BURNS & POE INTRODUCE NATIONWIDE CLASSIFIED CAMPAIGN
---“I NEED A JOB”


NASHVILLE, Tenn. (September 14, 2011) –Appealing to the sentiment of many, Blue Steel Records’ Burns & Poe have recently recorded a tune that is certain to speak to all. Written and recorded in all seriousness and some jest,
Keith Burns and Michelle Poe introduce
“I Need A Job.” Addressing one of America’s hottest topics, the track comes “hot off the press” and was conceived as a timely “voice.”

“We have enjoyed unbelievable response when we perform this song live; it’s obvious that it strikes a chord in the heart of our listeners.” Michelle Poe explains. “It's gotten to the point, when talking to fans and friends, where an epidemic of joblessness presents itself. The American Dream, it seems, has been reduced to just making enough money to pay for gas to get to your job and hope it’s still there when you arrive.”

“The song just kind of wrote itself,” Keith Burns adds. “My co-writer, John Ritter, and I knew when we started writing this tune that we were creating a song to voice the frustration, hopelessness and need that many feel. A job means more than just paying the bills; it’s about self-respect, self worth and pride. Working is part of the American way. People don’t want a hand-out, they want a job. It’s not a political issue – it’s an American financial, social and emotional issue.”

Available now on PlayMPE and CDX Vol. 532/9/26/2011, “I Need A Job” (written by Burns and John Ritter) is going for immediate adds. The release will be supported by an “I Need A Job” video submission competition wherein the winning contestant will be employed by the Burns & Poe team for a 30-day period. Details to follow.

The pair, named Music Row Magazine’s “Independent Artist of the Year,” possesses an unparalleled combination of superlative writing augmented with a sound patented by Michelle Poe’s melodious, buttery vocals and Keith Burns’ gritty, soulful, tenor tone. Their self-titled debut 2-disc album was released earlier this year and received high praise from a variety of outlets including Country Weekly; the magazine notes that “the duo exemplifies the magic male-female duos of yesteryear, pairs like George Jones and Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn. Keith Burns and Michelle Poe are a duo for the country music masses.”

No core country artist has crossed over more titles to AC. Rogers has scored eight AC No. 1s. Rogers: "I remember when [the AC charts] were established, I thought it was so cool. I've always been a believer in the strength of the song. My problem is I'm a country singer who's had a lot of other musical influences, so my stuff is going to tend to be more AC. That's always been my slam in country music, that I was never a true country artist, even though &q

They call her..The Bare Naked Bandit..29 yr Old Lee Grace Doherty

ARRESTED now in Colorado...but what a story and week for 2 brothers and their stripper sister! Text messages and tweets by three fugitive siblings who shot at a police officer and robbed a bank reveal a dangerous mindset and a firm bond between the siblings, "We've certainly seen their mindset when... They shot at a law enforcement officer outside of Tampa Bay, Fla., and when they fired inside that bank in Valdosta, Ga. But these additional texts and tweets have given us additional insight," FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett told "Good Morning America" today. " We are concerned and feel that they are going to continue and cause problems to say the least for law enforcement." Ryan Dougherty, 21; his sister Lee Grace E.
