(Nashville, Tenn. – April 10, 2017)— The latest in the hit Country Faith music series, Country Faith America, will release on May 19. The release will mark the fifth album in the series that has accumulated $1.6 million in sales to date.
The full-length
studio album consisting of country music’s biggest stars and their best
patriotic hits will be exclusively released through Cracker Barrel’s
639 locations as well as digital outlets such as iTunes, Apple Music,
Amazon and Spotify available through Curb Records and Word
Entertainment.
“I’m so excited about this collection of songs on Country Faith America,” says Deborah Evans Price, founding member of the series and A&R curator. “The
album opens with ‘Country Nation,’ Brad Paisley’s upbeat anthem, and
the project continues with songs that spotlight faith and patriotism
such as Brooks & Dunn’s ‘Only In America,’ Big & Rich’s poignant
‘8th of November,’ and new traditionalist Shane Owens’ ‘19.’ I think
listeners will find a great deal of comfort and spirit through these
powerful songs.”
Rod Riley, President & CEO, Word Entertainment, shares, “The
opportunity for Word Entertainment to be part of curating a beautiful
collection of songs from some of the biggest and most legendary artists
in country music, alongside the passionate brilliance and direction of
Deborah Evans Price, results in something that I know is going to
positively impact countless lives.”
The
series was originally inspired by the popular books written by Evans
Price, Country Faith (No.1 on People Magazine’s Special Country Edition)
and Country Faith Christmas (feat. on Billboard, Country Weekly &
iTunes Top 10 Country Albums Chart). She’s a Country Music Association
award-winning author, as well as a freelance writer
