Clint Black was born in New Jersey, but raised
in Katy, Texas, a suburb of Houston. As a child, he listened to both
country and rock & roll, but he didn't begin playing guitar until
the age of 13, when he started playing harmonica. Two years later, he
began writing songs, as well as performing in his brother Kevin's band,
where he played bass and sang. In the early '80s, he began playing music
on the streets of Katy, eventually working his way into coffeehouses,
bars, and night clubs.
He burst on the charts in February 1989 with
"Better Man," the first of five consecutive No.1 hits from his
debut album that made him the leader of the "new country"
movement. By that summer, Black was playing arenas as a special guest on
some of the biggest country tours. In October of that year, Clint
Black was awarded the Country Music Association's prestigious Horizon
Award for his achievements as a new artist.
Hire Clint Black for your special event! His reputation spread like wildfire throughout 1990.
Black became a huge media and fan favorite with his unflagging energy,
professionalism, friendliness, magnetism and easy-going charm. "Killin'
Time" was succeeded by "Put Yourself In My
Shoes," which yielded four more top-10 hits and became his second multi-million
seller. He won the CMA's Male Vocalist of the Year award, the
American Music Award as Favorite New Male Country Artist and also
received Album of the Year, Single of the Year, Best New Male Vocalist
and Best Male Vocalist awards from the Academy of Country Music, all in
one year.
Clint Black joined the cast of the Grand Ole Opry in January
1991. In mid-year the legendary Roy Rogers became the first of his duet
partners. He and Lisa Hartman married that October. "The Hard Way"
became his third album in early 1992. Black promoted it with a
lavish $250,000 stage production that was seen by more than a million
people that year.
His duet with Wynonna, "A Bad Goodbye,"
became a massive hit in 1993 and their national tour together was named
Concert of the Year by Playboy. "No
Time To Kill" was issued
as Black's fourth platinum CD. Contributing to "Common
Thread: Songs of The Eagles," he recorded "Desperado,"
which found
its own legs as a country radio favorite. That album earned the CMA's
Album of the Year honor.
Thanks to a string of hits from his fifth CD, "One
Emotion," Clint Black was named radio's most played country
artist of 1994 by Billboard magazine. In September 1994, his
Merle
Haggard song collaboration "Untanglin' My Mind" hit the
charts. Also in '94, Black staged his acting debut in TV's "Wings"
and recorded "A Good Run of Bad Luck" for Mel Gibson's "Maverick," where he appeared as a gambler who was thrown overboard for
cheating. The song, which was featured on the movie's soundtrack, also
inspired Black's first foray into video directing.
Black continued to
direct his own videos, including "Summer's Comin'," a
star-studded video featuring appearances by
Jay
Leno, Dick Clark,
Howie
Mandel, David Hasselhoff, Joey Lawrence, Lee
Sklar, George Kennedy, Gerald McRainey and Lisa Hartman Black.
Clint Black's biggest musical influences include Merle
Haggard, Waylon Jennings,
George Strait, and
Willie Nelson
His musical style encompasses traditional country, honky-tonk and Western swing.
His voice is described as a smooth baritone and was initially compared to Merle
Haggard's.
Black was self-taught on harmonica, guitar and bass at an
early age. On his studio albums he plays acoustic and electric guitars as well
as harmonica. In concert he plays primarily guitar but does play drums and
harmonica.
