Clint Black Out of Sane LP

After 30 years of 'killin' time,' Clint Back is ready to celebrate. The multi-million selling country icon is set to embark on a tour commemorating the 30th Anniversary of his groundbreaking debut album Killin' Time, which all but altered the landscape of country music. Three decades later, Clint remains humble as ever about the massive influence he has had on the genre.

"I don't really feel like I was leading a change in country music," Clint remarks. "It just felt like big success to me. I would hear things like, 'So-and-so is going to record, and they're using their own band because you did.' Or, 'So-and-so wants to write more of their own songs, because you did.' But I don't feel like I changed anything, other than contributing my work to the big picture. It's hard to look at myself and see the impact I've had. I do know that my songs have touched a lot of people."

If Black won't say it outright, his staggering career speaks for itself. His is one of the most storied careers in modern music. Black surged to superstardom as part of the fabled Class of '89, reaching #1 with five consecutive singles from his triple-platinum debut, Killin' Time. He followed that with the triple-platinum Put Yourself in My Shoes, and then a string of platinum and gold albums throughout the '90s. Perhaps most impressively, Clint wrote or co-wrote every one of his more than three dozen chart hits, including "A Better Man," "Where Are You Now," "When My Ship Comes In," "A Good Run of Bad Luck," "Summer's Comin'," "Like the Rain" and "Nothin' But the Taillights," part of a catalog that produced 22 #1 singles and made him one of the most successful singer/songwriters of the modern era. Along the way, he's earned more than a dozen gold and platinum awards in the U.S. and Canada, landed nearly two dozen major awards and nominations, won a GRAMMY Award, countless Country Music Association, American Music Awards and Academy of Country Music Awards, as well as a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
