Toby Keith

Toby Keith has been a famous country singer for many years now. He first got his start in country music in 1993. He is a singer/songwriter that has spent the last 18 consecutive years on the top of the charts. In 2001, he was named the Academy of Country Music Awards' Male Vocalist of the Year and named his album, "How Do You Like Me Now?!", album of the year. Also, in 2006, Toby Keith started his own company, "Show Dog Nashville", and released the label's first record, "White Trash With Money", soon after. He has made several cameos in shows such as, "Touched by an Angel". Toby Keith's 15th and newest album, "Bullets In The Gun", will be released next Tuesday. This album brings together everything from his previous albums and in a sense, clarifies it.

Tim McGraw

Tim McGraw is not only one of the most famous country singers; he is one of the biggest names in all of music today. He has sold over 40 million albums and has had over 30 number one singles. His debut album came out in 1993 and ever since then he has won 3 Grammys, 14 Acadamey of Country Music Awards, 11 Country Music Association Awards, and 10 American Music Awards. He has also starred in movies such as, "Flicka" and "The Blind Side". Tim McGraw's tenth album, "Southern Voice", was released in 2009 and tells "unforgettable stories of lives lived and lessons learned, and reveal a man staring down what it means to be a father, a husband, a Southerner."

Justin Moore

Justin Moore is one of the rising stars in country music. His songs, like "Small Town USA" and "How I Got To Be This Way", portray the small town he came from and what helped to shape him into the man and artist he is today. His first and only album was released in 2009 and describes "the basic but unbendable truths of a place where your word is your bond, elders are respected and bullies are put in their place". Justin also wrote nine of the ten songs on his debut album, one of which, "Small Town USA", soon became a top 15 hit. His rising success helped him to go on tour with other artists such as Trace Adkins and Hank Williams, Jr.

Kenny Chesney

Kenny Chesney is one of the more famous country singers and his many of his songs are about the emotional experiences he has gone through. Kenny has made 16 albums and has had more than 30 top ten singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs Charts. Throughout the life of his career in country music he has received many awards from the Academy of Country Music, Country Music Association, American Music Awards, Country Music Television, Billboard Music Awards, People's Choice Awards, and even the French Country Music Awards. Kenny Chesney has won 4 Entertainer of the Year awards 4 years in a row. His new song "The Boys of Fall" was released August of this year and his new album "Hemingway's Whiskey" will be released September 28th of this year as well.

Rascal Flatts

Rascal Flatts are another one of my many favorites. Rascal Flatts consists of three guys, Jon Don Rooney, Gary Levox, and Jay Demarcus. Since their entrance into the music world in 1999, they have placed 10 #1 singles and 20 top tens and every one of their studio albums have gone multi-platnium. Their newest album "Unstoppable" was released in 2009 and has been a big hit so far. All their songs are powerful and relatable. They talk about real life experiences that most people have gone though and can relate with. The songs have to do with everything from "the pain of a broken relationship, to the pure fun of 'Summer Nights'".

Brad Paisley

I think Brad Paisley has some of the funniest songs in all of country music. He is a singer, songwriter, and an awesome guitar player. So far he has released eight albums and his newest album, "American Saturday Night", was released last year shortly followed by his new single, "Water". Brad co-wrote of all his songs on his "American Saturday Night" album and the album title was meant to celebrate "the one night of the week everybody is willing to be entertained, to let loose and forget about what’s going on during the rest of the week." Brad Paisley got his start in the music business at age 13 when he joined the WWWVA Jamboree USA and toured with other country singers also trying to make it big.

Zac Brown Band

Zac Brown Band is one of my favorite artists besides Jason Aldean. Zac Brown Band released their first album "The Foundation" in 2008 and it has been all up hill from there. Last year alone they won a well desevered  Grammy for "Best New Artist". They also won "Top New Vocal Group" and "Breakthrough Video of the Year" from the Academy of Country Music Awards and CMT in 2009. The many songs such as, "Chicken Fried" and "Toes", that made it all the way to the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot Country Chart were long awaited by Zac Brown who said "it took 13 years" to get to that point. There is much more to come from the Zac Brown Band as they are currently touring around the country and recently went over seas to sing for our troops.

Jason Aldean

Jason Aldean has sold over a two million copies of his first two albums and his new album "Wide Open" premiered in April of this year. His new song "My Kinda Party" was originally written by Brantley Gilbert 4 years ago, but Jason made it his own this fall by adding more electric guitar and pumping up the tempo. Jason Aldean likes to write songs about the experiences he has had, like moving away from his hometown to Nashville and being on the road most of the year. His songs like "Wide Open" and "Crazy Town" are two songs that came from the personal and emotion experiences he's had while trying to make it big in Nashville.
