CLAY WALKER'S BAND AGAINST MS CHARITY PARTNERS WITH NATIONAL MS SOCIETY IN 
NATION'S CAPITAL

Star-studded Guitar Slated for Diplomatic Ambassadors Ball Auction

(NASHVILLE, TN) - Platinum recording artist, Clay Walker recently enlisted 
some of country music's biggest stars to help battle against Multiple 
Sclerosis.  Walker's non-profit charity, Band Against MS has partnered with 
the Washington D.C. metropolitan area Chapter of the National MS Society by 
offering an autographed guitar for auction at the Society's Annual 
Ambassadors Ball on September 19 in the nation's capital.  The Taylor model 
210-E guitar bedecked with the authentic signatures of Walker, Alan Jackson, 
Kix Brooks, Ronnie Dunn and George Strait is one of several items included 
in the auction.  Proceeds from the sale of the instrument will be divided 
between the National Capital Chapter of the National MS Society and Band 
Against MS.  For more information about Band Against MS visit 
www.bandagainstms.org

"Band Against MS is thrilled to continue our partnership with the National 
MS Society" says the charity's Director, Kyle Frederick.  "We are sincerely 
grateful for the good work they do and for the individuals, groups and 
businesses that support our ongoing effort to fund research and education. 
We recognize that they are at the core of our endeavor to help find a cure 
for Multiple Sclerosis."

Traditionally under the Honorary Patronage of the President and First Lady, 
the Ambassadors Ball is one of the first events on Washington's full social 
calendar.  While raising vital funds for Multiple Sclerosis, the black tie 
gala hosts members of the Washington Diplomatic Corps, Congressional 
leaders, and a variety of local and national celebrities.  Now in its 29th 
year, the Ambassadors Ball has raised over $11 million toward a world free 
of MS.  More information is available at www.MSandYOU.org.

Since his recording debut in 1993, Walker has scored 11 number one country 
hits and sold more than 10 million albums.  "Fall" the new single and title 
track from Walker's eighth studio album is currently climbing the country 
charts.  For additional information on Clay, visit www.claywalker.com

Lisa Hartman Black Will Be Clint Black's Special Guest Actress/Singer To 
Perform With Her Husband

Nashville, TN   September 4, 2007 - Lisa Hartman Black will take the stage 
with her husband Clint Black in a special performance at his upcoming 
Aurora, IL, concert (September 8th).  Black kicked off his Up Close and 
Personal Tour August 23rd, and will continue on the road through 
mid-November.  Hartman Black will join her country music superstar husband 
on two songs: the award winning "When I Said I Do," and a brand new duet 
titled "You Still Get To Me."  This song, as well as Black's current single, 
"The Strong One," will be featured on Black's next CD release, due in early 
2008 from his label, Equity Music Group.

"Convincing Lisa to perform live was a very special challenge," Black said. 
"She has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard, but her 
preference is for as few people as possible to hear it.  So, it's always 
baby steps for me to get her to sing. first I lure her into the studio to 
cut the track with promises of it just being a scratch vocal to help me 
shape the duet.  Then I convince her no one else can sing it like she does, 
so I get it on the CD.  You don't want to know what I have to promise to get 
her to walk out on a stage with me in front of thousands of people!"

Whatever the promise, fans at the Paramount Theatre in Aurora, IL, will be 
in for an extraordinary treat.
