Ed Gowens is the Owner an Founder of Echota Records Located In Calhoun, Georgia I’m a songwriter/producer and owner of Echota Records and Recording Studio. I have written over 500 songs since I wrote my first song in 1999. I have had over 200 songs recorded by various artists from around the world. At present, I co-host with, Donna Ray, an Internet radio show on Pal Talk in the Go Country With Derek room. There, we have listeners from around the world. Many friendships have been made in this room. Some of my songs have been recorded by great Independent artists such as: Donna Ray, Charlie Byrd, Gail Russell, The Washburn’s, Bruce Greaves, Jose Daniels, Randolph Michaud, Lilian & Manon, Rick Woods, Robert Shell horse, Richard Draime and Bob Harvey (founding member of Jefferson Airplane) to name a few plus many others. I feel very fortunate and honored that these great artists wanted to record my simple songs. I also appreciate all of my friends in the music business of which I have many. I thank God for whatever talent I may have in my humble writings. Yours in Rhyme, Ed Gowens

Album Dedication by DONNA RAY: "I dedicate this album to my dear friend ED GOWENS who has been an inspiration in my life. ED you have been there for me since the day we met. You welcomed me with open arms on your label ECHOTA RECORDS and through you I have met so many nice people who have also welcomed me. By the way ED don't forget the snacks. You know how I love to have my snacks. hehehehehe .. DOODLES" They were destined to meet, and they did. What a climactic moment that must have been, when a songwriter whose skill it is to write those tear- flooding country hits met the star who has the voice, personality and heart to take his songs to the very top. In my opinion, ED GOWENS and DONNA RAY are a perfect music match if there ever was one. When choosing songs for my March 11, 2008 "Tribute To Stu Munro" show as a fond farewell to the retiring STU'S PLACE radio host, it was NANCY MAREEN'S "I'm Crazy For You" from WIR-Records that declared our passion, and "Like A Dagger Through My Heart" from DONNA RAY'S new album was the cutting edge that unleashed the sorrow of longtime listeners. "BROKEN DREAMS" explicitly exposes the deepest pain of a hurting heart. Healing begins when we stare the cruel truth straight in the eye, cry out our sorrow, and start to feel the joys of life again. We are then finally free to discover that lasting love and real happiness may be only one ecstatic moment away. Congratulations to DONNA RAY whose "BROKEN DREAMS" album is also a dream come true for fans and radio hosts everywhere who hunger for the pure traditional country sound. Thank you ED GOWENS for sending me the album to delight STU'S PLACE listeners while I was a visiting Guest DJ, and for giving me the absolute thrill of meeting DONNA RAY through you. She made my day. You did, too! With love from Canada, EVY Freelance Writer http://www.withlovefromcanadaevy.ca EVY OF CANADA AWARDS

CountryHome Forum, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , is one of the biggest Forum for country music in Europe and part of CountryHome, www.countryhome.de , Germany's Premier Online Country Music Magazine.

CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.

Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.

I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.

Thanks
