Dick McVey Records Holly Dunn's New Album [Nashville] – Dick McVey has just completed recording and mixing Holly Dunn's new album, "Full Circle" that will be released this summer. The 10-song album contains six Gospel greats and four Christian-country originals that were written or co-written by Holly. Songs included on the album are: "A Wonderful Savior"; "Sweet Hour Of Prayer"; "I Come To The Garden"; "There's A Call (Send The Light)"; "Softly & Tenderly"; "Revive Us Again"; and originals "Devil Stand Back"; "I Know It's Heaven"; "On The Wings Of An Angel"; and "Where You Are." "I Know It's Heaven" is set to be the first single release from the project and is a song, like "Daddy's Hands", dedicated to the life of her father who passed away a few years ago.. Holly was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, the talented and pretty preacher's daughter burst onto the country music scene in 1986 with the self-penned homage to her Dad, "Daddy's Hands." From that point on, Holly Dunn wrote her own name in the annals of country music history as one of the first female artists to write, produce and run her empire when women were still considered "girl singers," and record labels were still dictating everything from song selection to hair style. Plucked from the obscurity of studio session singer/songwriter in 1985 by MTM Music Group, Holly quickly rose to the top of their fledgling roster by writing and producing three hit albums containing her first six hit singles, two of which were number ones. During her MTM days, Holly also garnered the first of many awards and nominations to come her way. Between 1986 and 1989 when the label closed it's doors due to squabbling amongst the owners, Holly had racked up an impressive three Grammy Award nominations, and brought home the ACM New Female Vocalist Award (1986) and the coveted CMA Horizon Award (1987). However, she wasn't "Dunn" yet! Before she left MTM, she was also named BMI Songwriter Of The Year (1988), and was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry (1989). After MTM, landing a major recording contract with Warner Brothers Records was a snap for the fastest rising star in Nashville. In fact, the president of the label signed her himself. Holly's five years with Warner Brothers continued the upward trajectory of her career, with four hit albums including a greatest hits package called, "Milestones" and two more number one singles. The "Milestones" album was certified Gold shortly after release. Life for a singer at the top of the charts is a blur of press junkets, TV appearances and non-stop touring, with only time off to write and record the next album project. By 1993, Holly had recorded seven albums and played for millions of adoring fans all over the world. She continues to write, record and perform on the road and at the Grand Ole Opry as her legacy continues. In addition to recording, McVey is also Holly's bass player and operates the Musician’s Referral Service and All Star Publicity in Nashville. For
