Chanteur
Country US né le 7 Janvier 1974 ŕ Amarillo (Texas). John Rich fut leader des Lonestar.
Born in
Amarillo, TX, singer/songwriter John Rich had his first taste of success in
Nashville as the lead singer for Lonestar.
He left the band amid some turmoil after the release of its second album, and
headed into the studio to make a record of his own. The resulting Underneath
the Same Moon — which featured collaborations with
Sara Evans, the Fairfield Four, and
Delbert McClinton, as well as his future songwriting partner from
Big & Rich, Kenny Alphin (aka
Big Kenny)
— was finished and unfortunately shelved in 1998. Meanwhile,
Big Kenny had
recorded his own solo album, Live a Little, only to see it suffer the
same fate as Underneath the Same Moon. With no solo album to support, the
two songwriters funneled their energies into
Big & Rich, which became a popular country duo during the 2000s. Years later,
Rich's success with Alphin renewed interest in his solo album, prompting BNA
Records to officially release Underneath the Same Moon in March of 2006.
Rich spent the following year hosting his own reality TV show, Gone Country,
and touring in support of Big & Rich's
third studio album. Meanwhile, he found time to further his solo career with
Son of a Preacher Man, which marked his second solo record upon its release
in early 2009.
After getting that album out of his system, Rich released the single “Country
Done Come to Town" as a precursor to the harder-edged, party-down sound of of
his 2010 full-length, Rich Rocks, which more fully recalls the early days of Big
& Rich.
