The Texan group Lonestar's self-titled debut is an accomplished and impassioned hardcore honky tonk, drawing from such influences as Lefty Frizzell, George Jones, and Merle Haggard. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

The five-piece band Lonestar honed its country/soft-rock sound in America's bars and clubs for years before releasing their hit 1996 major-label debut. After bass player John Rich left the group for a solo career, Lonestar continued as a quartet, and released a second successful CD. But it was the band's third album LONELY GRILL that made them unlikely superstars. In 1998 Rich re-emerged as one half of the genre-bending, chart-topping duo Big & Rich.
