The video for this new Wilkinsons song has just been released, and it says it's from the album Highway. With the Amanda Wilkinson solo song "Gone From Love Too Long" still not having an adds date listed, I wonder if she's decided not to pursue a solo career after all, and concentrate on The Wilkinsons again.

Very interesting indeed! GFLTL has been hovering around #50 the past few weeks. I wonder if her solo album has been shelved and GFLTL will appear on "Highway" instead.

some more information about "Highway"
from universalcountry:
December 1, 2003
THE WILKINSONS JOIN OPEN ROAD RECORDINGS Open Road Recordings is pleased to announce that Grammy-nominated, Juno award winning country family, The Wilkinsons will be joining the label with their third album, Highway, slated for a February 10 release. Originally hailing from Trenton, Ontario The Wilkinsons have called Nashville home since 1997. Father Steve and siblings Amanda and Tyler released their debut album "Nothing But Love" (1998) and follow-up "Here and Now" (2000) to critical and commercial acclaim. "Highway" is sure to follow the lead of its predecessors. A strong collection of 14 memorable country tunes supported by The Wilkinsons' signature harmonies, it is poised to enjoy praise from fans and critics alike.
Open Road Recordings seemed like a natural fit for The Wilkinsons who will be releasing "Highway" exclusively in Canada. "We are absolutely thrilled with the opportunity to work with Open Road Recordings" Steve, Amanda
and Tyler said. American fans can look forward to Amanda's debut solo release on Universal South next spring.
The Wilkinsons will launch "Highway" with the infectious first single"L.A." which hits radio in early January. Watch for the accompanying video, shot by award-winning director Steven Goldmann (Faith Hill, Shania Twain, Brooks & Dunn, Alan Jackson) debuting today on CMT. The band will hit the Canadian highway in the new year for a national tour. Open Road Recordings, also home to Doc Walker and Jason McCoy, is part of the MapleCore Ltd. family, a company that works with Canadian artists and businesses to create new opportunities through the effective application of technology. Open Road Recordings, distributed by Universal Music Group, represents MapleCore's strong commitment to showcasing Canadian talent around the world.
Why would "Highway" be a Canadian only release? Haven't they done well in the US also?

If that isn't confusing I don't know what is. You can only buy the album in Canada of the Wilkinson's but they are going to play the video on CMT. Amanda is also simultaneously putting out a solo album in the US. Yeesh!  |

I heard KZLA play Amanda's song yesterday. It's alright, I didn't really like it on first listen. She's part of their KZLA Class of 2004.
