Get Sentenced with LoCash Cowboys, Buddy Jewell, Julie Roberts, Mark Wills And More at CMA Fest

You've Been Sentenced

Join in the first annual You’ve been Sentenced!—Country Music Edition during Country Music’s biggest week.

Celebrities will be seated to play the award-winning game on Thursday, June 7, from 2:00-4:30PM at the Hard Rock Café in the heart of the activities in downtown Nashville. The tournament brings together some of country music’s brightest stars who will play the word game to benefit the children’s charities Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and the literacy organization Success Won’t Wait.

The outing offers the unique opportunity for country music fans to sit down beside their favorite celebrities and play the You’ve been Sentenced! card game or simply enjoy the action. Artists confirmed to date include: Jeff Bates, Ty Brown, Burns & Poe, Jason Michael Carroll, Buddy Jewell, Matt Kennon, Danni Leigh, LoCash Cowboys, Justin McBride, Jaclyn North, Julie Roberts, Doug Stone, Rhonda Vincent, Mark Wills and more. The game play will be followed by acoustic performances.

“We’ve always known that the country music industry has tremendous heart,” said McNeill Designs CEO, Don McNeill. “The interest and support shared by the community as a whole for this charity event has been overwhelming and it’s even more moving in consideration of the number of appearances, concerts and events these artists are juggling as part of their hectic CMA Fest schedules.”

Created to go above and beyond family fun, You’ve been Sentenced! has become an educational tool that is garnering rave reviews in homes, classrooms and educational facilities around the world and is now staged to reach a brand new audience. McNeill Designs for Brighter Minds, the game manufacturer, will officially introduce the You’ve been Sentenced! Country Music Edition to entertain the country music fan at the June 7 gathering. The anticipated retail delivery date for the country music version is August 2012—just in time for Christmas retail delivery.

The Oak Ridge Boys, Wynonna & Jason Michael Carroll Can Take the”IF” Out of Gift, And You Can, Too!

Cracker Barrel

For a great gift with no worries ‘if’ it will get there on time, ‘if’ it’s personal enough, or ‘if’ it’s something they can use, choose a Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® digital gift card. With these electronic versions of Cracker Barrel’s traditional plastic gift cards, you can add a personal message and photo, schedule delivery right down to the day and time, and even share it socially on Facebook. And now you can add an image of the Oak Ridge Boys, Wynonna Judd, or Jason Michael Carroll Cracker Barrel CD cover for the music lovers on your list.

“The Oak Ridge Boys are having lots of fun with Cracker Barrel’s digital gift cards,” said Joe Bonsall of The Oak Ridge Boys. “We go to crackerbarrel.com/store/gift-cards/ and order a digital gift card. This is where the fun begins. We then add a personal photo, or select the image of our CD cover, add a message, decide how much we want the card to be worth from $10.00 to $500.00, pick a delivery date, and we’re done. Our friends get the gift of the kind of good country cookin’ that we like to eat when we visit at Cracker Barrel or they can pick out something for themselves from Cracker Barrel’s store. And when they see a picture of our CD on the gift card, it’s a gentle reminder to listen to our music or to buy our CD, It’s Only Natural, which Cracker Barrel recently released through their exclusive music program for one of their friends. I love the way this works!”

Cracker Barrel’s digital gift cards with exclusive music program CD images also include Wynonna Judd and Jason Michael Carroll. Wynonna’s Love Heals CD debuted at #7 on the Billboard Magazine Top Country Albums chart in May 2010. Jason Michael Carroll’s Numbers CD was released in July 2011 with a compilation of songs about everyday life experiences, including “Alyssa Lies,” which reached #5 on the Billboard Country Chart from Carroll’s 2007 album.

Jason Michael Carroll Knows His Numbers! – New Music Weekend

Jason Michael Carroll’s new album “Numbers” is on the Cracker Barrel list along with the other great country artists Cracker Barrel is currently carrying in the music world. This is technically his third album, the first being “Waitin’ in the Country” and the second being “Growing Up Is Getting Old”. He also recorded some long-treasured favorites for Christmas titled “Christmas on the Farm”. The son of a preacher, Jason was raised in a strict family home in Youngsville, North Carolina. His father was a very conservative minister and secular music was not allowed in his home as it was viewed as sinful. Luckily his mother encouraged his singing career and Jason is now deeply embedded in the world of country music.

His first single was “Alyssa Lies” followed by “Livin’ Our Love Song”, “I Can Sleep When I’m Dead” and “Where I’m From.” I was lucky enough to be in the audience at Titan Field in 2009 during CMA Fest and heard Jason on the side stage singing “Where I’m From” and it was evident that he already had a large following and the ladies were indeed happy to see Jason! Who wouldn’t love listening to that lovely southern drawl and watchin’ that wonderful Daddy of four sing? Songwriter, singer and family man – Jason wrapped up in a nutshell!

This new album is genuinely Jason – filled with storied songs of love, fun – there’s even a “Can I Get an Amen” song included which is a song about balance – right and wrong – expecting help from above and doing it yourself. He believes in women’s rights but also loves to see a short, tight skirt and has a few “amen’s” about the government as well. It’s a fun and thought-provoking song that Jason does in his own special way with a great upbeat tempo.

“Numbers” is the new single from the same titled album and is a great play on all numbers in our life – some mean something and some mean absolutely nothing! It’s a cute song doing 72 in a 65 on I-24 in a 4-wheel drive and got a 10:00 o’clock on 18th Avenue! There’s a 30 percent chance of rain all week —- 18 wheelers – radio station call numbers – it’s just a fun and upbeat song about numbers!! It’s a single that belongs on the charts – great melody and some really good guitar backing him up.

“Numbers” promises to deliver some great new country music to Jason’s loyal fans and listeners via Cracker Barrel and iTunes. The other songs that round out this CD are This is For the Lonely, Ray of Hope, Meet Me in the Barn, Hell or Hallelujah, My Favorite, Don’t Know Why I Don’t, Let Me, Stray, Last Word and Alyssa Lies. You can follow Jason on MySpace, Facebook and Twitter and on his own site at http://www.jasonmichaelcarroll.com

Cracker Barrel Serves Up ‘Numbers’

Former Cracker Barrel Old Country Store server Jason Michael Carroll brings his new CD Numbers to the table as the first artist ever signed by the company’s exclusive music program who once worked in one of its restaurants. Carroll, who started singing in public while working as a server at the Cracker Barrel located in Henderson, N.C., has joined the ranks of the stars in the company’s exclusive music program.

The CD Numbers is a compilation of songs about everyday life experiences, including “Alyssa Lies,” which reached #5 on the Billboard Country Chart from Carroll’s 2007 album, and the title song “Numbers,” written by Patrick Davis and Rodney Clawson. “Most numbers mean absolutely nothing,” says Carroll, “but some of them, like the date you meet the person you are going to spend the rest of your life with, mean everything.” Cracker Barrel and Carroll collaborated with the Quarterback Records radio team, GrassRoots and country radio nationwide to debut the song as a single this past April. The Numbers CD debuts today exclusively at all Cracker Barrel Old Country Store locations and online at crackerbarrel.com.

“Jason Michael Carroll’s Cracker Barrel experience has come full circle,” said Julie Craig, Marketing Manager for Cracker Barrel. “Numbers is about the connection between being at certain places at certain times in your life, and our special connection with Jason was born the day he started working in our Henderson store. He’s already made history within the Cracker Barrel family and we hope when people hear this CD, he’ll be on his way to making some music history as well.”

In addition to the 12 songs featured on the CD, fans will have an opportunity to see Jason Michael Carroll perform on the porches of some Cracker Barrel Old Country Store locations this summer. Dates and times will be posted on crackerbarrel.com/music as soon as they are confirmed.

Tracks on Numbers:

1. This Is For The Lonely
2. Numbers
3. Ray Of Hope
4. Meet Me In The Barn
5. Hell Or Hallelujah
6. Can I Get An Amen
7. My Favorite
8. Don’t Know Why

10. Stray
11. Last Word
12. Alyssa Lies (from the album Waitin’ in the Country, Arista Records, 2007)
