Chris Vaughn Chris Vaughn Genre: Country
In the fall of 2003, Chris and his wonderfully supportive wife, Melissa, managed a plan for him to devote his time to completing the album he so desperately wanted to record. Because of the sacrifices they were willing to make, he completed the album in 2004. All songs (except In Memory of a Memory by Johnny Paycheck) are original and are performed on the CD by Chris with his sister Charlie singing harmony. The arrangements are also by Chris. These songs are "real country" the way country songs are supposed to sound. Chris has been very fortunate during his music career to have played with some of the industry's very best. Dave Brannon began playing with Chris during their teenage years in their first band "Chris, Charlie, and the Good Ole Boys", which included Chris' then thirteen year old sister Charlie. Ironically, Dave is still playing lead guitar for him and also does some vocals. Denton Walker, a fantastic steel player, and Michael Keeton, one of the greatest drummers around, are two of the very best. Michael is the drummer and back-up singer in the band Real Country, Chris' band today. The legendary Tommy Oliver has played with too many great performers to mention. Chris feels privileged that Tommy now plays steel for Real Country. Chris Vaughn has opened shows for the following: George Jones, Clay Walker, Wade Hayes, Martina McBride, Billy Dean, Johnny Lee, Johnny Paycheck, John Wesley Stone, Myla Mason, Cledus T. Judd, Steve Holy, Confederate Railroad, Richoche', Brooks and Dunn and many more. He has played most every major venue in the U.S. and Canada. While playing with Clay Walker he appeared on Countdown at the Neon Armadillo, the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Crook and Chase, Music City Tonight and Nashville Now. He has also appeared in Clay Walker's Video "If I Could Make A Living Out of Loving You".
The songs on the CD are a mixed variety. "I Still Love You" is a song he wrote
especially for his wife. "500 Miles" was co-written by Chris and Joe Greg
Winsett and appeals to truck drivers. "The Wind" is a wonderful ballad about a
man and a woman separated by the man's career. "Material Cowgirl" and "Backward"
are novelty songs that not only were fun for him to write but are also fun to
listen to. "Why Me" asks the question many people ask who truly adore their
spouses. "In Memory of A Memory" shows the extraordinary range of his voice.
