BRIEF:

INFECTIOUS TEXAS COUNTRY-ROCKER RICH O’TOOLE READIES THIRD STUDIO ALBUM  VIA AVERAGE JOE’S ENTERTAINMENT ON JULY 12; ENLISTS FANS TO CREATE ALBUM COVER AND TITLE THROUGH FACEBOOK CONTEST

EXTENSIVE SUMMER TOUR CONFIRMED WITH STOPS IN HOUSTON, FT. WORTH, DENVER AND MORE 

Electrifying Texas country-rocker Rich O’Toole is set to release his highly aniticpated third studio album on July 12 via Average Joe’s Entertainment. O’Toole’s forthcoming release has yet to be named because he is enlisting his dedicated fans to create the album cover and title through a special contest on Facebook. “Fan's are the ones in control. They buy the merchandise, music, and concert tickets, so why not let them be in control of building a product that they love so much.”

Recorded in Austin, TX at Ray Benson’s Bismeaux Studios, the new album was produced by Clay Corn (the Pat Green Band) and is O’Toole’s most ambitious album to date. From the colorful Tex-Mex college anthem “Marijuana and Jalepenos” to “Never Gonna Quit,” a song about enduring the tough times that come from working in the music industry, O’Toole’s blistering, guitar-driven tracks punctuated by his gritty passion and clever lyrics prove evident throughout the whole album. O’Toole collaborated with some of the industry’s most sought after musicians and songwriters including his idol Pat Green who he teams with  for a rousing rendition of Wilco’s “Casino Queen” while Texas sensation Josh Abbott contributes vocals on “Ay Dios Mio,” a rollicking tune about small town women. Additionally, O’Toole co-wrote two songs (“Kiss Of A Liar,” “Banks of the Mississippi”) with prolific songwriter JimBeau Henson (Steve Earle, Oak Ridge Boys, Kathy Mattea). O’Toole’s first single “The Cricket Song” already shot up to #1 on the TRRR and Texas Music Chart this year.
