Country singer and songwriter T. Graham Brown was born Anthony Graham Brown in Arabi, Georgia on October 30, 1954. With a career that spans over five decades, he is best known for his string of hits in the mid-to-late 1980s. After spending much of the 1970s performing in local bands, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 1982 and began a career as a jingle singer. Signed to EMI Publishing, he also pursued a career as a songwriter. He came to prominence in 1984 after signing with Capitol Nashville and releasing his debut album, I Tell It Like It Used to Be (1986). The album included two number 1 hits â âHell and High Waterâ and âDonât Be Strangersâ â as well as two additional Top 10 singles. T. Graham Brownâs next album, Brilliant Conversationalist (1987), included three more Top 10 hits including âShe Couldnât Love Me Anymore.â In 1988, he scored this third and final number 1 with âDarlene,â which was taken from the album Come as You Were. However, by 1990, a new generation of country artists started attracting attention and T. Graham Brown found it difficult to break into the Top 20. His album Bumper to Bumper (1990) made the Top 40 but other albums â including You Canât Take it With You (1991), From a Stronger Place (1996) Wine into Water (1998), The Next Right Thing (2003), and Bare Bones (2020) didnât fare as well. T. Graham Brown explored other genres over the course of his career including Gospel / contemporary Christian and attracted a new audience while continuing to excite his longtime fanbase. In 2024, T. Graham Brown was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry and also released the acclaimed album From Memphis to Muscle Shoals.
