Michael Johns Twittered the news that he and Brooke White will be performing at NARM this Wednesday, June 10th.  They are said to be performing the duet "Life Is Okay" from the Don't Look Down soundtrack for the first time since it was recorded.  It's even been suggested that there might be some video of the performance so I'll keep my eyes open for that one on YouTube.

Michael Johns 'To Love Somebody'

Michael Johns recently sang his version of the beautiful Bee Gees song 'To Love Somebody' - said to be on his upcoming album 'Hold Back My Heart', which will be released June 23, 2009. Michael has told the story of how the Bee Gees originally wrote the song for Otis Redding, but sadly Otis passed away before he was able to record it.

Don't Look Down Soundtrack Now Made Available To International Fans

Rye Randa, Michael Johns, and Jeff Foxworth.

As some of you already know, the Michael Johns, Rye Randa, and Jeff Foxworth soundtrack Don't Look Down featuring the Michael Johns/Brooke White duet "Life Is Okay" isn't available to fans outside the United States. Brace yourselves for this happy news!

Rye Randa is the hero to every international fan currently unable to download the soundtrack "Don't Look Down".  He's making the download available to all Michael Johns, Rye Randa, Jeff Foxworth, and Brooke White fans that don't have access to the soundtrack through Amazon.com or iTunes. 

In an email I received today, he asked that I post the news of his gift. He's placed the soundtrack on his website and made it available for purchase there.

Hey Rebecca-

Wanted to let you know I've been getting quite a few emails from Michael's international fans, especially in Australia who have been very frustrated because they cannot buy the soundtrack.  For some reason iTunes and Amazon have only made it available in the U.S. (not smart on their part).  So until we deal with that issue, we have made the soundtrack available to the international community as a download from my website www.ryemusic.com.  Would you mind posting something in the forum, or wherever else you think would be appropriate?  Hopefully this will satisfy some of the fans who've been feeling neglected!

Thanks Rebecca!

Hope all is well.

-Rye

As always, it's my pleasure to share any words I get from him.  Enjoy the news, and for those of you who didn't have access before, enjoy the soundtrack as well.
