Rustie Blue has released the third single off of her Chip Chip cd titled “Tomorrow Tonight”. The song was written by Deborah Allen and Bill Anderson (who is also Rustie's duet partner on “Chip Chip”). This mid-tempo ballad is about a couple getting together for the very first time and not worrying about anything else but that moment.
Rustie Blue's "The Devil May Care," the second single off of her Chip Chip album, is currently at No 3 on the Indie World Country Chart! This sassy, traditional country song is a catchy tune about a relationship gone bad.
Rustie Blue was also in Country Weekly, again! The August 1 issue mentions in the Scene and Heard section that Rustie & Bill Anderson won the ECMA "Vocal Collaboration of the Year" for "Chip Chip", their hit duet. Also, Music City News has Rustie as the Artist of Interest for their August/September issue. Fans can listen to song clips and read more about Rustie in the feature!
