New Album Release by Audie Blaylock + Redline Next Week!

Nashville, TN (June 13, 2012) --  Rural Rhythm Records  announces the June 19, 2012 album release, HARD COUNTRY, by AUDIE BLAYLOCK & REDLINE.  Produced by Audie Blaylock, HARD COUNTRY is mixed with the cheating and heartbreak songs and that fiery hard-driving instrumental work that AUDIE BLAYLOCK & REDLINE have become known for while performing their high energy live shows.  Musicians on the album include: Audie Blaylock, Jesse Brock, Patrick McAvinue, Russ Carson, and Jason Moore.
 
There are numerous highlighted tracks on the album including the first single release, “A Natural Thing” (view video below). The song was written by Harley Allen who also penned “Home Is Where The Heart Is”. 

HARD COUNTRY also includes two songs written by Audie Blaylock titled, “The Chair” and “A Grandmother’s Love”, plus another stand out track, “Real Good Way to Lose” written by Josh Shilling and Jon Weisberger.
 
Audie said, “I chose the name HARD COUNTRY because I think it really defines the music on this disc. It still has that hard-driving bluegrass edge then changes into slower paced ballad type songs as well, which really show cases the versatility of this band. It also shows just how closely bluegrass and country music are related. All in all, I think there is something for everyone here.  To date, I think this is some of our most creative work and I hope everyone enjoys listening as much as we enjoy playing it.”
 

AUDIE BLAYLOCK & REDLINE recently taped an upcoming Lost Echoes Production TV special BLUEGRASS COMES TO THE VALLEY that also included performances by Marty Raybon, Carrie Hassler, Rodney Dillard & The Dillard Band, and the Darrell Webb Band.  This exciting new show will debut on Reno’s Old Time Music Festival” on RFD-TV hosted by Ronnie Reno airing later this year on BlueHighways TV.  The event was supported by the Mt.
