I can't believe I get to write this blog, I have been a fan of Billy Currington since 2003, when his first single "Walk A Little Straighter" was shown on CMT. "Walk a Little Straighter" went on to peak at No. 8 that year on the Hot Country Songs chart and established Currington as a major country performer in Nashville. Since then Billy has captured many fans with his sultry voice and charming personality. His second single, "I Got a Feelin'", also from his debut album hit the top 5 on the country charts. Billy's third consecutive top 10 hit was with superstar Shania Twain in late 2004, with "Party for Two". In 2005, he released a second album entitled Doin' Somethin' Right, which peaked at No. 2 on the Top Country Albums chart and No. 11 on the Billboard 200. Billy's first number one song was the sultry "Must Be Doin' Somethin' Right", which came from his second album. Another single from Doin' Somethin' Right called "Why, Why, Why" landed at No. 13 on the charts. Billy's second number one "Good Directions" was Co-written by Capitol Records artist Luke Bryan. "Good Directions" was the number 2 country song of 2007 according to the Billboard Year-End charts. Doin' Somethin' Right is certified platinum by the RIAA. Doin' Somethin' Right also featured "Lucille" which was a song Billy covered from original artist Kenny Rogers. His 2007 single, "Tangled Up", peaked on the charts in the top 30. His first single from his third studio album, Little Bit of Everything, "Don't" peaked at number 2 on the country charts in early 2009. "People Are Crazy" was released as the second single from the album in March 2009 and this became his third number one hit in July 2009. His third single, "That's How Country Boys Roll" became his fourth number one hit in 2010, and was the first song Billy shared writing credit to reach number one. Later on in 2010 Billy released this fourth studio album Enjoy Yourself in which the first single off the ablum, "Pretty Good at Drinkin' Beer", reached the number one spot on the charts. The album's second single "Let Me Down Easy" went to radio in 2010 and reached number 1 in 2011. The album's third single "Love Done Gone" reached the number 11 spot later that year. The album's fourth single "Like My Dog" peaked at number 24 in 2012. Billy's fifth studio album, We Are Tonight, was released 2013. The album's first single, "Hey Girl", peaked at number 1 on the Country Airplay chart in October 2013. The album's second single, the title track, peaked at number one on the Country Airplay chart in August 2014. Billy released a new single, the first from his sixth studio album Summer Forever, in late October 2014, titled "Don't It." The single reached number 1 on the Country Airplay chart dated June 6, 2015, becoming his 9th number one country single, and his third consecutive. The album's second single, "Drinkin' Town with a Football Problem", peaked at number 30 on the charts. The album's third, and current single, "It Don't Hurt Like It Used To", has now become Billy's 10th number 1! AND Billy is on tour RIGHT NOW! Y'all go see him! In my eyes Billy Currington is a guy that has overcame a lot of things, but still continues to grow into a better person and artist. His latest album, Summer Forever, has been one of my favorite albums to listen to this year. The album has a mixture of upbeat songs to those slowed down songs you like to listen to on a rainy afternoon. Billy even has a duet with Jessie James Decker titled "Good Night", and I LOVE IT. Their voices, just vibe so well together. Billy just has one of those reconcilable voices, because it's so memorizing and I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty sexy too. This is Billy Currington, he deserves more credit with his music than he receives, but that's just my opinion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow Billy on his verified social media: Twitter: @BillyCurrington Facebook: Billy Currington Instagram: Billy Currington (@bccoconutman) Website: BillyCurrington.com YouTube: Billy Currington
