Tommy Cash Recovering After Surgery

Tommy Cash

Guitar playing for more than four decades has taken its toll on traditional country artist Tommy Cash, who underwent surgery yesterday morning in a Nashville-area hospital for carpal tunnel syndrome, a painful progressive condition caused by compression of a key nerve in the wrist.

Currently touring in support of his brand-new Fade to Black album for InLight Records, Tommy is expected to resume his concert schedule in early December following a doctor-recommended break for adequate recovery time.

Hooah Radio (www.hooahradio.com), in honor of Veteran’s Day, will rebroadcast its recent interview with Tommy during the online, troop-supported and veteran-operated station’s Nov. 11 day of webcasting.

Boy did my post about The Wreckers get some attention!  I had no idea how heated the conversation would get.  The results really seem to be split down the middle.  Some thought that there is no need to pick one over the other (which I agree) but some still favor one artist over the other and plan to play favorites when the albums are released.

Catching Up with Tommy Cash

When you first hear him speak in his deep voice it reminds you instantly of his brother, the late Johnny Cash, but after speaking with him you quickly understand that Tommy Cash has made his mark and has given us great country music outside the shadow of his brother.

His recording career in the late 60′s and early 70′s produced the kind of country music that all traditional country music lovers pray they will hear again on the radio.  With two top 10 singles, One Song Awa, Rise and Shine, and his number 1 hit “Six White Horses” you wonder why he never dreamed that at age 69 he would get to record another album.

“Fade to Black” features duets with country music greats like George Jones, Marty Stuart and his sister, Joanne Cash.   Along with a few tribute songs to honor his brother Johnny, “Fade to Black” promises to take you deep into country music roots and will leave a lasting impression.

Tommy says he cannot step onto a stage with “just jeans and a t-shirt on”.  He says he know that the people came out to see a show and he enjoys dressing up and giving it 100% every night.


Here is a clip from CMTT’s interview with Tommy talking about his Johnny Cash Tribute Show that is still playing to sell out crowds in the US and overseas.

Just recently while out touring to promote “Fade to Black” Tommy was taken by surprise when he was presented with the “Colonel Aide de Camp,” an honorary commission in the State of Tennessee that has been awarded to individuals for meritorious service since 1943.

You can pick up a copy of Tommy’s “Fade to Black” CD and find upcoming tour dates at www.tommycash.com

We have two autographed copies of “Fade to Black” to giveaway!  Just leave us a comment (include your email address) and we will pick two winners at random next Monday!

Country Music Comes Together to Benefit Mel McDaniel

Friends and fellow country artists of Grand Ole Opry member Mel McDaniel have joined forces deliver a music-filled, star-laced benefit concert and auction Thursday, Aug. 13, for the ailing singer.

McDaniel was hospitalized July 6 following a mid-June heart attack and placed in a medically induced coma by doctors. On July 22, an Opry spokeswoman reported that the Oklahoma-born singer, whose hits include “Stand Up,” “Baby’s Got Her Blue Jeans On” and “Louisiana Saturday Night,” was being released to a rehabilitative center for continuing care.

In a collective effort to assist McDaniel and wife Peggy with their mounting medical costs, members of the Nashville country-music community have organized a 6-10 p.m. concert and silent auction at the famed Nashville Palace, 2611 McGavock Pike, with proceeds benefiting singer-songwriter McDaniel.

Broadcast veteran Keith Bilbrey reportedly is set to emcee the event, which will feature guest performances by some of McDaniel’s Opry family, including Little Jimmy Dickens, Jean Shepherd and Jim Ed Brown, as well as Rick Blaylock, Alison Clements, Jared Rogers, Tommy Cash, Buddy Jewel, David Ball, Guy Gilcrest, T-Bell, Jet Jurgensmeyer, Helen Cornelius, Ken Peletier, Ricky Lynn Gregg, Jimmy Fortune, T. Graham Brown, Billy Are, Hank Beach, Charlie Louvin, Don Wayne, Jack Greene, Jimmy C. Newman, Larry Paxton and Candi Apple Red, among others. McDaniel’s band, Oklahoma Wind, will provide backing music for the lineup.

“Mel and his wife are such dear people and friends to so many,” said InLight Records artist and volunteer performer Tommy Cash. “We hope to have a great turnout for this event and make some great music along the way. Our prayers and thoughts are with the McDaniel family at this difficult time.”

Tickets to the Aug. 13 benefit concert/auction, available at the door only, are $10 per person. (No presale tickets available for this event.) For additional admission or ticket information, please contact the venue at 615-889-1540 or visit www.nashvillepalace.net.
