Teddy Gentry, member of the country supergroup Alabama, is collaborating with Porter-Gentry Productions to help create a unique CD that provides country music fans with an inspired assortment of music.
 
"Teddy Gentry’s Best New Nashville" will be available exclusively at Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores starting May 16. The album includes 12 new songs performed by 12 new artists.
 
Gentry frequently works with up-and-coming artists both on stage and in the studio, and his advice in choosing a new song is to always make sure that there is an emotional connection. "I tell them that they really have to love a song because, if it’s a hit, they’ll be performing it for a very long time," said Gentry.
 
On the project, Gentry worked with some of Nashville’s top engineers and songwriters to ensure its high quality.
 
"Cracker Barrel is pleased to work with Teddy Gentry on this special project to provide a showcase for some very talented artists from whom we might well be hearing more in the future," said Chris Ciavarra, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Cracker Barrel. "These are artists who have worked hard and have honed their skills, and with this CD they are stepping up onto a larger stage."
