Lonestar is an American country music group consisting of Drew Womack (lead vocals, acoustic guitar),
Michael Britt (lead guitar, background vocals), Dean Sams (keyboards, acoustic
guitar, background vocals), and Keech Rainwater (drums). The group was founded
in 1992 by Britt, Sams, Rainwater, lead vocalist Richie McDonald, and
bass guitarist/vocalist John Rich. Rich
exited the band in 1998 and went on to become one-half of the duo Big & Rich. Since his departure, Lonestar has
relied alternatingly on session and touring musicians for bass guitar
accompaniment. McDonald exited the band in 2007 to record as
a solo artist, and was replaced by former McAlyster vocalist Cody Collins before returning in 2011. After leaving the
band a second time in 2021, McDonald was replaced by Womack, previously the
lead vocalist of Sons of the
Desert.
Lonestar has charted more than 20 singles on
the Hot Country Songs chart, including 9 that reached Nº 1: "No News",
"Come Cryin' to Me",
"Amazed", "Smile",
"What About
Now", "Tell Her",
"I'm Already
There", "My Front
Porch Looking In", and "Mr. Mom".
"Amazed" also charted at Nº 1 on the Billboard Hot 100,
becoming the first country song to do so since "Islands in
the Stream" in 1983.
"Amazed" and "My Front Porch Looking In" were the top
country songs of 1999 and 2003, respectively, on Billboard Year-End.
The group has recorded seven albums, one EP, and a greatest hits package for
the defunct BNA Records, and one
album each for three different independent labels. Three of their albums have
been certified platinum or higher by the Recording Industry Association of America(RIAA).
The band's first two albums were defined by honky-tonk and neotraditionalist
country influences, but subsequent albums
largely drew from country pop. Along
with his work with the band, McDonald has co-written singles for Clay Walker, The Wilkinsons, Billy Dean, and Sara Evans, in
addition to singing guest vocals on Mindy McCready's
1996 single "Maybe He'll
Notice Her Now".
Lonely Grill is the third studio album by
American country music group Lonestar,
released in the United States on June 1, 1999 by BNA Records.
It reached number 28 on the Billboard 200 chart, and number three on the Top Country Albums chart. With sales of three million copies in the United States, it
has been certified 3× Platinum by the RIAA. This was Lonestar's
first studio album to have a crossover-friendly country-pop sound, which was a departure from their earlier neotraditional
country sound. It is also their first studio
album to be recorded as a four-piece, as bassist and second lead vocalist John Rich left the band the previous year in 1998. Instead of replacing him with a
new member, the band hired several session bassists to play the album's bass
parts.
Every time our eyes
meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby, when you touch
me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this
close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts, I can see your dreams
I don't know how you
do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the
rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing
that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by
you
The smell of your
skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around
me
Baby, you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh, it feels like the first time every time
I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes
I don't know how you
do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the
rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing
that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by
you
Every little thing
that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the
rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Oh, every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you.
