Diamond Rio released their debut, Diamond Rio, in 1991. It spawned five Top 10 Country hits, including the #1 hit "Meet in the Middle", and went platinum. Their second album, Close to the Edge, released the following year, had three Top 10 singles and went gold. In 1994, their third album was released. Love a Little Stronger wasn't very successful commercially, but did produce another Top 5 single in the title track.
The mid-90's marked both a low point in album-naming creativity and a high point in chart success. Their fourth album, innovatively titled IV and released in 1996, spun off three Top 5 singles. (One of these, "It's All In Your Head", featured a video with Martin Sheen as a fiery preacher engaged in snake handling, mirroring the lyrics of the song.) In 1997, Diamond Rio released its first greatest hits album, entitled Greatest Hits. The album had two brand-new songs: "How Your Love Makes Me Feel" hit #1, and "Imagine That" became yet another top 5 hit. In 1998, Unbelievable was released, giving the band two more top 5 singles. The title track also reached the top 40 on the Pop charts. In 2001, the band released One More Day, whose title track became another chart-topper. The following year, the band released Completely, whose lead track, "Beautiful Mess", became their 4th #1 hit. The album also spawned another #1 single in "I Believe". December 30th, 2005 found Diamond Rio playing their new single In God we Still Trust during halftime of the Vitalis Sun Bowl between UCLA and Northwestern University in El Paso, Texas. Their second Greatest Hits album is scheduled to be released May 9th, 2006.
Unbelievable
Diamond Rio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lovable, unbelievable
She's a mouthful of anything and
Everything a man could want
She ain't typical, she's
Unpredictable, she's available,
It's a miracle
How my heart stumbled into
Lovable, unbelievable
Up 'til now my life has been
So lonely and boring
I never thought I would find
Someone so
Elegant, intelligent, heaven sent,
All my money spent
I put a big down payment on that
Itty bitty diamond ring
She's so beautiful,
It's indisputable, it's undeniable,
She's got-to-havable
She's music to my ears,
Makes my heart sing, so kissable,
Huggable, lovable, unbelievable
There's so many things
I want to tell her
Like I love her
But every time I talk
I start to stutter
She's so elegant, intelligent,
Heaven sent, all my money spent
I put a big down payment on that
Itty bitty diamond ring
She's beautiful,
It's indisputable, it's undeniable,
She's got-to-havable
She's music to my ears,
Makes my heart sing, so kissable,
Huggable, lovable, unbelievable
Kissable, huggable, lovable, unbelievable (x2)

Man when country's songs were actually country songs This is what I miss. Not this new mainstream stuff
@nogotrobot7954
I like to think of their harmonized vocal "fade in" as like a secret handshake between the band and their true fans. Only the select few know about it.
@coopermontoya5024
I know! It’s real subtle but if you pay attention it’s really nice
@coopermontoya5024
I especially like the high octave. It’s really pleasing
@jonathangolden9299
This song still moves me with emotion. The late 80s and the ’90s produced the best country music.
@bknapp9728
In my humble opinion, in the 80s and 90s, there were numerous country artists who were able to appeal to a more mainstream, perhaps even rock music audiences. The 80s and 90s music definitely restored my appreciation for country. Diamond Rio, Brooks&Dunn, Lonestar, Rascal Flatts (1999), Garth Brooks, George Strait, Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, and Clint Black come to my mind. Sure miss this era, but there is a great collection to listen to.
@jacobcornelius1278
I sure miss it myself. Compared to the shit coming out of the radio today.
@shawnduncan5779
I remember hearing this song for the first time about 20 years ago. It still sounds as good as it always has. These guys never lost their touch
