SINGER, SONGWRITER AND RADIO PERSONALITY DALLAS WAYNE RELEASES NEW ALBUM, SONGS THE JUKEBOX TAUGHT ME: VOLUME 2
New Dallas Wayne Album Pays Tribute to Songwriting Heroes and Legends
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 22, 2018) – Country music artist and SiriusXM personality Dallas Wayne has released his latest album, Songs The Jukebox Taught Me: Volume 2 on Heart of Texas Records. The album is available on iTunes, Amazon Music and Spotify. Songs from the album are already in rotation on SiriusXM’s Willie’s Roadhouse and Outlaw Country channels. Several track-by-track videos for the album were exclusively premiered by Now Playing Nashville, Taste of Country, Celeb Secrets Country, The Country Note and Music Update Central.
“These songs represent just a few of my favorites, barely scratching the surface of the thousands of great songs in classic country music,” said Wayne. “The jukeboxes that held them were, and are, the best textbooks I could ever hope to have. The lessons learned through the years, and the ones still being learned today, shaped me as a singer and songwriter. They are priceless to me, and I hope the folks who listen to this album will treasure them as well.”
Bill Anderson had nothing but kind words to say in regard to Wayne’s latest project: “I’ve often said anyone can trace a picture… it takes a true artist to paint one. Dallas Wayne is an artist, because he takes these old songs and paints them in a totally different light from the way the jukebox originally taught him. My song, ‘Tips Of My Fingers,’ for example, has never been recorded outside of a waltz tempo until now. And it shines… as do all the others… in the hands of a true artist.”
Volume 2 comes as a sequel to Songs The Jukebox Taught Me: Volume 1, which was released in 2016. In addition to releasing a new album, Dallas will be performing throughout the year, including multiple shows in his home state of Texas. Keep up with all of Dallas’ tour dates on www.dallaswayne.com.
