Timeline

1961

Buddy Jewell Jr. (born April 2, 1961) is an American country music singer who was the first winner on the USA Network talent show Nashville Star.

Buddy Jewell was born in Lepanto, Arkansas, on April 2, 1961.

He began playing guitar after buying one from a schoolmate during childhood, and saved the money that he earned bagging groceries to buy guitar lesson books.

Jewell also listened to the music that his father, also named Buddy, played for him, and was taught by his uncle Clyde how to play "What a Friend We Have in Jesus".

By age 15, Jewell had also taught himself how to play Johnny Cash's "I Still Miss Someone."

After graduating from Osceola High School, he attended Arkansas State University where he was a member of Pi Kappa Alpha.

Jewell majored in television and radio in college, although he left in his junior year to marry, despite the marriage only lasting two-and-a-half years.

Jewell later moved to Camden, Arkansas, at age 21 in pursuit of a musical career.

There, he discovered a band called White Oak, which was seeking a new lead singer.

This band was sponsored by a booking agency whose roster also included Canyon and a band founded by a then-unknown Trace Adkins.

After touring with White Oak for four years, he moved to Dallas, Texas, where he took a role in a gunfighting show at Six Flags over Texas.

He later entered a singing competition that was sponsored by the band Alabama, whose music was also an inspiration to him.

He won the competition's top prize, which was an opening slot for the band.

After winning the competition, he competed on Star Search where he won Male Vocalist on several episodes.

1990

It became the highest-debuting single by a new country artist since the singles charts were first tabulated via Nielsen SoundScan in 1990.

This song reached number three on the country charts and 29 on the pop charts.

It was the first single from his self-titled debut album, which was produced by former RCA Records artist Clint Black and was recorded in ten days.

Buddy Jewell sold 500,000 copies and earned a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), in addition to producing a second number three country hit in "Sweet Southern Comfort", which also reached number 40 on the pop charts.

This song was followed by the number 38 country single "One Step at a Time".

1993

He later decided to move to Nashville, Tennessee, in 1993, and found work two years later as a demo singer.

As a demo singer, he recorded more than 5,000 demos.

Among the songs that Jewell recorded demos for were "Write This Down" for George Strait, "A Little Past Little Rock" for Lee Ann Womack, "The One" for Gary Allan and "You're Beginning to Get to Me" for Clay Walker.

2001

Jewell also self-released albums entitled One in a Row and Far Enough Away in 2001 and 2002 respectively.

He became the show's first winner that season, and was soon signed to a recording contract with Columbia Records Nashville.

2005

Another album, Times Like These, followed in 2005.

By the end of the year, Jewell was dropped from Columbia's roster.
