NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Country singer and native Texan Sammy Sadler will release his highly anticipated new album 1989, on June 11 by BFD/Audium Nashville (orcd.co/sammysadler1989). The new collection of songs accentuates the sounds of a time when Sadler was first making his debut as a critically-acclaimed newcomer to Nashville, until an assassination plot commonly referred to as the "Murder On Music Row" brought his music career to a halt.
"It is such an honor to re-record some of the most memorable and greatest songs from an era which I think was one of the best ever," Sammy said. "To have some of the original artists on this record with me is both humbling, and an honor."
Sadler teamed up with several iconic country music hit makers from the late eighties on 1989, most notably a duet with Shenandoah's Marty Raybon for a fresh take of the upbeat "The Church On Cumberland Road," which exclusively premiered by Country Rebel (click to watch) in April.
"Again, 'The Church On Cumberland Road' makes another trip around the block," said Marty Raybon. "It's full of excitement and fun with my friend Sammy Sadler. It was an honor to be part of his new project. It is a give ear to, and turn it up."
Sammy also duets with country soul hit maker T. Graham Brown for a revitalized re-recording of "Darlene," a song which spent 21 weeks on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, reaching the #1 spot on November 4, 1988.
Sadler also recruited Larry Stewart of Restless Heart to re-record another notable track on the album, "The Bluest Eyes In Texas." Another song which reached #1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, Sadler and Stewart give the ballad a healthy reboot which will please the ears of country music fans everywhere.
"Thank you Marty, Larry, and T. Graham for your talent and contribution to Country Music," Sadler continued. "Much love to you all!"
