 Lonestar - Though their name might lead you to
believe that
Lonestar was formed in Texas, the quintet actually hails
from Tennessee. Originally called Texassee,
Lonestar
features
Richie McDonald (lead vocals, guitar),
John Rich (lead vocals, bass), Michael Britt (lead
guitar, background vocals), Dean Sams (keyboard, background
vocals), and Keech Rainwater (drums). All the members are in
fact Texas natives --
Lonestar just formed in Tennessee in 1992.
In 1993,
Lonestar played their first concert at Backstage Pass in
Nashville in January of 1993. A booking agent happened to
hear the show. Impressed, he added the group to his roster,
and the group headed out on the road. Over the next two
years, they played nearly 500 shows. In 1994, the group
landed a record contract with BNA Records. The following
year they released their eponymous debut, which spawned the
Top Ten hit "Tequila Talkin'." Crazy Nights followed in
1997, and two years later
Lonestar returned with Lonely Grill, which featured the
hit "Amazed." Their seasonal effort This Christmas Time
followed in fall 2000, and I'm Already There appeared the
next spring.
Lonestar released two more records after their 2003
Greatest Hits compilation From Here to There, 2004's Let's
Be Us Again and 2005's Coming Home. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
