Donning the proper cowboy hat in the Mid-West isn't always the way to rock. Butch Heath did not care one bit. Stories, feelings, songs, the old fashioned way, Heath had his share of attempts with rockabilly and a touch of Rock Around The Clock. But it was the singers, songs, and songwriting that told the old tales like no one else could that pulled Heath into his own time zone as a master country artist. For the first time, we get to share HIS story. Here in part 2 of 2, we get to hear about the man under the hat, where his heart is at with country music today, the secrets of rythym guitarists, and his dual band, one in Michigan and one in Florida.

  Dig into the wrap up here with Country Legend Butch Heath.

Deborah Allen, an extraordinarily talented singer, songwriter, performer and producer, is one of those rare artists who forged her
own path to success, building a world-class career in the process. Deborah's signature smash, "Baby I Lied" broke all barriers and
confirmed the idea that an artist could have success in several formats with the same song, Country, Pop and Adult Contemporary,
resulting in two Grammy nominations for the Delta-songstress. The true measure of Deborah's influence in contemporary music is
underscored by the hit singer's diverse radio success. Songs like, "I've Been Wrong Before" "I Hurt For You" "Rock Me" "If You?re Not
Gonna Love Me" "Wrong Side Of Love" and "Break These Chains" are just a few of the singles that made their way up the billboard
charts during her career. With more than 2000 compositions written and published, Deborah's songs have been recorded by such
notable artists as LeAnn Rimes, Brooks & Dunn, Patty Loveless, Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, Tanya Tucker, Janie Frickie,
John Conlee, Vern Gosdin, Joe Nichols, Isaac Hayes, Millie Jackson, Diana Ross, Sheena East on, Fleet wood Mac and many
more. Additionally, her songs have been featured on several major motion picture soundtracks, such as Coyote Ugly, River Rat,
Clinton and Nadine, as well as River Phoenix's final film, "The Thing Called Love". Throughout her phenomenal journey of hits and
accomplishments Deborah Allen's success has earned her Legendary status by remaining true to her artistic vision. From her
discovery by Roy Orbison, to her friendship with her song writing mentor, Shel Silverstein, as well as her work with George Jones
and Prince, Deborah creates art on her own terms. Expanding her talents into radio, TV and film, the dynamic artist from Memphis
keeps her sights set on new horizons continuing to tour and amaze audiences around the world.

When your mom is country legend Lacosta Tucker and your Aunt is Tanya Tucker, there is a good chance you are going to have an amazing voice. The beauty of Cali Tucker is, she is her own woman. She combines her family roots with her own experimentation and discovery to create her own unique sound.

This was a fascinating interview with Cali and we focused on her new album plus she sang for us. We also told her that she needs to cover Juice Newton's "Break It To Me Gently". Will she do it? Don't know but we do know that when her new record comes out, it will blow you away.
