Biography of Aaron Tippin

Early Life and Musical Beginnings

Aaron Tippin, an American singer-songwriter, was born in Pensacola, Philadelphia in 1958. He grew up on a family farm in Southern California, where he first began singing while doing routine chores. Tippin started playing the guitar at the age of 10, but also inherited a passion for flying from his father, who was a pilot before becoming a farmer. Tippin obtained his pilot's license at the age of 15 and flew until he turned 20. Although he pursued a commercial pilot career, he eventually decided to return to music.

Early Career and RCA Contract

Tippin played honky-tonk style music and wrote songs while working various jobs. Unfortunately, he went through a divorce and moved to Nashville in 1986. Tippin was hired as a songwriter at the legendary Acuff-Rose company, where his works were later recorded by Charley Pride, Mark Collie, and David Ball. In 1990, thanks to his demo recording, he signed a contract with RCA. His debut album, titled "You've Got to Stand for Something," was released in 1991. He was then invited to tour with Bob Hope.

Success and Challenges

Tippin's second album, "Read Between the Lines," was released in 1992 and achieved multi-platinum status. The album included hit singles such as "I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way," "My Blue Angel," and his first number one hit, "There Ain't Nothing Wrong With the Radio." His 1993 album, "The Call of the Wild," highlighted his love for crowd-rousing anthems, such as "Honky Tonk Superman." The following year, his album "Lookin' Back at Myself" was less successful, but his 1995 album "Tool Box" returned him to the top of the charts with the hit song "That's as Close as I'll Get to Loving You."

Reinvention and Continued Success

In the same year, Tippin remarried. However, when subsequent singles failed to match the popularity of his previous hits, his relationship with RCA began to strain. Eventually, they parted ways, but by 1998, Tippin managed to rehabilitate himself and signed a contract with Disney subsidiary, Lyric Street Records. His album "What This Country Needs" was released a year later and returned Tippin to the top ten with the single "For You I Will." His 2000 album, "People Like Us," further solidified his success in the country music scene, with the song "Kiss This," written by his wife, Thea, playing a significant role. He released a Christmas album, "A December to Remember," in 2001, followed by "Stars & Stripes" in 2002. The eleventh track, "Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly," became a hit and entered the top 20 songs chart.
