About The Great Divide
-
The Great Divide have long been considered pioneers in the Red Dirt, Oklahoma/Texas music movement, and in the early 90’s brought their own special brand of Red Dirt to a national audience when they inked a deal with Atlantic Records. In 1994, their major label debut BREAK IN THE STORM garnered them a strong foothold in a predominately mainstream market. The first single release and music video “Pour Me A Vacation” garnered them admirable mainstream success both at radio and on CMT. Their second major label release REVOLUTIONS continued to push the envelope debuting on the Billboard Country Chart at #73 in its first week. Sound Scan reported REVOLUTIONS as the #4 best-selling album in all music genres throughout Oklahoma City Metro. It was also #29 in pop sales in Nebraska and #18 in country sales in Ft. Worth. The album’s first single “San Isabella” further demonstrated the growing impact of their sound on country music fans everywhere. The video was shot in the beautiful San Isabel mountain range in New Mexico and made its debut on CMT’s Hot Shot video show. In 2000, the band signed with Broken Bow Records (the indie label now best known as the home of hit-maker Jason Aldean) and released AFTERGLOW: THE WILL ROGERS SESSIONS. In 2001 the guys went back to marketing their own music and released REMAIN independently in 2002.
