John Berry To Release New Single in August and Album in January 2008

Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Clear Sky Records) - John Berry will release a new single, "A Woman Like You," on August 20th. "A Woman Like You," written by Tim Nichols and Craig Wiseman, is his first new music in almost three years and the first single from his upcoming album, Those Were the Days, scheduled to street in January 2008. Produced by Kerry Kurt Phillips, the CD will be released on Berry's own Clear Sky Records, which has teamed with radio promotion veteran Larry Pareigis' Nine North Records, as well as independent marketing executive, Ed Gertler, and independent sales executive, Neal Spielberg.

"These strategic alignments with experienced promotion, sales and marketing people are the final elements in properly setting up Clear Sky Records," said label CEO Terry Oliver. "With John, we have one of the finest vocalists in country music, and now we feel we have the label team we need to set up his releases and market to a broader audience."

According to Oliver, that audience is definitely there for Berry. "Here is an artist who has multiple gold and platinum albums, a number of hit singles and is a consistent touring act. With John, we have the proven track record."

The Georgia tenor has been recognized by the Grammys, the Academy of Country Music, and the Country Music Association as a nominee in the Best Male Vocalist category. Berry's first big hit was the No 1 single "Your Love Amazes Me." During his career with Capitol Records, Berry experienced a number of chart toppers and Top 10's, including "She's Taken a Shine," "Standing on the Edge of Goodbye," "I Think About It All The Time" and "Kiss Me in the Car," to name a few.

In 2002, Berry decided to go the indie label route, started Clear Sky Records, and released a new album, titled Songs and Stories, followed in 2003 by his Christmas CD release, O Holy Night. Inspired by the success of "Will You Marry Me," a song he co-wrote with David Lee Murphy, Berry also released an album of classic love songs for Clear Sky, titled I Give My Heart.
