Diamond Rio has long been one of country music's most successful groups. The band released its platinum-selling debut disc in 1991. The following year, Diamond Rio won the Country Music Association's Vocal Group of the Year award for the first time. They've scored nine No. 1 hits and placed 15 singles in the Top Five, and was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 1998. Though they are a successful country band, the group has always been known for songs that convey hope and celebrate faith such as the No. 1 hit "I Believe," "Mama Don't Forget to Pray for Me" and the poignant "God Only Cries." In 2011 they received their first Grammy Award in the category of "Best Southern, Country or Bluegrass Gospel Album" for The Reason. RATING: Country.
