Arcadia, CA (Top40 Charts/ Rural Rhythm Records) - Following a debut at the number three spot just five weeks ago on the CMT Pure 12-Pack Countdown, progressive acoustic artist Randy Kohrs reached the coveted number one position just a week later, unprecedented by any other independent artist. It has since stayed in the top four, and this week has jumped right back up to the number one slot, where it shows no signs of dropping down. The video for Kohrs' new single, "Who's Goin' With Me," from his latest Rural Rhythm Records CD, Old Photograph, is the first for the singer/songwriter and world-renowned resophonic guitarist, and it appears that he got it right the first time. Directed by Jarboe, of Bell-Jarboe Films, it was shot on location in Hendersonville, TN and boasts cameo appearances by country artist Pam Tillis, Americana icon Jim Lauderdale, the song's co-writer and MuzikMafia artist Shannon Lawson, and RCA recording artist Waylon Payne, who is also recognizable as Jerry Lee Lewis in the blockbuster, Walk The Line, among members of Kohrs' touring band, Randy Kohrs & the Lites. Playing a lead role is the young mandolin prodigy Sierra Hull. Following the successes of this work, plans have already begun for the video on the next single. "Who's Goin' With Me" is on the ballot for next week's 12-Pack Countdown show on CMTPure, the newer all-music digital station, and voting has already started on CMT.com. The song was also recently sent out to several country music stations around the country, where it is expected to equally impact. It will be made available to all stations via digital download soon, as well. More information on the artist may be found at www.randykohrs.com and myspace.com/randykohrs.
