Nashville (by way of Alberta, Canada -- where they were known as
12 Gauge) band
Emerson Drive had no problem fitting in on country radio in the 2000s when the genre drifted into the pop/rock arena left wide open by the emergence of alternative rock and rap, and they enjoyed several hits on the country charts both in the U.S. and Canada with songs that had very little in common with
George Jones. This set collects the best of these, along with a handful of new and previously unreleased tracks, to make a good introduction to this unassuming but professionally alert band.
