ole Proud To Be Part Of Garth Brooks Comeback Story

TORONTO, CANADA (Top40 Charts/ Jaybird Communications) "People Loving People," a song co-written by Chris Wallin with busbee and Lee Thomas Miller during Wallin's time as an ole songwriter, is now on radio stations around the world as the lead-off single from Garth Brooks' first album of all-new material since 2001's Scarecrow. Within one day of release, "People Loving People" is already a Top 30 track on U.S. country radio, according to Mediabase.

Wallin's catalog is owned by ole and includes hits such as Toby Keith's "Love Me If You Can," Kenny Chesney's "Don't Blink," Trace Adkins' "I'm Tryin'," and Montgomery Gentry's "Something To Be Proud Of" and "Speed."

"At ole, we're committed to finding every opportunity for our catalog of songs, and Chris Wallin's style fits perfectly with the sensibility that Garth wanted for his new album," said John Ozier, General Manager of ole Nashville Creative. "It was thrilling to hear Garth's cut of 'People Loving People,' and I can't wait to see how people react to it."

"We never give up on our songs," said Robert Ott, Chairman and CEO of ole. "I believe so much in the quality of our entire catalog, and to have Garth Brooks choose 'People Loving People' for his return is a tremendous validation of the faith we have in our songs."
