"For me, getting on the stage is where we get it all back-- the energy, excitement and the thrills.

When the Texas native broke onto the music scene in 2000 with his in-your-face country style, he quickly attracted the attention of music fans nationwide. Within no time, he had his own cult of fans who simply referred to themselves as "Cagleheads." Everybody sat up and took note of this superstar in the making. Cagle's debut single and video "My Love Goes On and On" not only showcased his vocal and songwriting talent, but also his high-energy no-frills stage presence that only few artists own today. His debut album Play It Loud spawned his first number one hit, "I Breathe In, I Breathe Out," as well as other hit singles including " Laredo " and "Country By The Grace Of God." When he released his second Capitol Records album, Cagle showed no signs of the famous 'sophomore jinx' when Chris Cagle debuted at the #1 position on Billboard's Top Country Album chart. The album contained the Top 5 hits "What A Beautiful Day" and "Chicks Dig It." Both albums went on to be certified Gold by the end of 2003. "It was nice to see our hard work paying off for us in such a short period of time," says Cagle. "It must mean we're doing something right." In early in 2004, he was ordered by his doctor to undertake a long period of vocal rest, something that completely reordered his existence. "In my business," he says, "losing your vocal chords is a potentially career-ending condition, and I had to face the fact that there were things I was doing that were contributing to it. That's the sort of admission that can change you if you'll allow it." The upshot was a Chris Cagle newly rededicated to his craft and to a healthy outlook on life, pouring himself into this new project, which he sees as offering something special to his fans. Now, with the release of his highly anticipated third album, Anywhere But Here, Cagle is back with a bang. First week sales were the country star's biggest to date. T he album's debut single "Miss Me Baby," was written by Cagle and co-writer Monty Powell and is already a Top 20 hit on both Billboard and R&R country singles charts. "Making the music is where I feel the most alive," he says with a smile. "Whether I'm in the studio or on a stage somewhere, when I put on that guitar, I can feel it in my veins: it just sweeps me up and takes me away."
