Radney Foster
Comment:
Considering that he grew up — literally — in the shadow of Wolfman Jack's home, the 250,000-watt border radio mega-station XERF, it's no surprise that Radney Foster's Texas twang rocks like a mustang on locoweed. Hired as a staff writer for Mary Tyler Moore's publishing company, he joined forces with Bill Lloyd, a kindred spirit who saw their songwriting as a ticket to the big time as performers. Thanks to a hit ("Since I Found You") penned for Sweethearts of the Rodeo, the duo got a shot at their own contract, and the hits came quickly: three Top 10s on their first album. But a pair of albums later, they went their separate ways, with Radney concentrating on a hotrod honky-tonk groove that sprang full-blown on his solo debut, [i]Del Rio, TX 1959[/i], and hasn't let up — for a decade and a half — since.
