Arista Nashville is an American record label that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment, operated under the Sony Music Nashville. Founded in 1989, the label specializes in country music artists, including Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood. The label previously operated three sister labels: Career Records, Arista Austin and Arista Latin . Arista Nashville was founded in 1989 by Tim DuBois. Alan Jackson was the first artist signed to the label. Artists signed to the label within its first five years included Asleep at the Wheel, Exile, Rob Crosby, Steve Wariner, Michelle Wright, Pam Tillis, Brooks & Dunn, Diamond Rio, Lee Roy Parnell, Radney Foster, Blackhawk and The Tractors. Brooks & Dunn and Alan Jackson have remained with the label for the entirety of their careers.
The label founded Arista Texas in 1993, a sub-label specializing in Texas music artists. In 1997, it was split into Arista Austin, which featured Jeff Black, Robert Earl Keen and Abra Moore, and a Spanish-language label called Arista Latin. Foster also moved to Arista Austin from Arista Nashville in 1997.
In 1995, Arista Nashville founded a sister label called Career Records. Parnell was transferred to this label upon its foundation, while Brett James and Tammy Graham were newly signed to it. All three artists moved back to Arista Nashville when Career Records was disestablished. While Graham and James were dropped from it soon afterward, James re-signed to Arista Nashville between 2002 and 2003.
Arista Nashville, Arista Records and 19 Recordings promote and distribute recordings by American Idol winner Carrie Underwood.
In late 2009, Brad Paisley launched a personal label, Sea Gayle, which is distributed through Arista. The label's first signee is Jerrod Niemann

Nashville's 500 year flood non-story
If you happened to be listening to Rush Limbaugh Thursday, you may have heard him read a NewsRealBlog post about the Nashville flood and how the national media has ignored the worst flooding disaster the region has experienced in 500 years. Listen here: Download 03 Thu, May 6th, 2010 Hour 3
That post was written by a good friend that used to write for Illinois Review -- Rhonda Robinson -- who now lives in Tennessee. Rhonda's powerful piece below says it all ...
That does say a lot about our city. There are no mass crime sprees, no mass looting.
But what kind of story is that? The Left loves victims. Victims they can use, that is. Preferably, victims that depended on the government, but the system failed. Therefore, a call for more, bigger, and better government is the topic of choice in a disaster situation of any proportion.
There is no story of the “haves” taking advantage of the “have-nots,” only neighbors and churches and communities across the bible-belt pulling together.
No one is calling for a faster cape-clad Uncle Sam. We’re not blaming Obama, Bush, the Tea Party or any corporation. So what’s a leftist media to cover?
Conclusion—no real story here.

Nashville Flooding: Twitter and YouTube Tell the Story
Mashable May 02 10
Nashville and other parts of Tennessee were hit by the region’s greatest rainfall in recorded history this weekend, resulting in a severe flood that has devastated and even swept away buildings and cars.
The 20 inches of rain have turned interstate highways into veritable rivers, submerged neighborhoods and broken dams. Power outages have affected 36,000 homes. Thankfully, the casualties haven’t been as ubiquitous as the damage. The flood has been ongoing for two days, and so far eleven deaths have been confirmed.
