Country singer and songwriter Billy Currington was raised in Rincon, GA.
Following high school, he made a couple attempts at relocating to Nashville
in the hopes of getting a career in music off the ground, finally landing a
job there at a concrete company.

while still finding time to play at clubs on the side and work on song
demos. When singer Mark Wills put a hold on one of his songs, Currington met
and began writing with Wills' producer, Carson Chamberlain, which eventually
led to a recording contract with Mercury Records. His first single, "Walk a
Little Straighter," was released in 2003, and drew heavily on Currington's
experiences with an alcoholic father (the chorus for the song was actually
written when Currington was only 12 years old). A debut album, Billy
Currington, was released on Mercury Records in 2003. A second album, Doin'
Somethin' Right, followed in 2005 on Mercury Nashville. |
