Chris Cagle goes to Korea for military
Cagle will perform at Army bases located in Seoul, Daegu, Dongducheon and Ppyeongtaek, Korea for the service men and women and their families beginning with the first show in Seoul on Friday, June 29.
"It's my understanding that their station in Korea is the revolving door to Iraq," Cagle said. "Their sacrifice is the most unselfish act of human kind and I'm really looking forward to meeting with them to thank them personally."
This is the first overseas visit to troops for Cagle. In addition to the shows, Cagele will visit the DMZ (Korean Demilitarized Zone) at the border of North and South Korea and interview with the Armed Forces Radio Network and AFN in Seoul.
This trip marks a break in Cagle's recording and performance schedule. In addition to the multi-city shows on his tour schedule, he has spent the last several weeks in the studio working on his fourth Capitol-Nashville recording project with veteran producer Scott Hendricks. He is responsible for Cagle's signing with Virgin Records to launch his country music career. A late fall CD release is anticipated.

CD reviews for Chris Cagle
After four years in the on deck circle, Chris Cagle has resurfaced with his aptly titled comeback album, "Back in the Saddle." His debut with Bigger Picture Music Group is aimed at putting him right back into the mainstream. He begins with the raucous radio friendly opener Got My Country On. Now a happily married father of three girls, domesticity provided inspiration for several of the tracks, namely the tender father-daughter ballad Dance Baby Dance, which he co-wrote with ...
If Chris Cagle's life actually was a country song, the first verse would be about a guy on top of the world - his first two albums went gold, "I Breathe in, I Breathe Out" was a number one single. But, of course, adversity comes knocking in verse two - multiple vocal problems, including a polyp and a lesion, stilled his singing for three months and forced him to bow out of a tour with Rascal Flatts; he lost a lawsuit against a former manager and had to pay $750,000, and his third ...
Chris Cagle is still trying to find that sense of purpose that served him so well on his debut CD "Play It Loud," and that seemed to elude his grasp on his self-titled sophomore release. Not to read too much of a personal statement into lyrics but on the title song and "When I Get There" (which is almost the same exact song), he admits he has no idea where he's going.
So using the scattershot approach, Cagle none-too-convincingly mines Montgomery Gentry territory with "You Might Want to Think ...
