The second in the series of re-released Michelle Wright master recordings
drops on February 16

BFD / Audium Nashville will drop Do Right By Me, the second in the series of re-released master recordings from Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame icon Michelle Wright on February 16, 2024. Wright says of the project, originally released on Canada’s Savannah Records imprint, “Do Right By Me was my first album. Little did I know that this album would pave the way to a record deal with Arista/Nashville. It changed my life and started me on a journey that has taken me around the world and made all my dreams come true.”

Two additional projects will be announced at a later date leading up to the final release in the series. The award-winning A Wright Christmas, with three newly recorded songs added to the original 12-track compilation, will be available in time for the 2024 holiday season.

Michelle is back on the Great Canadian Road Trip tour with acclaimed Canadian country artists Doc Walker and Jason McCoy. This leg of the tour makes stops in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.

About Michelle Wright

Like so many country artists, Michelle Wright cut her teeth playing six nights a week in clubs throughout Canada. Arista/Nashville made Michelle one of its flagship artists, and in 1990, they released her first U.S. album, Michelle Wright. American audiences enthusiastically responded to “that girl singer from up north with the snow in her videos.” Her first single, “New Kind Of Love,” became her first top thirty American hit. Her second Arista release, Now & Then, produced a total of six singles, including “One Time Around,” “Guitar Talk,” “He Would Be Sixteen,” and the song that changed everything, “Take It Like A Man.” After the latter was released in February 1992, Michelle became the first Canadian‐born artist in the modern era of country music to have a Top Ten hit in America, to secure a number one video on CMT‐USA (also for “Take It Like A Man”) as well as win a major US Award, the Academy of Country Music’s Top New Female Vocalist award. The song also catapulted Michelle to superstardom, receiving a total of twelve music industry awards, including the 1993 Canadian Country Music Association’s Fans’ Choice Entertainer of The Year Award and double platinum honors for Now & Then the same year.

The career that followed is one that many artists dream of having. Twelve album releases, including her 2022 release Milestone, have sold millions of copies and produced twenty‐five Top Ten radio hits. Michelle enjoys an international career and has garnered forty major awards, including 16 CCMA Awards and her 2011 induction into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame.
