Biography

Comprised of equal parts Southern rock and harmony-rich contemporary country, Crossin' Dixon rose to Nashville's attention in the mid-2000s on the strength of their live act. The four Mississippi natives -- vocalist Jason Miller, drummer Michael Bole, and guitarists/vocalists Brandon Hyde and Charlie Grantham -- first performed in 2002 as Kyote Wylde, but a relentless tour ethic (often resulting in 100 shows per year) resulted in a name change that could reflect their interstate travels. In 2006, a mutual friend introduced the band to the influential producer Michael Knox, who had helped launch Jason Aldean's self-titled debut to platinum status the previous year. Knox took note of Crossin' Dixon's vocal harmonies, likening them to those of country legends Alabama, and a deal with Broken Bow Records was inked that September. With Knox handling production duties, Crossin' Dixon entered the studio to record their boisterous debut single, "Guitar Slinger." After its release in the summer of 2007, the band hit the road once again in support of the new single. ~ Andrew Leahey, All Music Guide

Biography

The four members of Crossin Dixon first performed together in 2002. Originally, they assumed the name Kyote Wylde, but after developing a significant fanbase, the band changed its name to Crossin Dixon in 2004, to reflect their widespread touring.[1] The band was recommended to record producer Michael Knox, who had also worked with Jason Aldean, and by 2006, Crossin Dixon was signed to Broken Bow Records.[1] Their first single, entitled "Guitar Slinger", was released to radio in July 2007; both it and the followup, "Make You Mine", charted on the Hot Country Songs charts that year. They released a third single, "I Love My Old Bird Dog (& I Love You Too)" in 2008, but the single failed to chart. Their self-titled debut was released digitally on December 16, 2008.
