The Goldens New Three-Volume Collection, ‘Golden Classics’ consists of ‘Old Country Church,’ ‘Country Roads,’ and ‘Southern Accents’

Country and Gospel Music Hall of Fame and Grand Ole Opry member William Lee Golden and his sons ‘The Goldens’ release their latest music video for the Hank Williams classic, “I Saw The Light” from their three-album set, ‘Golden Classics.’ Paying homage to the songs that have influenced their lives throughout the years, The Goldens chose to showcase “I Saw The Light” as a perfect way to bring in the new year. “I Saw The Light” can be found on their ‘Country Roads’ country album included in ‘Golden Classics’ along with ‘Old Country Church’ and ‘Southern Accents.’ ‘Golden Classics’ is the highly anticipated three-volume set that contains over 30 songs spread across several genres that all have had an impact on the lives and careers of William Lee Golden and The Goldens.

“When we went into the studio to record these songs, we couldn’t settle on just one album,” shares William Lee Golden. “There were simply too many to choose from, so we recorded three albums. We brought in cameras to capture the experience and I am so glad that we did. This has been a wonderful experience to share with my sons and I hope you are enjoying it as well!”

‘Southern Accents,’ ‘Country Roads’ and ‘Old Country Church’ were recorded when Golden gathered his sons Rusty, Craig, and Chris, his grandchildren Elizabeth, Rebekah, and Elijah, and friends Aaron McCune, and Ben Isaacs to bring their fresh interpretations to longtime favorites. William Lee Golden and The Goldens deliver reminiscent renditions of Johnny Cash’s “I Still Miss Someone,” and Jim Reeves’s “Welcome to My World.” Chris shines on Tom Petty’s “Southern Accents,” while Rusty delivers a vibrant take on Bob Seger’s hit “Hollywood Nights” and Craig, the rarely heard Golden, revives Gregg Allman’s “Multi-Colored Lady.”

William Lee Golden and The Goldens have recently released other videos including “If I Could Only Hear My Mother Pray Again,” “Bobbie Sue,” “Old Country Church,” and “The Long And Winding Road.”

Thoughtful producer Six Missing will be releasing his latest EP Intention II on the 9th of December via Sea Level Sounds. On the project, listeners are urged to discover the gentle record ‘Peaceful One’ that premiered on Sonofmarketing. The EP follows the release of his soothing single ‘Loving Kindness’, which garnered attention from well-known tastemaker magazines CLASH Magazine and Orb Mag. With 1.5 million streams across platforms, the musician has previously earned publication support from Stack/Bounce Chord and Tome To The Weather Machine, while his music has been aired on KEXP’s Pacific Notions Show and featured on chill-out music YouTube channels Ambient and Cosmic Soundwaves.

Six Missing discusses the idea behind the EP: “‘Intention II’ is a follow-up EP to ‘Intention’, which I released on New Year’s Day 2022. I loved the idea of sharing music intended for those wishing to sit and set clear intentions, versus resolutions, for the year ahead. I wanted to be able to give the listener a soundtrack for their meditation, a gentle place to exist while going inward. As with ‘Intention’, the track names are suggestions for words to meditate on.”

Intent on presenting a project with a definite purpose, Six Missing has crafted his latest EP in the hope that it will help calm the monkey mind. Like walking through a lush green meadow, Intention II captivates us with stunning details, sun-kissed chords and chirping bird song, easing us into a sense of wholeness. Caught in the moment, we can’t help but breathe it all in.

Six Missing is the studio project of the award-winning sound designer and composer TJ Dumser, who helped score, design, and engineer the audio for numerous film shorts and series, including Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Avatar: The Legend of Korra, Witchcraft Motion Picture Company Presents Horror Anthology: Volume 1, and For Hemingway to name a few. His cinematic soundscapes lend themselves to film, TV, and activities where words fail to capture meaning. He finds inspiration in the work of notable creatives such as Harold Budd, Tangerine Dream and Fleet Foxes, while his own work can be likened to that of Nils Frahm, Brian Eno, Olafur Arnalds.

Originating from New York City, New York, TJ Dumser was born musical. As a toddler, he thrived on performing for his family, and as his love for music grew, so did his ability: TJ first learned to play the piano, then the guitar. Currently based in Austin, Texas, USA, TJ combines his obsession for sound with his love of meditation, releasing a soothing blend of lush ambient textures under the Six Missing moniker.

Tanya Tucker Stars in Her First Original Movie as the Two-time GRAMMY® Winner Makes Her Acting Debut

Entertainment icon Tanya Tucker stars in her first original movie, “A Nashville Country Christmas,” this holiday season as the two-time GRAMMY® winner makes her acting debut in a lead role on Dec. 12 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Paramount Network, as well as an additional encore presentation on Christmas Day, Sunday, Dec. 25 at 11 a.m. ET/PT on CMT.

Click HERE to watch the trailer for “A Nashville Country Christmas.”

The day after the premiere, “A Nashville Country Christmas” will be available on ParamountNetwork.com, the Paramount Network App, Paramount Network VOD and additional platforms, including Amazon, Vudu, etc.

Overwhelmed by her high-powered agent, a bombastic Hollywood director, and a totally tricked-out, off-base holiday spectacular, Tanya portrays a country music superstar (Josie Carson) as she bolts from her outrageous lifestyle, seeking a haven at her grandma’s Tennessee farm outside of Nashville. Rather than refuge, she finds romance when she reconnects with her handsome ex (Academy Award® winner Keith Carradine), returns to her musical roots, and an unexpected family when she discovers three clever kids who’ve outsmarted the foster care system are living at the family homestead at Christmas.

“It’s amazing that after 50 years in this business, I get to see my dreams become reality! And being part of ‘A Nashville Country Christmas’ is definitely one of them. I’ve always wanted to do more acting, and it was a gift from the good Lord when this role came along. I can’t wait for everyone to enjoy the movie this season,” Tanya shared.

George Strait’s 12th annual Vaqueros del Mar golf tournament and benefit concert, hosted at Tapatio Springs Hill Country Resort together with longtime friend and Texas businessman Tom Cusick, raised a record-setting $2.4 million for the Feherty’s Troops First Foundation, bringing the all-time total to over $17 million.

“After George and I acquired Tapatio, we had our Grand Re-Opening on 11-11-11, which was Veterans Day,” notes Cusick. “We decided holding an event for our military heroes was perfect and then we met David Feherty with Troops First, and the rest is history. I believe we both would agree that this has been one of the most fulfilling experiences we have been involved in, and have grown so close to so many that have sacrificed for our country and all of us!”

In keeping with annual tradition, the event featured a golf tournament as well as a benefit concert, with performances by Strait along with Asleep at the Wheel, William Beckman, Wade Bowen, Dean Dillon, Keith Gattis, Randy Houser, Jamey Johnson and Randy Rogers.

The funds raised directly benefit wounded military service men and women. Learn more about the cause at www.troopsfirstfoundation.org.
