Music career
Weather the Storm
In 2004, Carolina Rain signed to
Equity Music Group, a label formed by
Clint Black. The band was the first act signed to the label besides Black himself.
[1] Carolina Rain released its debut single, "I Ain't Scared", which reached #41 on the U.S.
Billboard
Hot Country Songs chart. Following it were two additional singles, "Louisiana Love", and "Let's Get It On". "Louisiana Love" failed to chart, and "Let's Get It On" reached #57. However, those songs were never included on an album. Then in 2006, the group released "Get Outta My Way". Co-written by
Robert Ellis Orrall and
Curtis Wright, this song became their first Top 40 country hit, peaking at #28. After its release came their debut album
Weather the Storm
,
which also included "I Ain't Scared". After "Get Outta My Way" came their highest-charting single in the #26 "Isn't She", followed by the non-charting "Dealin'".
American Radio
In late 2008, the group released a new single titled "American Radio". The single intended to be the lead-off to a second studio album of the same name. The song reached #53 on the country charts a few weeks after it's release. A second single from the album, "Weight of the World" was released, however, before the song was offically released, Equity closed in December 2008. Therefore, the groups second album was canceled.
Featured as bumper music on The War Room with Quinn and Rose
In 2009 the morning radio show
The War Room with Quinn and Rose began featuring "American Radio" as bumper music during their 6AM-9AM program. The program can be head on XM channel 158 and is broadcast from Pittsburgh on 104.7FM.
