AboutFrom Wikipedia
Ricky Lynn Gregg grew up in Longview, Texas, and began singing in the church at a very early age. His earliest influences were gospel and country. By 1992, Gregg was performing as a solo singer; the same year, he signed to Liberty Records and released his eponymous debut album. The album produced a #34 single in "If I Had a Cheatin' Heart", a cover of a Mel Street song. Following it were "Can You Feel It" and "Three Nickels and a Dime". In 1993, Billboard ranked him at #4 on their list of Top New Country Artists of the Year.
A second album, titled Get a Little Closer, was released on Liberty in 1994, with its title track being the only single. One year later, Gregg's manager, Jimmy Bowen, retired due to thyroid cancer, and Gregg was dropped from his label soon afterward. In 1997, Gregg found another manager, named Eddie Rhines, who helped the singer rebuild his fan base. By 2001, his third album, titled Careful What You Wish For, was released on the then-newly established independent label Row Music Group (RMG).
Gregg has also begun a charity called Trail of Hope, which provides clothing for underprivileged Cherokee, Choctaw and Sioux Indians.
