Several country albums slated for an early 2004 release have been delayed. Scotty Emerick's The Coast Is Clear has
been bumped from Jan. 27 to June, and Mary Chapin Carpenter's Between Here and Gone has been postponed until April
27. In addition, releases from newcomers James Otto ("Days of Our Lives") and bluegrass singer Alecia Nugent have changed
release dates from February to March 9. As previously reported, Clint Black's Spend My Time is now due March 2, a month
later than previously expected.
