» Golden/Nashville Closes:
 Golden Music CEO Noel Gordon has announced the label's Nashville division has closed.
"For three long years we've worked really hard and gone through an enormous amount of resources, and it saddens me to finally admit to myself that it's time Golden Music cut its losses and move on," Golden says.
"We simply do not have the leverage required in today's world to get our music played on Country radio, and the amount of money it takes to work an act no longer makes business sense.
So we've decided to follow the footsteps of a few other labels and close our doors.
As for our two acts, Williams Riley and Benton Blount, we wish them luck and better success, as they are both amazing artists and deserve a chance to have their music heard."
