Local songwriter has songs recorded by Louisiana Hayride Artist
(Calhoun, GA) Local songwriter Ed Gowens has had several of the songs he
has written, recorded by International recording artist Donna Ray, a member of the famous Louisiana Hayride in Shreveport,
Louisiana.
Gowens has been writing Traditional Country and Country-Gospel songs since
1999. He has written close to 500 songs and has had around 200 songs recorded by various Independent Country and Gospel Artists
from around the world.
Gowens says, "Donna Ray is an awesome artist and is a member of the Louisiana
Hayride in Shreveport, LA. I remember listening to the Hayride on radio when I was a kid and never dreamed that someday my
songs would be recorded by someone as great as new Hayride member, Donna Ray" "She is truly amazing to watch on stage" said
Gowens after a visit to the show in December.
Current owners of the "Louisiana Hayride", Maggie and Alton Warwick have
recently collaborated with Bud & Carol Christian in the production of a series of "Louisiana Hayride" shows, including
the tribute to Claude King, to be highlighted throughout the "60th Anniversary Year of the Louisiana Hayride", which begins
April 2008 to April 2009.
Several of our greatest artists have had their careers launched at the
Louisiana Hayride, including such greats as Elvis Presley, Hank Williams, Johnny Horton and Claude King just to name a few.
Every Sunday afternoon, the lights come up, the music starts and great show is on at the historically famous Municipal Auditorium
and now some of Gowens songs will be performed there by one of Today’s greatest Traditional Country artists, Donna Ray
Gowens wishes to send out a special " thank you" to Bud and
Carol Christian, Maggie and Alton Warwick of the Louisiana Hayride and to Donna Ray for having such a great show.
