top Country Albums Chart.” Throughout the duration of his career, Bluegrass has always been a passion. Growing up, Billy would sit around and listen to the genre with his grandparents, with hopes of one day recording a Bluegrass project. That inspiration is on full display with “That’s Bluegrass To Me” where it mentions a Grandmother sitting on the porch listening to Bluegrass music. The upcoming Roller Coaster album marks Gilman’s first full-length collection after coming in second place on season 11 of NBC’s The Voice in late 2016.

LANCE COWAN RELEASES FIRST SINGLE FROM FORTHCOMING ALBUM "SO FAR SO GOOD"

PRE-SAVE ALBUM HERE

Lance Cowan’s first single, “This Heart Of Mine,” from his upcoming album release, "So Far So Good" (release date: Feb. 23 on CPI/The Orchard) is available today, January 19, 2024. - LISTEN HERE.

“Over the years, so many folks have supported my songwriting, waiting on me to actually release an album,” Cowan said. “I can’t say how much I’ve appreciated their patience and how they’ve stood behind me and allowed me to find the right time for this project. I’m overwhelmed by the response.“

For the past 30 years, Lance Cowan has worked behind the scenes with some of the country’s finest songwriters, including Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Butch Hancock, Michael Martin Murphey, Nanci Griffith, Guy Clark and many more.

Pat Flynn, who plays on the album, is a hit songwriter for such artists as Garth Brooks and is perhaps best known for his work with wildly influential New Grass Revival, recently observed “Of course, writing good songs puts one in a fairly exclusive group – but actually creating a distinctive voice, form and style is to ascend into rarified air. Lance Cowan has achieved a very distinctive style, warm and engaging, but most importantly, recognizable. Lance continues to make a significant contribution to songwriting, not just as a form of expression, but as creative art at the highest level.”

Like so many, Cowan came to Nashville planning to make a living in the music business. His foot in the door at a leading music pr firm, Network Ink, led to work with the likes of New Grass Revival (Sam Bush, Pat Flynn, John Cowan & Bela Fleck), Charlie Daniels, Nanci Griffith, Reba McEntire and many more. It wasn’t long before he moved to powerhouse Vector Management, which represented Griffith, New Grass Revival, Steve Wariner, Ely, Lyle Lovett and more. As an independent publicist, he has worked with artists as diverse as Ely, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, Bobby Charles, Murphey, Drew Holcomb and many more. As a songwriter, his works have been covered by the likes of Joan Baez, Janis Ian and David Mallett, to name a few.

For So Far So Good, Cowan assembled some of the finest musicians in the world, including Dan Dugmore (Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor), Sam Bush, Flynn (New Grass Revival), Dave Pomeroy (Don Williams), Andrea Zonn (James Taylor), Keith Sewell (The Chicks), Robert Reynolds (The Mavericks), Jay Turner, among others.
