His second album, No Ordinary Man, produced four major hits including the chart-topping “Watermelon Crawl” and the ACM Song of the Year, “The Keeper of the Stars.” Byrd followed with a string of top hits like “Big Love,” “I’m From the Country,” and “Ten Rounds with Jose Cuervo,” cementing his status as a staple of ’90s and 2000s country radio.

Known for his traditional sound and relatable lyrics, Byrd became a fan favorite through high-energy live shows, hosting roles on TV, and collaborations with artists like Mark Chesnutt and Blake Shelton. After a brief hiatus to focus on family, he returned in 2014 with renewed energy and a new studio album, All American Texan, showcasing his songwriting talents and staying power in the genre.
