With eight albums under
Sammy Kerhsaw's belt, he’s not
looking back. Kershaw came up
the hard way, a point New Coun
try noted when it proclaimed
him “one of country’s few believ
able blue-collar performers.”
Kerhsaw was born into a poor
family in Abbeville, Louisiana.
His father died when he was 12
and he soon began working as a
roadie regionally. He then moved
to Oklahoma and began singing
with local bands. After establish
ing a rfiputation there, Kershaw
decided to return to Louisiana to
further his musical ambitions. It
wasn't easy. Besides the exhaust
ing work involved in performing,
Kershaw also had some destruc
tive bouts with drugs and alco
hol. By the late 80’s, the strain
simply became too much. Hi quit
music altogether and took a job
as a remodeling supervisor for
Wal-Mart. Kers%naw mi%]ht have
remained at that post had not
one of his demo tapes found its
way to Mercury Records in
Nashville. In 1990, the label
signed him to a recording con
tract. With hits like “Cadillac
Style,” “Yard Sale,” “Queen of My
Double Wide Trailer,” “She Don't
Know She’s Beautiful,” “Third
Rate Romance,” “National
Working Woman’s Holiday,”
“Meant To Be,” “Vidalia,” the
smash love ballad “Love of My
Life” and his current hit, “Me and
Maxine,” he’s been on the rise.
He’s a happy man now, enjoying
the success of his records.
Looking at pictures of Aaron
Tippin in his muscle tees it is
easy to see th' he can be called
a “man of steel.” But with Aaron
Tippin it goes way beyond the
looE. This true working class
hero built his career on plain
honesty.
Tipgin was raised in the
Appalachian Mountains of west
ern South Carolina. He wrote his
first sons at age 9 on a S3O pi
ano his dad bought. As a teen,
Tippin fell in love with classic
country sounds, permanently af
fectinig his musical development.
“We don’tappreciate the roots of
this music enough. Its beauty is
in everyday folks, problems and
pleasures.” Songs like “There
Ain’t Nothing Wrong With the
Radio,” the smash hit, “That’s as
close as I'll Get to Loving You,”
“My Blue Angel,” “You've Got to
Stand for Something,” “Working
Man’s PHD,” and “I Got it Hon
est” and his most recent hit, “For
You I will,” are all songs related
to his life.
He appeared on TNN's You
Can Be a Star TV talent contest.
At the time he was going throu&h
a divorce. He never thouiht e
would make it that far so he de
cided to make Nashville his
home in 1987. He worked in a
factory while writing songs. He
assumed his future was in com
posins. But the first time he ever
glaye in Nashville, it earned
im a contract with RCA. When
he performs it earns him fans for
life. “I've got to go out there and
give 150 percent. Otherwise, I'd
just as soon not do it. Most of the
concerts were done from that
stage. I was Eonna make them
like me whether they wanted to
or not. One at a time, show after
show.”
