These 26 Country Stars Are From Here In The Arklatex
With the relatively recent rise to stardom of several locals, we began to ponder what would be left in country music if it weren't for Shreveport and the Arklatex?

Just over the last few years, we've added the likes of Jordan Davis from Shreveport, Lainey Wilson from Baskin, La. (I realize that's a little bit of a stretch from us, but it's just over 100 miles) and most recently, we've been entertained with the debut single "We Ride" from Logansport's own Bryan Martin.
Just consider how much our area has influenced country music from the early days of the Louisiana Hayride with the likes of Elvis Presley and Hank Williams to the next golden era in the 1990's when our area contributed stars like Tracy Lawrence, Trace Adkins and Neal McCoy.
I've often said, and still contend, that a huge majority of Nashville's biggest names have roots from within a 100 mile radius of Shreveport.
We've been home to some of the biggest singers, songwriters, musicians and entertainers world wide and without our contribution, country music would have some incredible voids.
To back up my contention, just look at what we can claim here in the area with "26 Nashville Stars With Arklatex Roots."
