Clint Black October 6, 2006

Born in New Jersey, but raised in Texas, mega star Clint Black was one of the first artists to bring mass-market popularity to country music in the '90s. Dwight Yoakam is considered to be one of the most respected and adventurous country artists of the last 15 years. He twists around the style of the music to make it his own form, just as his idols Buck Owens, Merle Haggard and Hank Williams had done before him.
