Country singer and songwriter Billy Currington was raised in Rincon, GA. following high school, he made a couple attempts at relocating to Nashville in the hopes of getting a career in music off the ground, finally landing a job there at a concrete company, during still finding time to play at venues on the side and work on song demos.
When vocalist Mark Wills put a hold on one of his songs, Currington met and started writing with Wills’ producer, Carson Chamberlain, which eventually led to a recording record deal with Mercury Records. His first single, “Walk a Little Straighter,” was released in 2003, and drew heavily on Currington’s experiences with an alcoholic father (the chorus for the song was actually written when Currington was only 12 years old). A debut album, Billy Currington, was gave us on Mercury Records in 2003. A second album, Doin’ Somethin’ Right, came in 2005 on Mercury Nashville. Little Bit of Everything appeared in 2008, also on Mercury Nashville.
