Josh Gracin seems to be living the American dream, and if asked, he would probably say that was true. He made his first impression on America when he introduced country music to the hit show American Idol. The fact that Gracin was also serving in the Marines at the same time demonstrated undeniable loyalty to his country. Even after he signed a record deal with Lyric Street Records, Gracin remained overseas, flying back to the states, when he could, to work on his debut album.
Despite the sporadic recording sessions, Gracin's self-titled debut was a huge success. It led him to become one of two new country artists who earned three top five singles from his debut album; the other was Gretchen Wilson. Gracin is also one of two new male country artists to achieve a gold album in the past two years. If this isn't enough, his debut CD is on the verge of going platinum.
After gaining such popularity from his first album, Gracin has big expectations for his second album, All About Y'All.
When he recorded the CD, Gracin was able to focus solely on the album.
instead of having to divide his time between the Marines and his career. For this reason, Gracin could put more of his upbeat, happy-go-lucky personality into his second album.
In a press release, Gracin said, "I wanted this album to reflect my energy and my values... I also wanted songs of substance that really explain who I am and what I stand for. And that's what I hope that we've accomplished."
Besides his career, Gracin places great importance on his family. Even with his newfound fame, Gracin claims he hasn't changed from the person he was before stardom. He gives his family credit for helping him stay grounded throughout his transition from everyday citizen to famed singer. His old-fashioned values and energetic personality will help him gain popularity as he continues his climb up the ladder of country celebrities.
Gracin will be playing at the VooDoo Lounge in Kansas City, Mo., on Thursday, July 20, at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are available through www.ticketmaster.com.
