Both members had recorded solo albums and had charted singles of their own prior to Orrall & Wright's inception.
As Orrall & Wright, they charted two more singles and recorded a self-titled album on the Giant label.
Unlike most other country music duos present at the time, Orrall & Wright's members shared lead vocals on every song that they recorded.
Wright joined the band Shenandoah, in which he served as lead singer until being replaced with Jimmy Yeary in 2007.
After leaving Shenandoah, he joined Pure Prairie League.
