小简介
Steve Wariner1954年圣诞节出生于印第安纳州的诺波斯韦尔，17岁时加入巡回乐队Dottie West。1977年,Chet Atkins把他带进了RCA，但直到1981年他打进前10后才真正跟Chet Atkins(巨人阿~)共事。一年后，他以"All Roads Lead to You."问鼎冠军，1984年在他转到MCA Nashville前还有另外两首歌打进了前五。以一个强势姿态出现的创作人，Wariner那过于圆滑的唱腔和商业化的旋律导致有些人抨击他的音乐太没感染力，但这并没能够在MCA其间的18首单曲冲入前10，其中更有8首占据了冠军宝座。
一时间，在那个乡村音乐卖的最好的时候， WARINER与1991年离开了巨星堆积的MCA NASHVILLE加入了当时刚刚起步的ARISTA公司几年间，WARINER再次发现自己又成为了一堆巨星中的一员，这包括了Brooks & Dunn, Diamond Rio, Alan Jackson 和 Pam Tillis.在贡献了4首TOP10歌曲和一张纯乐器专辑后，WARINER再次成为了自由人。
在职业生涯的暂时呆滞时期， WARINER与1996年加入了Grand Ole Opry，他参与了Anita Cochran的民谣 "What If I Said." 尽管COCHRAN在此之前并没能证明自己而且WARINER也被认为已经是一个过时表演者，但这次合作还是震动也业界并且最终于1998年成为冠军，同年，WARINER参与创作的另外两首歌：与GARTH BROOKS的LONGNECK BOTTLE和CLINT BLACK的NOTHIN’BUT THE TAILLIGHTS也都成为冠军。（很有意思的是那个时候正是GARTH BROOKS和CLINT BLACK掐的正死的时候，BLACK当时风头一时无两，横扫所有颁奖典礼。他跟两方都插一脚不能不说很有意思。--译者注。）
随着自己元气的恢复，1998年WARINER签约CAPITOL公司并且风险了"Holes in the Floor of Heaven," 并赢得了CMA最佳单曲和年度最佳歌曲。1999年与Asleep at the Wheel的合作帮助WARINER赢得了个人第二做格来美奖项。在为CAPITOL奉献了另外3首TOP10歌曲后，WARINER开办了自己的公司， SELECTONE RECORDS。随后发行的第一张碟包含了新歌和他最经典的歌曲精选。
One of country musics most versatile performers, Steve Wariner grew up in suburban Indianapolis, interested in the Beatles on the radio as well as Chet Atkins and George Jones, the artists his father listened to most frequently. He started playing music in his dads band, and by his high school years, he was playing local clubs. At age 17, he caught the ear of Dottie West, who persuaded him to join her band, and in that position he ended up playing bass on her classic 1973 single Country Sunshine. He moved on to work as a sideman for Bob Luman and signed a singles deal with RCA Records in 1976. His career developed slowly, and in the beginning, the low-tuned guitars and wide range of his singles brought frequent comparisons to the early Glen Campbell hits. His first really successful single was Your Memory, which peaked in the country Top Ten in early 1981, followed by By Now and All Roads Lead to You, which topped the country charts in December. RCA released another couple of singles before finally issuing his debut album, Steve Wariner, in the fall of 1982. He returned to the country Top Ten in 1983 with Midnight Fire, which became the title track of his second album, and Lonely Women Make Good Lovers.
Wariners career really took off when he left RCA for MCA in late 1984. His first single for the new label, What I Didnt Do, made the country Top Five in early 1985, setting off a string of 18 consecutive Top Ten hits that included the chart-toppers Some Fools Never Learn, You Can Dream of Me, Lifes Highway, Small Town Girl, The Weekend, Lynda, Where Did I Go Wrong, and I Got Dreams (the last two Wariner compositions). This run took him into 1990, when he switched to Arista Records. He had considerable initial success on the new label, with his first Arista album, I Am Ready, going platinum (none of his previous albums had even gone gold) and his first three Arista singles making the Top Ten. And he shared a 1991 Grammy Award for Best Country Vocal Collaboration with Ricky Skaggs and Vince Gill for Restless, a track on Mark OConnors album The New Nashville Cats.
Wariner scored a country Top Ten hit with If I Didnt Love You in the summer of 1993, but his record sales were declining. His 1996 instrumental album No More Mr. Nice Guy, his first release in three years, did not chart, but that year he joined the Grand Ole Opry. In 1997, he sang with Anita Cochran on What If I Said, and the single topped the country charts in early 1998, just after Garth Brooks recording of Wariners composition Longneck Bottle had gone to number one. This twin success reinvigorated his career. He signed to Capitol Records, Brooks label, and released Holes in the Floor of Heaven, which made the country Top Five, winning the Country Music Associations awards for Song of the Year and Single of the Year. Burnin the Roadhouse Down, his debut album for Capitol, reached the country Top Ten, went gold, and crossed over to the Top 50 of the pop charts. He followed it with 1999s Two Teardrops, which also went gold; the same year, he shared his second Grammy for Best Country Instrumental for the Asleep at the Wheel track Bobs Breakdown. His third Capitol album, Faith in You, was released in May 2000.
