Big and Rich

Auto-tune may be popular with some artists, but it's not on the must-have list for Big & Rich. They focus on authentically doing their best instead of relying on tuning to keep them on pitch.

I don't know about you, but I feel like I should go buy a set of Firestone tires a couple of times a day lately. Every time Trace Adkins' voice comes on my TV in that deep baritone, I'm convinced that I should "make no mistake... Firestone is a car company." Thank you for setting me straight, Trace. I now know that I should "drive a Firestone."

Big Kenny's big smile is well deserved -- the Big and Rich hitmaker just found out he will be the second-ever U.S. recipient of the African Children’s Choir Malaika award, which will be handed to him during a big event in New York City.

With the exception of their submission to the ‘Footloose’ soundtrack, Big and Rich have just released their first new single since 2007. Both members of the duo have found some success as solo artists, but ‘That’s Why I Pray’ serves as a reminder of how much Big Kenny Alphin and John Rich need each other.
