Taurus

In an era when inspiration and optimism are often in high demand and short supply, Lonestar has built a career providing both in good measure. The band's musical legacy is tied to modern-day classics like "Amazed," "I'm Already There," and "My Front Porch Looking In," heartfelt anthems to family, love and fidelity, as well as across-the-board hits of the first order.

The quartet's non-musical legacy is equally impressive. Richie, Dean, Michael and Keech are known for their support of the nation's troops and of charitable causes--their many honors have included both the National Fatherhood Award and the ACM/Home Depot Humanitarian Award. They are, in short, among modern country music's greatest ambassadors.

Now, with the release of the song "Mountains," Lonestar has taken yet another giant step forward. A celebration of the courage of ordinary people overcoming great hardship and challenges, it has quickly taken its place among the band's best-loved songs. It has also become the cornerstone of the album of the same name, the band's ninth.

"We hoped people would embrace it and would like it as much as we did," said keyboardist Dean Sams. "The way that it's been received let’s us know that it's made a connection with people."
