9/10: Those of you with CMT or CBC don't forget to watch the CCMA's tonite, go Wilks! The Wilkinsons will release a single for BNA soon. They hope for the album to be out in March. One song that they've already cut for it is "I Gotta Get Outta Here"

7/17:
The Wilkinsons have signed with BNA, a division of RCA. Look for a single out in September and a possible album release early next year (maybe around February). When Giant merged with Warner Bro's the Wilkinsons felt it would be a good time to get out, so they left. They are very excited to be a part of this new label and can't wait to work with them. The future is looking great! Way to go Wilks!

Giant Records closed its doors on April 13th. The Wilkinson's (along with other artists) have been switched to Warner Brothers. Rest assured though, Steve said they'll be fine. They have a few other labels looking at them right now too :0) Good luck to them.

Giant Records is no more. The Wilkinson's (as well as all the other Giant artists) will be moved to Warner Brothers.
