"Lookin' For Love" singer, Johnny Lee, born in 1946 in Texas City, Texas.

Trent Tomlinson was born in 1975 in Blytheville,  Arkansas.  Trent had a hit in 2006 with "Drunker Than Me".

Born in 1980 in Lawrence, Kansas, singer Sarah Buxton.  Sarah was also an accomplished songwriter, penning "Stupid Boy" for Keith Urban, "Don't Let Me Be Lonely" for The Band Perry, and countless others.

One of my favorites, Aaron Tippin born in 1958 in Pensacola, Florida.  My favorite Tippin song would definitely have to be "Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagles Fly".

In 1980, "Honeysuckle Rose" made it's premiere in Austin, Texas starring Willie Nelson who sang his famous "On The Road Again".

And in 1993, Alison Krauss made her Grand Ole Opry debut.
