Jason Isbell & Kellie Pickler to Release Pink Vinyl
Some of your favorite music from the country world and beyond is going pink on September 30th to help spread awareness and raise money for those suffering from Breast Cancer as part of the music world’s contribution to Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October. Red Distribution and Gilda’s House are partnering to offer “Ten Bands / One Cause” limited edition pink vinyl releases with proceeds going to Gilda’s House. Jason Isbell’s Southeastern, Kellie Pickler’s The Woman I Am, St. Paul & The Broken Bones’ Half The City, and seven other worthy projects will receive the pink treatment, and all are now available for pre-order.
“I love this idea,” says Jason Isbell, whose song “Elephant” from Southeastern tackles the Cancer issue head on with a courage and honesty rarely seen. “I’m in favor of anything that raises funds or awareness of this issue. Plus, it makes me feel like one of those cool ballplayers with the pink bats.”

Against Me!, Courtney Barnett, Lucius, Nothing, Temples, In This Moment, and Me First & The Gimmie Gimmies are also participating in the pink-colored promotional campaign. Many outlets are offering free MP3 downloads with the vinyl purchase.
Gilda’s Club New York City was named for Gilda Radner, the brilliant comedian and one of the original cast members of Saturday Night Live. Gilda was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1986. Following her death in 1989, Gilda’s husband, Gene Wilder and her cancer psychotherapist, Joanna Bull started the Gilda’s Club movement. In June, 1995 GCNYC opened its signature red door Gilda’s legacy to everyone living with cancer. Since opening, it has offered a place where men, women and children living with cancer and their families and friends can join together to build social and emotional support as a supplement to medical care.
“We have resources to help Cancer patients and their families learn how to live with their Cancer experience through our support groups, educational lectures, and classes,” says CEO Lily Stafani.

Southeastern and The Woman I Am are 2 of the best (if not THE best) country albums released in 2013 and limited edition pink vinyl is awesome! I ordered several copies of each and all 10 of these albums are great!

Thanks, sent to my daughter who buy vinyl.
As for the video, reminds me of his concert I saw in June: in a crowd of 800 drunks you could hear a pin drop during this song.
It’s one of the reasons I paid scalper prices to see him at the Ryman in October.
Did I ever mention Sturgill is opening for him?
Hee.

I’m going to that Ryman show too! I’ve seen Jason 3 times this year and Sturgill once. Them together might be the best thing ever.

Sweet! Hope you didn’t pay what I paid!

I was lucky enough to get ’em at face value. I’m sure it’ll be worth every penny you spent though. It’s going to be my first time going to Nashville ”“ I know there’s tons of things to see and do, but I’d love to hear suggestions from those who frequent this site!

Not to get all whiny but will they do a similar thing for prostate cancer awareness it is as common?
Oh wait, there is no prostate cancer awareness month with a blue ribbon.
Still, this is very cool, pink vinyl!

Don’t know about ribbons, but September IS National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.
And in case you missed it, Major League Baseball did a big promo on Fathers Day .

We’re a full week into September and this is the first I’ve heard about that. I guess there’s no glamour in a prostate.

Well, I don’t watch MLB much so that would explain it. However, it just shows how much more attention Breast Cancer Awareness gets, let’s change that up people! LOL! I want some blue vinyl!

Prostates are just not as fun to talk about as breasts 🙁

You could always move to D.C. It’s Prostate Massage Day 365 days a year there.

There’s usually another name for that when you don’t have a say in the matter.

What is breast cancer? I’ve never heard of it. Someone should get out the message that there’s this thing called breast cancer, because I bet a lot of Americans are ignorant of it like I am.

Awareness is important and the point is early detection. Do you think all Americans automatically get checked without awareness, reminders and mobile mammography units? Purchasing these pink albums benefits Gilda’s House, a support organization for people living with cancer, and if they weren’t posted online we wouldn’t know about them.
