Christian Label-Stacy McCloud

Nashville has a brand new Christian label.

The announcement, along with some other exciting country music news, was made Friday.

The two men behind three different country music labels have announced a deal to launch a new Christian label.

Ronnie Gilley and James Stroud are forming Forrest Records.

They are no strangers to music-between them they own Stroudavarious Records and Bamjam Records.

They are in the process of signing two artists and believe joining their creative forces together is the best approach.

"We like to look at it by centergized perspective, that a multitude of things arrive at a greater good than a single thing so that is how we started our entertainment entity if you will."

Gilley is also busy getting ready for next week's official grand opening of Country Crossings.

That's the entertainment mecca built in
Dothan, Alabama.

We took you to the ground breaking this past summer, and we will head back for the star-studded concert kick off next week.

Starting next Friday, we'll have three days of reports from Alabama, giving you an all-access look at the brand new state of the art entertainment resort.Christian Label-Stacy McCloud
