PRESENTS:
THE ENGAGiNG SOUND OF NATASHA JAMES AND HER POIGNANT NEW SiNGLE MY COUNTRY HAS THE BLUES 
NOVEMBER 23, 2011 - Perhaps
it's the timing, given the challenging condition our economy is
currently in; then again, it could simply be the quality of the song
itself. Or maybe it's a little of each. Either way, the politically-
and socially-charged new single from Natasha James, "My
Country Has The Blues," (Highway One Records), released to national and
international radio to coincide with Independence Day, became the #1
Most Added Single to Radio shortly after its July 1
release. Adding to her already high profile in the
Country/Americana world,Music New Nashville profiled
James in a Cover Story ("Natasha James - An American Troubadour") this past June. At the
same time, James' critically-acclaimed, award-winning 2009 album,
"Tequila Time" has been at #1 on the respected Roots Music
Report Roots
Country Internet Chart for almost four months! Produced in
conjunction with Stephen Hart (White Stripes, Neville Brothers, John
Lee Hooker) at The Site Recording in Marin County,
engineered by Ronnie Rivera, and mastered by multiple Grammy winner
Dave Reitzas (Barbara Streisand, Barry Manilow) at Westlake Studios in
Los Angeles, "My
Country Has The Blues" is a timely anthem for what is happening all
around us in our country, a catchy tune with James' unique Americana
blend of country, blues, roots, and rock.

LUSH holds a BA in Creative Writing from the UNIVERSITY OF
NEW MEXICO. He established ROCKWIRED on New Years of 2004 and hasn't
looked back
since. He is currently the host of all of ROCKWIRED.COM's programming
which includes such shows as ROCKWIRED RADIO PROFILES and ROCKWIRED
FREE FORM RADIO. As
program producer for ROCKWiRED.COM, LUSH is hands-on when it
comes to
interviewing and building a lasting rapport with the artists that come
ROCKWiRED's
way. As a youngster, BRIAN LUSH had no idea what kind of seed was being
planted
by reading magazines such as HIT PARADE, HIGH TIMES, SPIN, REQUEST
(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE. "Those were the days before the
internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable." says LUSH "But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I'd be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I'm the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions."CONTACT
