WHAT:   Will announce the launch of "YOUR COUNTRY YOUR VOTE"
       (http://www.yourcountryyourvote.org), a grass-roots
        get-out-the-vote initiative conceived and organized

        CD, "America Will Always Stand."  Artists will perform
        acoustic renditions of their songs and participate in

        significance, musical inspiration and personal sense
        of patriotism.

MORE:  "America Will Always Stand," the first TimeLife Music
        CD release comprised of all new original material,
        is inspired by the Civil War and was conceived by noted
        Civil War historian, writer and director Ronald F.
        Maxwell ("Gods & Generals," "Gettysburg"). The songs
        were produced by Michael Curtis, with most of the tracks
        written by Curtis and his writing partner Michael Pyle.
        Tony Loiacono served as Executive Producer.  "America
        Will Always Stand" embraces the sound of country music,
        with an emphasis on acoustic textures, intimate vocals and
        melodies that stir strong currents of emotion.  Each track
        also touches on something deep in our national character.
        Though the songs are about the Civil War, a time when our
        nation was deeply divided, many of the CD's sentiments ring
        true today, 140 years later.  Artists included on the CD and
       "YOUR COUNTRY YOUR VOTE" are: Randy Travis, Darryl Worley,
        Lee Ann Womack, Ricky Skaggs, Blake Shelton, The Whites,
        Collin Raye, Daron Norwood, Josh Turner, The Wilsons, Billy
        Dean, Marty Raybon, Olivia Maxwell and The Michaels.
