Gretchen Wilson and Martina McBride,
Big|Brave & Rich produced hit sensation "Comin' to Your City." They received their first Billboard #1 single with "Lost in This Moment."
Rodney Adkins captivated the hearts of country music aficionados and won the 2006 Top New Male Vocalist award from the Academy of Country Music. According to Billboard magazine his songs "If You're Going Through Hell (Before The Devil Even Knows)" and "Watching You" were ranked as the top country singles of 2006 and 2007. Since then, Adkins has produced six #1 songs including "Cleaning This Gun (Come On In Boy)," "Take a Back Road," "These Are My People" and "It's America."
Rising country music star Morgan Daniel "Mo" Pitney hit the scene with his single "Country." The song entered the Top 40 for Billboard Country Airplay and lasted 19 weeks on the chart.
