His self-titled Columbia Records release debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Country Album charts. It was certified GOLD and garnered two back-to-back top five hits with “Sweet Southern Comfort” and “Help Pour Out the Rain (Lacey’s Song)” Both tunes are certified 1 million radio air plays. Buddy has been recognized by the Grammy’s, ACM’s, CMA’s and CMT with multiple award nominations. In 2011, he won the International Country Gospel Music Association’s “Entertainer of the Year” and “Crossover Artist of the Year” awards.

He especially has a heart for children and actively supports several worthy causes including St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Buddy is a proud American patriot and chooses to serve our nation as well. In December 2010, Buddy traveled with the Sergeant Major of the Army on an extensive USO tour to remote forward operating bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, visiting with and performing for our armed forces on the front lines.
Above all these things, Buddy is a proud father, a devoted husband and an outspoken Christ follower. In 2011 Buddy released a Gospel album titled “I Surrender All”, and one of his songs, “When I’m Good and Gone”, was recorded by Ricky Skaggs and Sharon White and has since been featured on many national platforms including Fox News’ Hannity.
