Promotional Info
200 station national radio promotion by Todd Glazer Promotions

This year is the 25th Anniversary of Al Basile's Sweetspot label, and B's Time is its 20th release. B's Time is a career retrospective, featuring 17 songs from Al’s solo CDs, remastered using the most up-to-date technology by Glenn Halverson at his Sonic Hill Studio in Ooltawah, Tennessee. The songs have never sounded so good, and many are from releases early in Al's career, before he became much better known following his 8 Blues Awards nominations starting in 2010. Though they originate from a 25 year span, they sound completely contemporary, showing that Al’s work is timeless, and that his output has been remarkably consistent since the beginning. 200 station national radio promotion by Todd Glazer Promotions 4-6 month publicity campaign by Mark Pucci Media Print ads in Living Blues and Blues Music Magazine CD Sampler cut in Relix Magazine, additional online ads with Rock&Blues International.
