Clint Black

One the most popular country singer-songwriters of the 1990s.

Biography

A country music traditionalist from Texas, Clint Black was one of the first artists to kick-start the mass-market popularity of country in the '90s. Killin' Time, his 1989 debut album, was an immediate hit, spawning the number ones "Killin' Time," "Nobody's Home," and "Walkin' Away." He offered a shiny, marketable version of traditional country and in the process, paved the way for a new generation of country artists, particularly Garth Brooks. After Brooks broke through into the pop mainstream, Black's career began to fade somewhat, but he remained one of the most popular and acclaimed country vocalists of the '90s. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
