Steve Wariner
“Spokes in a Wheel”
SelecTone Records
“Spokes In A Wheel” is a brand new song from Grammy-winning, hit songwriter and guitar virtuoso Steve Wariner. With a lilting melody and memorable chorus, the lyrics tell us to take care of the earth and each other because “we’re all connected, we’re all affected by every single thing that we do.” Wariner will debut the song during his April 10 appearance on A Prairie Home Companion.
“I wrote this song with my good friend Kent Blazy, and it’s been in my ‘favorite’ stack for a while,” says Wariner. “It was the first song I recorded after completing the Chet project. I just love what it says about how we’re all responsible for this planet and what we’re leaving to our children. It’s also a really positive message about how each of us can make this world better in our own way.”
Wariner just won a Grammy for Best Country Instrumental Performance for “Producer’s Medley” from Steve Wariner c.g.p., My Tribute to Chet Atkins. It was announced in March that he will be inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame in 2011, along with Keith Whitley, Patty Loveless, John Michael Montgomery, the Goins Brothers, Larnelle Harris, and Molly O’Day. Wariner has charted over 30 Top 10 singles, including 14 No. 1s, since beginning his recording career in 1977. He has won a total of four Grammy Awards. In 1998 he won the CMA Single and Song of the Year awards for his No. 1 hit, “Holes in the Floor of Heaven,” which was also the ACM Song of the Year in 1999. Wariner joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1996. As a songwriter he has earned 16 BMI Country Awards and 15 BMI Million-Air Awards (for songs receiving over one million on-air plays). He was inducted into the Music City Walk of Fame in 2008 and the National Thumbpickers Hall of Fame in 2009.
