Jackson Taylor is back with his brand new album on Smith Entertainment, Aces N Eights. The new CD, produced by Jackson and Texas rock/band producers the Vallejo Brothers, is a follow up to Jacksons critically acclaimed 2007 album, Dark Days. With no stop in sight, Aces N Eights picks up where Dark Days left off with Jackson's ""gut bucket, roadhouse, honky-tonk"" sing alongs, like ""Cocaine"" and ""Country Song,"" as well as touching, insightful ballads like ""Sunset"", ""Circle of Trust"" and ""Love Don't Come Around Here"". Special guest performances on the new album include Austin legend, Dale Watson, Red-Dirt pioneer, Jason Boland and legendary guitarist, Jonny 2 Bags from Social Distortion. Aces N Eights brings a new dimension to Taylor's ""un-apologetic"" style and continues to delight... sometimes offend... and always inspire!

Rip Notes
---------

Former Texas A&M student Casey Donahew said that they decided to do a live
recording because of the energy they get from crowds, which was apparent during
their performance on Feb. 27. They recorded their new album live at Bostock\'s in
Stephenville, but that\'s not all we can look forward to hearing on the album.

There are six new songs on the track. Two of the new songs were cut during the
live performance in Stephenville, while the other four were special tracks
produced in the studio. One of those being his current hit single, \"Crazy,\"
which he co-wrote with his wife Melinda.

Donahew also co-wrote with singer/songwriters Andy Pate and Scott Copeland.
Some of these songs include \"Hunter S\" and \"Alabama Slammer,\" which Donahew said
is his favorite new song, because of the vibe it gives and its profound lyrics.
Donahew said he is proud of the new stuff. \"The new stuff is definitely some of
the better writing that I\'ve done,\" Donahew said.

While Donahew said that his roots in Fort Worth inspired his distinctive
combination of classic country and rock and roll, as can be heard in his hit,
\"Stockyards,\" he also expressed that his time here in Aggieland has also had a
big influence on his career as an artist.

\"I have definitely written songs that have had to do with things that have
happened here in College Station,\" he said. \"I draw my songs from life, whether
it\'s what\'s going on in my life, where I\'m at in my life or who I\'m around.\"

The band will also be busy non-stop for the next few months performing and
promoting their new album in places all over the nation such as New Mexico,
Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas, where they have already sold out shows much like
they do here in Texas.

It is clear that this hot band is headed to the top. Wherever the road may take
them, they are ready to go there rockin\' in style! \"As long as people keep
listening, we\'re gonna keep doing what we do, which is playing, wherever it may
be,\" Donahew said.

Release Notes:
Ryan Bingham has spent most of his life on the road, first on the
rough-and-tumble rodeo circuit, then moving from town to town on
the equally volatile roadhouse musical circuit. Those travels have
given him plenty of material to draw from - and plenty of reason
to stop for a moment to dig in his heels and take a stand.
That's exactly what the Texas-bred troubadour does on his second
Lost Highway album, Road House Sun, a hardscrabble collection
that's at once unblinkingly personal and unapologetically
political - the latter a new and bracingly vivid addition to
Bingham's palette.
Produced, like its predecessor, by one-time Black Crowes guitarist
Marc Ford, Road House Sun manages to capture a feel that's rootsy
without being retro. That has a lot to do with the singer's
preternaturally wizened voice - which Bingham laughingly
attributes to "Too many nights in the whiskey house" - not to
mention Ford's approach behind the board," which Bingham describes
as "really old school. Those guitar tones and basslines, Marc knew
how to get those down. He wanted to do it the way they used to do
it."
