With his first two singles reaching number one upon their release, Clay Walker immediately established himself as a commercial success. Unlike most of his new country contemporaries of the mid-’90s, he was able to sustain that success over a couple of years, racking up no less than five number one singles in the first three years of his career.
Clay Walker (born August 19, 1969) was born and raised on a farm in Beaumont, TX, the hometown of George Jones. Walker fell in love with country music at an early age, when his father gave him a guitar when he was only nine years old. After he graduated from high school, Walker pursued a musical career full-time, playing concerts across the South, the Midwest, and Canada. For over three years, he toured and went to school, taking courses about the music business. During this time, he acted as his own manager. Eventually, he became the house singer at the Neon Armadillo bar in Beaumont. While performing at the club, producer James Stroud heard Walker and offered to work with the singer. Stroud helped Walker secure a contract with Giant Records, and the pair began working on the vocalist’s debut album.
“What’s It to You” became a number one hit upon its release in August of 1993, with “Live Until I Die” following it into the pole position later that same year. Both singles were featured on his debut album, Clay Walker, which was released in the fall of 1993. “Where Do I Fit in the Picture,” the third single from the album, became a number 11 hit in early 1994. “White Palace” was a flop, failing to crack the Top 40, but “Dreaming With My Eyes Open” became his third number one hit in the summer of 1994, helping make his debut record a platinum album.
