3 albums, 3 number singles, and 8 top 40 hits later Billy is starting to become a household name in the country music genre.
Billy Currington fell in love with country music at very early age, and credits his step father for that. Marrying his mother when Billy was just 1 years old, Larry Currington would go on to play some of the best and most influential music that a young country boy from Rincon, GA can get.

Unfortunately that first trip didn't work out, but Billy didn't come home with his tail between his legs, he came back home to Georgia and started playing his music in the local bars honing his craft, which would eventually serve him well.
He later returned to Nashville, insistent on making it, and did everything he had to in order to stay there. He worked for a concrete company to pay rent and bills in the beginning. When that began taking too much of his time...Billy quit that job at the urging of fellow songwriters, and instead became a personal trainer.
That job would become a blessing in disguise, when one of his clients turned out to work for a song publishing company.

Billy Currington Music
Every time I hear a country music song, good memories of the past starts to flash in. I feel like this kind of song makes me remember the good old days when I was a kid. It made me sad, but also happy to think of my childhood and how I looked back then. It may not be the case for everybody, but I know that somehow hearing country music makes us feel how good life is.
Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and The Statler Brothers, these people made Billy Currington start to dream about country music. These are the influences of his step-father that was shared to him during his younger years. He got Keith Whitley and George Strait on his own.
Billy Currington music has its own style and interpretation. There are country music singers whose style can be identified with other artist. Billy proved his craft is different having influences from his own father and even created a song literally for him.
Billy sings with his heart. His past experiences in life (good or bad), goals and dreams made him create songs that speak a thousand words. It defines what he had before and what he wanted to have in life.
You can feel the love, the longing and the aspiration in his lyrics. His non-stop journey to make his songs be heard and be appreciated can be seen anywhere in his music. He wanted to catch people's attention and make people realize that what he had in the past is like a foundation that keeps him going after 13 years of existence and just being heard right now.
The ups and down in his life and music career can be a role model to everyone who is in the same situation right now where he was before. The cool sound that he has in his songs will make people sing along with him.
His songs just like his life story needs to be told and told for people not to lose hope and continue to go where their heart told them to go. His adventure in Nashville can be a misadventure if he stopped playing music and create songs. The way he interprets a song makes you feel that no matter what, life has to go on. "If you gotta go, you gotta go", a line that can be found in his song "Don't".
If you haven't heard Billy Currington Music , then you're missing out on some great ear candy.
