Their first album ''Horse of a Different Color'' ( 2004 ) reached number one in both the '' Billboard '' national chart as well as the ''Billboard'' country music chart. The most successful song from the album was the second single, "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy." This song reached #11 on country Radio , and received wider exposure when ESPN featured the song in commercials for its coverage of the 2004 World Series Of Poker . Big & Rich also showcased this song in a Country-rap music blowout to conclude a CMT awards show. Big & Rich have many admirers from the more mainstream country genre, notably Martina McBride and Tim McGraw , with whom they shared a nationwide sell-out stadium tour in 2004. Later in 2004, the duo embarked on the American Revolution Tour which they coheadlined with Gretchen Wilson and other members of their renegade group known as the MuzikMafia . A live version of the band covering Madonna 's " Like A Virgin " has also made its way onto the web. On the other hand, Big & Rich have been heavily criticized by those who feel that their kind of country music is destroying the genre completely. Generally, these critics come from Neotraditional Country sectors, as well as from country music's purists and elders. Their sophomore album, ''Comin' To Your City'', was released on November 15 , 2005 . Big Kenny's solo CD from 2000 , ''Live a Little,'' was also released in 2005 . Big Kenny and his wife, Christiev, welcomed a son on November 2, 2005. They named him Lincoln William Holiday and John Rich has been named his godfather. Big and Rich also coheadlined in the "Deuces Wild" tour with Brooks & Dunn and the Warren Brothers. BAND MEMBERS Jason Mowery - Fiddle, Banjo, Mandolin DISCOGRAPHY Albums
