Jolene's Interviews
	Joe Diffie
		It’s easy to see why Joe's fans love him, both he and his band are entertainers! There was other entertainment too, two girls broke out in a ‘cat’ fight, right in the front row at Joe’s feet. As the police were hauling the girls away, Joe said, " I haven’t seen one of those since I quit playing bars." Welcome to the 3rd Rock from the Sun, Joe! This is a great interview. Other Artists The Dixie Chicks (Emily, Martie, and Natalie), new album will hit the stores this month. All together, the girls play 7 instruments & put on a heck of a show. The Kinleys, really are twins, their first song went top 10! Now they are nominated for a Grammy. Adrienne - Eclectic on Independent - Visit Website Jolene "Adrienne is creating a stir everywhere she appears in Nashville! At only 14, we are going to see and hear a lot more from her in the future!" This month's Recipe Ricky Lynn Gregg’s - Famous Beer & Bratwurst

	Jo Dee Messina
		Eddie Rabbitt - Beatin' the Odds on Intersound Records A great mixture of his classic hits, and new songs. Jolene "‘I’m There’ is my favorite!" Various Artists - Amazing Grace 2 on Sparrow Records Jolene "A Country Salute to Gospel is as good as it gets, with Bryan White, Kim Richey, Gary Chapman, Trace Adkins, John Berry, Bela Fleck, Charlie Daniels, Marty Raybon, Billy Ray Cyrus, The Cox Family, and Ricky Van Shelton! Awesome-Awesome-Get to the store!

	Toby Keith
		Laurie Lewis - Earth & Sky on Rounder Records Jolene "This is a great CD to follow up her ‘True Stories’." Mark Alan Sammons - Good As Gold - Independent - Visit Website Jolene "When Mercury Records received a copy of Mark's CD, they invited him to Nashville. Mark is currently performing in the Austin - San Antonio area."

	Bellamy Brothers
		Caryl Mack Parker - Caryl Mack Parker on Rounder Records Jolene "With songs like ‘One Night Stand’, Caryl Mack Parker, has proven she has a great voice, and delivers her songs with a passion. This is an album that appeals to all ages." Sylvia - The Real Story on her own Red Pony label - Website Jolene "Sylvia is back with a bang! First she released ‘The Real Story’ on her own Red Pony label, now Renaissance Records released her anthology on September 17th. It includes 24 songs. All of her singles, some album tracks she wanted as singles, and 5 songs from her last RCA album, produced by Brent Maher, that were never released.

	Amazing Rhythm Aces
		For years we’ve been asking, "Where are they?" then "Out of The Blue" they’re back! Like many other artists, they have recorded their latest album on their own without a major record label. Russell Smith, the lead singer and primary songwriter laughs and says, "Maybe this time the band will end up with some of the money! The Thompson Brothers Band (RCA), bare feet must be the ‘in’ thing! Maybe singing with shoes on is restraining some artists’ creativity!

	Cledus T Judd & James T. Horn
		Cletus T. Judd - a one man riot! Nominated twice as the Funniest Country Performer by the readers of Country Weekly, Cledus T. Judd is a man with a creative flair! According to Cledus, "One record executive told me that my parodies were brilliant but I sang off pitch! Hell, I wouldn’t be funny if I could sing!" James T. Horn - a visit with Curb/Universal’s hottest new talent Geronimo … here he goes! James T. Horn, on Curb/Universal, stopped by to eat and play us his first release. Like Cledus, he’s losing weight too! But he’s losing it to look good in his video! Noel Haggard - (Atlantic Records) took me over to visit with his Dad, Merle Haggard. I told Merle he had left his son some mighty big shoes to fill, but he says, "the kid will do just fine, we not only wear the same size shoes but shirt too!" Merle Haggard - Merle had a joke for us all! "I used to have a dog named Tax" said Merle. "I’d put him outside, but every time I opened the door … In come Tax (Income Tax!)" That’s Merle! We all wish you well.

	Paul Overstreet
		Ever hear the old saying "Still waters run deep?" If you ever get the chance to sit and talk with Paul Overstreet, you’ll know what they meant! As we sat and chatted about kids, dogs, and life back in Mississippi, it was hard to believe I was talking to a Grammy winner!

	Perfect Stranger
		Perfect Stranger . . . . I can tell all you guys and gals, they are about the most PERFECT Stranger(s) I’ve ever met! These boys are "down home" to the T-bone! "T" for Texas, that is! The group includes Steve Murray, lead singer, Richard Raines, lead guitar, Shayne Morrison, bass, and Andy Ginn, on drums. Jim Wise, on Critique/BMG Records, stopped by to bring me a copy of his new single coming out this summer, "She Wants To Drive My Truck".

	MC Potts
		Since Critique Records released her first album, "Straight To You", MC Potts has been a very busy lady. In 1996, she won the Internet Hank Award for "Best New Female Newcomer".
