Aaron Tippin
b. 1959, South Carolina, USA. Tippin wrote all of his debut album, YOU'VE GOT TO STAND FOR SOMETHING ELSE, which he recorded with a crack studio band including Mark O'Connor, Larrie Londin, and Emory Gordy Jnr., who also produced. The album was both modern and a throwback to the country music of the '40s, and its title track was a favourite of American soldiers during the Gulf War. The muscular country singer has numerous female fans and his macho stance is evident from song titles like I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way.
