Get well James Otto

The timing is not great to say the least for James Otto. The big hulking soulful country singer has a brand new CD coming out this Tuesday.

So, where does Otto find himself only days before "Shake What God Gave Ya" out? Why, in the hospital, of course. Seems that Otto has some sort of abdominal problems. The details were not exactly clear from a statement from Otto on his web site. Otto told his fans, "I have been feeling badly on and off for a while now but didn't think it was serious."

The release of a new CD, of course, is always a busy time for artists, combining personal appearances with TV and a huge promotional push. This is particularly important in this day and age of difficult sales.

Here's to James Otto and hoping he returns to full health asap.
