 "First-Round"
Grammy Nominee Susan Hickman Hits Texas Market With "Whipping
Post" Today
NEW SINGLE DIGITALLY DELIVERED VIA CDTex & AirPlay Direct
Nashville, TN (October 19, 2009) - "First-Round" Grammy
nominee Susan Hickman hits the Texas market hard today with her latest
single, the Allman Brothers' classic "Whipping Post."
The track will be digitally delivered by CDTex and AirPlay Direct, and
radio programmers can download the single directly from www.cdtex.com
or www.airplaydirect.com/susanhickman. The 24-year old
beauty from Houston nails her own niche with a blend of rockin',
soulful country that hints at influences ranging from Janis Joplin to
Miranda Lambert. "I love this song," says
Hickman. "To me, it's the epitome of the Southern Rock era
meeting today's country/rock sound square on." Dueling
guitars swap licks with Hickman's edgy vocal, bringing a near-frenzy of
"live" sound to a soul-searing four minutes of gritty
reality.
The track was produced by veteran Doug Deforest (Todd Fritsch, Doug
Spartz, Jonathan Edwards), and members of the super-hot The Cuttin'
Crew ( Tim Crouch-Acoustic Guitar/Fiddle; Mike
Kennedy-Drums/Percussion; Robby Springfield-Electric & Steel
Guitars; R.P. Harrell-Piano & B-3) hammered home the notes - and
the vibe.
Hickman releases "Whipping Post" in the wake of
six nods in the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards Nominating Ballot
for: Album of the Year (SUSAN HICKMAN), SONG OF THE YEAR (for
"Wrapped Up In Me" - goes to writers Clayton, James, Monroe)
and BEST NEW ARTIST. Additional first-round nominations
include: Best Country Female Vocal Performance, Best Country Song
("Wrapped Up in Me") and Best Country Album (SUSAN HICKMAN).
The nominated CD was regionally released in February of this
year.
Susan has shared the stage with high-profile acts like Tracy Byrd, Jo
Dee Messina, Kevin Fowler, Steve Holy, The Lost Trailers, Phil Vassar
and Gretchen Wilson, to name a few.
