Ronnie Booth Releases Third Volume of "A Gospel Tribute To The King"

HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. (Dec. 2, 2014) – Following the success of the first two projects in the series, Ronnie Booth releases “A Tribute to the King, Volume 3” today. The 10-song, Daywind project is the third in a series that includes the gospel songs of Elvis Presley, as performed by Booth.

Booth is the lead singer of award-winning trio, the Booth Brothers. He has won the last six Singing News Fan Awards for favorite lead singer and the last four Singing News Fan Awards for favorite male singer.

Gary Prim has produced all three of the “A Tribute to the King” projects. The first in the series was released in 2008 and included “He Touched Me” and “Peace in the Valley,” while the second volume was a 12-song collection that contained “A Thing Called Love” and “If the Lord Wasn’t Walking By My Side.”

“I think Ronnie did a fantastic job with his take on the old Elvis gospel arrangements,” emphasizes Prim. “He gets the essence and heart of the sound without being a sound-alike. It is always a pleasure to work with Ronnie Booth.”

Volume three includes classics such as “Without Him,” “Where Could I Go But to the Lord,” “Amazing Grace,” “Take My Hand Precious Lord,” and “If We Never Meet Again.”

“Elvis Presley was one of the most beloved individuals in history, and his music continues to be enjoyed by countless numbers of individuals,” says Daywind president Ed Leonard. “Ronnie once again has tastefully placed his vocal stylings on some of those classic hits that are immediately recognizable. This project is certainly first class.”

Daywind projects are distributed to retail through New Day Christian Distributors, Select-O-Hits, and all major digital outlets, including iTunes. For more information, visit www.daywindrecords.com or contact Amanda Martin at publicity@daywind.com.

ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS HONOR GORDON MOTE WITH 2011 ACM AWARD



(Nashville, Tennessee) - The musical genius of Gordon Mote was honored with the 2011 Academy of Country Music's Piano/Keyboard Player of the Year Award at the recent annual ACM Honors ceremony held at Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium. Gordon, a seven-time nominee, was also honored with the coveted award in 2009.

Long recognized by the industry as one of Nashville's most talented studio musicians who seemingly knows no limits in effortlessly crossing musical styles and genres, Mote's talents can be heard on the recordings of some of the nation's premier performers, including Bill & Gloria Gaither and the Homecoming Friends, Billy Ray Cyrus, Blake Shelton, Scotty McCreery, Elvis Presley, The Hoppers, Brad Paisley, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, George Jones, The Isaacs, Josh Turner, Alan Jackson, Keith Urban, Luke Bryan, Jason Crabb, Martina McBride, Reba McEntire, Rascal Flatts and Alison Krauss, just to name a few.

Since releasing his debut Southern Gospel recording in 2004, the talented singer and musician has enjoyed much success, including numerous Top 40 hits in multiple music genres and numerous Fan Award nominations. Mote's video release, "The Best of Gordon Mote," made its debut at Number 7 on the Billboard Music Video Chart in 2008. Mote's travels on tour are global - include stops in the US, Canada and Europe. He is a featured artist on the stage sharing his vocal and keyboard performances with music legend Bill Gaither and his Grammy Award winning Gaither Vocal Band and the Homecoming Friends.

The 5th Annual ACM HONORS represents an evening of musical tribute performances and special presentations celebrating the special honorees and non-televised category winners from the 46th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards, held earlier this year.

Fresh from his success at the ACM's presentation, Gordon had just enough time to place his latest trophy on the mantle before being called to more awards duties - this time to emceeing the Singing News Fan Awards / SGMA Hall of Fame Induction at Dollywood with Co-Host Gerald Wolfe of Greater Vision. Gordon delighted the Pigeon Forge crowd with his quick wit and humor-providing a show stopping moment when he settled down behind the keyboard for an impromptu piano duet with Gerald Wolfe
