The Kinleys

[1] Having started out on Al Alberts' Showcase, a televised talent show from the Philadelphia area, the twins moved to Nashville at the age of 19.

[2] After five years of training and practicing, they caught the attention of talent scouts and were signed with Epic Records.

Its commercial success led to a tour with Clint Black and a radio programmers' showcase in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In 1998, The Kinleys received the Academy of Country Music Award for Top New Vocal Group or Duo of the Year.

The single failed to make the Top 40 in the Country charts and the second, self-titled album, slated for an Autumn 1999 release, was put on hold by Epic, who decided to bring in Radney Foster to work with the duo in order to broaden their sound and gain stronger chart appeal.

[5] After II, the Kinleys exited Epic's roster, as "neither enjoyed life on the road one bit" and both had wanted to start families.
