Kasey Tyndall will release her new album Bliss on Feb. 19.

Tyndall has previewed the project with her new single “White Picket Fence,” out now. The track was produced by longtime collaborator Derek Wells.

“The world is a crazy place sometimes, and when there’s just pure chaos, I know where to find my bliss,” explains Tyndall. “That’s how this album came together. Family, the outdoors, keeping my sourdough starter alive, friends, my music, Jesus – those are my bliss. I know my fans can relate to finding the things that keep them going, even in the heaviest times. I’ve always carved my own lane with my musical sound of meshing rock and country, but this album really defines what I’ve been trying to accomplish. I’m not trying to be something I’m not – I am a crunchy redneck mom who plays rock ‘n’ roll and grew up on Avril Lavigne, Alison Krauss, and Joan Jett. And that’s that.”

The country-rocker revealed news of her new album while opening for HARDY at Hardy Halloween on Oct. 29 in Nashville.

The announcement follows Tyndall’s recent track “Old Me Is Dying,” released Sept. 18. Earlier this year, she joined forces with multi-No. 1 Rock band Pop Evil on “Maybe You’re The One.”

Songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Park Chisolm has signed a global publishing deal with Sony Music Publishing Nashville, in partnership with River House Artists.

Chisolm has written songs for several major artists, including Lainey Wilson, Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton, Ashley McBryde, Aubrie Sellers and Jackson Dean. He also works on music for film and television. Chisolm contributed as a songwriter and guitarist to Wilson’s GRAMMY-winning album Bell Bottom Country. His other songwriting credits include Shelton’s “Bet You Still Think About Me,” Sellers’ “Far From Home” and Chesney’s “Top Down.”

Chisolm is also a longtime member and primary songwriter for Kevin Costner’s band Modern West. He co-produced the band’s last two albums, Famous For Killing Each Other, which features the theme song from Costner’s award-winning Hatfields & McCoys, and Tales From Yellowstone, which was featured in the hit series Yellowstone. Most recently, Chisolm wrote and recorded the theme for the History Channel mini-series The West. His other work has appeared on VH1, ESPN, PBS, History Channel and Paramount.

“I’m thrilled to be joining both the River House and Sony families,” says Chisolm. “River House is such an amazing and eclectic group of artists and songwriters, and they have a great track record of helping people find their creative voices and flourish. And Sony brings such an impressive history of music business success that seems to never slow down – it’s really the perfect pairing, and I can’t wait to dig in.”

“We’re incredibly excited to welcome Park Chisolm to the River House family,” shares River House Artists EVP Zebb Luster. “He brings so much creativity, intention, and heart to everything he does. Park has already made such huge waves in his career and we’re so grateful to have the opportunity to be in his corner and help build on what he’s already established.”

“Park is a tremendous talent whose passion for music comes through in everything he creates,” adds Sony Music Publishing Nashville CEO Rusty Gaston. “We are so impressed by everything he has built thus far and are incredibly excited to partner with River House in supporting this next chapter of his career.”

Compass Records is releasing an upcoming new Stanley Brothers tribute album, Where the Soul Never Dies, this Friday (Nov. 6.)

The album includes some stellar collaborations on songs from the bluegrass pioneers, including Billy Strings and Drew Emmitt on “If I Lose;” Jamey Johnson and Shawn Camp on “Rank Strangers to Me;” Dolly Parton and The First Ladies of Bluegrass (Alison Brown, Becky Buller, Sierra Hull, Missy Raines, Molly Tuttle) on “Bound to Ride;” Steve Martin and Ed Helms with Alison Brown on “Pardon Me, Stranger;” and Willie Nelson and Sierra Ferrell on “I’ll Fly Away,” among others.

Several of the album tracks were performed during the Stanley Brothers induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame on Oct. 18 at the Medallion Ceremony, where Strings honored the duo with “How Mountain Girls Can Love,” the First Ladies of Bluegrass performed “Bound to Ride,” and more.

Inducted into the Veterans Era Artist category, The Stanley Brothers Ralph and Carter Stanley pioneered the sound of modern day Bluegrass, taking inspiration from the Monroe Brothers, the Grand Ole Opry and the Carter Family. Carter, the main vocalist, wrote many bluegrass standards including “The White Dove” and “The Lonesome River,” while Ralph provided harmonies and top-tier banjo playing. Following Carter’s death in 1966, Ralph kept their band, the Clinch Mountain Boys, going for another 50 years.
