NASHVILLE, TN (March 1, 2023) — Today, Lonestar, the highly acclaimed and multi-award-winning country group release “Amazed,” the reimagined lead single from their forthcoming album, TEN to 1 — an invigorating re-recording of 10 of their #1 hits — due out Friday, June 2. Having just celebrated their 30th anniversary in 2022, the original recording of “Amazed” spent 11 weeks in a No. 1 position.

There’s something about combining nostalgia with innovation that turns a beloved memory into an engaging new experience. That’s the foundation for Lonestar’s TEN to 1 — giving fans brand new versions of the hits they have loved for years. Although “Amazed” is one of two songs they didn’t experiment with when re-recording.
“We didn’t want to mess with ‘Amazed’ and ‘I’m Already There,’” Michael Britt says. “Those songs belong to the fans, and we can’t change those because they’ve heard those songs so many times. They’ve been a part of people’s lives in weddings and things like that, so we didn’t want to change those. Drew made this comment to me, ‘They’re not our songs anymore. They are our fan’s songs, and he’s right.”
Re-recording songs that fans have loved for years can be a tricky proposition, but TEN to 1 strikes the perfect balance between fresh and familiar. It was a labor of love for Lonestar’s keyboardist Dean Sams, drummer Keech Rainwater, guitar virtuoso Michael Britt, and lead vocalist Drew Womack.
After wrapping up their most successful touring year ever last year, Lonestar continues to maintain a busy tour schedule and in 2023 will enjoy a bucket list moment as they headline Nashville’s famed Ryman Auditorium for the first time on Friday, March 3 — a stop on their national headlining “TEN To 1” Tour. “We’ve done a few sets there and played the Opry there, but we’ve never done a real show there and we’ve wanted to for years,” says Britt.
Giving the fans what they want has made Lonestar one of the most successful groups in country music history. Each band member hails from Texas and since they rocketed to national acclaim in 1995, Lonestar has amassed RIAA-certified sales in excess of ten million albums. The band’s quadruple-platinum 1999 album Lonely Grill spawned four No. 1 hits (including the global smash “Amazed”) and established Lonestar as music's preeminent pop-country band. Lonestar won the 1996 ACM Top New Vocal Group honor as well as 1999 ACM Single of The Year for “Amazed,” which also won Song of the Year, 2001 CMA Vocal Group of the Year and 2002 ACM Top Vocal Group.

The band’s awards include 1996 ACM “Top New Vocal Group,” 1999 ACM “Single of The Year” for “Amazed” (the song also won “Song of the Year”), 2001 CMA “Vocal Group of the Year” and 2002 ACM “Top Vocal Group.”
