GMV Nashville Sets It’s Sights On World Wide Digital Distribution

(Nashville, TN) GMV Nashville, a division of Internet marketing company AristoWorks, announced the worldwide digital release of albums by Don King, Terri Hollowell, Lori Parker and the late Dale McBride. These releases are made available through a network of online outlets including: iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, Napster, Music Net, e-Music and Sony Connect.

The material, originally released in the late 1970s on Con Brio Records, includes several nationally charted singles from that time period. During the mid to late 1970s, Con Brio Records was active on the country record scene and was named Billboard magazine’s “Best New Country Label of The Year” in 1977.

According to GMV spokesman Matt Watkins, “With the advancement of digital media technology and digital distribution growing so rapidly, GMV couldn’t resist the opportunity to reissue some of its best material. We are so excited to reintroduce these timeless albums for today’s generation to enjoy.”

The albums released to date are: The Dale McBride Collection; Dale McBride’s Takin’ A Long Look; The Don King Collection, Volume 1 & 2; Don King’s Thanks To You; The Terri Hollowell Collection; Terri Hollowell’s Stay With Me and Lori Parker’s Just Steppin’ Out.

Don King moved to Nashville from Omaha, Nebraska in the mid 70s. In 1976, he signed with Con Brio Records and yielded several nationally charted singles including, “I’ve Got You (To Come Home To),” “The Feeling’s So Right Tonight,” and “She’s The Girl of My Dreams.”

Terri Hollowell, a native of Jeffersonville, Indiana, signed with Con Brio in 1978. She scored five nationally charted singles on the label including the haunting “May I (See You Again),” “It’s Too Soon To Say Goodbye,” and her widely acclaimed country cover version of the Beatles “Strawberry Fields Forever.”

Lori Parker was born in Williamson, West Virginia where she became a self-taught guitarist and songwriter. In 1976, she signed with Con Brio Records. During that tenure, she had three single releases and songs cut by label mates Don King and Terri Hollowell.

Dale McBride hailed from Lampass, Texas. He was a fixture on the Texas music scene in the 70s. McBride’s Con Brio single “Ordinary Man” bulleted onto the national chart and was quickly followed by such memorable songs as “Savin’ Up Sunshine” and “Always Lovin’ Her Man.”

All albums were produced and arranged by Bill Walker. Walker is well known for his role as musical director of the Johnny Cash television show (1969-1971), the Statler Brothers show on TNN (Nashville Network) and the CMA Awards from the 70’s through the early 90’s.

AristoMedia’s Jeff Walker was the Executive Producer of the digital albums, Digital authoring was implemented by AristoWorks director Jon Walker, and Jim Gilmore of Audio Productions handled the mastering of the project.

In conjunction with the release of the albums GMV Nashville has established a website, gmvnashville.com, which provides artist biographies, album information, and track listings.
