Yahoo LAUNCHCAST Song Of The Day-Jack Ingram

Artist:Jack Ingram
Song:One Thing
Album:Electric




Jack Ingram is one of today's top country music artists. The 2002 CD Electric was his first album to chart. He was born Nov. 15, 1970 in Houston. He started out touring with his band Beat Up Ford and released a couple of albums independently. By 1996, he signed with Warner Bros. and his major label debut Livin' Or Dyin' was released in 1997. Ingram moved over to Sony and released Hey You in 1999. Ingram had better luck with the 2002 CD Electric. He got together with Lee Ann Womack's producer Frank Liddell. The music isn't much different from Ingram's previous albums. He writes his own songs and his music is definitely in the Texas honky tonk tradition. Electric reached #34 on the country album charts. Ingram left Sony for Big Machine Records. This label was originally founded by country music star Toby Keith and DreamWorks Records exec Scott Borchetta. Keith left in 2006 and the label has had a lot of success with Taylor Swift. Ingram's 2007 CD This Is It reached #4 on the country album charts. His new album Big Dreams And High Hopes will be out shortly and the first single That's A Man is currently climbing the country charts. I recommend Jack Ingram to alt country fans. Here's the video for One Thing by Jack Ingram.
