Inspired by Jerry Reed: Harmony Dreamers “Go Country” On Latest Single

DENVER, CO, USA – October 7, 2022 – With the August release of their album, “I Come From Earth,” the global collective, Harmony Dreamers blazed onto the international music scene.

The new studio project of prolific songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Byron Lee Scott offers a timely message of worldwide unity with contributions from an array of top-flight musicians from every continent, including 20 international backup singers.

The humorous title track has earned Top 15 radio status on UK radio charts, hitting the UK iTunes Pop Songs chart, while racking up more than 40K Spotify streams and over 6K monthly listeners.  The lyric video for the song has enjoyed more than 5K youtube views.  So, how does an act with Irish and Nigerian bassists, Spanish and Venezuelan percussionists and singers from the U.S., Argentina, and Austria come to record and release a COUNTRY music version of their hit song?

“There are several reasons why I decided to release a country music version of the title track, ‘I Come From Earth,’ said Scott. “This was not a last minute decision. It was recorded at the beginning of the album project. I have always enjoyed artists who can write a song with humor at times, like Joe Walsh. One of my favorite artists of all time is Jerry Reed. I love so many of his songs, and he can do many styles, besides humor.

Nevertheless, some of my favorite songs of his were ‘Amos Moses,’  ‘When You’re Hot You’re Hot,’ and ‘Good Lord Mr Ford.’ I think this song speaks to the global concept of the album, connection and togetherness, but in a light-hearted way. And because I have loved the music of Jerry Reed so very much, it seemed natural to try a Nashville-flavored version. I bet heaven is a lot more fun since Jerry arrived.”

“I Come From Earth (Nashville Jam)” drops on October 7th.

[Music] Just A Mountain – Jenna Torres

Country singer-songwriter Jenna Torres issues the second single, “Just A Mountain,” from her upcoming album, the followup to 2021’s critically-acclaimed All Heart. The uplifting single explores how we deal with seemingly insurmountable obstacles like heartbreak, depression, and hard times. Jenna’s message: keep going.

“Every mountain looks huge from the bottom, but it gets smaller as you reach the top,” she says. “I know how challenging life can be — I’ve had some really rough times myself. I’ve learned you can’t let bad things be the end of you. This cannot be your last job, last boyfriend, last hurt, your last breath. These are just mountains, and each mountain asks us to put one foot in front of the other and climb.”

“Just A Mountain” hits that sweet spot between being an intimately reflective ballad and a rousing, you-can-do-it anthem. It features Jenna’s dynamically expressive vocals which span comforting soft tones to soaring emotionality. The track also boasts country fixings such as lyrical mandolin melodies, back-porch acoustic guitar, and delicate layers of rousing ethereal ambience.

The idea for the song started with a chorus Jenna had carried with her for a while — one about getting through painful everyday moments. She eventually finished the song, co-writing with songwriter and guitarist extraordinaire Brad Sample (Alice Cooper, Maggie Rose, Randy Houser). Torres laid down “Just A Mountain” at Forty-one Fifteen Studios in Nashville, working with Charlie Chamberlain, Irakli Gabriel, and an incredible lineup of Nashville-based musicians and friends.

The song’s accompanying poignant video features a stirring acting performance by prolific Nashville-based Americana singer-songwriter Rod Picott. Here, bleak scenes of Rod mired in depression are contrasted with images of breathtaking mountain top scenery, evocative footage of Jenna performing the song in a beautiful park setting, along with angelic appearances as she encourages him to keep holding on. In the end, darkness yields to light…

Jenna is an acclaimed singer-songwriter who has penned songs for Warner Music Group and Warner/Chappell Music, including the anthem “Proud” for the Weather Girls’ Martha Wash and co-writing the For King & Country hit “Busted Heart” (alongside Ben Glover), landing the song the Top 10 on the Billboard Christian Hot 100, AC, and CHR charts.

Munday Martin Releases 5th Single For Second Album As A Ska-Punk Tribute

Munday Martin has released “Fly” his fifth single for a series of singles which will appear on his 6 song EP release October 21 of this month!”

Munday Martin was recently promoted as the best up and coming artist in Nashville Tennessee by Nashville‘s biggest rock station recently, and without question is certainly making waves in the Christian and secular music industry with his retro rock vibe reminiscent of the 80s and 90s.

“Fly is a song I wrote about breaking and defying statistical explanations that the enemy puts on us. One thing that I have learned following Christ is even the sky is not the limit. We can truly move mountains with our faith. He wants us to dream far bigger than we allow ourselves to. I believe when it comes to following Christ’s words there is no try, there is only do. I know it sounds a little bit like Yoda! And no it’s not a sci-fi song like “The Fix Is In.” Fly is my beloved tribute to ska-punk. People who hear it will immediately be reminded of the likes of the “Supertones” and “Madness.”

What many people probably don’t know about me is I got saved after being touched by the Holy Spirit at a “Supertones” moshPit at the Cornerstone music festival in 1996. God used Christian ska punk to help open my eyes that he loved me in my punk days as an addict. Nobody who has been to Cornerstone would ever forget that experience put on by the Jesus People in Illinois. Munday would like to dedicate this song to the “Supertones” as a way to say thank you for laying your life down for the gospel and reaching me with music for Christ.

Producer John Mark Painter (Fleming and John, DC Talk, Grits, Steve Taylor and the Perfect Foil) on this song has outdone himself. I played and recorded the song on acoustic guitar and at first it sounded like a Buddy Holly song, but it became Buddy Holly meets Madness. I have already received feedback from fans that it’s one of my best releases! The melody will stick in your head forever!
