Big & Rich

Big Kenny Alphin and John Rich began performing together in 1998. It took them six years to achieve commercial success, but 2004's "Horse Of A Different Color", in addition to going multi-platinum, gave them four country hits including "Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy)" (#11). Their next studio album, "Comin' To Your City", yielded three more chart singles including "8th Of November" (#18 Country, #94 Pop). The third album, 2007's "Between Raising Hell And Amazing Grace", gave them their first Country #1, "Lost In This Moment".

The story of "8th Of November" is that of the US Army's 173rd Airborne Brigade, the first major ground combat unit to arrive in Vietnam. According to the brigade's history, on November 8, 1965 it took part in Operation Hump, an action north-east of Saigon. Ambushed by some 1,200 Viet Cong, the men took heavy casualties, including 48 killed.

One of the wounded soldiers was Niles Harris, who would later recount the battle to Big Kenny. Harris' life was saved in '65 by a black medic, Lawrence Joel, who received the Congressional Medal of Honor for it. According to the citation, Joel, though struck twice and with a bullet lodged in his thigh, treated 13 more men before his medical supplies ran out; his dutiful, selfless conduct under the most adverse conditions saved many lives and inspired all.

Though basically a country duo, Big & Rich collaborated with many other artists, including Martina McBride, Gretchen Wilson and Cowboy Troy. Individually or together they wrote #1 hits for Faith Hill ("Mississippi Girl") and Tim McGraw ("Last Dollar (Fly Away)"). They contributed a cover of John Lennon's "Nobody Told Me" to the album "Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur" and in 2008 were even mentioned in a Doonesbury comic strip by Gary Trudeau.
