About the Artist
Troy Cory, with his sincere fatherly style, presents an album of popular contemporary songs with the emotional understatement that seems to dominate country and western music. A most successful and well-loved American performer, in this collection of songs, we have the full opportunity to sample his easygoing country lure -- in this great Christmas time CD. Only a truly great performer can win out trying to interpolate a melody, for a lyric, while performing for musical video clip or an hour long television show. Many of the special occasion songs you'll hear in this album, were written and recorded in the countries where Troy filmed and video taped portions of the video clips, you can now see if you have a DVD or VHS player. Troy's ongoing television series is a culmination of over 12 years of music and cinematography, recorded, filmed and video taped in London; Munich; Nashville; Jackson, Mississippi, The People's Republic of China; Hollywood; Switzerland; Italy; France; Holland and the real country, Worcester, England. In 1988, Troy was the first American recording/television artist to perform concerts in China, (20,000 per show)- and the first to be allowed to sell record and music videos. Over 300 million viewers watched his shows weekly These far away locations, set to Troy's soothing' style, then edited with special effects and dramatic episodes, have been perfected into a unique video clip television series. All of the Christmas songs used in the show are found in this Christmas Album. Troy's grandfather, Nathan B. Stubblefield, is recognized as the inventor of the radio. His voice that broadcast the words, "Hello, Reiney" across the swampy Kentucky woods in 1892, were the first words transmitted, any where in the world, without wires. Today Stubblefield's former farm is the campus of Murray State University, where a marker commemorating the historic achievement was dedicated two years after his death in 1928. The radio station in Murray, Kentucky, carries his initials, WNBS. Band Members: William Tasker; James Getzoff; James Dunham; Sidney Sharp; Gale Robinson; Malcom McNab; Del Kacher; Milton Nadel; Alana Loos (Christmas Medley) Priscilla Cory; Manuela; Kimberly Roderick
