Rick Hendrix-CEO-Hendrix Group
Nashville,Tn - Driving into the city limits of Nashville, TN, instead of reveling in the sights along historic Natchez Trace Parkway, I wondered what I would find once I arrived to interview one of the foremost figures in the music scene today, Mr. Rick Hendrix of the Rick Hendrix Company. When I was asked by USA Today to write a piece on Hendrix in the mid 90's I chose to attend Woodstock instead. (Almost a decade later, I have refined my ideas of "a good story.") The continual decay and fall in sales for Christian music has intrigued me, and I was hoping for some answers. From the horse's mouth, as it were.
Imagine my surprise when I was greeted, not by a man in a three piece suit, but an energetic young fella in blue jeans and sneakers. Full of enthusiasm, Hendrix showed me around his office, humming with contented chatter broken only by the ringing of several telephone lines. Hendrix ushered me out to the back patio with tall glasses of fresh lemonade, another departure from the norm for my interviews. I was here to find out what was so mysterious about this young man. And what drives him to ride the emotional roller coaster as he had for 15 years in an ever changing music industry. This, I told myself, with surprise, eyeing the gorgeous autumn afternoon, was actually going to be fun.
KD: Rick who are some of your clients currently?
RH: We work with Hoskins, Hoppers, Martins, Freemans ,Dottie Rambo, Ruppes, Heirline, Nicole Watts Jenkins, Sondra Burnett, Alan Jackson, George Jones, Brad Paisley, Diamond Rio, Reba ,Mariah Carey.........shall I keep going (laughs Hendrix)
KD: What is it, exactly, that you do?
RH:
KD: Why do you work Christian music?
RH: Always, from when I was a kid, this is what I wanted to do. He opened doors for me when I was still in the proverbial short pants, really. Looking back, every step led me here, and leads me on today.When I was homeless, I promised God to always lift real people up,and to never stop pushing a positive message.Alot of prayers went up form that ole box I called home. (Looking around later, I saw Hendrix keeps a box in his office to remind him where he came from.)
KD: Rick I cant help but notice you have amassed a lot of success for a young man.What do you attribute to your continued success?
RH: NO- God has amassed a lot of success.Many souls and prayers have been answered with this company. Many dreams along the way, for myself and about 600 artist.I am very humbled by his continued flow over our company.I dedicate myself to my clients and their needs and success.We pray for every project we do,if it be Mariah Carey or the Hoskins-We give it to God and we ask for direction. He never fails when we ask for the right reasons.
KD: Does it all come back to the music?
RH: Nope. It all comes back to God.
KD: What are some of the highlights of your career behind the scenes?
RH: We just celebrated our 1000th hit song.In all music it would be the Grammy for "Go Rest High on the Mountain" Vince Gill and the Oscar for "When You Believe" Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey,
I also cherish when my hometown gave me the key to the city and the former NC Gov. Jim Martin made a special day for me, President Clinton gave me a Cultural Ambassador Award. I have had several Dove nominations for songs I have written.We as a company helped Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Diamond Rio, Lonestar, Lifehouse, Creed, Lee Ann Womack, Crabb Family, Martins, Ruppes, Steeles, Tony Gore, New Hinsons and many others score their first hits. So, its really hard to highlight all of God blessing in a paragraph.But those are the goodies. (Hendrix high five's one of his business partners Shane Jordan and laughs) "I feel like a cheerleader for the varsity team,"-stated Kellie Cartelli (Hendrix personal assistant)
KD: You just finished writing a book with your mother Donna Hendrix.Can you share a little about "Mama's Letters to Jesus" ?
RH: Oh wow.My mother and father are the greatest.When my home burned down Christmas 2000-Mom had sent me some things, to replace my loss. Inside this box, by mistake, my dad had placed my moms journals.I stopped and sit down and read all night-It was the most emotional trip, I had ever been on.I knew she was the greatest mom, that I could have ever had. She suffered, great pains and loss,and never burdened us kids with them. She always wrote letters to Jesus in her diaries.I can't wait for the world to read them.
As this interview continues,I find myself more interested in Rick Hendrix the man, than I do the task at hand. Why is Christian music declining?What is record promotions?As the lemonade warms, and the ice melts away in my glass, I tell Hendrix, "Its time for the real questions."
KD: I feel I know you a little better at this point.Why is Christian music starting to drop after a continued growth spurt for several years?
RH: Christian music cannot be classified as only Christian radio and media anymore. You find major networks shooting pilots for Christian based sitcoms for prime-time, the consumer doesn't have to just hear gospel music from Bill Gaither or McKameys anymore, major artist and retailers are carrying gospel tunes by Alan Jackson, Clay Walker, Mariah Carey, Diamond Rio etc.The sides have dropped off the box and we are finding huge growth in popularity but inside the small circles gospel music has pond up-they are losing the war. A major secular album runs unit sales at 1 to 3 million. A major gospel record anymore is lucky to pull 25,000 units total.Thats not downplaying our industry-its educating ourselves-we are reaching the same people and we are flooding the market with too many new clients and not enough good ones.
KD: Do you feel downloads and file sharing has filtered into gospel music?
RH: In a big way-I feel it has really hurt the industry. I think marketing is so important at this point in our genre.We are finding more pirated products and fraudulent downloading than ever before." More people are willing to market the artist products - at any cost. "I feel the only way to fix our short falls is to meet it head on, educating the consumer about the downloads and file sharing, spending more time making the artist more personal with the public. Most people wouldn't steal from a friend. So, I feel if you place your clients and artist into the hearts of the consumer and make the music business more personal to the consumer and not the big giant most people feel it is. You can at least slow down the sharing.
KD: Over the last several years, record promotions have been hit hard with ugly accusations, not just in Christian music, but in secular as well. How has this affected you?
RH: It hasn't. I mean, there's always "talk", always. That's not going to change. Maybe it's a little different on the Christian side. I have friends in radio, people who are part of my extended family. In Gospel, I think the major difference is, we care about each other. It's not a numbers game. You'll always have the petty sniping and the "he said - she said". It's not pretty, and it doesn't make any of us look good, but it is, for better or worse, what being a family looks like sometimes. Radio is not easy, and it creates a lot of jealousy for artist and labels when we do well. And the greatest defense for them is to discredit someone else. But, God sees the real picture and that's where we lean, not in retaliating.
KD: I am going to put you on the spot. Who are the best record promoters, excluding yourself ?
RH: (Hendrix unafraid-smiles) By far the most influential and Godly would be Buffi Holland at Spring Hill , another great aggressive promoter is Jeff O'Neal of Heritage Communications, Shane Ferrell at Lighthouse Promotions, Matt Galvin of Arista Records, DJ Man Phillip Emery, Pat Payne of MCA Records Nashville are all dear friends of mine and I would recommend them to anyone looking for help.They are a few more, but....Did you say a petty list? (Hendrix manager smiles and says Hendrix be nice)
KD: How do record promoters work, and is there payola?
RH: (Hendrix belly laughs) If I hear those words one more time, I am going to scream. This is the funniest thing I have ever heard. Just because there is success doesn't mean there is sin. Record promoters can have success for their clients and labels without being unethical. I have personally never heard of but maybe one promoter in gospel music that paid radio off. They are not effective. I have not seen any of their artist charting. And they have been around for 30 years or more. I ask any client that hears of any unethical practice to call the stations themselves and ask if anything has happened concerning their music. And not listen to talk. We have the worst industry for gossip. Insecurities and lack of success breed a lot of untruth.
KD: My last question.Where is it all going and what do you think will happen to Gospel music?
RH: That's not a hard answer to give you. Nothing is easy. The world is a harder place to live and function in daily. We have too much. We have to plan time for family, we have to plan time to eat, we have to plan time to breath.But, we get it done. Or we shift it to another day or change our want's. Thats what will happen for Gospel music. We will either fix our current problems,or we will learn to function with the changes. So, if our sales drop, we cut budgets and cost. If we loss radio stations and retailers, we advertise to get more.If we continue to be consumed by corporate America. We go back out into the trenches and we cultivate more ground. We cannot stop at opposition and decreases. We have to make the increase. Sure we are losing ground, But, everybody is. The Internet was the greatest invention at segregating reality. Everything is available with a few typed words. WWW. is the cleft notes of life. Get the goods fast at who evers cost.
KD: WOW-now that's another story!
RH: You think(As he reads his palm pilot and laughs)
As I got up to leave, I realized Gospel music will be OK. I also felt I will be OK, in an ever changing world.We have to remember the basics. Be real, be serious, and think of others. I could hear the guys in the office cheering and screaming, another artist had just reached number one for them. The Hoskins Family"When the Savior Wipes the Tears from Our Eyes" had reached number one in the USGN Charts .I could hear in Hendrix voice after 15 years of dedication to the music industry,he was still ambitious, hungry and willing to fight to win.

This was a great article. The industry needs alot more Rick Hendrix~ Good Intervie!
John,
RICKY- Way to go boss man.Tell me the other list of bad promoters
Great article! I am glad to see the article written about someone who works so hard and stands with Integrity. Rick is a wonderful person and really has a heart to help people. I am so glad Rick is not only a friend of mine but family. Love you!
Rick is really an awsome guy! If you know him, you know that he would never let anyone down and he would do anything to help somebody in need. Rick, you are quite a guy! See you soon!
Making my way from topic to topic, board to board, I discovered this article on Rick. Great article, well written and well deserved compliments. I have to be careful how I word this, but can say without reservation (giving God full credit of course) that without Rick and Shane's input and guidance, Sondra's ministry and exposure would not be what it is at this point. Not only am I impressed at Rick's ability and accomplishments professionally, but if you truly take the time to get to know him, you will find so much more...as the article alluded to.
Shannon,
Excellent interview!
Rick Hendrix is not only an aesome promoter he's an honorabe and trusted fried.This industry needs more people like him to tell it like it is.AWSOME AWSOME!!!!! Interview. Dane H.
I have a BIG problem here.I crossed this story, while searching on this subject.So, are you telling me,that Christian radio is facing, the same headaches with PAY FOR PLAY that secular radio continues to face? I am a small man on the ladder.But, I have never been approached by labels and record promoters to pay me off. I know it happens.Whats different? Every job has incentives.What is ethical and unethical?
Wonderful story! In my opinion they dont come any better than Mr Rick Hendrix. What a friend he has been to me. I just met him like 2 maybe 3years ago but he has made such a difference in my life. It is like you can just see God smiling (big time) down on Rick.

James,
We love you and all the New Plainsmen. You all are true friends. But hey I am partial since I am from the south also. Great article! Its good to see Rick get some of the recognition he deserves. He is one of the best promoters in the industry, not to mention one of the nicest guys I know. That's not always an easy mix, but he pulls it off with ease ( and a lot of help from Shane
) Way to go, guys! Keep up the good work.
After reading this article, I was even more assured of how great a guy Rick is. Gospel music could use a few more like him!
Ireally enjoyed your article. You are really what Christian Music needs. Thanks for the hard work. I think you really deserve the recognition you get. Keep up the good work. Gary (TBF) :thumbsup:

Wow. I have not had the chance to meet Rick personally. However, just in my posts with him on here and with this story, I know that he is a great man of God. Stay grounded buddy and fight the good fight! I pray that one day I will get to meet you in person!
Great Article! Right on Rick. I've know Rick for a long time and he knows more about the business than anyone I know.
I enjoyed reading all of the nice things people said about my brother, Rick. He always puts everyone else first. In his interview, he mentioned our Mother's journals and how she suffered. When Rick left home at an early age to become famous, he suffered alot,too. He struggled and fought to survive; just to prove to everyone that he would make it big one day. He suffered in silence, too. It makes me sad to know he done without. I love him so much. I don't ever want him to suffer and hurt, again. I wish everyone could have a brother like mine.
The article was great! Rick is one of the greatest people I know... He's kind, funny, an excellent promoter, great dad, and

Let me tell you all, Rick is one of the most tenacious men in the business. He actually crawled under a fence after hours to get a project he was promoting for me submitted to the GMA for Dove award consideration. Guess what? We got the nomination. You da man Rick! :thumbsup:

This was a great story. I would like to know some actual sales figures for Southern. I know they are way off from secular, but it would be interesting to know. Also, if I have a group how can I contact Rick to possibly see about him helping me? Anyone know?
Hey Matt we would love to talk with you. Give us a call at 615-662-4848. Thanks man,
Hey Rick and Shane,

Great to see the article on Mr. Rick Hendrix. He has encouraged us in our ministry with his kind words, and he inspires us all in his stand for gospel music - and he is a good songwriter - and I have great respect for anyone with that gift!
Michael,
Oh Michael I forgot to say
I am proud of you. Thanks for giving us the good songs to play.You are a friend to radio.
Hey Rick, as you know there have been some pretty awesome comments about you and the job you do. It is such a shame that you have accomplished this much but still can't call yourself a TEXAN like Shane and myself. Just rest assured we will continue to pray that someday you can add that to your resume. LOL.
Billy,
Rick,
Rick Hendrix has been an inspiration to me. I am thankful our industry has someone like him. He takes the punches for what he believes in and gives God the glory.Way to go.I am honored to call you my friend. :thumbsup:
Mr. Hendrix was recently named Man of the Year by the National Volunteer's Association. I LOVE Rick Hendrix. He is a real heart and hands on kind of guy. I met him in Washington DC last year during a volunteer ceremony. I am here in his office for a week to help organize Thanksgiving for the Nashville Homeless.Every year Hendrix feeds over 50 homeless and 26 families.He is not only a dear man -he is a praying man. God does shine on his face-as a guy said in the comments above.Many of paths he has laid for many people. Cause God laid one for him. He is like a brother to me and my family.
THANKSGIVING HELP-We need volunteers near Nashville,TN Anyone available??
Eddie Crook, Beckie Simmons,Pam Furr,Buffi Holland are all very giving souls in our industry.All of these people I know have gone to bat for folks many times financially and personally.I thank you for the nice things Boz.I am sure many names could be added to this list .
This was a great story. I love George Jones Gospel Collection. I especially like the song with Vestal. I would tell anyone to buy this album. It's GREAT!!
Jackie,
Yes- George is really excited about the album. We all have our fingers crossed for a possible Grammy and Dove nomination for this project.And a win. Any GMA members or NARAS members feel free to call or email our office for more info on how you can help George Jones.And thanks Jackie, Boz, Sean ,Donna, Billy, Randy for the nice comments.
THANK YOU RICK FOR HELPING PSALM 101 GETTING GOOD AIR PLAY.YOU HAVE A JESUS FILLED DAY.
Rick Hendrix has been a great inspiration to me and my family. I am proud of you and love you. Thanks for all the things you have done for my situations.God Bless you-
Dear Rick,
I appreciate everything you have done for the Hoskins Family's ministry. You have such a passion to reach souls for Jesus Christ. My heart was so touched when I read that you still kept a box in your office to remind you of where God has brought you from. Oh, if only every human being on the face of this earth could have that perception of life ~ this world would be a different place. God bless you abundantly, Janine Mahalick (Jim Mahalick's Mom)
Mr.Hendrix,
Rick this is a great story.I am really proud of you and hope to see you continue to do well.Thanks for all you do.
Rick Hendrix is my buddy. I trust him fully and admire his gifts. The industry of Southern Gospel music is honored to have him around.
:cool: Dear Rick and Shane:
Rick is a wonderful person to work with and he does so much for his community. It is really great to see that God has blessed him so much. The best part about it all is that Rick always give the glory back to God.
Rick, what a great story. Southern Gospel Music is the greatest music in the world and you make sure the best gets heard. Thank you for that. I really appreciate your dedication. God has so blessed you with the "gift of gab" and I believe you put it to good use. You instantly make people feel welcome and comfortable when you meet them. That is another gift. Thank you for sharing your talents with The Southern Gospel Music Industry. We are blessed. Let me comment on Shane, one of my favorites. I've chatted with him online and talked with him on the phone, but after meeting you two at NQC, I knew I was in the right company. I trust you two and it is my prayer that God continues to bless your ministry. Rick, I'm glad to call you a friend and I look forward to a long friendship and working relationship. Thank you so much for all you've already done for this small Gospel artist down in Alabama.
Great story. I pray for your family and friends to always do well.Now you need Mark Lowery.

I pray for you regularly. And by the way, with a voice like that, I wish you were available for an air shift! Take care! Candi Freeland, Music Director, WVHM-FM Hardin KY.
LOL- I worked with Little Ricky Hendrix at WSPF Radio in Hickory,NC. he was the afternoon DJ.He had that same voice,coming out of that little body.At least the body has grown to accommodate the voice.Rick I am really proud of you.May you have many more dreams come true.You have made a lot of people smile.See you next time in Nashville
What makes a good promoter?What makes a bad promoter? I hired a radio agent,she called on my song,she provided reports,and I never saw any real growth.I have heard mixed reviews about all promoters.What is the real deal? What is payola exactly?
Hey Candi,
Barb- HEY gurl-Thank you-I always enjoyed doing the radio shows with you.THANK you for coming to town and helping out with the homeless Thanksgiving.You guys be safe.And come see me again soon.
:cool: Rick Hendrix is the coolest. I have known Rick for a number years. I count him a dear friend and deserves all the good things he gets. He is true friend to radio. If you want it done right, Rick will do it. His roster tells you everything.
