NEW RELEASES
March Release!! CHIC-084 - Good Old Country Song
The title of this tune is no lie. This IS a “Good Old Country Song” and although there were at least three singing calls based on it already, they were all 40 to 50 years old and we decided it was WAY past due for a modern update. We pulled no punches on the music as we enlisted family members to cover all the key country sounds. You'll hear some flat picking on the guitar, some fiddlin' around on the fiddle, mandolin, steel guitar, honky-tonk piano, banjo and so much more that makes this a great piece of music.
Each song package includes two instrumental tracks, music with and without the background vocals (BGV). You will also receive the sample vocal track and cue sheets in multiple file formats.
Dual Key Option - If you are not sure which key works best for you, we have a package deal to purchase both keys at a reduced price.

February Release!! CHIC-083 - Words of Love
“Words of Love” was written by Buddy Holly and first recorded and released by him in April of 1957. He harmonized with himself on the song, which certainly wasn’t as easy to do then as it is today. Wikipedia states that while it wasn’t a notable hit for Holly, it is regarded as one of his most important recordings. In 1964, The Beatles recorded a cover of the song as a tribute to Buddy Holly. Our version is inspired by the Beatles release.
Each song package includes four instrumental tracks, music with or without the background vocals (BGV) and each of those with and without the melody line. "NM" in a file name indicates "no melody." You will also receive the sample vocal track and cue sheets in multiple file formats.

November Release!! CHIC-082 - Crying in the Rain
“Crying in the Rain” was composed by Carole King with lyrics by Howard Greenfield. Interesting trivia that this was the only song written by them together. Both were in other writing duos working for Aldon Music and “on a whim” they all decided to switch writing partners for the day. It was originally recorded and released in 1962 by The Everly Brothers. Our arrangement was inspired by the Art Garfunkel/James Taylor duet released in 1993.
Each song package includes four instrumental tracks, music with or without the background vocals (BGV) and each of those with and without the melody line. "NM" in a file name indicates "no melody." You will also receive the sample vocal track and cue sheets in multiple file formats.

SPECIAL COLLABORATIVE RELEASE WITH RHYTHM RECORDS!!
RRC-1002 - Deep Purple
"Deep Purple" is a new collaborative release from Rhythm Records and Chic Recordings, featuring producers Wade Driver and Shauna Kaaria on the vocal track for this new duet.
The music for “Deep Purple” was written by Peter DeRose and published as a piano composition in 1933. Sheet music sales made the song so popular that Mitchell Parish added lyrics in 1938.
One of the most popular releases of the song (and our inspiration) was recorded in 1963 by brother and sister duo, Nino Temple and April Stevens. This version won the grammy for "Best Rock and Roll Record."
When you purchase this package, you will receive the vocal track and eight additional tracks that will allow you to duet with either Wade or Shauna, or music only to sing alone with another caller. Each option comes with or without the melody line.
This is the second duet collaboration between Rhythm Records and Chic Recordings. The first, RRC 1001 – Let it Be Me, was produced by Wade Driver and released in April of 2019. You can preview and purchase that release at www.rhythmrecords.biz.
