Cracker Barrel Presents: The Gospel Side of Dailey & Vincent

Posted by TawnyTucker on January 3rd, 2012

The Gospel Side of Dailey & Vincent

Usher in the new year with a dozen uplifting songs sung by duo, Dailey & Vincent. The Gospel Side of Dailey & Vincent features new songs brimming with inspirational messages and melodies as well as popular favorites that the duo performs in their shows. The Gospel Side of Dailey & Vincent can be pre-ordered beginning today at crackerbarrel.com using the code DVGOSPEL and will arrive in all Cracker Barrel locations on January 9th. The first 200 fans to place an order will receive a copy of the album autographed by Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent.

“Once again, we are pleased to be associated with Cracker Barrel Old Country Store and excited to lend our styles of Gospel music on our newest endeavor, The Gospel Side of Dailey and Vincent,” said Dailey.

The Gospel Side of Dailey & Vincent is the group’s second CD in the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® exclusive music program.

“Bluegrass, Country and Gospel are common threads of America and with Cracker Barrel, so their guests are the same folks we perform for and reach out to through radio, TV, and CDs,” explained Darrin Vincent. “We offered the idea of a Gospel album to Cracker Barrel’s Marketing Manager Julie Craig. She thought it would be a good fit since our first Cracker Barrel release, Dailey & Vincent Sing the Statler Brothers, had done well and won Bluegrass Album of the Year in 2010, plus a Grammy® Award nomination.”

On January 5th, Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent will visit WSM’s The Eddie Stubbs Show for an exclusive world premiere of The Gospel Side of Dailey & Vincent. Fans can tune in to 650AM WSM from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. for a special preview of the new album and the behind-the-scenes scoop on the making of the duo’s brand new Gospel recordings.

In support of the new album, Dailey & Vincent will make several in-store visits at select Cracker Barrel locations throughout early 2012. For a complete schedule of appearances, visit daileyandvincent.com.

“Jamie and Darrin have a natural, authentic connection with our guests and our brand,” said Cracker Barrel Marketing Manager Julie Craig. “We thought from the start that working on a project with them would develop into a wonderful business relationship and it has. But even more importantly, we’re pleased to work with such talented and genuine individuals.”

Posted by TawnyTucker on August 6th, 2011

The Oak Ridge Boys, on fire with “Elvira” and a whole lot more, will release their new It’s Only Natural CD through the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® exclusive music program on September 19, 2011. The CD celebrates the thirtieth year of “Elvira” with a rerecording of that signature hit along with six other hits plus five new songs. In addition to the CD, the group will celebrate another history-making milestone on August 6 when they’re officially inducted into the Grand Ole Opry®, the revered home of country music.

This is Michael’s ninth project co-producing with Duane.” The collection of songs includes former Top Ten Billboard hits “Lucky Moon,” “No Matter How High,” “Gonna Take a Lot of River,” “Beyond Those Years” and “True Heart.” “Louisiana Red Dirt Highway” was a No. 1 CMT video hit for William Lee Golden as a solo project. One of the new songs, “Sacrifice…for Me,” written by Joe Bonsall, is dedicated to America’s heroes. The CD will be available exclusively at all Cracker Barrel locations.

“The Oak Ridge Boys’ authenticity and ability to connect with multi-generational audiences make them a perfect fit with our guests and our brand,” said Julie Craig, marketing manager for Cracker Barrel. “We’re delighted to celebrate their 30 year anniversary of ‘Elvira’ and to offer our guests this special CD as part of our exclusive music program. We’re also thrilled to know that in just a few days, they will become official members of the Grand Ole Opry. What a wonderful and well-deserved honor!”

The Classic Collection includes live performances recorded on the celebrated stage of the Grand Ole Opry spanning six decades from the mid 1950s to the 2000s.

A long list of country stars’ memorable performances at the Opry is captured on the Grand Ole Opry Classic Collection CDs: Duets, Outlaws, and Classic Hits.
