Lancaster, OH. (Top40 Charts/ Rustie Blue Official Website) - About.com: Country
Music is hosting a Listening Party in honor of RUSTIE BLUE's Stronger Than Steel album, and you're invited! The listening party began online this morning, with all thirteen songs from the forthcoming album now posted in full-length at https://countrymusic.about.com/b/2008/08/20/rustie-blue-stronger-than-steel-listening-party.htm.
This is Rustie's very first listening party and she is thrilled to have this unique opportunity to share her music with a wider audience. 'I'm so EXCITED to be having my own Listening Party and very honored that About.com is hosting it for me! How cool is that?'
Stronger Than Steel comes four years after Rustie's previous album. She co-wrote the title track and "Cowgirls Do It Better" on the new album. Other writers on the album include Terri Clark on "Fall In the First Place" (written with Gilles Godard and Bobby Tomberlane) and Deborah Allen on "It Hurts Like Love" (written with Chuck Jones). Rustie also recorded "Where I Used to Be," a song that Country Weekly magazine's Senior Editor, Larry Holden co-wrote with fellow CW colleague, Jerry Holthouse, and also Sergei Olkovsky. Willie Mack produced the album and also duets with Rustie on "Stronger Than Steel" and "It Hurts Like Love." Rustie also included 'Chip, Chip' - her hit duet with 'Whispering' Bill Anderson - as a bonus track.
"One word says how I feel about my new album: WOW!? It's not hard to see Rustie's exuding joy as she discusses her fourth album! 'I feel that I have truly been blessed to be in the studio with such honorable musicians that have backed some of the most famous and talented in the business! To have such gifted songwriters involved with my project! To have Glenn Sweitzer [of Fresh Design + Film] do my photos and album artwork with the same passion that he shows to folks like Tim McGraw and Rascals Flatts! Willie Mack, producer and a star in his own right! What more could a gal ask for?"
