Song:I'll Wait For You
Album:III
It took a while for Joe Nichols to get his singing career going but he finally did and I'll Wait For You was a top ten country hit from his successful 2005 CD III. More recent results indicate that he may need to freshen his sound up. He was born Feb. 26, 1976 in Rogers, AR His dad was a trucker who played bass in a local band and by the time Nicholds was in high school in Walnut Cove, NC, he was playing in a band. Nichols met with producer Randy Edwards (Eagles) and Edwards produced his 1996 debut CD on the small label Intersound. It did well enough to earn him a contract at Giant Records but nothing came of that. A meeting with veteran Nashville session guitarist Brent Rowan landed Nichols a contract with Universal South in 2002. His 2002 CD Man With A Memory was a top ten country hit and his 2004 follow up Revelation reached #3. III was released in 2005 and did even better when the debut single Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off became Nichols' first #1 country hit. I'll Wait For You was the third single and reached #7. The song was written by legendary country singer Bill Anderson and Harley Allen but it doesn't look like Anderson ever recorded it. Nichols also did an acoustic version of the song. Nichols met Anna Nicole Smith at the Grand Ole Opry and sang at her funeral. His latest CD Old Things New was released in October. It's only reached #15 on the country charts. He's still working with Brent Rowan so maybe he needs to work with someone new and freshen things up. Joe Nichols had substance abuse issues in 2007. He is married. He will star with Lorrie Morgan in the Broadway musical Pure Country in 2010. Is Branson next? Here's the video for I'll Wait For You by Joe Nichols.
