LeAnn Rimes
She'd been wowing audiences with her uncannily adult voice for years, but in 1996, thirteen-year-old LeAnn Rimes turned the country world upside down with her Patsy Cline-soundalike "Blue." The young star, managed by her dad, was showered with accolades, including the Best New Artist Grammy. But as Nashville labels rushed to sign their own teen stars, Rimes was already moving in a pop direction. Her next three studio CDs were odd mixtures of new country, country classics and pop/rock covers, and she scored a string of pop hits from movie and TV soundtracks, including the massive "How Do I Live."
Eddy Arnold
Cited in the 1990s by Billboard as the most successful artist in the history of the magazine's country charts, Eddy Arnold's career spanned a practically unfathomable eight decades. With gentle humor and a brand of hillbilly-flecked country made haunting by dulcet, almost jazz-crooner vocals, Arnold swiftly found a home at the Grand Ol' Opry. By the late-1940s, the "Tennessee Ploughboy" was a genuine hitmaker and a frequent collaborator of fellow legend Chet Atkins. After fading away for a spell, he returned in the 1960s with a pioneering string-oriented sound, scoring his signature hit, 1965's "Make the World Go Away." Arnold continued recording records nearly up until his death in 2008, just shy of his 90th birthday.
