There are at least 3 artists called Lonestar:
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.

These guys (country) were the best. Real talent and heart. As far as I'm concerned they broke up in '07 when Richie left. Ode to my childhood.

there is no arguing that lonestar cut their long hair and shaved their faicial hair right aroung the same time they came out with the smash hit amazed and went to more of a pop music sound. when metallica did that all of the world bought the album but admitted that their hardcore fans were right... they sold out for money

Coming from a non-biased view, as being a fan of both Country & Dubstep (although I don't enjoy the Country version of this artist), the Country band did come first. Farrrrr before the Dubstep producer did.
