Jon Randall Stewart (born February 17, 1969 in Dallas, Texas) is an American country music singer, songwriter and musician. Signed to RCA Records in 1995, he debuted that year with the album ''What You Don't Know''. A second album for RCA, 1996's ''Great Day to Be Alive'', was recorded but never released. That same year, Randall entered Top 40 on the country charts as a duet partner on then-wife Lorrie Morgan's song "By My Side". A third album (and second to be released), 1998's ''Cold Coffee Morning'', was issued on Asylum Records, followed by 1999's ''Willin′'' on the independent Eminent label. Finally, in 2005, he issued ''Walking Among the Living'' on Epic Records. In addition to the four studio albums that he has released, and the three songs he has charted on the ''Billboard'' Hot Country Songs charts, Randall co-wrote the song "Whiskey Lullaby", which became a Top 5 hit when Brad Paisley recorded it as a duet with Alison Krauss on his 2003 album ''Mud on the Tires''. ==Biography== Jon Randall Stewart was born on February 17, 1969 in Dallas, Texas. In his teenage years, he relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, where he found work as a guitarist in Emmylou Harris's band The Nash Ramblers. In 1992, Randall won a Grammy award under the winner name 'Emmylou Harris & Nash Ramblers (Larry Altamanuik, Sam Bush, Roy Huskey, Jr., Al Perkins, Jon Randall Stewart), artists.' for Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. The award was for the album "Live at the Ryman".〔(GRAMMY Winners Search )〕 Randall also participated in the Grammy winning project 'Carl Jackson and John Starling (with The Nash Ramblers), which won in 1991, but only Jackson and Starling received the award.〔(GRAMMY Winners Search )〕 In 1995, he was signed to RCA Records Nashville as a solo artist, releasing his debut album ''What You Don't Know'' that year. Due to a restructuring at the label, however, the album received little publicity, and its only chart single ("This Heart") peaked at No. 74 on the country charts. After the release of ''What You Don't Know'', Randall set to work on a second album for RCA, entitled ''Great Day to Be Alive''. During the recording session for this album, Randall met country singer Lorrie Morgan, whom he eventually married and with whom he performed the duet "By My Side" for both his own album and for her 1996 album ''Greater Need''.〔 "By My Side" was released as a single in 1996, becoming Randall's only Top 40 hit on the country music charts and won a Music City News Award for Vocal Collaboration. ''Great Day to Be Alive'' was never released. However, its Darrell Scott-penned title track "It's a Great Day to Be Alive" would be recorded in 2002 by Travis Tritt for his album ''Down the Road I Go'', from which it was released as a single.〔 By 1998, Randall had moved to Asylum Records to record his third studio album. Entitled ''Cold Coffee Morning'', this album produced singles in its title track and the song "She Don't Believe in Fairy Tales", the former of which reached No. 71 on the country charts. Randall and Morgan divorced around this point,〔 and ''Cold Coffee Morning'' also went unreleased. A more Americana-oriented album, entitled ''Willin′'', was issued in 1999 on the independent Eminent label. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jon Randall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
