Terri Clark
Terri Clark's multitude of fans will be somewhat
surprised and pleasantly so - when they hear her new Mercury
CD,Fearless. Five years after her recording debut, the Canadian
singer/songwriter follows a natural musical progression, resulting
in a well-rounded project that represents the artist she is
today. "No Fear", one of the two songs she wrote with Mary
Chapin Carpenter, leads off the CD and primes the ear for
the 11 captivating songs that follow. "Fearlessis the most
personal album I've ever made, and the most honest thing my
fans have ever heard from me" says Clark. Terri co-wrote eight
of the 12 cuts with noted tunesmiths Chapin, Gary Burr, Beth
Nielsen Chapman, Angelo and Annie Roboff. |

Pat Green
Green, who had never played a guitar until
he set foot on Texas Tech campus, quickly gathered a loyal
following as he played all the clubs and bars in Lubbock.
He soon became the first choice to open for the big acts
that came to through town. It wasn't long before it became
evident that Green was going to do just fine as a headliner.
Although it has been a long trip to the top, the ever-evolving
career of Pat Green continues to flourish. Pat gives a great
deal of credit for the tremendous success of all his albums
to producer Lloyd Maines. This star has come to stay for
a while and the future of Texas music has found a safe home
on the broad shoulders of Pat Green.

Walt Wilkins
Walt Wilkins has one of those wonderful gifts
of being able to see a situation from a totally unique perspective
and then write a song about it in a way that is commercially
viable and full of artistic integrity. A rare gift indeed.
Raised in the sun of San Antonio, Austin and Honolulu, Wilkins
is a troubadour of the Guy Clark and Kris Kristofferson tradition.
His GrooveTone release Fire, Honey and Angelshas garnered
rave reviews and the song "Ruby's 2 Sad Daughters" is a classic.
He is currently a staff writer at Curb Music and scored the
title track to Ty Herndon's Big Hopes CD. Walt Wilkins is
the heir apparent of the Texas songwriter's crown. |
