Doug Supernaw
Doug Supernaw (* 26. September 1960 as Douglas Anderson Supernaw in Houston , Texas ) is an American country singer, who is counted among the new traditionalists.
Beginnings
Doug's mother, a miner's daughter, was into country music , while his father, a scientist in the petroleum industry, preferred classical music . Doug himself was a passionate athlete from childhood. His achievements as a golfer were so remarkable that he received a college scholarship for it. His second passion was songwriting, which he also started very early on.
He broke off his studies after a short time and joined a band as a lead singer in 1979. He then worked on an oil rig for two years. From 1984 onwards he visited Nashville regularly to look around in hopes of a career in the scene. Several times he was on the verge of a record deal or a job at a music publisher. In 1989 he finally retired to Houston to continue playing high-quality country music in his homeland.
Career
In 1992 he received a record deal from the Nashville BNA label, which had received some of his demo tapes. In the same year the single Honky Tonk Fool was produced and a year later the album Red And Rio Grande . Two successful singles were released from the album, which was gilded a year later: Reno reached number four on the country charts in 1993 and I Don't Call Him Daddy became his first number 1 hit.
Before he could continue his career, he was struck by a curious series of accidents. First he broke a cervical vertebra while surfing. No sooner had he recovered than he survived a serious car accident. Ultimately, he contracted life-threatening food poisoning. In 1995 he switched to the Giant label, where he came third with the single Not Enough Hours In The Night . In the same year the album You Still Got Me was released.
