Benefit Show for Clifford Curry

There's a benefit show Wednesday night for our friend and fellow performer, Clifford Curry. Clifford has recently been quite ill and is still unable to work. The show is at Babe's Lounge, Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel, 7621 Kingston Pike. Troy Shondell will perform. There's a very informative article by Wayne Bledsoe on Knoxville.com with more information.

"My Tennessee", BNO's new CD, is now available!

"My Tennessee" is the latest release from C. Vaughn Leslie & Boys' Night Out. The two-song CD represents something of a departure from their usual work, but it still has the unique soul/R&B sound that has made this band a favorite for more than 27 years.

The title song, "My Tennessee", was originally written by John Bean, who you may know as the star of the infamous "Whoop A**" tapes that have "gone viral" around the world. You won't hear that kind of language here, however. "My Tennessee" is a beautiful and sensitive ode to the state we love so much, given the special "Boys' Night Out" treatment, with additional lyrics by C. Vaughn Leslie. If it doesn't put tears in your eyes and a lump in your throat, then you must be from somewhere else.

"Coach Pearl is the Best in the World" was written by Knoxville's own Clifford Curry, famous for such Carolina Beach Music hits as "She Shot a Hole in My Soul" and "Baby Won't You Shag With Me". This time, Clifford turns his writing and vocal talents to the exaltation of Coach Bruce Pearl, who leads the University of Tennessee Vols men's basketball team to victory on the court. Clifford sings Coach Pearl's praises and explains exactly why he is the best in the world. With the backing of the Boys' Night Out horn and rhythm sections, this song will keep you on your feet with your toes tapping!

"My Tennessee" is available now from the Disc Exchange on Chapman Highway, or you can purchase the individual tracks for downloading from Digstation.com. More purchase options will be available soon.
