Friday, February 12, 2016 – A quartet of veteran acts are out with new CDs today.

Vince Gill released "Down To My Last Habit," which combines hard country, soulful sounds, blues and romantic country ballads. Gill co-produced the set with Justin Niebank. Little Big Town and Cam help Gill out on the disc as did trumpet player Chris Botti.

Joey + Rory put out a religious disc, "Hymns That Are Important to Us." The disc was recorded last summer amidst Joey Feek's continuing battle against cancer.

Wynonna & the Big Noise are out with a self-titled disc. Derek Trucks, Jason Isbell, Susan Tedeschi and Timothy B Schmit are among the guests on the 12-song release. Judd and band offer a rootsy work encompassing country, Americana, blues, soul and rock.

Lorrie Morgan releases "Letting Go...Slow." This is her first solo disc since 2010's "I Walk Alone" a duo disc with Pam Tillis,"Dos Divas" in 2013. The disc features 12 tracks produced by Richard Landis.
