Matt can u tell me if David Nail's new record is still going to Come out despite the lack of success of Nights On Fire. Can't believe it wasn't a hit. Country radio just doesn't seem to want to Consistently support his career. Puts out some of the best music. I just don't get it. Thnx for any info.

"Nights On Fire" is still getting airplay (It's Top 25 right now) and is Top 10 (or Top 5) in secondary radio markets. I suspect we'll hear a July/August release date for his album.
