Craig Morgan
From his
website: When Craig Morgan was ten years old and on
a school field trip to Nashville, he sang "The
Star-Spangled Banner" well enough to catch the ear of a
distinctive older lady in the crowd. "She walked up to me
and said, ‘Son, someday you’re gonna be a famous
singer,’" Morgan remembers. Two-plus decades later,
he’d be looking at a picture of the woman—Minnie
Pearl—in the Ryman Auditorium dressing room that bears her
name, getting ready for his first performance on the Grand Ole
Opry. What Minnie didn’t know was that before his moment in
the spotlight finally came, Morgan would be an EMT, a
contractor, a sheriff’s deputy and a Wal-Mart assistant
dairy manager. He’d also spend ten years serving his country
in the U.S. Army.
But That's Why Morgan is one of country music’s most beloved
performers. It doesn’t matter if he’s jumping out of
airplanes, putting gallon jugs on a refrigerated shelf or
singing hits like "Redneck Yacht Club," "Almost
Home" and "Tough"—his honesty, humility and
work ethic stand out as strongly as his talent. That's Why,
the long-awaited follow-up to 2006’s Little Bit of Life, is
Morgan’s fifth album and BNA Records debut. From the
evocative and instantly familiar single "Love
Remembers" to the rural rally cry of "Sticks"
to the church-choir epic "Ordinary Angels," it’s
the sound of an artist soaring to new heights as both a
vocalist and songwriter, but with his steel-toed boots still
firmly on the ground (the same cannot be said, however, for
the tires of his Kawasaki motorbike). As Music Row’s Bob
Oermann wrote, "Craig Morgan is country music’s
champion of the Everyman—a loyal husband and father,
unblushingly sentimental, tough enough to kick your butt if
you cross him, and the kind of friend everyone would like to
have." Read
