OUR FIRST NUMBER ONE
For several days in 3rd & 4th week of May 2005, we were the number 1 most
downloaded mp3 on the Alt/Country chart on Amazon. We were also number 3 on
the Adult Contemporary Chart. Very cool. Thanks to all you
downloading fiends.
BROTHER HENRY SIGNS WITH DOUBLE DEAL RECORDS
We’ve been promising you some big news for months and here it is... Brother
Henry has signed on with Double Deal Brand Records out of NYC to help us
promote our music and further the Brother Henry campaign! We checked these guys
out thoroughly before we spit-shook hands, and we can assure you that there is
no hooded Dark Sith lurking in the closets of this record company. These fellas
are the JEDI KNIGHTS of Rock and Roll! Double Deal, run by the supremely
talented and cool Keith and Wayne Cross, is going to release the new "Live at
the Basement" album, "Come on, People" and in June our newly recorded studio
album "Chasing Happiness" that is sure to bring peace and order to the galaxy,
at the very least your stereos and I-pods.

A VISIT FROM CHUCK LEAVELL
For those of you who know Chuck
Leavell, your mouths are probably wide open. His resume is so long,
he'd have to clear off a tree farm to print it out. Chuck has played with The
Rolling Stones, Allman Brothers, The Black Crows, Blues Traveler, Eric Clapton,
George Harrison, Indigo Girls, John Hiatt... Chuck is a GA boy like all the
members of Brother Henry. It turns out Chuck was working on his own cd here in
Nashville, so we said, "Hey man." He came by and put his mojo on two songs,
"Chasing Happiness" and "Spaceman". Chuck is not only one of the best musicians
alive, he's a prince among men.
OUR FEARLESS MANAGER
We are very pleased to announce the latest member of the Brother Henry team,
Jeff Oliver, aka Da Ollie J. Jeff has taken on managerial duties for the band.
His charge is to take a bunch of dreamy musicians and turn this outfit into a
cracking business. One feature you need in a manager is the ability to complete
the task no matter the circumstance. This picture shows Jeff is fearless in the
face of danger and well qualified for Rock and Roll.
PHOTO SHOOT WITH BEN FOLDS
From time to time, David and I get asked to play strings on other artist's cds.
David has played on several of Ben's projects and we both got to play on his
upcoming release, Songs for Silverman. During recording sessions, Ben is
known to whip out an array of funky old cameras and start shooting. When it
came time for a photo shoot for Brother Henry we said, "Hey Man..." We met on a
cold morning behind one of Nashville's new coffee shops, The Frothy Monkey.
Between coffee runs to maintain body temperature, Ben got some great shots
which you will see in our upcoming studio release and press packages.
--Ned
