Equity Music Group folds
The decision was made after "many hours of discussions with investors who have been hit hard by the economic crisis," according to a press release from the label.
"Our investors tried to find a way to keep the doors open at Equity, but with a struggling industry, an overall decline in discretionary spending by consumers and a total freeze on credit markets, the Board of Directors has been forced to make this difficult decision," said label President Tim Wipperman. "We want to wish our wonderful staff and artists all the best in all their future endeavors."
Wipperman will remain with the company. The company's artist roster includes Black, Laura Bryna, Carolina Rain, Kevin Fowler and new artist Blake Wise.
The label had included Little Big Town, which split to go with Capitol Nashville, and Mark Wills.

Clint Black must sometimes feel like an alien fallen to earth when comparing his music -- such as the many fine new songs found on his latest "On Purpose" album - with what's in vogue on the mainstream country charts. Rather than partying till he pukes, as so many of his younger brethren are doing these days, Black oftentimes waxes philosophical. "Not everything's gonna go my way," he admits during the sometimes funny reflections found in "Better and Worse. ...
This is a four-song teaser from Clint Black, including a few covers of chestnuts.
