[edit] Biography

The pair started out together as songwriters in Nashville, Tennessee, working for the same publishing group; they penned the hit Country song "Since I Found You" in 1986 for Sweethearts of the Rodeo shortly before landing their own record deal.[1]

Foster & Lloyd's self-titled debut album was released in 1987, producing five hit singles on the U.S. Billboard country music charts. Their follow-up albums, Faster & Llouder (1989) & Version of the Truth (1990), were less successful; after the third album, the duo parted ways. Radney Foster later embarked on a solo career, charting several Top 40 hits between 1992 and 1994. He continues to record his own solo albums, and occasionally writes singles for other country artists. Lloyd currently works as a session guitarist.[1]
