Mandy Barnett Revisits Country Classics On Upcoming New Album

/by


Mandy Barnett is releasing a collection of iconic country and pop standards on her upcoming album, A Nashville Songbook, set for release Aug. 21 on Melody Place.

The project features songs that made Music City famous inspired by Barnett’s popular concert series and produced by Fred Mollin (Jimmy Webb, Johnny Mathis, and Kris Kristofferson), and includes tunes recorded by legendary artists like Ray Price, Roy Orbison, Tammy Wynette and George Jones, Elvis Presley, Hank Williams, Anne Murray, Hank Snow, and Brenda Lee, among others.

To give fans a taste of the brand new project, which is being distributed by BMG, Barnett has already released “End of the World,” and “Help Me Make It Through The Night” from A Nashville Songbook.

“I can tell you one thing – people still want to hear these songs,” said Barnett of the response from fans to the music. “Many of the artists who originally recorded them have passed on, so it’s important to keep these country and pop standards alive. I’m proud to be a modern torchbearer.”
