Bio
Not every musician has the opportunity to revisit and even potentially improve upon their
biggest hits. But on the forthcoming TEN to 1 record, the award-winning band Lonestar—
Dean Sams (keyboards, acoustic guitar, background vocals), Michael Britt (lead guitarist,
background vocals ), Keech Rainwater (drums) and Drew Womack (lead vocals, guitar)—are
taking a fresh look at all 10 of their chart-topping country songs.
This streak started in 1996 with the band’s second single, the rock-edged “No News,”
and continued with the following year’s “Come Cryin’ to Me” and “Everything’s Changed.” The
band’s quadruple-platinum 1999 album Lonely Grill spawned four No. 1 hits (including the
beloved global smash “Amazed”) and established Lonestar as music’s preeminent pop-country
band—a status they’d maintain through the 2000s and beyond.
With these re-recordings, the band members were mindful of striking a balance between
preserving the sonic elements fans were familiar with—and not repeating them. Fittingly, TEN
to 1 record reflects the ways Lonestar’s hits have evolved over the years during the band’s
rousing, high-energy concerts. Such talent has contributed to the band winning many of music’s
top honors, including Academy Of Country Music awards for New Vocal Group in 1996, Single
and Song Of The Year in 2000, along with Humanitarian Of The Year in 2002. They also won
Country Music Association’s Vocal Group of the Year and International Artist Achievement
award in 2001. All told, Lonestar have sold more than 10.5 million records since their
formation.
With the release of TEN to 1 record, the band members are full of gratitude for what they’ve
accomplished already, and excited about what the future holds. “It’s amazing that we’re still
standing and putting on great shows after all these years,” Sams says. “The fans are still coming
out to our shows night after night, to see us and hear our music. That’s almost 30 years of
touring, and I can’t tell you how grateful I am—and I’ve never once taken it for granted.”
