North Adams, MA (September 4, 2008) -- Singer/songwriter Rick Henry has signed an exclusive U.S. distribution deal with Raceway Media’s RacingJunk.com for his debut CD, “Wide Open.” The newly released 10-track CD will be available exclusively through the online RacingJunk.com store, located on the web at http://shop.racingjunk.com. In addition to being a singer/songwriter, Henry is an avid race car driver who competes on the ¼-mile dirt track at Clarksville Speedway in Tennessee. As a racer, Henry has been a longtime member of RacingJunk.com, the nation’s leading online classified marketplace for performance racing enthusiasts. “I’ve been a part of the RacingJunk community for a long time, and RacingJunk folks are my kind of people – they’re the people I’m writing about and singing for. Partnering with RacingJunk.com for the distribution of my CD is a great opportunity for me, and I believe this audience is going to really connect with what my music is all about,” said Henry. Originally from Ontario, Canada, Henry has spent the last decade in Nashville, Tennessee working on his music while moonlighting as both a bounty hunter and race car driver. His adrenaline-fueled sidelines are incorporated into a number of tracks on the new CD, notably “Bounty Huntin’ Man” and “Wide Open,” a song about Saturday night dirt track racing that any racer will relate to. Other tracks include “Rocks in the Garden,” which rose to #26 on the Canadian country music charts, and three other previously released singles that broke into the top 50 on the CMN chart. “We’re thrilled to offer Rick’s new CD in the RJ Store,” said Debbi Sarazin, Senior Manager for Business Development at Raceway Media. “RacingJunk members are going to love his music if they don’t know it already. We’re going to be able to provide Rick with exposure to our base of 290,000 members and beyond, and it’s going to be very exciting as word spreads within the RacingJunk community about this great new CD.” Henry is a member of the RJ RaceSpace community, the social networking component of RacingJunk.com.
