Texas country singer Charlie Robison, who 'walked to his own beat,' died at 59. Complications from a medical procedure forced him to quit singing in 2018.
Breakout country music star Lainey Wilson leads the CMA Awards nominations for a second straight year with nine nods, the second most ever in a single year.However, Robison was as much a part of the Nashville scene as he was a critic of it. He’d remain in mainstream industry circles while married to Strayer, during the peak of The Chicks’ fame. And his 2001 album, “Step Right Up,” produced Top 40 country hit “I Want You Bad,” an upbeat love ballad that departs from his earlier, earthier anthems.
“It should be pretty obvious that if I wasn’t trying to make a run at radio, this song wouldn’t have been on the album,” he said, referring to the hit single. “It’s up to you to decide whether that’s selling out or not, but I did it not to get in Nashville’s good graces. I did it to get my other songs heard.”
Robinson dug in his boots further in Nashville as a judge on the inaugural season of USA Network’s reality competition show “Nashville Star,” in which contestants live together while competing for a country music recording contract. However, he left after the first season in 2003.
