Wynonna, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson are sending their fans to Target to shop. Willie and Kris will contribute two songs each to new albums that the retail outlet is releasing in late February. Other artists on this album will include Carole King, Burt Bacharach and Richard Marx. Wynonna has been asked to pick an album’s worth of tunes highlighting the songs and artists that had a significant impact on her career. Among additional artists pulling together influences for other albums are Sarah McLachlan and The Dave Matthews Band. Target has formed an alliance with 180 Music to create this new exclusive line of adult contemporary music that it’s calling “The Spotlight Music Series.” Within the series there are three groups – Features, Influences and Red Mix. There will be 15 albums released to nearly 15-hundred Target stores nationwide.
