"HE BELIEVED" is in GAC’s top 50 video countdown for 2007
A thank you fron Aaron
"Man, I am so thrilled that "HE BELIEVED" was in the top 50 videos for the year on GAC. It is extra special because Thea and I wrote that song about my Dad and the video has our son Teddy in it and we tried to put a lot of things in there that represent who my Dad was (the airplanes,the cross, his ballcap from when he was a T-AGOS ship captain, pictures of him through the years). I want to say a big thanks to you for taking the time to vote. I can’t think of any of the videos I’ve done in the past that I would rather have in this countdown. It wouldn’t have happened without all of you. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

AARON TIPPIN "NOW AND THEN" IN COUNTRY WEEKLY
Hey there all! Check out some press coverage Aaron Tippin has in the Country Weekly! There is an article you can read and a album review for "Now And Then".
The hardest workin man in country music is back and ready for action. Though he was still touring heavily, he had not recorded new material for 3 years. After a 3 year break from recording, Aaron Tippin is now ready to share his new music with his devoted fans and catch some new ears along the way too.
After Aaron Tippin parted ways with Lyric Street Records in 2004, he began recording a new cd that he released on his own label called Nippit Records (Tippin spelled backwords).The album is titled "Now And Then" and is a mix of new songs and some of Aaron's greatest hits. Included in the new cd is a song that Aaron and his wife Thea wrote about his father who passed away a couple of years ago. The song is titled "He Believed" and holds a very special place in Aarons heart.
Along with recording "Now And Then", Aaron also released 2 brand new music videos,"Ready To Rock(In A Country Kind A Way)"and "He Believed" which starred Aaron's son Teddy as "young Aaron".
Aaron made his reputation with such hard core honkey tonkperformances as"Working Man's PH.D","You've Got To Stand For Something" and "Ther Ain't Nothin Wrong With The Radio".
Tippin began performing in local honky tonks in the 1970's. He competed on the TNN show "You Can Be A Star" in 85 landed a songwriter's contract and moved to Music City in 86. Always a focused and purposeful man, Aaron created a work routine that was spartan in it's intensity. He worked the midnight to dawn shift at a factory in KY, commuted to music row to wright songs,lifted weights late every afternoon, went to bed , got up and did it all again!
The dedication started to pay off. He began winning body building competitions and artists such as Mark Collie, Diamond Rio, David Bell and the Mid-South Boys started recording his songs.
Aaron preformed his first Nashville night club show in 1990. It earned him a recording contract with RCA Records. Before ever setting foot on tour , he was afforded the oppotunity to join Bob Hope on a USO tour to Saudi Arabia during the Gulf war.Afetr his return his hit songs led to concert dates with Brooks and Dunn, Reba McEntire and Hank williams jr. Aaron became one of the most memorable country artists of the 90's. In concert he invariably communicated the heart of a poet, the zeal of an evangelist, the humer of a class clown and the soul of a gladiator.
His hits sounded like no one else! "My Blue Angle", "That's As Close As I'll Get To Lovin You"and "I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way" formed a body of work that is totalty individual and in direct contrast to the sound alike records that characterized the era.
Five of his RCA albums went gold and one platinum. Between 1990-1997, Aaron scored six hit records and created such memorable moments as "Call Of The Wild", "I Got It Honest" and "Whole Lota Love On The Line". His work apeared on the soundtracks of films such as "The Beverly Hillbillies"(1993) and "Fire Down Below"(1997). He also became a national spokesman for Channel Lock Tools. Success as a song writer for others continued Garth Brooks, Charley Pride and Kenny Chesney recorded Tippin tunes.
Aaron married his wife Thea in 1995. In 1997 they welcomed son Theodore into there lives with son Thomas ariving in 2000. Aaron also has a beautiful daughter, Charla from his first marriage. Charla is married to Kenneth a Blackhawk pilot in the S.C. Air National Guard. They live South Carolina.
Aaron signed with Lyric Street records in 1998 and immediately scord back to back hits with "For You I Will" and "I'm Leaving".Aarons popularity spiked again in the new millenium thanks to chart topping hits "Kiss This" and " Where The Stars And Stripes And The Eagle Fly". He also received his 6th gold record and his 1st ACM award nomination.
For Aaron his carrer became a lifestyle. "The fans are truly amazing. They'er the reason i still have a job. I'm a very lucky man"
In 2002 Aaron went to Afghanistan and since then he has been making annual visits to our forces in Iraq and became the celebrity spokesman for the Paralyzed Veterans Of America, th Armed Services YMCA which takes care of the military families while their spouses are overseas and Toys For Tots which the Marines founded.At every show Aaron puts together a bike onstage while performing and brings a Marine up and donates the bike to the children of the community that they are in for Toys For Tots. Aaron has donated over 600 bikes so far.
Aaron has been on "The Larry King Show", "Hannity And Colmes" and performed shows for the "Hannity Freedom Concert" and many benifits to support our troops.
On top of being one of the greatest performers to hit the country music scene, Aaron also has many other talents. He became a commercial pilot at the age of 17. He owns 4 planes and is also a hellocopter pilot. He is an avid hunter and looks forward personal time with his boys, teaching them how to hunt, fish and enjoy the great outdoors.
And don't think his talents end there, you can add welder, truck driver and wine maker to the list. Yes wine maker! Aaron has his own winery and is constantly creating different types of wine. He and Thea love to visit wineries when he has time off.
Would love to be there for your show on the Grand Old Opry!! In Japan right now though, Jeff Cornis, US Marine. Check out my music page if you can. Thanks for all you do to support the troops.
Thanks SO much for the add! Love, love, love your and Thea's music! God Bless you both for using your talents from Him to return the blessings back to your fans! Hope to see you in OK sometime!:) Tammy aka Barbed Wire Candle Lady Bar W Candles www.barwcandles.com Those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness Proverbs 14:22
