Song:Yes!
Album:More Country Fun
The 2000 single Yes! was the only number one country hit for Chad Brock. After three albums for Warner Bros. he returned to obscurity. He was born July 31, 1963 in Ocala, FL. Brock played football in high school. But he also sang in the school choir. So he turned down a football scholarship and moved to Nashville. He signed with Warner Bros. in 1994. Warners knew his athletic background and they owned World Championship Wrestling (WCW). They thought they could cross promote him. He was sent to the WCW Power Plant in Atlanta. Brock was forced to retire from pro wrestling due to injury. He returned to Nashville and released his 1998 debut album Chad Brock. All three of Brock's Warner albums were produced by veteran producers Buddy Cannon and Norro Wilson. The single Ordinary Life reached #3 on the Country Singles chart. He was also briefly involved in a 1999 WCW angle with Curt Hennig. That's when Hennig was doing "Rap is Crap". The 2000 album Yes! did better than the first album. The single Yes! topped the Country Singles chart. It also reached #22 on the Billboard Hot 100. Brock wrote the song with veteran songwriters Stephony Smith and Jim Collins. The guitar solo is by veteran session musician B. James Lowry. The featured fiddle player is Rob Hajacos. When Brock's 2001 album III did not do well, Brock left Warners for Broken Bow Records. When none of his singles caught on, he never released an album for Broken Bow. He last recorded in 2008. He hosted the morning show at WQYK in Tampa for several years. And then he was director of programming for the cable network The Country Network until 2011. He announced plans to run for United States Senate in 2014 but I don't think he actually ran. He seems to have returned to performing in the last couple of years. Based on his Twitter page, he's a Trump and NRA supporter. You can get Yes! on this various artists budget CD. Here's the video for Yes! by Chad Brock.
