DESCRIPTION:
Singer/songwriter Rebecca Lynn Howard will be the first artist on Direct Holdings Americas Inc.'s newly launched record label, Saguaro Road Records. Direct Holdings also markets and sells audio and video entertainment products under the Time Life trademark, which it uses under license from Time Warner Inc. The Nashville-based Howard, who has written songs for Trisha Yearwood, Reba McEntire and Patty Loveless, will release No Rules on June 17th.

Already a successful songwriter at the young age of 28, Howard's new album reflects her dynamic creative growth that began with penning songs for some of country music's biggest artists while most of her peers were still in college. She then put her talents to use for herself and ended up with her own Top 5 album, Forgive, in 2002. Now, with No Rules, recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Howard seamlessly combines rhythm and blues, rock, country, Americana and a few other genres. "I've delighted in growing my songwriting over the past couple of years," explains Howard. "It's allowed me the opportunity to take my experiences in country music to branch out into other genres. I've learned that in the world of great music there are no rules."
