Things continue to line up for Dunlap, Tenn., resident Cody McCarver.
In addition to his gig tonight on the Bud Light Stage at Riverbend and another show June 30 at LibertyFest in East Ridge, McCarver has three movie projects in various stages of completion and a CD set for release in late July. The title track, “I Just Might Live Forever,” will be used in a movie tentatively called “Billy the Kid: I Just Might Live Forever.”
McCarver will play a bounty hunter in that film.
He plays the lead in “Cole Younger and the Black Train.” He wrote “Outlaws & Trains,” which will be on that soundtrack as well. That movie is set for release July 31 on DVD, and “Outlaws & Trains” will be included as a free download and the video for it will be included as an extra, McCarver said.
McCarver sponsors a dirt-track car and was inspired to write a song called “Let’s Get Dirty.” After getting positive response from fans, drivers and track owners, he set about looking to get it made into a movie and stumbled across producer Tom Stout, who is making his own film about dirt-track racing called “LA Dirt.”
