Following is a collection of Craig Wiseman photographs we've taken at places like Puckett's Grocery (in Leiper's Fork), the Bluebird Cafe, and a few other locations in and around Nashville.
First, some Craig Wiseman facts:
- With nearly 200 of his songs recorded by County Music artists to date, Craig Wiseman is one of the hottest songwriters around. Craig has penned hits for Tim McGraw, Brooks & Dunn, Montgomery Gentry, Trace Adkins, Phil Vassar, Lonestar, Kenny Chesney, Brooks & Dunn, Travis Tritt, Toby Keith, Faith Hill, Aaron Tippin, Lari White, Diamond Rio, Tracy Lawrence, Van Zant, Patty Lovelace, John Michael Montgomery, Joe Diffee, LeAnn Rimes, Billy Ray Cyrus, and many MANY others.
- More than 60 of his songs have hit the music charts, with a dozen (and counting!) making it into the No. 1 position.
- Check out Craig Wiseman's bio.
- His own independent publishing company is called Big Loud Shirt where the company's first cut (a smashing hit!) was Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying".
- Craig's songwriting career began at the age of 24 when he was working for Roy Orbison. A song he penned, called "The Only One" appeared on Orbison's "Mystery Girl" album and became a hit.
At NSAI's song camp a few years back, Wiseman told us how he started as a songwriter. He had a local band and one member was Roy Orbison's son. While messing on guitars, they co-wrote a song... Craig didn't think much more about it. A few weeks later, Roy's son told him that Roy was cutting the song on his "Mystery Girl" album. That album sold a million copies with the radio hit "You Got It" but that was not the song written by Craig and Roy's son. Their song: Only One (Orbison/Wiseman). That was Craig's big break into the world of songwriting. Source
- Best interview on record with Craig Wiseman.
- Official website for Craig Wiseman: There is none. (Judging from our hits on a daily basis, our site might be serving as Craig Wiseman's official homepage!) Of course, there is a MySpace page for his company: Big Loud Shirt.

Hello There!!! I saw Craig at the CRS at the convention center. Watched him perform some of his hits. What a talented man. It just rolled off of him, the majic he has. Thanks for sharing yourself.
Peace, Carol Ann
I was lucky enough to see Craig Wiseman on the Delbert McClinton Blues Cruise last month.
I bought the CD Greatest Hitz, but for some reason it doesn't want to read in my CD player any more (did I wear it out???).
Anyway, I am searching (without success so far) for another copy of that CD. Can you help?
Regards,
Dave Dier
please keep writing the songs for kenny chesney he does a great job singing them... Would love to meet him. :):):):):):)
Hey, I was wondering if you guys know the background of "Tell Her" that Wiseman wrote. Lonestar performs it. I need information on what inspired him to write that song for a school project.
Craig played drums in my husbands band (Easy Feelings Band) for a few years just before he went to Nashville. We are so tickled by his success! I have pictures when he was a young 20 year old. If allowed I would love to send these to you to post.
