(PRWEB) February 15, 2008 -- Choosing to pursue a career in Nashville over accepting any one of several college baseball scholarships right out of high school, Sammy Sadler (www.sammysadler.com )was a rising country music star on top of the world at the age of 21. Signed to Evergreen Records, he was riding high in 1989 with a total of six charting singles--including a memorable cover of Aaron Neville's "Tell It Like It Is"--and was in the process of recording his first full-length album. Then, in a horrifying shooting tragedy that would become known around the world as the "Murder on Music Row," Sadler was seriously wounded and his friend Kevin Hughes killed. The case remained unsolved for 13 years but eventually, Hughes' associate at the famed industry publication Cashbox was convicted of murder. While he became an unwitting footnote to the dark side of country music history, Sadler was determined not to let the incident dictate his future. Sadler never lost his desire to get back in the studio and become a recording artist--a dream he finally realized with the 2004 release of his debut album Hard On A Heart, which spawned three popular country singles including "I Know A Place" and "That Ole Gravel Road."
