To purchase the music, please go to www.shoptna.com or www.iTunes.com. “REDNECK ISLAND” is set on a remote tropical paradise, where the host will guide the contestants through a number of hilarious mental and physical challenges resulting in teammates sending one competitor home each episode.

“Cowboy” James Storm says, “I love my entrance music and to see the response we have been getting with the video and the song at country radio, I am digging this stuff. But, when I got word that they are using it for the ‘REDNECK ISLAND’ theme, now, that is really cool. I really appreciate the fact that it is being so well received and thank Serg Selinas and Dale Oliver for the kick-a** music.” Storm continues, “And on another note, I hung out with Steve Austin in Nashville last night and we had a ball.”

For the first time, TNA Knockout Music has serviced the song “Longnecks and Rednecks” to country radio and is already receiving a lot of interest. “We have so many outlets to cross promote our brand and our product,” says TNA President Dixie Carter. “We feel we have created a great theme for “Cowboy” James Storm and feel that there is a lot of potential here with the single, the video, Spike TV and our various social media platforms to really push this promotion to the masses,” she continued.
