Johnny Bush single 'Whiskey River' debuts at No 24!

SAN ANTONIO, TX. (BGM Records) - Texas Legend Johnny Bush's new single 'Whiskey River,' debuts this week at No 24 on the Texas Music Chart. Willie Nelson joins Bush on the popular 'Whiskey River,' penned by Bush.
The song was a major hit for both Nelson and Bush and marks the first time the two have recorded 'Whiskey River' together.

'Whiskey River' is the first single release from Bush's album; HonkyTonic, due in stores September 7th. The new album features duets with Cooder Graw, Stephanie Urbina Jones, Tommy Alverson, Kevin Fowler, and Willie Nelson.

HonkyTonic is already receiving rave reviews. Noted Country Music historian Robert K. Oermann writes, 'Many people assume that Willie's longtime concert opener is one of his own songs. It is, rather, the work of Texas legend Johnny Bush. The two team up for this ragged-but-right rendition. Johnny takes a leather-lunged attack; Willie is a laid-back jazzbo.'

John Goodspeed of The San Antonio Express News loudly proclaims, ''If sensitive, saccharine love ballads are an illness, then Johnny Bush has the cure - a stiff shot of HonkyTonic. Bush knows that great songs, like great literature, don't always have happy endings; that we can learn about ourselves through pain and misery, something he's been a master at teaching for years. The icing is a ride down Bush's "Whiskey River" with Willie Nelson, surprisingly the first time they ever paired up to record it. Make my "HonkyTonic" a double.'
