COUNTRY STAR ALLEN KARL TEAMS WITH HIT NASHVILLE SONGWRITER
JERRY FOSTER ON HEART-TUGGING NEW SINGLE
The Good Guy in the Black Hat is back with a monster smash song written by a Hall of Fame writer,
Allen Karl has hit a Grand Slam Home Run with “Lonelies Only Bar.”
Riding the wave of a string of hit songs on European radio, veteran country star Allen Karl releases another potential smash single this week, “Lonelies Only Bar.” Like all of Allen’s previous chart-toppers, the tune delivers the pure, traditional country sound that continues to strike a chord with fans around the globe.
Its foundational strength lies in its captivating melody and lyrics, penned by Country Music Songwriter Hall of Fame inductee, Jerry Foster. Foster has written blockbuster singles for everyone from Hank Williams, Jr. to Mel Tillis, so Allen says it’s no surprise “Lonelies Only Bar” has the stuff hits are made of.
“Jerry is absolutely one of the best writers country music has ever known,” said Allen, fresh off a European radio tour. “His melodies are always engaging and when it comes to lyrics, he can tell a country story that gets right to your heart.” “Recording Jerry’s song has been one of the highlights of my career.”
And oh, what a career it’s been. Along with being inducted into the Great Country Radio Hall of Fame, Traditional Country Music Hall Of Fame and the Native American Hall of Fame, the Pottsville, Pennsylvania native has shared the stage with everyone from Bill Anderson to John Conlee to Patsy Cline. He’s played the Grand Old Opry and has toured the U.S. and Europe several times over. Allen also has released eight studio CDs that have garnered high praise from music critics, fans and DJs.
His most recent single, “That Jukebox Has A Mind Of Its Own”, reached No. 1 on the Indie World Chart and several other prestigious International country music charts.
“Allen’s music places him in the ranks of country music royalty,” said Jim Arp of Country Music News.
In addition to Allen’s recording and touring ventures, he stars in his own cable television program, “The Allen Karl Show.” It features performances by Allen, as well as interviews with legendary country artists such as Stonewall Jackson, Bobby G. Rice and Jan Howard.
This Fall, Allen will be heading back to Europe for a 10-concert tour to support his current hits. For upcoming show dates, CD releases and other news, visit Allen at: www.allenkarlproductionsllc.com
