Five decades into a genre-crossing career, Jeffrey Osborne offers his first album of original material in 15 years on “Worth It All.” The richly deep-toned vocalist started out on the drum set during his teenage years, but by the time he joined then-simmering soul outfit L.T.D. in the early ‘70s, the way was paved for his dynamic pipes to shine on. The six-year recording period which saw him lead the band’s classics “Love Ballad,” “Back in Love Again,” “Holding On,” and “Never Get Enough of Your Love” to the upper reaches of the R&B charts was followed by nearly a decade’s worth of solo hits spanning both soaring ballads (“On the Wings of Love,” “You Should Be Mine,” “Only Human”) and contagious up tempo anthems (“Stay with Me Tonight,” “Don’t You Get So Mad,” “She’s on the Left”).
With timeless songs like “Long Black Train” and “Why Don’t We Just Dance,” Josh Turner’s global reach has surpassed 5.8 billion global streams, 6.5 million album sales and almost 12 million track sales worldwide.

For all his life, KEM has been driven by music and the emotions involved in bringing it to life. That passion stems from the days he spent as a child playing the old piano at his grandfather’s church. For KEM, there’s always been a deep and very intimate connection to music, which has evolved throughout his personal life experiences. Today, the internationally renowned R&B singer/songwriter has to his credit: one Platinum selling album (KEM: ALBUM II); two Gold selling albums (KEMISTRY; INTIMACY); three GRAMMY nominations; five #1 hit singles (“Love Calls,” “I Can’t Stop Loving You,” “Why Would You Stay,” “It’s You” and “Nobody”), along with several sold out national tours and international shows.
Mark Chesnutt is one of country’s true musical treasures. Critics have hailed him as a classic country singer of the first order and some of country music’s most elite entertainers, from George Jones to George Strait, echo the sentiment.
Jo Dee Messina kicked off her notable career with “Heads Carolina, Tails California,” a single that immediately made her a household name. Following the success of her debut, Messina posted nine No. 1 hits, 16 Top 40 songs and was honored by the ACM Awards, CMA Awards, and GRAMMY Awards. As Messina’s résumé grew, she proved to be a trendsetter and history maker, becoming the first female in country music history to celebrate three consecutive multi-week, chart topping songs. Aside from her studio successes, Messina has also created a reputation for herself as one of the most passionate, high-energy performers in the business. Sharing her hit tunes; unreleased, emotionally driven songs; worship music; and personal testimony, Messina has been traveling the country for many years, receiving rave reviews for her authenticity, commitment, and openness on stage.
