In 1981, the band charted for the first time on Hot Country Songs with "If You Don't Know Me by Now," which reached No. 71.
Between then and 1983, four more of the band's singles reached the country charts, including its highest-charting, the No.
Billboard gave the band's 1981 album If You Can't Hang a positive review, praising the instrumentation as well as the rock influences.
After quitting that band, Wright was a solo artist for Airborne and Liberty Records, charting in the Top 40 with "She's Got a Man on Her Mind" in 1990 and releasing a self-titled album in 1992.
Wright has also written singles for Shenandoah, Ronnie Milsap, Daryle Singletary, and Carolina Rain.
