Happy Birthday To Wade Hayes- Turns 40 Today


Happy Birthday wishes go out today to another one of country's current unsung hero's- Wade Hayes. Signed to Columbia Records in 1994, he made his debut that year with his gold-certified album Old Enough to Know Better. Its title track, which served as his debut single, reached Number One on the Billboard charts, and three more singles from it all reached Top Ten as well.

Hayes' second album, 1996's On a Good Night, was also certified gold, although its #2-peaking title track was the only Top 40 hit from it. When the Wrong One Loves You Right, his third album, produced two more singles, including the #5 "The Day That She Left Tulsa (In a Chevy)", although he left the label by 1999. A year later, he signed to the Monument roster, where he released Highways & Heartaches, his final solo album. This album produced no Top 40 country hits, however, and was his last solo album. He has since joined the backing band for former Alabama lead singer Randy Owen.

Celebrate his big day with a watch of his music video for "What I Meant To Say..."
