[edit] History
Burnin' Daylight was formed in 1995. Its members included Sonny LeMaire, formerly a member of 1980s country pop band Exile;[2] Kurt Howell, a former member of Southern Pacific (another 1980s country band); and songwriter Marc Beeson, who had previously charted a solo single on BNA Records in the early 1990s.[3] The group had originally assumed the name The Loose Cannons, but was forced to change its name, due to the fact that another band had the same name.[3] Originally, songwriters Trey Bruce and Rob Crosby were slated to be members of Burnin' Daylight as well; however, they decided to focus on their respective solo careers instead.[3]
At first, Burnin' Daylight was intended to be only a live band; however, the group sent a tape to Mike Curb, head of the Curb Records label, who signed the group in 1997.[3] In April of that year, Burnin' Daylight released its eponymous debut album. They charted three singles on the U.S. Billboard country music charts, including a Top 40 hit in "Say Yes".
