In 2006 George Strait scored a #1 hit with his tune Take It Away, which also won Anderson accolades as the Songwriter of the Year from the Academy of County Music. Conlee started a career in the music business as a deejay in the 1970s, but quickly became a household word with his first big hit, the self- penned Rose Colored Glasses in 1978. His next hit, Back Side of Thirty, began a string of chart toppers, among them Lady Lay Down, Busted and Years After You. His unique voice and warm stage pres- ence has made him a favorite with audiences for more than two decades, but Conlee says he prefers a quiet life with his family and making records the public can enjoy to the glitz and hype of the enter- tainment business. His most recent Fellow Travelers LP provided two hit singles, including Hit the Ground Runnin’, the theme for a national Ford truck promo- tion.
