4B – Daily News – Thursday, November 25, 2010 Pastimes Jefferson Public Radio, the Cas- cade Theatre and Q97FM present Clint Black in concert at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 14 at Redding’s historic Cascade Theatre.

To date, Black has written, recorded and released more than 100 songs -- a benchmark in any artist’s career – and sold more than 20 million albums worldwide. Black’s contin- ued success can be attributed in part to his deep sense of country music history, and his humble gratitude in being an important part of it. "A Better Man," Black's first sin- gle, was released early in 1989 and it quickly became a number one hit – making Black the first new male country artist to have a number one song with his debut single in 15 years. Black became an immediate country music sensation with the release of his debut album, Killin' Time, which went gold within six months and spawned four other hit singles, including the number ones "Killin' Time," "Nobody's Home," and "Walkin' Away." At the end of 1989, he won the Country Music Association's (CMA) Horizon Award, as well as the CMA’s Best Male Vocalist Award. He also won Best Album, Best Single, Best Male Vocalist, and Best New Male Vocalist awards from the Academy of Country Music.
