Encouraged to become a musician by his mother, who taught him to play guitar, Doug Stone made his live debut at the tender age of seven, supporting Loretta Lynn. Signed to Epic Records years later, Stone had his first country hit in 1990 with the self-pitying “I’d Be Better Off (In A Pine Box).” His other major successes included the tear-jerkers “Why Didn’t I Think of That,” “I Never Knew Love,” and “A Jukebox with a Country Song.” Despite heart trouble that included bi-pass surgery, Stone continued to record and tour throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s.
