Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/ TAMMY COCHRAN Official Website) - TAMMY COCHRAN has recorded a duet titled "
Loving You"! The emotional ballad is one of fourteen songs included on the just-released Try a
Little Kindness, an album of duets.
Prominent country entertainers - including The
Bellamy Brothers and The Oak Ridge Boys and Christian music artists also lent their support to the album, each joining in song with recording artist and songwriter Greg McDougal.
The new album is part of an extensive ongoing A House For My Kids project initiated by Greg. He and his wife, Diane, have four children, ages nine and under - with three of them having been diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. The McDougals are in the process of raising funds to have an allergen-free home built which will better accommodate their children's needs. The new home would significantly ease the complications from Cystic Fibrosis that put their children's well being at stake.
When asked if she would be interested in contributing to the album, Tammy was happy to oblige. "It is truly my pleasure to be a part of such a great cause. I am always anxious to help whenever I can, especially when it comes to Cystic Fibrosis. [Try a Little Kindness] is a great album with great songs and great singers; I was happy to be included."
Tammy knows all too well about the detrimental effects of Cystic Fibrosis. Her two brothers - also her only siblings - both succumbed to the disease at early ages. Tammy's own Top 10 single, "Angels in Waiting," is a tribute to her brothers.
Having Tammy on the album held special significance for Greg. "To have Tammy so generously give of her time and incredible talent to be a part of our project is really more than we have words for." Greg and Diane, both having been so emotionally moved after watching her "Angels in Waiting" video, became instant Tammy Cochran fans. "As we began putting this duets CD together, we dared to dream all that we could possibly imagine." One of those dreams was: "What if Tammy Cochran could sing on 'Loving You'? We are experiencing a miracle as we try to get this special house built for our kids, and we are beyond grateful to Tammy Cochran for being such an awesome part of it all."
"Loving You" has been released as a single to Christian radio markets.
Try a Little Kindness is available for purchase at www.ahouseformykids.com, with proceeds from album sales going toward the building of the McDougal family's new home.
Tammy continues to aid in raising awareness for Cystic Fibrosis as much as her schedule allows, by supporting various benefits, charity walks, and other events. Last month, she traveled to Pennsylvania for the Amy's Ride For CF event, where she treated attending patrons to music for the event.
The next couple months will find Tammy doing a run of shows in Tennessee and South Carolina. From July 22 - 26, Tammy will be at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, TN, for The Great American Country Show, which brings country, bluegrass, Americana and gospel songs to life on stage in each 45-minute show. She joins other guest country artists throughout the show's run including T. Graham Brown, Linda Davis, Jimmy Fortune, Jeannie Seely, among others. Shows to take place in the Pines Theatre on the grounds of the popular theme park.
