Diamond Rio are breaking new ground with the release of their first album (11th overall) to the Christian market. 'The Reason' releases September 22 in conjunction with their autobiography, 'Beautiful Mess.'
The group, named Vocal Group of the Year twice by the Country Music Association and four times by the Academy of Country Music, says the upcoming disc is more a revelation of who they are than a change in direction for them. "We're not preaching, but we're saying, 'This is who I am and I'm proud of it'," he says. "God is working and we're here for a reason."
This isn't the first time for Diamond Rio to show their spiritual side. Their Christian beliefs are also showcased in their hits 'I Believe,' 'Mama Don't Forget to Pray for Me' and 'One More Day.'
