An Evening with Clint Black | Friday, Oct. 27 at 8 PM | Yardley Hall | Black has sold more than 20 million records and received nearly two dozen nominations and major awards, including a Grammy Award and a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.
The Cohen Community Series presents gold and platinum winner Clint Black. Black has sold more than 20 million records and received nearly two dozen nominations and major awards, including a Grammy Award and a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. It has been more than three decades since the release of Clint Black’s groundbreaking debut album, “Killin’ Time.” The genre-altering record cemented the country music icon as one of the truest traditionalists in the industry. His widespread influence can still be felt in the works of artists today. Having earned 22 No. 1 career singles, nearly two dozen gold and platinum awards in the U.S. and Canada, a Grammy Award, and numerous awards from the Country Music Association (CMA), Academy of Country Music (ACM) and American Music Awards, Black has had one of the most storied careers in modern music. Black surged to superstardom as part of the fabled class of ’89, reaching No. 1 with five consecutive singles from his triple-platinum debut, “Killin' Time.” He followed that with the triple-platinum, “Put Yourself in My Shoes,” and then a string of platinum and gold albums throughout the ’90s. Perhaps most impressively, he wrote or co-wrote every one of his more than three dozen chart-topping hits, including “A Better Man,” “Killin’ Time,” “When My Ship Comes In,” “A Good Run of Bad Luck,” “Summer’s Comin’,” “Like the Rain” and “Nothin’ But the Taillights,” part of a catalog that produced 22 No. 1 singles, making him one of the most successful singer/songwriters of the modern era. The seemingly unstoppable legend released his well-received 23rd album, “Out of Sane,” in June 2020. The record, self-produced by Black, not only stays true to sounds that birthed country music, but also progresses the genre to today’s sensibilities. The Houston-raised musician has certainly come a long way from the Texas nightclub circuit where he first began.
