Carrie Hassler releases first single from upcoming album CHHR2
Nashville Tenn. — Rural Rhythm Records is proud to announce the release of Carrie Hassler & Hard Rain’s first single from the group’s upcoming CD titled, CHHR2. This highly anticipated new album from the group and the second on the Rural Rhythm label, is set for release on July 29, 2008. Jon Weisberger, writer with the Nashville Scene said, “I Can Go Back Anytime is a tasty preview of things to come from Carrie Hassler & Hard Rain on their next release. Great song, great singer, great performance!” The single is the first track on a Rural Rhythm’s Fresh Cuts & Key Tracks CD released to bluegrass radio this week.
“I Can Go Back Anytime” was written by Jennifer Strickland who wrote the band’s second chart single, “Going on the Next Train” from their previous CD. That previous album debut on Rural Rhythm Records garnered the group a Billboard Chart Album, a Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine (BU) Chart Album, TWO chart singles on BU’s Top 30 Single Chart (Seven Miles From Wichita and Going on the Next Train) and a chart single “Least That I Can Do” on Bluegrass Now Magazine’s Gospel Truth Charts. Those tracks plus and others still continue to chart on numerous other Roots, Bluegrass, Americana and Country charts as of today.
The band is comprised of Carrie Hassler, Keith McKinnon, Kevin McKinnon, Travis Anderson, Josh Miller and Jamie Harper. Their national tour includes upcoming performances in Idaho, California, Wisconsin, New Jersey, and so many more.

The Group will also be back in the studio this month putting the finishing touches on their, as of yet, untitled 2nd release for Rural Rhythm Records with Producer Jim VanCleve. An exact release date isn’t available at this time but expect to see it later this year.
Hassler and Company hit the road again in March and April with shows booked in Canada, Washington, Georgia, Minnesota, South Carolina, Florida, North Carolina and Tennessee before heading overseas in May to perform at the European World of Bluegrass in The Netherlands followed by a U.K. tour.
