Vern Gosdin
Legendary country singer/songwriter, Vern Gosdin, is currently in Australia to record a duet with Queensland based country star, Kimber Sparks.
The pair will record a new version of Gosdin’s 1982 classic, “Today My World Slipped Away”, which was also made a huge hit again by George Strait - hitting #1 for three weeks in 1998.
It will be produced by Brendan Radford and feature some of Australia’s hottest musicians.
Besides being a top selling artist in his own right, Gosdin, is one of the most respected songwriters in country music - having his songs recorded by artists such as George Jones, Willie Nelson, Brad Paisley, Tanya Tucker, Emmylou Harris, Ralph Stanley, Janie Fricke and Australia’s own Adam Harvey to name just a few.
Vern Gosdin is truly one of country music`s true living legends. His spine tingling harmony and honest, heartfelt voice have been an integral part of country music for over thirty years. Gosdin – who has the ability to lace his songs with humor or heart wrenching sadness - can go from one end of the spectrum to the other over a course of an album. Vern has a whole stack of awards gracing his mantle including CMA, ASCAP and Billboard Awards as well as inductions into the Music Publishers Hall of Fame in 1998 and the Alabama Country Music Hall of Fame in 2005. Taking pride of place is the 1988 CMA Song of The Year Award for “Chiseled In Stone” which was co-written with Max D. Barnes.
Kimber Sparks is no stranger to the Australian music scene. Her “Go Get Em Girl” EP has generated massive airplay around the country and the single “Taking The You Out of Us” fared well in the Mildura Hot 100 Chart.
Kimber’s next single “Somewhere Between” hits radio next month.
The Vern Gosdin & Kimber Sparks duet, “Today My World Slipped Away”, will be released over the coming months in both Australia and the US.
