Well, hello again. I've been so busy I just realized I haven't written a new update since September! So much has been going on, it's really a whirlwind, but here are the highlights. Not only am I thrilled about having made the "top 100" list of Americana artists being played in the Netherlands--right alongside Emmylou Harris--but I'm feeling like a kid counting the days 'til Christmas because on Thanksgiving my new Christmas song, "Be My Valentine (On Christmas)," will be hitting the airwaves of Texas and Americana stations everywhere--being represented by two of the top promoters in the industry. This is all very exciting, and there's more: the other day I met with my producer, John Evans, to begin planning our approach to my new album that we'll start recording at Houston's legendary Sugar Hill Studios in December. We decided to kick off the sessions with a duet--our own rip-roaring version of "Jackson"-- our tribute to the late, great Johnny Cash and June Carter-Cash. This selection should set the tone for the rest, including some of my best songs ever (the new originals yet to be unveiled to the public), plus a couple of covers that have been carefully chosen by none other than me because they're by my old-school country music heroes and they're the great energizers that I love to belt out loud when I'm hanging around here at the house on a good day or a bad one. So, as always, I'm so happy to report that a lot is happening with the music, not to mention the shows that are coming up this month--which are all covered on the "calendar" page of this site. I do hope to see you soon, and please make sure to say hello when you're out at a show or email me, as so many of you do. I'd also love for you to use the link on this page to join the email list and receive the newsletter I send out a couple of times a month. I get so many wonderful replies from all over the world, and it's a terrific feeling to know that wherever you are, you're reading this right now and hearing my music as I've dreamed it would be for so long. Until next time-- Glenna Bell
