Personalize a Digital Gift Card from Cracker Barrel for All the Stars on Your List
Lebanon, Tenn. (December 5, 2011) – For a great gift with no worries ‘if’ it will get there on time, ‘if’ it’s personal enough, or ‘if’ it’s something they can use, choose a Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® digital gift card. With these electronic versions of Cracker Barrel’s traditional plastic gift cards, you can add a personal message and photo, schedule delivery right down to the day and time, and even share it socially on Facebook. And now you can add an image of the Oak Ridge Boys, Wynonna Judd, or Jason Michael Carroll Cracker Barrel CD cover for the music lovers on your list.
“The Oak Ridge Boys are having lots of fun with Cracker Barrel’s digital gift cards,” said Joe Bonsall of The Oak Ridge Boys. “We go to crackerbarrel.com/store/gift-cards/ and order a digital gift card. This is where the fun begins. We then add a personal photo, or select the image of our CD cover, add a message, decide how much we want the card to be worth from $10.00 to $500.00, pick a delivery date, and we’re done. Our friends get the gift of the kind of good country cookin’ that we like to eat when we visit at Cracker Barrel or they can pick out something for themselves from Cracker Barrel’s store. And when they see a picture of our CD on the gift card, it’s a gentle reminder to listen to our music or to buy our CD, It’s Only Natural, which Cracker Barrel recently released through their exclusive music program for one of their friends. I love the way this works!”
Cracker Barrel’s digital gift cards with exclusive music program CD images also include Wynonna Judd and Jason Michael Carroll. Wynonna’s Love Heals CD debuted at #7 on the Billboard Magazine Top Country Albums chart in May 2010. Jason Michael Carroll’s Numbers CD was released in July 2011 with a compilation of songs about everyday life experiences, including “Alyssa Lies,” which reached #5 on the Billboard Country Chart from Carroll’s 2007 album.

Who are The Cleverlys?
The Cleverlys is a well-rounded group of entertainers who bring not just a unique musical experience, but one of the most unique shows that you will see anywhere.
How did the combination of music and comedy start?
I have been doing music and comedy for 20 years. The idea was to marry the two into one act. I wanted to make it funny and, at the same time, have top-shelf musicianship. We want to reach the high-brow and the hokey, crossing all genre and age demographics
When did you realize that this combination, this band, was actually working?
We knew we were onto something when musicians, singers, producers, and people across the globe started reaching out to us.
Where do you get inspiration for your characters?
Our characters come from stereotypes and actual people that we have encountered throughout our life and travels.
You played CMA fest this summer. How did that come about? And what was it like to play LP Field?
Yes, we did! That had more to do with our management than us. Ha ha! We thank Jules Wortman, Joe Sullivan and the folks on the CMA board for working that out. It was a dream come true to be a part of that show and play at LP field for 60,000 people. All I can say is goose bumps on top of goose bumps!
How have the reactions from Bluegrass fans been?
The bluegrass community has totally embraced what we are doing and, in fact, they have been the driving force behind our growing fan base.
You have a shows planned December 17th at the Music and Memories Theatre in Lake City, AR. Will there be more?
For sure! 2011 was our first year touring. We went from coast to coast playing clubs and festivals. We were shocked to see how many Cleverheads traveled from several states away to see our show. We are excited to get back out there in 2012.
You call you fans Cleaverheads. What makes a Cleverhead?
Cleverheads get IT, ALL of IT! They can’t get enough of IT and come hell or high water, will do whatever it takes to come to a show and enjoy IT.
Your CD is about to come out? How has the recording been?
Yes, it will be released December 13th. We wanted to record it in true Cleverly fashion: live, no overdubs, or studio magic. It’s not overproduced, just raw playing. There are a lot of comedy nuggets in there, too. Some things you might not catch the first time you listen.
Does it include the covers you’re now famed for?
Yes, and a couple of originals laced together with comedy. We wanted it to be one of those albums that you listen to from beginning to end. Once you get started, you can’t shut it off.
What can we look forward to from The Cleverlys?
We are working on a DVD series. The first to be released soon. We are currently working on new tunes for the upcoming tour seasons and our next CD.
