Marcus Hummon
The hits continue for Nashville's
Renaissance man, singer-songwriter Marcus Hummon. His co-written, "Born
to Fly", has perched Sara
Evans on top of the charts.
This comes on the heels of back to back chart-smashing singles
from the Dixie
Chicks, "Ready
to Run", which also won
a Grammy, and "Cowboy,Take
Me Away",both co-written
with Dixie Chick Martie
Siedel.
Twice nominated as Nashville's
premiere songwriter/composer, these are hardly the first of
his hits. Marcus has been one of Nashville‚s most consistently
successful and innovative songwriter/musicians, often playing
guitar on the recordings of his own compositions, as is the
case on the Wynonna's #1,
Grammy nominated, "Only
Love". Other notable hits
include Tim
McGraw's powerful number
one song, "One
of These Days", Bryan
White's summer smash, "Love
is the Right Place", Alabama's
ode to baseball's bush leagues, "The
Cheap Seats", and many others.
Along the way, he has also found
time to record and release three albums of his own. The first,
the critically acclaimed, All
in Good Time, on Columbia
Records, the other two, sterling independent label releases, The
Sound of One Fan Clapping,
and Looking
for the Child, on Velvet
Armadillo Records. Marcus‚s diverse career also has included
a published book of poetry, four musicals, and the lyrics for
the PBS children's cartoon series, "Book
of Virtues". |
