FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Rising Country Star Jimmy Aldridge Reaches Internet Milestone


Nashville, Tennessee - Country music artist Jimmy Aldridge has reached an internet
milestone, racking up over 50,000 plays on Myspace.com. Over the last few years
Myspace has introduced several new musical acts to the national market, but there is
yet to be a country act among them. Aldridge is poised to become the first.

Aldridge\'s music is a combination of neo-traditional country influences and southern
rock. Aldridge says he sought out alternatives to traditional music industry
marketing when faced with resistance from Nashville elites regarding his style.
\"They want pop music. I don\'t do pop, and I\'m not going to change to please them
when, nowdays, I can go out there and do it myself\", Aldridge said.

Aldridge is currently completing a full length independent country album in
Nashville, recorded at major studios like The Parlor and The Tracking Room. He has
been featured as an acoustic act at the White Elephant Saloon in Ft. Worth, Texas,
and Nashville Crossroads in Nashville, TN.

\"It\'s hard to get ahead as an independent artist\", Aldridge said. \"The hardest part
is financing everything yourself, but the internet makes it a lot easier. Now it\'s
possible to get my music in front of thousands of people without spending thousands
on advertising..\"

Aldridge\'s most played song on Myspace is \"Southern Comfort\", a southern rock ballad
that has been described by Nashville producer Robin Knuckles as a \"country rock
anthem\". His influences come through, specifically those of southern rockers Lynyrd
Skynrd and Marshall Tucker, although his sound is unequivocally original. His first
full-length effort is scheduled for release in June of 2008.
