Jamie O'Neal sets new single

Monday, May 18, 2009 – Jamie O'Neal will release Soldier Comin' Home to country radio on Monday, June 8. The new single, penned by O'Neal, Roxie Dean and Patricia Ann Murphy and produced by husband Rodney Good (Phil Vassar, Joe Nichols, Shooter Jennings, Waylon Jennings), is a soulful in which a chance encounter with a military couple in an airport reminds the listener to appreciate their loved one.

"In this unpredictable life, you never know what's going to happen," said O'Neal, "so grab the one you love, and hold on tight. That's what Soldier Comin' Home means to me."

O'Neal is headlining her own tour this summer. Her new album from 1720 Entertainment is scheduled for release later this summer.

The fiddle and drum-powered country rocker is a showcase for her breathy, in-your-face vocals. She follows with "Na+ve," a mid-tempo, '80s-style pop tune, "Somebody's Hero," a heartfelt ...
Australian-born and a veteran of the road with her family's band The Murphys, Jamie O'Neal has also done time singing backup for Kylie Minogue and writting songs for Chely Wright, Clay Davidson and Tammy Cochran. Her own voice has taken a while to be heard, but with this debut CD, her sultry, soulful vocals are now front and center. Dolly Parton's '70's era pop-country is a natural reference to O'Neal's music, and she even reveals a bit of a Dolly-esque warble on songs like "Frantic. ...
