Clint Black

Clint Black's debut is the part that still floors me: Killin' Time spinning off four consecutive number one country singles is the kind of arrival most artists never get. As a singer-songwriter who writes and produces his own material, he was the real deal, not a manufactured hit machine. Even as his momentum cooled through the 1990s, he kept charting into the 2000s, which speaks to genuine craft. The 1996 Hollywood Walk of Fame star feels earned. I see him as a torchbearer of mainstream country songwriting, and I quietly tip my hat to that kind of durability.
