NASHVILLE, Tenn. – July 15, 2013 – Country music singer/songwriter Steve Wariner will release his new album, It Ain’t All Bad, on Tuesday, Sept. 10.
This is his first non-instrumental album in more than eight years, and
he produced the album and wrote or co-wrote all 12 songs. Wariner will
release the album on his own label, SelecTone Records, and it will be
distributed by Allegro Distribution, a division of the Allegro Media
Group. 

“I am excited to introduce these new songs to my fans,” said
Wariner. “My friends and I have written these songs over the last few
years, and I’ve been saving them for this project. I’ve had fans come up
and ask me when I was going to do another album with vocals on it. I
didn’t mean to take an eight-year break from singing on an album. I just
had such a blast making my guitar tribute to Chet Atkins, so I followed
it up with another instrumental album. Now I’ve got to remind folks
that I still sing,” he said with a laugh.   
Wariner’s co-writers on this album
are Al Anderson, Bill Anderson, Kent Blazy, Rick Carnes, Rockie Lynne,
Rob McNelley, Karyn Rochelle, Jim Rushing, Mike Severs, Allen Shamblin
and Tom Shapiro.
