Diamond Rio will celebrate the band’s 25th anniversary by releasing their first ever live album. The live tracks will be available exclusively at iTunes on Nov. 18 and the CD/DVD through Rio Hot Records at www.diamondrio.com.
“It’s something we’ve wanted to do for a while,” lead singer Marty Roe says. “Our live show plays a major role in who we are. I didn’t start as a recording artist. I started on stage.”
Diamond Rio Live includes 22 of their top 10 singles, five no.1 singles and two never before recorded highlights of their show, the Newgrass Medley and Western Medley.
After 25 years together, the band has sold more than 10 million albums, won a Grammy Award, a Dove Award, six Vocal Group of the Year awards (CMA and ACM), released two Greatest Hits projects and nine studio albums including three certified platinum and five gold, had five multi-week no. 1 singles, 22 Top 10 singles, an autobiography and zero band member changes.
