Big and Rich BIO
Big & Rich are an American
genre-busting country music duo comprising Big Kenny (Kenny Alphin) and
John Rich (formerly of Lonestar). The duo first performed together in
1998. Martina McBride recorded Alphin and Rich's song "She's a
Butterfly" in 2003, and Big & Rich landed a record deal a few months
later.
Their first album Horse of a Different Color (2004) reached number one
in both the Billboard national chart as well as the Billboard country
music chart. The most successful song from the album was the second
single, the smash hit "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy." This song reached
#11 on country radio, and received wider exposure when ESPN featured the
song in commercials for its coverage of the 2004 World Series of Poker.
Big & Rich also showcased this song in a country-rap music blowout to
conclude a CMT awards show.
Big & Rich have many admirers from the more mainstream country genre,
notably Martina McBride and Tim McGraw, with whom they shared a
nationwide sell-out stadium tour in 2004. Later in 2004, the duo
embarked on the American Revolution Tour which they coheadlined with
Gretchen Wilson and other members of their renegade group known as the
MuzikMafia. A live version of the band covering Madonna's "Like a
Virgin" has also made its way onto the web.
On the other hand, Big & Rich have been heavily criticized by those who
feel that their kind of country music is destroying the genre
completely. Generally, these critics come from Neotraditional Country
sectors, as well as from country music's purists and elders.
Their sophomore album, Comin' To Your City, was released on November 15,
2005. Big Kenny's solo CD from 2000, Live a Little, & John Rich's solo
CD from 2000 Underneath The Same Moon was also released in 2005. Big
Kenny and his wife, Christiev, welcomed a son on November 2, 2005. They
named him Lincoln William Holiday and John Rich has been named his
godfather. Big and Rich also coheadlined in the "Deuces Wild" tour with
Brooks & Dunn and the Warren Brothers.
