  • DUCK THE HALLS: A ROBERTSON FAMILY CHRISTMAS ALBUM IS AVAILABLE NOW! (PRESS RELEASE AND AUDIO)

    Nashville, Tenn. – Duck The Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas is now available at retailers across the country.   The album mirrors the Robertson family’s popular television series, showcasing their offbeat brand of humor and reflecting their values, even concluding with a prayer from family patriarch Phil and closing comments from his son and Duck Commander CEO, Willie. Produced by Buddy Cannon, the Christmas album was recorded at Music City Studios in their hometown of West Monroe, Louisiana and features performances by the Robertson family along with special guests Alison Krauss, George Strait, Josh Turner and Luke Bryan.

    Every member of the Robertson family took part in the recording of the album, from Uncle Si’s version of “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch” to Willie’s “Ragin’ Cajun Redneck Christmas” which he co-wrote with Dallas Davidson to Missy Robertson’s beautiful rendition of “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” and Sadie’s “Away In A Manager” with Alison Krauss.

    The Robertsons, Louisiana’s favorite first family, don’t live in the governor’s mansion but in the backwoods, where their rags-to-riches story is still unfolding. A homegrown mom-and-pop operation, Duck Commander has become a sporting empire by fabricating top-of-the-line duck calls and decoys out of salvaged swamp wood. It’s also expanded into a line of products that includes hunting apparel, cooking products, DVDs, CDs and novelty items all bearing their brand. In 2012 A&E premiered Duck Dynasty, which features the lives of the Robertson family and their booming family business.

    AUDIO: Willie Robertson talks about the song “Hairy Christmas,” and his special guest, Luke Bryan.

    Willie (Hairy Christmas) OC: …good memory. :51
    “‘Hairy Christmas,’ I remember the first time I heard it. I knew that Chancey Neal was one of the writers ,and Chancey is from my hometown. So I was excited to hear it and I heard it and I thought wow, this thing is really catchy. I got a call from Luke Bryan. I was on the golf course. I can’t remember where I was at and he said – he didn’t say nothing. He just said, ‘Have you heard that song?’ And I said, ‘I did.’ And he said, ‘Is it awesome?’ I said, ‘It is.’ So I listened to it more and was able to sing it with Luke, with him participating which was really neat because Luke and I have been friends for a long time and now to be in his face and actually see and do what he does for a living was pretty cool. So, it’s special when I hear the song and see us together singing. It’s a good memory.” 

  • DIERKS BENTLEY PARTNERS WITH CBS TO PREMIERE THE MUSIC VIDEO FOR I HOLD ON. (PRESS RELEASE)

    Nashville, TN – Oct. 29, 2013 – Award-winning singer/songwriter Dierks Bentley has teamed up with CBS to premiere the music video for his emotional and autobiographical new single “I Hold On” across multiple CBS properties.  Today, omg!

    Shot in Nashville, TN and over a weekend of tour dates in Texas, the new video was directed by Wes Edwards and follows a young musician balancing his climb in the music business with keeping a firm grip on the values he holds close.  According to Music Row, the lead single from his forthcoming studio album RISER is a “song that shakes you” and Bentley “delivers with conviction.”   

    “It was really important to me that this video capture the story of this song…my story.  But it also needed to take on the more universal themes that the choruses cover,” said Bentley. “The lyrics were written from such a real and emotional place, and I put a lot of pressure on making sure this video held up to what Brett James and I wrote that day.  I hope when people listen to it, they raise their beers up, but this time for the bigger idea of what we all stand for as country music fans…faith, love and freedom.”

    Bentley will host his 8th annual “Miles & Music for Kids” celebrity motorcycle ride and concert this Sunday (11/3) in Nashville, TN with special guests Luke Bryan, Jake Owen, Brett Eldredge, Easton Corbin and Chase Rice.
