Big Kenny of "Big and Rich" fame was on Fox and Friends this morning talking up his new CD and the special materials it's made of. The physical packaging of the release is full of "flower power" as the packaging is made of 100% compostable materials including a variety of Big Kenny's favorite perennial wild flowers.

Big Kenny says, "I grew up in Culpepper, VA on a farm where we worked endless hours tilling the land, planting seeds of variety to make a living and to help people sustain. I have always wanted to do this with my music and I feel the 'the whole experience' from the audio and visual side brings more impact and can connect the fan to the music. What better way to do this than provide a beautiful display of wild flowers that grew out of music? I can't wait to see the impetus of music create a global display of flower power. The power of music is so strong and with that as the seed, we just don't know what kind of garden we will create."

In the accompanying videos, Big Kenny explains how to plant your "musical garden". Please visit http://bigkenny.tv/preorder for unique and playful descriptions on how to share the love of music through an eco-friendly sensibility.

ABOUT THE PACKAGING:
The packaging is a partnership between Glotown/Love Everybody/Bigger Picture and Molded Fiber, a UFP Technologies brand. Since 1991, Molded Fiber has specialized in the design and production of packaging from recycled material. Although the demand for recycled packaging has been growing for years, it is only recently that manufacturing techniques and innovative design ideas have led to the ability to embed seeds in both fold up cartons and traditional molded parts. Special designs also allow for the production of cartons that can fold without the use of glues. All of these features lead to a truly closed-loop, recycled package that can planted in the ground and produce flowers and plants.

Within 2-3 weeks, flowers should germinate! Flowers are a mixture of: Cornflower Dwarf, Siberian Wallflower, Farewell to Spring Dwarf, Chinese Houses, Dwarf Lance Leaf Coreopsis, Dwarf Plains Coreopsis, Chinese Forget Me Not, Sweet Williams, African Daisy, California Poppy, Annual Baby's Breath, Candytuft, Blue Flax, Alyssum, Baby Blue Eyes, California Bluebells & Catchfly. This formula is specifically designed so that flowers return year after year.
