Columbia Records Nashville decided to put off the release of his first single until the end of summer. So, we will wait and we will be patient. Christian Kane is a man worth waiting for, as those of us who own his first two CD’s already know. He will be touring radio stations to promote his music and will then start to work on Leverage for TNT. The wait has already been agonizingly long, but we will count the days and the months in anticipation.

Steve Carlson, Christian’s friend and songwriting partner, just released his new CD "Stripped Down". It can be purchased at www.cdbaby.com and of course, I bought, I listen to and I enjoy it. It’s Steve without his band, mainly him and his guitar, singing his beloved ballads. There are 12 songs, most of them are new, but he also added a few of his old favorites. My personal favorite is "Happy Hour", which is also one of my favorite YouTube videos of Steve, so please check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrkPjrSKBbQ. Steve’s L.A. fans can catch him and the band again at the Hotel Café in Hollywood on Saturday, May 31st for a 9pm show, lucky us!
