TeamAudra Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) According to her Facebook page , she now has a publicist. The person representing her is the owner of the company. They have quite a few big name clients, and also represent the Ryman Auditorium and Blake’s Ole Red bars. She’s not listed on the roster yet, but Ebie McFarland is listed as the contact person on her Facebook page. This is a good sign. https://ebmediapr.com/about She also reposted on Facebook this morning to expect new music in “early 2020.” It seems like things are happening right now. She’s in Nashville.

rhapsody99 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Big news Chevel is releasing two songs on March 20th. "Momma Got the Chair" and "Everybody's Got a Story" (written by Shane McAnally, Kacey Musgraves, and Brandy Clark). Yet another article from CRS in a major publication, props to Chevel's PR team: https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2020/02/25/country-singers-voice-typically-choose-blake-shelton-heres-what-happens-if-you-pick-kelly-clarkson/ Quote Since her victory, Shepherd has been traveling back and forth between her hometown of Farmington, N.M., and Nashville as she embarks on her new career. On March 20, she’s independently releasing two new songs, “Everybody’s Got a Story” (written by McAnally, Kacey Musgraves and Brandy Clark) and “Mama Got the Chair” (written by Nora Collins, Nick Donley and Shepherd’s fellow “Voice” contestant Dave Fenley). Not only did Clarkson help acquire such coveted co-writers, but she got Shepherd studio time to record her coming EP at Starstruck Entertainment, owned by Clarkson’s father-in-law, Narvel Blackstock. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard the “Chair” song many times. Looking forward to hearing the studio. That song has a story that goes along with it, so people can understand the meaning. I haven’t heard the 2nd one, though. Those are obviously A-list writers on that one. I wonder what their game plan is, going forward? Given that she has a top PR person on board, they just have something up their sleeves. Edited February 25, 2020 by TeamAudra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It, sure is a situation that needs t/must change, SOON, indeed.“I‘m proud to be a female country singer and am proud of the music the women in this format continue to create,” says Shepherd, who turned down the record deal that accompanied her Voice win so she could make a traditional country album more true to her vision.

TeamAudra Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) First of all, the audio on these is terrible. But, it’s gives general idea of the songs. She’s clearly going for the Kacey/Brandy storytelling route with these, which works for me, and there’s a market for that. I’m sure she’ll release the country rock style songs later. “Everybody’s got a Story” I can’t make out many of the lyrics, but it definitely seems like something Kacey would write. It should be good. “Momma Got the Chair” Edited February 26, 2020 by TeamAudra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew1903 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 "Mama..." isn't problem. I had listen to it long ago. But, not having such good luck with "Everybody's..." Is it a cover of this?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I searched iTunes and couldn’t find a Kacey version. Here are the lyrics https://songmeanings.com/m/songs/view/3530822107859547696/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamAudra Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Here it is in a more intimate setting. You can hear the lyrics better. I think this is a Kacey song from before anyone knew who she was, and it didn’t make it on her album. That’s pretty freaking cool. It’s a really good song.

Ok, I wasn't, absolutely, certain it was this same song that Chevel was releasing, if so, she will nail it. It's sort of ironic since someone had just suggested Chevel sounded a bit Kacey-esque or should that be Kacey-ish The one I had found was from 8 years ago. That's before she was a household name. When I found it I, also, noticed she did some songs with John Prine... I hadn't realised he became so fat as he aged. They do Illegal Smile together, for one. And not recent, at all.

TeamAudra Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) After consulting with the resident Kacey expert, the song was a hidden track on Same Trailer Different Park, so technically “unreleased.” Like I said, it won’t be found on iTunes. https://www.oldies.com/product-view/49415O.html Edited February 27, 2020 by TeamAudra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, that means it will be release as a Chevel song & will be known as a Chevel song... although, here's why I was uncertain, at 1st. There is another song with the same title, but, it's not this one, it's the Kacey song. I cannot find much about Kacey's song, as far as listed anywhere, but, here are the lyrics Edited February 27, 2020 by Drew1903 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Song titles get reused all the time. Also...keep in mind, some hardcore Kacey fans will probably be sensitive about this. They will still consider it Kacey’s song. I totally understand, and I’m sure Chevel will too. The more casual Kacey/country fans probably won’t know the song. This isn’t the only Kacey song Chevel has. Apparently, Kacey/Shane/Brandy have dozens of unreleased songs. Edited February 27, 2020 by TeamAudra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I’m saying is it’s best to tiptoe around it. Chevel will probably say Kacey wrote it every time she performs it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Spurrious Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I can't imagine any Kacey fan's getting pressed about Chevel releasing one of her songs. There was a time when Kacey believed her career was as a songwriter not a performer. Any serious Kacey fan would know that. I mean, no one is bent because Miranda released Moma's Broken Heart or that Hayden Panettiere released Undermine. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wondered if it would be that way on this one, since it was a hidden track on her album, but never mind! I’m sure you’re right. That concern even seems dumb to me after thinking about it. LOL.
