Eddie Money Is Going Country
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) - Eddie Money is going country. The veteran rocker is working on an album featuring countrified remakes of some of his early hits, including “Two Tickets to Paradise” and “Hard Life.”
The first single from “The Other Side of Money,” a new version of “Give Me Some Water” recorded in Nashville with backing vocals by Grammy winner Vince Gill and co-produced by John Ford Coley, is scheduled to be released this weekend.
The album is a production of Big 7 Records, a small country record label based in Northern California, where Money began his career.
Dennis Sanfillipo, who co-founded Big 7 with some of the millions he won in the state lottery 16 years ago, has known the gravelly voiced singer for years and helped persuade him to give country music a try.
“I knew Eddie was really well-known, but the way the country people have ingratiated him to the community is really incredible,” Sanfillipo said.
Money, 58, released his last album of new music in 1999 and came out last year with a disc of 1960s soul and R&B covers.

In other news, I and beloved others spent most of last night packaging MOODRING radio press kits. Thanks to Jam Records, Powderfinger Promotions out of Boston is handling a national campaign for Third Of Never’s debut album. The CD will be sent to over 500 radio stations, and Powderfinger’s staff will be “working” the CD for 6-weeks. If the results are promising, it may be expanded by a few weeks.
I’m also attending a family wedding tonight. This will be my first Friday night wedding, unless that incident in Tijuana a few years back counts.
Really running on vapors as the week winds down. Although like alot of you, my work week doesn’t end on Friday. If I’m lucky I’ll get to lay on the floor and drool for an hour or so Sunday afternoon.
Here’s some cool stuff to view until Monday:
Pure Power…notice the spray can at the end:
Eric Clapton can kiss my ass:
Jim Carey does CSI:
GOD MAKE IT STOP:
