Few stars of country music have risen as fast, and shone as brightly as Ricky Van Shelton. Between 1987 and 1992 he released more than 20 hit singles – including 10 #1’s, five of them consecutive – and five Top 10 albums, three of which also made #1.

His records were played continuously on country radio, and he went from winning the Country Music Association’s Horizon Award for best newcomer in 1998 to becoming their Male Vocalist Of The Year just 12 months later. Ricky Van (Van being his middle name) cut through the success of his contemporaries like the proverbial knife through butter.
