Lorrie Morgan’s Ex-Husbands to Form a Band
The former husbands of ’90s country queen Lorrie Morgan announced today that they will come together to release a debut album under the name Five Minutes Later, apparently a reference to one of Morgan’s chart-topping breakup songs. The band will include: Ron Gaddis (1979-1980), previously the bass player in George Jones’ band, on bass; Jon Randall (1996-1999), a noted songwriter/guitarist whose “Whiskey Lullaby” was a 2004 hit for Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss, on electric and acoustic guitars; and Sammy Kershaw (2001-2007) on lead vocals and tambourine. That leaves only Brad Thompson (1991-1993), a one-time bus driver for Clint Black with no known musical talents. Not content to just drive the other three guys around, Thompson has been hard at work trying to learn the drums by the time the group goes into the studio in April. If his course of self-instruction is successful, the only non-participating husband will be the late Keith Whitley (1986-1989).
Kershaw, serving as the spokesman for the band, said that the Five Minutes Later sound will be a “soulful, Possum-inflected honky hybrid that takes no prisoners and rocks with great abandon.” He also expressed some hope that Morgan might next marry a keyboard player to help jazz the tunes up a bit.
Brilliance. And damn funny too.
A bunch of fricken idiots..users,drunks,moneyhungry crybabies, how low can these grown men be to have to get together and ridicule this TALENTED lady! You’ll never hear Lorrie say 1 bad thing about anyone.
Lorrie Fan…reread that article, particularly the byline.
Poor Lorrie, They were all cheaters.
I’ve heard the band members have approached Lorrie about doing a guest vocalist appearance on a song she inspired titled “All My Ex’s Live In Nashville”. I can hardly wait…..
Dakota michelle aka: songbird dont worry old friend he didnt come out in over alls but my soul and song is looking for you and needs you and ..
Wow, this is going to be great for Kershaw…now he’s got a band to perform with him during his inauguration as Lt. Governor of Louisiana. Hopefully the band can work around his work schedule.
Seriously…I must have missed this when it was written back in 2009, but this is absolutely hysterical. Thanks,, Lorrie Fan, for posting in this thread…otherwise I would’ve missed this gem.
