\"Cracker<\/em><\/span>Lebanon, TN<\/strong> – Teddy Gentry has long been celebrated as a member of the country supergroup Alabama, and he is also the force and inspiration behind multiple other music successes in Nashville. Now, Gentry, and Porter-Gentry Productions, are lending a guiding hand to a very special CD that provides country music fans with an inspired assortment of new music, among which many a new favorite might be found. The CD, Teddy Gentry\u2019s Best New Nashville, produced by Gentry, includes 12 new songs performed by 12 new artists and will be available exclusively at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store\u00ae, starting May 16th.<\/p>\n

Each pairing of song and artist on this CD was carefully considered and planned by Gentry, who collects songs the way some people collect stamps. Gentry regularly works with up-and-coming artists on stage and in the studio, and his advice in choosing a new song is to always make sure that there is an emotional connection. \u201cI tell them that they really have to love a song because, if it\u2019s a hit, they\u2019ll be performing it for a very long time,\u201d said Gentry, who knows a lot about hits, having written and performed quite a number of them as a member of the renowned group Alabama.<\/p>\n

Gentry also knows about talent, and he regularly works with what he considers to be the best of the new artists to help them learn the ins and outs of the Nashville scene. He says this is his way of giving back because he knows from his own early experiences how hard it is to make it in this very tough business. And Gentry believes that making his new CD, Teddy Gentry\u2019s Best New Nashville, available through Cracker Barrel, provides some fresh new sounds and some quality tunes for Cracker Barrel\u2019s guests. He worked with some of Nashville\u2019s top engineers, studios, and songwriters to ensure the quality of the CD.<\/p>\n

\u201cCracker Barrel is pleased to work with Teddy Gentry on this special project to provide a showcase for some very talented artists from whom we might well be hearing more in the future,\u201d said Chris Ciavarra, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Cracker Barrel. \u201cThese are artists who have worked hard and have honed their skills, and with this CD they are stepping up onto a larger stage,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
