Big & Rich form label
Thursday, January 9, 2014 – Big & Rich formed their own record label, leaving Warner Brothers after four studio albums.
The duo will put out their next album later this year.
Recorded in Nashville, the album, which was produced by John Rich and Big Kenny, will be led by the first single, "Look At You," which was written by Rich and Shannon Lawson. The song goes to radio soon. Big & Rich will work with Kobalt Label Services, the home of Martina McBride.
"2014 is a new milestone for us. We're completely invigorated to be working with Kobalt and New Revolution and taking this new approach for this exciting album. The music is very fresh, and we're in a new creative groove which we hope our fans and new audiences will like," said John Rich and Big Kenny in a joint statement.
New Revolution Entertainment is a promotion company.

Either they're partying like there's no tomorrow, as happens during Cowboyz, or they are the preacher's pets, exemplified by That's Why I Pray. But can these lustful 'Cause I Play Guitar guys, be the same ones that singer tender ballads like Last Words? Apparently so. It's the whole Saturday night vs. Sunday morning paradox, one supposes. ...
