Rock & Sock Records
- announced today that their recording artist, Tokyo Rosenthal, was selected to be included on the upcoming compilation CD, "Now That's AmericanaOK". The selected track, to be one of fifteen on the album, is "We Planted Seeds" from Rosenthal's chart breaking release "Love Won Out". 

The compilation is the brain child  of Americana icon Tom Fahey who hosts and produces the internationally syndicated radio program "AmericanaOK". It will feature fifteen different Americana artists from the best the genre has to offer.
 
"When we first heard the Tokyo Rosenthal CD 'Love Won Out' we were at first intrigued and then delighted by the eclectic mix of styles", said Tom Fahey. "It quickly became a favourite generating a great audience reaction.  So you can imagine our pleasure when 'Toke' contributed a track to the forthcoming AmericanaOK compilation, 'Now That's AmericanaOK'. This will help to spread the word about Tokyo Rosenthal, the other 14 contributors, the show and the Americana genre generally.  Tom Fahey presenter and producer of AmericanaOK is proud have Tokyo Rosenthal on board."
 
"I'm so honoured to be on this record with all these great artists", said Rosenthal. "Some I know from the road and the rest I hope to meet soon and perhaps put on one big show together. Thanks to Tom Fahey for such a fine idea."
