KATHY BOYD & PHOENIX RISING GOSPEL CD COMING SOON
The members of Kathy Boyd & Phoenix Rising are pleased and proud to announce the March 2010 release date for their new gospel CD - Walk Humbly. In the tradition of the band, the new CD will feature all original songs written by various band members.
The first single off "Walk Humbly" was released digitally in November for international airplay, and even received a mention in USAToday. "Righteous Road" was written by the current Roots Music Association Bluegrass Songwriter of the Year, KBPR guitarist Dennis Nelson.
In December, the band digitally released the song "If We'd Known", written by mandolin/fiddle player Tim Crosby, and also offered it as a free download to the members of their fan club and networking sites as a thank you for their support.
Pre-sales of the new CD will begin January 1st via the bands website at www.phoenixrisingband.org.
