PRESS RELEASE

‘Thanks A Lot’ is the title of the new 13-track album from Robert Mizzell. It is also an expression of gratitude for the loyal support he receives. The inspiration for this exceptional album of country songs came from his fans. Combining lesser-known songs requested at his live shows, with songs already included in his programme, Robert is delivering exactly what the public want to hear.

This album is a rich collection of country numbers, many old and some new. It’s a combination that reflects Robert’s singing talent and ability, while recounting stories of his homeland and life’s experiences in simpler times. The album contains his two highly acclaimed hit singles ‘A Friend In Need’ and ‘Next To You Next To Me’, both of which proved hugely popular when released late in 2007 and earlier this year.

The title track ‘Thanks A Lot’ made famous by The Texas Troubadour, Earnest Tubb, has been given an impressive contemporary feel, which makes it sound brand new.

Classic tracks included on this C.D. are the Dolly Parton hit ‘9 to 5’, Folsom Prison Blues, The Race Is On, the Bill Anderson classic ‘Must You Throw Dirt In My Face’, ‘Rose of My Heart’, and ‘White Lightning’. The Merle Haggard / Bonnie Owens composition ‘Today I Started Loving You Again’, the type of story that plays out daily, also features Lorraine Mc Donald and was once popularised by George Jones,

‘It’s Gonna Rain’ and ‘Long Black Train’ are two modern tracks on the album. This is Robert’s fifth collection and should prove enormously popular. He is fast expanding his country horizons with his recordings receiving extensive airplay in Europe and Australia.  Robert was fortunate to have a number one in the ECMA chart this year.

2008 promises to be one of Robert’s most successful years.  Starting the year with the release of this recording, he then travels to the United States in April where he will lead his largest group so far, of fans and friends, on tour. Travelling through three American States, the group will visit Arkansas, Memphis, Nashville, Virginia and Gatlinburg on Robert’s ‘Walk The Line’ – Johnny Cash Tribute Tour. This trip is organised in association with Driftaway Travel and it sold out in record time. Watch out for other exciting tours and events this year and next year. Details will be made available through press releases, at Robert & The Country Kings shows and via his website www.robertmizzell.com All of Robert’s recordings can now be purchased on line through his website.

This year Robert will release his first DVD. At this time discussions are at an advanced stage regarding venue and recording dates. More details will be made available in due course.

In August 2008, Robert will appear at the Ulster Music Fest alongside one of his all time favourite country singers, the legendary George Jones.

Robert & The Country King will supply the entertainment in the Upper Deck, Crossmolina on Sunday 9^th March.
