Big and Rich

Country artists have never shied away from recording songs that tell the stories of the wars that the U.S. has been involved in.

Oct. 28, 2004, was a big day for Big & Rich.

Country songs make the perfect first dance songs for newly married couples, the perfect soundtrack for a bar and the perfect accompaniment to a tailgate ... and country songs are also great for a dance party.

On May 4, 2004, Big & Rich's debut album, 'Horse of a Different Color', was certified platinum, for sales of one million units.

"I'll strive to live up to her example."

This is how you honor those who gave all.

The album brought a completely new set of influences to bear on country music.
