In addition to releasing the single, the duo announced that they had started their own record label, Big & Rich Records, which will handle the release of this album.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Big & Rich Forms New Label, Prepare New Album and Single )〕 ==Overview== With the release of ''Hillbilly Jedi'' in 2012, Big & Rich were once again working as a duo after a lengthy hiatus. In mid 2013, the duo had unofficially begun work on a followup. News was sporadic, with John Rich posting updates on his Twitter feed about the recording process. He mentioned having "cut ten songs" in July, whilst also making note of the fact that he and Big Kenny "actually agreed on something in the studio."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Are You Ready For A New Big & Rich Album? « Country Music News, Artists, Interviews – US99.5 )〕 Big & Rich kept the project on a small scale, only previewing the music for their label Warner Bros. Nashville, who claimed that it was their "best material since ''Horse of a Different Color.''"〔 On January 28, 2014, the album was officially announced along with the release of the album's debut single, "Look at You" and the news that the duo had parted ways with Warner Bros. in favor of a self-owned record label. Big & Rich posted a video detailing their new single and record label on their YouTube channel in February, claiming that they wanted to control the release schedule of their music so they could "cut a song and have it in the fans' hands the next day." After amicably parting ways with Warner Bros., the duo worked at their own pace and completed the album. In a solo interview, Big Kenny mentioned that having complete control of their musical endeavors would allow the duo to "see what's working and what isn't," as well as to release the album when they see fit. Kenny also made mention of a duet with Tim McGraw that might appear on the album.〔 On July 28, the duo officially announced the release date of the album through their Facebook page.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Big & Rich - Cover Photos - Facebook )〕 The track listing and cover art were revealed the same day in a press release on BigandRich.com.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Big & Rich - New Single Available Now! :: News )〕 In an exclusive interview with Nashville.com, Big & Rich shared their thoughts on the album and their decision to start an independent record label. Of the lead single "Look at You," Rich said that the song "was written by Shannon Lawson and myself. Shannon is a Musik Mafia guy from way back and really a phenomenal singer. We had this idea. I said “have you ever broken up with a girl, you go down to the bar and you’re single again, and you see her? She’s looking hotter than she’s ever looked before on purpose, she’s doing shots and other guys are looking at her. That happened to me every time I ever broke up with anybody” and I said, “That’s what I want to write about.”" "Lovin' Lately," the duet with Tim McGraw, was confirmed as the follow-up single due to be released in late 2014. The duo said that their decision to strike it out on their own was the result of Warner Bros. Nashville's schedule not allowing for ''Gravity'' to be released until 2015 at the earliest. Rather than have the project shelved, Big & Rich opted to start their label and release the album sooner. Of the decision to form their own label, Kenny said that "it’s the kind of thing we believed in ten years ago as the Musik Mafia. Just anyway to get the music out there."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Big & Rich « Nashville.com )〕 After an incredible run in which the first release "Look At You" stayed on the country charts for over 40 weeks, the second release was then determined to be "Run Away With You", a song John Rich had co-written with Michael Ray (winner on "The Next" reality show which was co-hosted by Rich). "Run Away With You" was slated to be sent to radio stations on January 19, 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gravity (Big & Rich album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
