Records Announces First U.S. Release YOUNGSTOWN, OH (January 3, 2005) – IndieMafia Records is excited to announce its debut CD release: country artist Billy Don Burns’ HEROES, FRIENDS & OTHER TROUBLED
SOULS, which hits stores February 22, 2005. Under a recently
signed agreement between IndieMafia and Cleveland-based Rust Records,
the disc will be delivered to U.S. retailers by Fontana Distribution.
The album, which includes 12 originals plus a cover of Johnny Cash’s "Give My Love to Rose," was co-produced by Burns, with help on various tracks from Jerry Laseter, Jeff Williams, Hank Cochran, Charlie White and John Scott. It initially will be available at Best Buy stores in five states targeting outlets in the Northeast Ohio, Nashville/Memphis and Texas Music Chart regions (Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas). The first U.S. single, "Rock On," is a poignant ode to troubadours, from "minstrel children" to older and wiser (but still defiantly rocking) road warriors. The song, recently released to Texas Music Chart reporting stations, is one of three on the album penned with songwriting legend Hank Cochran ("I Fall to Pieces"). The first international single release, "Keith Whitley Blue," one of 12 Burns originals on the album, already has stormed to the No. 1 position on the Country HotDisc International chart. The driving acoustic two-step, accentuated with harmonica, mandolin and banjo, manages to simultaneously bemoan and revel in the hard living that killed Whitley and Hank Williams. It’s just one example of Burns’ ability to look himself in the mirror and, with plenty of dark humor, unapologetically tell the world what he sees. Other highlights include "Dark Side of the Spoon," a harrowing look at addiction; "Patsy," a heartfelt tribute to the irreplaceable Ms. Cline, with guest vocals by Cochran and Willie Nelson; the album-opening "Mississippi," featuring Tanya Tucker; and a remake of Burns’ hilarious "Haggard and Hank."

fairs and festivals as a six-year-old, was singing for then President
Clinton at a fundraiser by the time she was eight, landed a coveted
publishing deal at 11, and has already penned songs for films like,
"Ella Enchanted" and "Hidalgo," and has recently had
her song "The Real Me" featured in the film "Confessions
Of A Teenage Drama Queen." Alexis has accomplished all of this and
recorded her debut album - all at the ripe old age of 13. She's already
achieved more than some people do in a lifetime...but then, she's always
been sort of driven.Her mom knew she was in trouble, when, as a six-year-old, Alexis asked her quite seriously while watching the CMA Awards one night how she would know which way to go to get up onstage when picking up her award. From that point on, there was no going back for the precocious young talent, who soon learned to play guitar, piano, and even the drums, and began making up funny words to songs on the radio and eventually writing her own lyrics as well. She began performing at fairs and festivals around the area, and was soon opening for artists like Keith Urban, Tracy Byrd and Sawyer Brown and playing to crowds as big as 50,000 at shows like Countryfest around the country.

Army
Medic. A few years ago, his wife of 20 years talked him into putting in
a bluegrass CD with the song "Darlin Nellie Grey" performed by
the "Stanley Brothers". He liked the song so much that
he determined to learn to play. So, he went and bought a banjo. While
practicing daily, he started coming up with some tunes and lyrics to the
early songs he recorded. The banjo went on the shelf for a while, so
that he could continue writing. While recording his first CD
"The Factory Worker", at WSDS Radio in Ypsilanti ,
Michigan, he met and became good friends with Bobby "Swampgrass"
Anderson. Bobby was one of "The Westerners", the band that
started Mel Tillis in his career in Okinawa in the 1950s. Bobby and Doc
worked together on Doc's next 2 CDs "Red, White & BlueCollar"
and "Blue Collar Business Suit". After a successful
launch of those albums, Doc started recording the 4th album, "Boss
And Work Are 4-Letter Words" with William Davis, a fellow
worker, friend, and an excellent musician with 35 years experience as a
professional. Bobby, Bill, and Doc worked on and released this latest CD
which is now on the move in 14 countries in Europe and the U.S.
