Additionally, plans are afoot for an all-star album that would have singers and songwriters that knew Clement finishing and recording unfinished songs that he left behind. Clement died in 2013 at age 82, just a few months after being named as an inductee into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Further Clement-related projects could be in the works down the road, but the film and album will be the initial focus in a deal made between the late producer-songwriter’s family, represented by daughter Alison Clement, and Visionary Media Group, a still fairly...

“Creatives move to Nashville because of our sense of community, level of talent and respect for their talents,” Brown tells Variety. “A multi-media company will financially benefit content creators, which will then allow them to thrive here for years to come. I have always cared...
