The Flatlanders release first disc in 12 years; Dasher debuts with EP
Friday, July 9, 2021 – The Flatlanders, the Texas-based trio of Butch Hancock, Joe Ely and Jimmie Dale Gilmore, released "Treasure of Love" via Rack 'Em Records / Thirty Tigers. The album marks their first collection of newly recorded music in more than 12 years and was completed during the COVID-19 lockdown with the assistance of multi-instrumentalist Lloyd Maines, who co-produced with Ely.
Hannah Dasher releases her five-song EP, "The Half Record," today. Dasher, a Georgia native, helped write four of the songs on the release. Dasher's first cut came from Brad Paisley on "Go To Bed Early," a co-write with Brent Anderson and Chris DuBois from his 2017 album "Love and War." Dasher, Lainey Wilson and Frank Romano co-wrote "LA" for Wilson's 2019 EP "Redneck Hollywood." Dasher also has attracted followers for her TikTok series on cooking, "Stand By Your Pan."
