Joe Nichols' New CD Real Things In Stores August 21, 2007

Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Universal South Records) - Universal Records South has release Joe Nichols' new CD, Real Things, on Tuesday August 21st. The follow-up to his hit laden III is already generating great reviews, with AP calling it 'the best album of his career and probably the best country album this year.'

'Another Side of You,' the lead single from the new CD, is right now a Top 25 hit and continues to climb the charts. It's companion music video is No 14 on CMT. This single follows on the heels of the hits from III, 'Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off,' 'Size Matters,' and the impact single, 'I'll Wait For You.'

'Joe Nichols has the quintessential country voice. He's the finest pure country vocalist in the format today,' noted Universal Records South president and Real Things co-producer Mark Wright. 'Working in the studio with him was an amazing process. He has a very clear picture of who he is, and the kind of music he wants to create. And the great thing about Joe is you can challenge him in the studio to stretch, to try a different approach, and the result is a remarkable recording.'

Real Things continues the tradition begun when Nichols released his now Platinum debut CD, Man With A Memory. Critics heralded the strong new traditional country voice in publications as diverse as Blender and Country Weekly, Elle and Esquire.

Nichols will continue his tour in September though the rest of the year. For more information on the artist, please visit www.joenichols.com.
