Search - Y'all :: The "Hey Y'all!" Soundtrack

You hold your breath. Out of the silence comes the singular voice of Jingle Girl: "W-a-a-y ... down in a town called Music City, there's a couple of fellas who can sing real pretty, and you can't miss ?em ?cause one of ?em wears a dress!" The crowd screams "Hey, Y'all!" as James Dean Jay Byrd and Steven Cheslik-DeMeyer, better known as Y'all, come bounding out for their opening song. A little bit "Sonny & Cher" and a little bit "Hee Haw," it's a whole lot of something you've never seen before. It's "Hey, Y'all!" The "Hey, Y'all!" Soundtrack is the "soundtrack" of Y'all's dream - a TV variety show. It's partly a concept album: you can see it as tongue-in-cheek humor, a soundtrack for a show that doesn't exist. Or you can see it as a demonstration of what a Y'all TV variety show would sound like. In both cases, you'd be right. It's both. The style of the recording, the song selection and arrangements, and the packaging and marketing are all tailored to look and sound as if "Hey, Y'all!," a TV variety show hosted by Y'all, really does exist and this CD is its soundtrack. Y'all is cutting edge. It's what you remember. It's what you never imagined. Hey, Y'all contains a batch of new Y'all originals, a peppy take on Johnny Cash's "I Walk the Line," and Tom Paxton's "The Last Thing on My Mind." Y'all were joined in the studio by a host of Nashville notables: bluegrass legend Roland White, Andrew Hardin from Tom Russell's band, Merle Haggard's guitar player, Redd Volkaert, and the inimitable Kristi Rose singing the part of Jingle Girl.
