COUNTRY RADIO FALLS IN LOVE WITH NEW SINGLE,  "FALL," FROM CLAY WALKER
'Fall' is the Number Two Most Added Single at R&R and Mediabase


(Nashville, TN) - When Clay Walker's title track from his forthcoming album 
FALL went for adds at radio stations across America this Monday, Clay was 
delighted when he received word that his single was the second most added 
song at R&R and Mediabase stations.

"When we recorded 'Fall' in the studio Keith [Stegall], he stood up and 
high-fived the engineer when we got done with the vocal and I thought, that's 
the first that I've ever seen that, maybe he was just glad that I got all 
the lyrics right," Walker says with a laugh. "The biggest thing that I 
wanted to do was to just get songs on the radio and make music that people 
love. I wanted to continue the style they've known me for and not change 
things too much because the music we've made in the past is good music."

Clay's new label feels strongly about the response from radio, too. 
"Stations are honestly falling for Clay's new single which is great with his 
album coming out next week. Clay says it's his favorite song on the album 
and I have to agree, so far audience response to this song has been 
phenomenal," says Carson James, Sr. VP Promotion, Curb Records.

Clay's eighth studio album, and first on Curb/Asylum Records, FALL, is 
slated to hit stores on Tuesday, April 17th nationwide. It has been over 
four years since his last release, and for Clay, who has 11 number one 
country hits to date, including recent success with the Top 20 single "'Fore 
She Was Mama," that's too long!

"I trust my gut more than ever now," Clay says. "I definitely don't feel 
like a rookie, but at the same time, I think the best years of my recording 
career are ahead of me."

Clay has placed 32 titles on Billboard's Top Country Songs chart total, with 
15 of them climbing to the top ten. For liner notes, additional information, 
and upcoming television appearances visit www.claywalker.com. For images, 
including the album cover, please visit www.websterpr.com/clay_walker.htm.

LANTANA Lands Two Performances At COUNTRY THUNDER USA / Texas Show May 25
JOINS ALL-STAR LINE UP THAT INCLUDES GEORGE STRAIT, REBA MCENTIRE AND MORE

Nashville, TN (April 16, 2007) - LANTANA has been added to the all-star 
lineup that includes George Strait, Reba McEntire and others for COUNTRY 
THUNDER USA / Ennis, Texas on Friday, May 25.  The Dallas-based trio will 
appear at 1 p.m. on the Main Stage and at 5:30 p.m. at The Saloon.

LANTANA'S wide range of musical influences, immediately identifiable lead 
and harmony vocals make for high-energy, eclectic live performances that 
have earned them a spot on the Dallas Morning News' Top 10 Country Show list 
for 2006.   Their diversity is undeniable - allowing them to transcend the 
borders of the traditional to create a fusion-rich sound that is based in 
country - and highlighted by rock and blues overtones.

Country radio programmers in Texas and across the country have welcomed Biz 
Haddock, Karol Ann DeLong and Dalene Richelle with open arms, and "Let 
Somebody Love You," the current single from their debut CD, UNBRIDLED (BGM 
Records), is moving up the Music Row Charts after several months on the 
Texas Music chart.  Their previous single, the raucous country-rocker, 
"Country As A City Girl Can Be," was a Top 10 hit. National and 
international media coverage has kept the group in the spotlight and in 
front of the fans, and recent features include the April/May issue of CMA 
Close Up magazine,   Country Weekly, Best In Texas, Dallas Morning News, XM 
Satellite Radio,   Maverick  and UC magazines.

LANTANA has played before sell-out crowds at the Houston Livestock Show and 
Rodeo, impressed audiences during Country Radio Seminar-38, and recently 
entertained the troops at Holloman Air Force Base in Alamogordo, NM.

Event-specific information can be found at www.countrythunder.com .

UNBRIDLED can be purchased at Wal*Mart, Borders, Hastings and online at your 
favorite e-tailers. For the latest news, hi-res jpegs and much more, log on

TODD FRITSCH'S 17-Song Tour de Force, SAWDUST, IN STORES TODAY

 Nashville, TN (April 17, 2007) - Todd Fritsch's 17-song, traditional 
country tour de force, SAWDUST (Diamond Music Group/Spinville), hits store 
shelves today.  The disc, Todd's second, has already offered up its first 
hit with the debut single and video, "What's Wrong With Me," and early 
reviews show tastemakers are already "sold."  (Photo Credit: Melissa Webb)

"Todd's CD is country as cornbread and twice as tasty. Listening to Todd's 
music reminded me of a George Jones lyric: 'Who's gonna fill their 
shoes/Who's gonna stand that tall/Who's gonna play the Opry/And the Wabash 
Cannonball?'" Todd Fritsch is the answer to that question." - Music News 
Nashville

"Todd hits just about all the best Country musical bases - dancehall 
shuffles, Western swing, outlaw music, drinking songs, radio-ready tunes, 
cowboy songs, and ballads that hit straight to the heart-with the same 
sincerity, charm, supple yet authoritative singing and reverence for the 
pure Country tradition that has made Strait a musical icon. And after a 
debut that signaled a new talent on the rise, his second album is a 17-song 
tour de force on which he truly arrives at that artistic sweet spot.  25 
years from now Fritsch will likely be still riding high as an exemplar of 
genuine Country music." -  Cowboys & Indians

"SAWDUST is a stone, cold winner." -  JSI Top 21

 "Todd Fritsch may not be someone that everyone has heard of, but he's 
definitely someone you will want to hear from. He's a Texan, so you can 
expect a lot of great traditional sounding music. There's a lot to like." - 
About.com

 "I'd lay good money (if I had it) that 30 years from now the name Todd 
Fritsch will be honored in country circles and he'll likely still be 
ranching, recording and performing. And all who love pure country, pardon 
the pun, will be thankful." -  Country Music People

"Todd is country through and through. Although his sound is modern, his 
roots are planted firmly in the sounds and traditions of country music. The 
CD is filled with traditional county ballads, Texas swing, some foot 
stompin' tunes, and even a modern country rock number. If you like steel 
guitar, fiddles, and "real" country music, this is the CD for you." - 
International Country Music Database

SAWDUST, and Todd's Diamond Music Group debut CD, TODD FRITSCH, are 
available at Wal*Mart, Borders, Barnes & Noble, Hastings and the 
most-popular e-tailers.

News, reviews, video & audio downloads and more are available at

COUNTRY RADIO FALLS IN LOVE WITH NEW SINGLE,  "FALL," FROM CLAY WALKER
'Fall' is the Number Two Most Added Single at R&R and Mediabase


(Nashville, TN) - When Clay Walker's title track from his forthcoming album 
FALL went for adds at radio stations across America this Monday, Clay was 
delighted when he received word that his single was the second most added 
song at R&R and Mediabase stations.

"When we recorded 'Fall' in the studio Keith [Stegall], he stood up and 
high-fived the engineer when we got done with the vocal and I thought, that's 
the first that I've ever seen that, maybe he was just glad that I got all 
the lyrics right," Walker says with a laugh. "The biggest thing that I 
wanted to do was to just get songs on the radio and make music that people 
love. I wanted to continue the style they've known me for and not change 
things too much because the music we've made in the past is good music."

Clay's new label feels strongly about the response from radio, too. 
"Stations are honestly falling for Clay's new single which is great with his 
album coming out next week. Clay says it's his favorite song on the album 
and I have to agree, so far audience response to this song has been 
phenomenal," says Carson James, Sr. VP Promotion, Curb Records.

Clay's eighth studio album, and first on Curb/Asylum Records, FALL, is 
slated to hit stores on Tuesday, April 17th nationwide. It has been over 
four years since his last release, and for Clay, who has 11 number one 
country hits to date, including recent success with the Top 20 single "'Fore 
She Was Mama," that's too long!

"I trust my gut more than ever now," Clay says. "I definitely don't feel 
like a rookie, but at the same time, I think the best years of my recording 
career are ahead of me."

Clay has placed 32 titles on Billboard's Top Country Songs chart total, with 
15 of them climbing to the top ten. For liner notes, additional information, 
and upcoming television appearances visit www.claywalker.com. For images,

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The legendary western wear specialist WRANGLER joins

LANTANA Lands Two Performances At COUNTRY THUNDER USA / Texas Show May 25
JOINS ALL-STAR LINE UP THAT INCLUDES GEORGE STRAIT, REBA MCENTIRE AND MORE

Nashville, TN (April 16, 2007) - LANTANA has been added to the all-star 
lineup that includes George Strait, Reba McEntire and others for COUNTRY 
THUNDER USA / Ennis, Texas on Friday, May 25.  The Dallas-based trio will 
appear at 1 p.m. on the Main Stage and at 5:30 p.m. at The Saloon.

LANTANA'S wide range of musical influences, immediately identifiable lead 
and harmony vocals make for high-energy, eclectic live performances that 
have earned them a spot on the Dallas Morning News' Top 10 Country Show list 
for 2006.   Their diversity is undeniable - allowing them to transcend the 
borders of the traditional to create a fusion-rich sound that is based in 
country - and highlighted by rock and blues overtones.

Country radio programmers in Texas and across the country have welcomed Biz 
Haddock, Karol Ann DeLong and Dalene Richelle with open arms, and "Let 
Somebody Love You," the current single from their debut CD, UNBRIDLED (BGM 
Records), is moving up the Music Row Charts after several months on the 
Texas Music chart.  Their previous single, the raucous country-rocker, 
"Country As A City Girl Can Be," was a Top 10 hit. National and 
international media coverage has kept the group in the spotlight and in 
front of the fans, and recent features include the April/May issue of CMA 
Close Up magazine,   Country Weekly, Best In Texas, Dallas Morning News, XM 
Satellite Radio,   Maverick  and UC magazines.

LANTANA has played before sell-out crowds at the Houston Livestock Show and 
Rodeo, impressed audiences during Country Radio Seminar-38, and recently 
entertained the troops at Holloman Air Force Base in Alamogordo, NM.

Event-specific information can be found at www.countrythunder.com .

UNBRIDLED can be purchased at Wal*Mart, Borders, Hastings and online at your 
favorite e-tailers. For the latest news, hi-res jpegs and much more, log on

TODD FRITSCH'S 17-Song Tour de Force, SAWDUST, IN STORES TODAY

 Nashville, TN (April 17, 2007) - Todd Fritsch's 17-song, traditional 
country tour de force, SAWDUST (Diamond Music Group/Spinville), hits store 
shelves today.  The disc, Todd's second, has already offered up its first 
hit with the debut single and video, "What's Wrong With Me," and early 
reviews show tastemakers are already "sold."  (Photo Credit: Melissa Webb)

"Todd's CD is country as cornbread and twice as tasty. Listening to Todd's 
music reminded me of a George Jones lyric: 'Who's gonna fill their 
shoes/Who's gonna stand that tall/Who's gonna play the Opry/And the Wabash 
Cannonball?'" Todd Fritsch is the answer to that question." - Music News 
Nashville

"Todd hits just about all the best Country musical bases - dancehall 
shuffles, Western swing, outlaw music, drinking songs, radio-ready tunes, 
cowboy songs, and ballads that hit straight to the heart-with the same 
sincerity, charm, supple yet authoritative singing and reverence for the 
pure Country tradition that has made Strait a musical icon. And after a 
debut that signaled a new talent on the rise, his second album is a 17-song 
tour de force on which he truly arrives at that artistic sweet spot.  25 
years from now Fritsch will likely be still riding high as an exemplar of 
genuine Country music." -  Cowboys & Indians

"SAWDUST is a stone, cold winner." -  JSI Top 21

 "Todd Fritsch may not be someone that everyone has heard of, but he's 
definitely someone you will want to hear from. He's a Texan, so you can 
expect a lot of great traditional sounding music. There's a lot to like." - 
About.com

 "I'd lay good money (if I had it) that 30 years from now the name Todd 
Fritsch will be honored in country circles and he'll likely still be 
ranching, recording and performing. And all who love pure country, pardon 
the pun, will be thankful." -  Country Music People

"Todd is country through and through. Although his sound is modern, his 
roots are planted firmly in the sounds and traditions of country music. The 
CD is filled with traditional county ballads, Texas swing, some foot 
stompin' tunes, and even a modern country rock number. If you like steel 
guitar, fiddles, and "real" country music, this is the CD for you." - 
International Country Music Database

SAWDUST, and Todd's Diamond Music Group debut CD, TODD FRITSCH, are 
available at Wal*Mart, Borders, Barnes & Noble, Hastings and the 
most-popular e-tailers.

News, reviews, video & audio downloads and more are available at 
www.toddfritsch.com  or Todd's My Space Page.
