Show Dog-Universal Music recording artist Joe Nichols opened 2010 just like he spent and closed 2009-with a lot of great stuff on his plate. His new single,”Gimmie That Girl,” is already a Top 30 hit and his clip file is packed with glowing reviews of his latest CD, Old Things New. The Brent Rowan-Mark Wright produced CD was one of the most critically acclaimed releases of Joe’s career, with a number of “one of the year’s best country albums” references throughout the stack of reviews.
In addition to all of the glowing reviews and hit singles, Joe also found time to travel to the Middle East to perform for the troops stationed in Iraq and Kuwait. While there, he recorded “Joe Nichols: My Military Diary,”a travel documentary of his journey, which premiered on GAC TV in November and rebroadcast throughout the holiday season. By all measures, the show was a big hit for the network.
Following his June trip overseas, Joe received two more invitations: to perform at the ACM Honors concert in Nashville and the Missing Peace Concert in Memphis. The first concert honored Merle Haggard and allowed Joe to perform “Okie From Muskogee,” while the Memphis performance was attended by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Joe performed “Believers,” the lead single from Old Things New.
Another track from the CD generated not only a lot of buzz, but a website dedicated to helping those struggling with addiction and recovery. The song “An Old Friend Of Mine,” has been singled out by critics time and again as one of the most significant songs on an already highly praised and significant recording.
Following a few weeks off the road, Joe will hit the concert trail heavily in 2010. To keep locked in on concert dates and news, please visit www.joenichols.com.
