Chris Cummings

The latest CD “Who Says You Can’t?” by KOCH recording artist Chris Cummings was released in October 2006, it is his fourth studio album to hit the shelf. Born in Norton, New Brunswick, Cummings was signed by Warner Nashville in 1993 and spent most of the next eleven years there. His self-titled debut album contained four top 10 singles and was certified Gold in 1998. Six more top ten singles followed, two off of “Lonesomeville”, three from “Ohh…That Could Cost Him the Gold Bob” and one from his greatest hits package from 2004. Cummings wrote six songs on the new album and co-wrote one more with long time collaborator Rod Lewis (No One Hurts Me, Lucy Got Lucky). Cummings has long been a critically acclaimed songwriter with cuts by Ricochet, Daryle Singletary, David Frizell and the Grammy nominated recording "Twentieth Century" for Alabama. The first single, "Dixie Beauxderaunt", is the first radio release by Cummings that was not self-penned. "I bought Dan Baird's "Love Songs For The Hearing Impaired" in High School and wore out 3 copies in two years. I've always thought this song just had to be on the radio. Dan who co-wrote the first single with Terry Anderson is the writer of the 80's mega hit "Keep Your Hands to Yourself." "Dixie" was a top 20 record on the charts and a #3 video at CMT. It was followed by "For The Music" which reached the top 15. The current single "In The Nicest Way" is still active on the charts. The next release from “Who Says You Can’t?” will be released to radio in the spring of 2008.
