One
of country music's best-loved performers, BNA Records recording artist
Craig Morgan has made a name for himself with massive radio airplay of
his signature hits, including "Almost Home"-which was named Music Row
Song of the Year in 2003, the chart-topping summer anthem "Redneck
Yacht Club," and "That's What I Love About Sunday"--which spent five
weeks at #1 and was Billboard's Most Played Country Song of the Year in
2005. His current album has spawned three consecutive Top Ten hits:
"Little Bit of Life," "Tough," and "International Harvester." Morgan
has performed on the legendary stage of the Grand Ole Opry more
than 170 times, and plays over 200 sold-out concerts a year. He spent
ten years on active duty in the U.S. Army before launching his music
career, and makes a point to perform as often as possible at U.S.
military installations both in the U.S. and abroad. He was awarded the
USO Merit Award in 2006 for his tireless support of U.S. soldiers and
their families. http://www.craigmorgan.com/
