1) Lonestar is an American country music group consisting of Richie McDonald (lead vocals), Michael Britt (lead guitar, background vocals), Keech Rainwater (drums), Dean Sams (keyboards, melodica, background vocals), and Michael Hill (Bass Guitar). McDonald left the band in November 2007 for a solo career before returning in 2011. During that time, Cody Collins, who had formerly been in another country group called McAlyster, replaced McDonald as the band's lead vocalist. John Rich was also the group's bass guitarist and second lead vocalist until 1998, when he was fired from the group. He left for a solo career, before joining Big Kenny in the duo Big & Rich in 2003. Since Rich's departure, Lonestar has not had an official bass guitarist.
The group began having major country hits in 1995, with the top 10 hit "Tequilla Talking." Their first No. 1 hit was "No News," which spent three weeks at the top of Billboard magazine's Hot Country Singles chart in 1996.
Lonestar's signature song is "Amazed," a ballad which spent nine weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's country chart during the summer of 1999. The song subsequently climbed to the top of Billboard's Hot 100 chart, the first country act to accomplish the feat since 1983's "Islands in the Stream" by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.
Another popular Lonestar song was "Mr. Mom". This song is on of the most played songs on radio stations to date.
Other No. 1 hits include "Come Cryin' to Me" (summer 1997); "Smile" and "What About Now" (both 2000); "Tell Her" and "I'm Already There" (2001); "My Front Porch Lookin' In" (2003). Other important hits in Lonestar's discography include "Running Away With My Heart" and "When Cowboys Didn't Dance" (1996); "Heartbroke Every Day" and "You Walked In" (1997); "Say When" and "Everything's Changed" (1998); "With Me" (2001); "Not a Day Goes By" and "Unusually Unusual" (2002); "Walking in Memphis" (2003); "Let's Be Us Again" (2004); "Class Reunion (That Used to Be Us)" (2005) and "You're Like Coming Home" (2005). Their current single is "I'll Die Tryin'", which is a cover of another Emerson Drive song released three years earlier.
During Lonestar's early years, songwriter John Rich was also a member as the band's bassist. He left the group in 1998 and is now part of the country duo Big & Rich.
On May 1st, 2006 Lonestar sang the National Anthem at Fenway Park in Boston with the return of Johnny Damon.

Lonestar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Two ears of corn and one ride on
The tilt-a-whirl with your favorite girl
Keep on walkin' down the midway
Three-eyed goats and games to play
Step right up, Carney says, "Try your luck"
You can tell the sweet smell of summer in the air
Down at the county fair
Big time, big top, big crowds, big hair
There's nothing bigger all around
The country anywhere
Than the county fair
Judging pigs and judging pies
Fighting for the first place prize
And have you seen this year's queen
4-H club and F.F.A.
Working toward a better day
And a petting zoo, yeah, they got that too
And eight o'clock rolls around, everybody knows
The grandstands open up and it's time for the big show
Down at the county fair
Big time, big top, big crowd, big hair
There's nothing bigger all around
This country anywhere
Than the county fair
Down at the county fair
Big time, big top, big crowds, big hair
There's nothing bigger all around
This country anywhere
Than the county fair
Down at the county fair
Big time, big top, big crowds, big hair
There's nothing bigger
In small towns everywhere
Than the county fair
County fair
Yeah, county fair
The Lonestar song "County Fair" is a nostalgic, upbeat tune that celebrates the joys of small-town life and the sense of community that emerges around a county fair. The opening verses describe the various attractions of the fair, from the junk food on offer ("twenty bucks buys ten coupons / two ears of corn and one ride on / the tilt-a-whirl with your favorite girl") to the carnival games and oddities ("three-eyed goats and games to play / step right up, Carney says, 'Try your luck'"). The chorus repeats the song's title, emphasizing the importance of the county fair as a cultural touchstone and social gathering place for people of all ages.
The second verse broadens the scope of the song's themes to include the more serious activities and achievements that are also part of the fair experience. We hear about the contests for "judging pigs and judging pies," and the participation of local youth organizations like the 4-H club and the F.F.A. There's even a petting zoo for the little ones. Finally, the song builds to a climax as the grandstands open up and the "big show" begins. For a few hours, it seems, small-town America can forget its troubles and revel in the simple pleasures of a county fair.
