Lonestar, a country music group with roots in Nashville and Tennessee, has been making waves in the industry for a while. The band was once called the Texassee, but they subsequently changed their name to Lonestar, which, in all honesty, sounds much better. The original name, however, truly has a backstory. The initial members, who were all from Texas and met in Nashville, Tennessee, are said to have given the band the moniker Texassee.

There are almost 40 songs from the ensemble that fans will undoubtedly enjoy. The group has won multiple musical honors for their talent and passion for music, including the Academy of Country Music Award for Group and the Country Music Association Award for Song of the Year. Its legacy cannot be disputed even if a few founding members have departed the band.

With more than 20 singles charting different music charts, Lonestar is a gem for country music. And here are the ten best Lonestar songs you should check out. 

1. Amazed

The song was included in their 1999 album Lonely Grill. “Amazed” is the group’s biggest hit and one of their longest-reigning number-one hits on the music charts. Marv Green, Aimee Mayo, and Chris Lindsey wrote the song. It’s a style of music that is frequently played during dances and weddings.

2. Let’s Be Us Again

The song was made available in 2004 as a component of their Let’s Be Us Again album. The song, which peaked at number 5 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks, is also one of their best-charting tracks. Together with Richie Mcdonald, a member of the group, Maribeth Derry, and Tommy Lee James wrote the song.

3. I’m Already There

Frank J. Myers, Gary Baker, and Richie McDonald wrote the song. Although “I’m Already There” was released before the 9/11 attacks, the song gained notoriety for being one of Lonestar’s darker compositions since it was thought to be related to the tragic attacks. Their album, also titled I’m Already There, included the song when it was released in 2001.

4. Everything’s Changed

The song was first made available in 1997 as a part of Lonestar’s album Crazy nights and quickly became one of their biggest successes. Richie McDonald, Larry Boone, and Paul Nelson wrote the song. Many people might relate to this song since it is about love. The narrator plainly explains in the title that while everything has changed, his love for the person he cherishes hasn’t.

5. Not a Day Goes By

“Not a Day Goes By” is from their 2001 album I’m Already There, and it simply discusses how difficult it is to go through a breakup. Simply put, the song’s narrator describes how he thinks of his ex daily, which many people can relate to.

6. No News

When “No News” was first released in 1996, it peaked at number one on US Hot Country Songs and Canada Country Tracks (Billboard). The song appeared on their self-titled debut album.

7. What About Now

The track was included in their 2000 Lonely Grill album. The song reached the top of the charts, peaking at number one on both the US Hot Country Songs and Canada Country Tracks (Billboard).

8. My Front Porch Looking In

The song was well-liked by many and rose to the top of the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. It was released by the group back in 2003 as a part of their album from There to Here: Greatest Hits. It was written by Richie McDonald, Frank J. Myers, and Don Pfrimmer.

9. Tequila Talkin’

Tequila has always been linked to relationships. However, the reverse is true in this Lonestar song. The 1995 song’s narrator misled his ex-lover into believing he was still in love with her while under the influence of tequila. Most of us might be probably guilty too. 

10. Walking in Memphis

One of the songs that Lonestar did not write is “Walking in Memphis.” But there’s no denying that their performance of the song was outstanding. The song was first made public by Marc Cohn, and Lonestars’ version gave it the right touch. The song has been spiced up to fit their taste, yet it is still the same tune that will enchant any listeners.

Without a doubt, Lonestar is a band that will have a millennia-long legacy. They have put out several tracks that listeners favorably receive.  Over the course of their career, the band has pushed the limits of country music. And that’s what makes them one of a kind.

That’s why here are more amazing Lonestar songs you should also listen to.
