"I am beyond blown away to see the generational connection between my first single, 'Strawberry Wine' and all the fans, young and seasoned," award-winning country singer-songwriter Carter shares. "Being a part of a song that has become an anthem for the '90s and beyond is such a blessing and more than I could've ever dreamed of. The fans have been the catalyst for the success of 'Strawberry Wine' and the whole Shavealbum because of their connection to the truth and realness behind the songs.

 

"They lived it -- just like I did -- and just like all of my collaborators did. It was an honor to re-record two favorites with my fellow female artists who inspire me and who I admire. These new versions are a way of raising a glass to everyone who loves these songs, and to the country radio stations still playing them, and to say thank you. I hope everyone enjoys celebrating 25 years of Did I Shave My Legs For This? as much as I've enjoyed putting together these very special releases."

 

1997 CMA Single and Song of the Year "Strawberry Wine," written by Matraca Berg and Gary Harrison, was also nominated for a GRAMMY for Best Country Song, the Academy of Country Music Awards Best Country Song,  and the Country Music Radio Awards for Song of the Year. Carter co-wrote the title track "Did I Shave My Legs for This?" with Rhonda Hart.

 

"Who knew that some girl talk would end up becoming a cultural catchphrase for decades to come? Wow! This song is proof that a genuine, heartfelt message can be delivered with a sense of humor," she added, "yet stand firm in the conviction to not settle for less in this life. Thanks to all the ladies who have sung this anthem at the top of their lungs and to my record label for letting me boldly title my debut album so memorably."

 

Other chart-toppers from Carter's debut album included "We Danced Anyway" (co-written by Berg and Randy Scruggs), "How Do I Get There"(co-written by Carter and Chris Farren), and "Count Me In" (co-written by Carter and Chuck Jones).

 

As part of the album's 25th Anniversary celebration, Carter will perform on the Grand Ole Opry Saturday, October 16, as part of the Opry's 4,998th show. To purchase tickets, click HERE

Tickets are available NOW HERE.

 

“It is such an honor and a career highlight to finally headline The Ryman, our sacred Mother Church, especially being a Nashville native and growing up in the industry, knowing that my dad, Fred Carter, Jr., performed on that stage with so many greats,” Carter says. “And all falling within the 25th anniversary re-release of my very first album Did I Shave My Legs For This? on UMG Nashville. It is a ‘pinch-me’ moment now,” she adds, “and it will be on that super special night with Charles Esten and Breland and some surprise guests too.”

Country newcomer Breland recently covered the first-love love song “Strawberry Wine” as part of Spotify’s 90s Country campaign and will be opening for Carter at the Ryman show. “’Strawberry Wine’ was just one of those songs that transcended time,” Breland said of the ballad.

Want to hear the first track from William Shatner's forthcoming holiday album? You can and read on music friends...

WILLIAM SHATNER GATHERS WILDLY ECCENTRIC CAST OF VANGUARDS, ICONS AND MISFITS FOR FIRST EVER HOLIDAY ALBUM, ‘SHATNER CLAUS - THE CHRISTMAS ALBUM’(OCTOBER 26/CLEOPATRA RECORDS)

FEATURES HENRY ROLLINS, IGGY POP, BRAD PAISLEY, JUDY COLLINS, TODD RUNDGREN, BILLY GIBBONS, IAN ANDERSON, RICK WAKEMAN + MORE

LISTEN TO “JINGLE BELLS” FEATURING HENRY ROLLINS HERE: https://soundcloud.com/cleopatra-recs/jingle-bells-ft-heny-rollins-1/s-oUIsa

William Shatner has announced his very first holiday album: Shatner Claus – The Christmas Album’(October 26/Cleopatra Records). Shatner has assembled a truly eclectic roster of vanguards, icons and misfits for a holiday album unlike any that have come before it. The legend of stage, screen and spoken word has taken 13 holiday classics and turned them on their head, joined by the likes of Henry Rollins, Iggy Pop, Brad Paisley, Judy Collins, Billy Gibbons, Rick Wakeman, Todd Rundgren and more. See below for full track list and credits. 

Listen to “Jingle Bells” featuring Henry Rollins here:

https://soundcloud.com/cleopatra-recs/jingle-bells-ft-heny-rollins-1/s-oUIsa

 

‘Shatner Claus’ gets into the holiday spirit from the very first notes. A sweeping set of strings introduces “Jingle Bells,” but the song quickly becomes amplified as William and Henry Rollins trade lyrical duties over an increasingly rambunctious beat. Next comes a grooving honky-tonk rendition of “Blue Christmas” with Brad Paisley. As the album unfurls it weaves through jazz, blues, rockabilly, bossa nova and beyond, balancing joyful and sentimental moments with blazing rock n’ roll, and big guitar solos from the likes of Billy Gibbons and Todd Rungdren. Other highlights include a memorable duet with Iggy Pop on “Silent Night,” and a tremendous presentation of keyboards courtesy of Rick Wakeman on “O Come O Come Emanuel.” A bonus track version of an even more revved-up version of “Jingle Bells,” also featuring Henry Rollins, is labeled “Punk Rock Version.”

 

William Shatner has cultivated a career spanning over 50 years as an award-winning actor, director, producer, writer, recording artist, and horseman. He is one of Hollywood’s most recognizable figures and a major philanthropist. He released his first studio album in 1968. In 2018 alone he has published a book and released an album of country music. ‘Shatner Claus’ is William’s third album for Cleopatra Records, following 2011’s ‘Seeking Major Tom’ and 2013’s Ponder The Mystery.

1. Jingle Bells feat. Henry Rollins

2. Blue Christmas feat. Brad Paisley

New online music series 'Skyville Live' to launch January 14, 2015

Have a Merry Christmas. I hope everybody has a wonderful and safe holiday! Here is a release that seems in tune with the season of giving...

New groundbreaking online music series 'Skyville Live' to launch on January 14, 2015

  

Premiere Episode Featuring Martina McBride, Gladys Knight and Special Guest Estelle

To Stream Live from Nashville, Tennessee at 8pm/ET via SkyvilleLive.com

Music City's reputation for taking some of the world's greatest music directly to fans is about to take another step forward. Beginning in January 2015, SKYVILLE LIVE will provide music lovers with an unprecedented new online music series, bringing together today's hottest stars and emerging new artists in a unique and interactive way.SKYVILLE LIVE's first episode will air live from Nashville on Wednesday, January 14 at 8:00PM ET via skyvillelive.com. It will feature performances from three of the world's most powerful voices -- country superstar Martina McBride,  the "Empress of Soul" Gladys Knight, and Grammy Award-winning British pop and R&B songstress Estelle.
 

"SKYVILLE LIVE is one of those ideas that kind of grows itself, like the mountain stream that eventually becomes the Mississippi," says Wally Wilson, the show's creator and Executive Producer. "Luck and timing are essential in show biz, and it appears that SKYVILLE LIVE has both. There have been many great concerts streamed on the net, but to my knowledge, there has never been a network-quality program featuring major artists that has appeared on the Internet first. Now, at the dawn of the era of 'smart TV,'  SKYVILLE LIVE has come along to change that."

All episodes of SKYVILLE LIVE will feature major national and international stars and up-and-coming artists from every genre of music, performing songs that made them famous, sharing the vocals and sharing personal stories behind the music, and interacting with the live audience around the world. SKYVILLE LIVE will have no musical boundaries, crossing all musical styles from country to hip-hop to pop and all stops in between.  In addition to the musical magic being made in the intimate setting, the show will also allow people from around the world to communicate directly with the artists being featured in each unique streaming event.

SKYVILLE LIVE takes pride in presenting the past, the present and the future of music. It is a place where some of the world's most popular artists can sit in with icons of music, their musical mentors and fulfill a dream.

No stranger to the stage, Martina McBride is a four-time CMA Female Vocalist of the Year and three-time ACM Female Vocalist of the Year while selling more than 18 million albums. Her latest project, Everlasting, features iconic sounds of the 50s and 60s.

As a tireless performer who has won countless awards and still wows audiences around the world, Gladys Knight has enjoyed record-breaking success in Pop, Gospel, R&B and Adult Contemporary, and has also triumphed in film, television and live performance. Gladys Knight & The Pips were inducted into the Rock 'N'Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Her latest project, Where My Heart Belongs, is a new inspiration gospel album that was released earlier this year.

Estelle is one of our most celebrated pop and R&B acts, with a string of chart-topping hits and platinum-selling albums. Hailing from the U.K., she is a Grammy Award winner who has collaborated with many of the world's most famous artists, including John Legend, will.i.am and Kanye West. Her fourth studio album, True Romance, which includes the radio hit "Conqueror," is slated for release February 17, 2015.

  

Executive producers for SKYVILLE LIVE are Wally Wilson, Dan Bean and Tisha Fein. Wilson is a successful music publisher, songwriter and producer. He owns Skyline Music Publishing with his partner Paul Worley. As one of Nashville's premier songwriters, he has written hits for artists in every genre, including Amy Grant, Vince Gill, Patty Loveless, Aaron Neville, Joe Cocker, Linda Ronstadt, and many more.
