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.

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 on good terms in 1990, as Foster decided that their songs were not suitable for a duo. Radney Foster later embarked on a solo career, and in 1992 he released his debut single "Just Call Me Lonesome", the first of four top 40 solo hits in his career. He continues to record his own solo albums, and occasionally writes singles for other country artists. Lloyd works as a session guitarist.
