Currington debuted in '03 with the powerful Top 10 hit 'Walk A Little Straighter', followed by the Top 5 smash 'I Got A Feelin''. He went on to duet with Shania Twain on 'Party for Two' and quickly earned notoriety, a devoted fan base and platinum sales status. Sophomore album Doin' Somethin' Right debuted at No 2 on the country charts and further delivered with the hits. 'Good Directions' and 'Must Be Doin' Somethin' Right' snagged him his first and second No 1 singles, the latter of which also won him 'Hottest Video of the Year' at the '06 CMT Music Awards.
