 Nashville, TN (Top40 Charts/ PLA Media) - Jadi Norris' second release, the rowdy Home Is Where the Heart Is, has been winning over the country music scene and received a positive review from renowned critic Robert K. Oermann. The following is an excerpt from this week's DISClaimer. JADI NORRIS/Home Is Where The Heart Is Writer: Jadi Norris; Producer: Jadi Norris & Otto D'Agnolo; Publisher: Jumpin' Armadillo, BMI; Jumpin' Armadillo (track) (www.jadinorris.com) 'Twang rock, with tongue planted firmly in cheek. Pile-driving and lotsa fun. Home Is Where the Heart Is, the latest single from Jadi's Make Hay project, debuted at the top of New Music Weekly's Most Added Country Chart during its first week. It was also recently reviewed in the International Country Music Database: 'All of the songs on this album are well worth taking a listen. Jadi isn't just about touching ballads. Home is Where the Heart Is is the exact opposite with its up-tempo kiss-off attitude! This song is just pure fun! In all, Make Hay is a strong debut album from a man who has honed his craft.' Jadi's zealous pursuit of life and the stage has seen its share of dark periods. A drunk driver nearly claimed his life resulting in countless back surgeries and a body pieced together with titanium. His friends jokingly refer to him as the 'Man of Steel' and Norris is happy to whip out his special issued medical card picturing an x-ray of his metal plated back. 'I set off every buzzer, bell, and whistle at airports,' he laughs. That wasn't his only dark night as a bizarre incident at a hotel would prove to be his most trying situation. While showering, he slipped and fell hitting the soap dish chipping it into an unlikely weapon. It cut deeply into his right (guitar playing) arm hitting an artery. The damage to Jadi's arm was so severe he was told by multiple doctors that he'd never play guitar again. Undaunted, he hired a guitar player and kept entertaining. For the next three years, through tenacious determination, he re-taught himself to play guitar again. Jadi has since graced the stage alongside chart toppers Trace Adkins, Keith Urban, Reba McEntire, Toby Keith and Martina McBride. For current updates and news, visit www.jadinorris.com.
